Let $K/k$ be an extension of number fields, and let $P(t)$ be a quadratic polynomial over $k$. Let $X$ be the affine variety defined by $P(t) = N_{K/k}(mathbf{z})$. We study the Hasse principle and weak approximation for $X$ in three cases. For $[K:k]=4$ and $P(t)$ irreducible over $k$ and split in $K$, we prove the Hasse principle and weak approximation. For $k=mathbb{Q}$ with arbitrary $K$, we show that the Brauer-Manin obstruction to the Hasse principle and weak approximation is the only one. For $[K:k]=4$ and $P(t)$ irreducible over $k$, we determine the Brauer group of smooth proper models of $X$. In a case where it is non-trivial, we exhibit a counterexample to weak approximation.

We prove Manins conjecture for four singular quartic del Pezzo surfaces over imaginary quadratic number fields, using the universal torsor method.
This note investigates the prime values of the polynomial $f(t)=qt^2+a$ for any fixed pair of relatively prime integers $ ageq 1$ and $ qgeq 1$ of opposite parity. For a large number $xgeq1$, an asymptotic result of the form $sum_{nleq x^{1/2},, n text{ odd}}Lambda(qn^2+a)gg qx^{1/2}/2varphi(q)$ is achieved for $qll (log x)^b$, where $ bgeq 0 $ is a constant.
We investigate the group of universal norms attached to the cyclotomic Z {ell}-tower of a totally real number field in connection with Grenbergs conjecture on Iwasawa invariants of such a field.
A recent construction by Amarra, Devillers and Praeger of block designs with specific parameters depends on certain quadratic polynomials, with integer coefficients, taking prime power values. The Bunyakovsky Conjecture, if true, would imply that each of them takes infinitely many prime values, giving an infinite family of block designs with the required parameters. We have found large numbers of prime values of these polynomials, and the numbers found agree very closely with the estimates for them provided by Lis recent modification of the Bateman-Horn Conjecture. While this does not prove that these polynomials take infinitely many prime values, it provides strong evidence for this, and it also adds extra support for the validity of the Bunyakovsky and Bateman-Horn Conjectures.
Given a number field $K$ and a polynomial $f(z) in K[z]$ of degree at least 2, one can construct a finite directed graph $G(f,K)$ whose vertices are the $K$-rational preperiodic points for $f$, with an edge $alpha to beta$ if and only if $f(alpha) = beta$. Restricting to quadratic polynomials, the dynamical uniform boundedness conjecture of Morton and Silverman suggests that for a given number field $K$, there should only be finitely many isomorphism classes of directed graphs that arise in this way. Poonen has given a conjecturally complete classification of all such directed graphs over $mathbb{Q}$, while recent work of the author, Faber, and Krumm has provided a detailed study of this question for all quadratic extensions of $mathbb{Q}$. In this article, we give a conjecturally complete classification like Poonens, but over the cyclotomic quadratic fields $mathbb{Q}(sqrt{-1})$ and $mathbb{Q}(sqrt{-3})$. The main tools we use are dynamical modular curves and results concerning quadratic points on curves.
