Let p be an odd prime number, and a be an integer divisible by p exactly once. We prove that the Galois group G of the trinomial X^{p^{2}}+aX+a over the field Q of rational number is either the full symmetric group S_{p^{2}} or G lies between AGL(1,p^{2}) and AGL(2,p)$. Furthermore, we establish conditions when G is S_{p^{2}}.

We investigate the Diophantine equation x^2 −kxy + ky^2 + ly = 0 for integers k and l with k even. We give a characterization of the positive solutions of this equation in terms of k and l. We also consider the same equation for other values of k and l.

We bound the least primes which split in an imaginary quadratic field in terms of its class number.
