A short proof of a known result about the density of a certain set in $[0,1]^n$

In Theorem 1 of Acta Arith. 99 (2001), 321-329, Cobeli and Zaharescu give a result about the distribution of the ${\bf F}_p$-points on an affine curve. An easy corollary to their theorem is that the set $\bigcup_p \lbrace (\frac{x_1}{p}, ...,\frac{x_n}{p}), 1 \leq x_i < p \text{and} \prod_{1 \leq i \leq n} x_i \equiv 1 \bmod{p} \rbrace$ is dense in $[ 0,1 ]^n$. In Integers 7 (2007), A7, Foo gives a elementary proof of that fact in dimension $2$. Following Foo's ideas, we give a similar proof in dimension greater than or equal to $3$.

The angular distribution of integral ideal numbers with a fixed norm in quadratic extensions

Erdős and Hall studied the angular distribution of Gaussian integers with a fixed norm. We generalize their result to the angular distribution of integral ideal numbers with a fixed norm in any quadratic extension.

The Local-Global Principle for Integral Generalized Apollonian Sphere Packings

Four mutually tangent spheres form two gaps. In each of these, one can inscribe in a unique way four mutually tangent spheres such that each one of these spheres is tangent to exactly three of the original spheres. Repeating the process gives rise to a generalized Apollonian sphere packing. These packings have remarkable properties. One of them is the local to global principle and will be proven in this paper.
