Can any element in a sufficiently large finite field be represented as a sum of two $d$th powers in the field? In this article, we recount some of the history of this problem, touching on cyclotomy, Fermats last theorem, and diagonal equations. Then, we offer two proofs, one new and elementary, and the other more classical, based on Fourier analysis and an application of a nontrivial estimate from the theory of finite fields. In context and juxtaposition, each will have its merits.

In the past two decades, many researchers have studied {it index $2$} Gauss sums, where the group generated by the characteristic $p$ of the underling finite field is of index $2$ in the unit group of ${mathbb Z}/m{mathbb Z}$ for the order $m$ of the
multiplicative character involved. A complete solution to the problem of evaluating index $2$ Gauss sums was given by Yang and Xia~(2010). In particular, it is known that some nonzero integral powers of the Gauss sums in this case are in quadratic fields. On the other hand, Chowla~(1962), McEliece~(1974), Evans~(1977, 1981) and Aoki~(1997, 2004, 2012) studied {it pure} Gauss sums, some nonzero integral powers of which are in the field of rational numbers. In this paper, we study Gauss sums, some integral powers of which are in quadratic fields. This class of Gauss sums is a generalization of index $2$ Gauss sums and an extension of pure Gauss sums to quadratic fields.
We show that the diophantine equation $n^ell+(n+1)^ell + ...+ (n+k)^ell=(n+k+1)^ell+ ...+ (n+2k)^ell$ has no solutions in positive integers $k,n ge 1$ for all $ell ge 3$.
In this note, we extend the definition of multiple harmonic sums and apply their stuffle relations to obtain explicit evaluations of the sums $R_n(p,t)=sum olimits_{m=0}^n m^p H_m^t$, where $H_m$ are harmonic numbers. When $tle 4$ these sums were fir
st studied by Spiess around 1990 and, more recently, by Jin and Sun. Our key step first is to find an explicit formula of a special type of the extended multiple harmonic sums. This also enables us to provide a general structural result of the sums $R_n(p,t)$ for all $tge 0$.
We determine primitive solutions to the equation $(x-r)^2 + x^2 + (x+r)^2 = y^n$ for $1 le r le 5,000$, making use of a factorization argument and the Primitive Divisors Theorem due to Bilu, Hanrot and Voutier.
We give an expression of polynomials for higher sums of powers of integers via the higher order Bernoulli numbers.
