On determinants involving $(\frac{j+k}p)\pm(\frac{j-k}p)$

Let $p=2n+1$ be an odd prime. In this paper, we mainly evaluate determinants involving $(\frac {j+k}p)\pm(\frac{j-k}p)$, where $(\frac{\cdot}p)$ denotes the Legendre symbol. When $p\equiv1\pmod4$, we determine the characteristic polynomials of the matrices $$\left[\left(\frac{j+k}p\right)+\left(\frac{j-k}p\right)\right]_{1\le j,k\le n}\ \ \text{and}\ \ \left[\left(\frac{j+k}p\right)-\left(\frac{j-k}p\right)\right]_{1\le j,k\le n},$$ and also establish the general identity \begin{align*} &\ \left|x+\left(\frac{j+k}p\right)+\left(\frac{j-k}p\right)+\left(\frac jp\right)y+\left(\frac kp\right)z+\left(\frac{jk}p\right)w\right|_{1\le j,k\le n} \\=&\ (-p)^{(p-5)/4}\left(\left(\frac{p-1}2\right)^2wx-\left(\frac{p-1}2y-1\right)\left(\frac{p-1}2z-1\right)\right). \end{align*}

On determinants involving $(\frac{j^2-k^2}p)$ and $(\frac{jk}p)$

Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $(\frac{\cdot}p)$ be the Legendre symbol. In this paper, we study the determinant $$\det\left[\left(\frac{j^2-k^2}p\right)+\left(\frac{jk}p\right)w\right]_{\delta\le j,k\le (p-1)/2}$$ with $\delta\in\{0,1\}$. For example, we prove that the determinant does not depend on $w$ if $p\equiv3\pmod4$ and $\delta=0$.

Enhanced superconductivity in bilayer PtTe$_2$ by alkali-metal intercalations

Layered platinum tellurium (PtTe2) was recently synthesized with controllable layer numbers down to a monolayer limit. Using ab initio calculations based on anisotropic Midgal-Eliashberg formalism, we show that by rubidium (Rb) intercalation, weak superconductivity in bilayer PtTe2 can be significantly boosted with superconducting Tc = 8 K in the presence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC). The intercalant on one hand mediates the interlayer coupling and serves as an electron donor, leading to large density of states at Fermi energy. On the other hand, it increases the mass-enhancement parameter with electron-phonon coupling strength comparable to that of Pt. The potassium intercalated bilayer PtTe2 has a comparable Tc to the case of Rb intercalation. The relatively high Tc with SOC combined with experimental accessible crystal structures suggest that these superconductors are promising platforms to study the novel quantum physics associated with two-dimensional superconductivity, such as the recently proposed type-II Ising superconductivity.

A New Generalization of Fermat's Last Theorem

In this paper, we consider some hybrid Diophantine equations of addition and multiplication. We first improve a result on new Hilbert-Waring problem. Then we consider the equation \begin{equation} \begin{cases} A+B=C ABC=D^n \end{cases} \end{equation} where $A,B,C,D,n \in\ZZ_{+}$ and $n\geq3$, which may be regarded as a generalization of Fermat's equation $x^n+y^n=z^n$. When $\gcd(A,B,C)=1$, $(1)$ is equivalent to Fermat's equation, which means it has no positive integer solutions. We discuss several cases for $\gcd(A,B,C)=p^k$ where $p$ is an odd prime. In particular, for $k=1$ we prove that $(1)$ has no nonzero integer solutions when $n=3$ and we conjecture that it is also true for any prime $n>3$. Finally, we consider equation $(1)$ in quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{t})$ for $n=3$.

Perfect numbers and Fibonacci primes

In this paper, we introduce the concept of $F$-perfect number, which is a positive integer $n$ such that $\sum_{d|n,d<n}d^2=3n$. We prove that all the $F$-perfect numbers are of the form $n=F_{2k-1}F_{2k+1}$, where both $F_{2k-1}$ and $F_{2k+1}$ are Fibonacci primes. Moreover, we obtain other interesting results and raise a new conjecture on perfect numbers.
