We count the number$S$($x$) of quadruples $ {\left( {x_{1} ,x_{2} ,x_{3} ,x_{4} } \right)} \in \mathbb{Z}^{4} $ for which $$ p = x^{2}_{1} + x^{2}_{2} + x^{2}_{3} + x^{2}_{4} \leqslant x $$ is a prime number and satisfying the determinant condition:$x$_{1}$x$_{4}−$x$_{2}$x$_{3}= 1. By means of the sieve, one shows easily the upper bound$S$($x$) ≪$x$/log$x$. Under a hypothesis about prime numbers, which is stronger than the Bombieri–Vinogradov theorem but is weaker than the Elliott–Halberstam conjecture, we prove that this order is correct, that is$S$($x$) ≫$x$/log$x$.

Consider the following elliptic system: \begin{equation*} \left\{\aligned&-\ve^2\Delta u_1+\lambda_1u_1=\mu_1u_1^3+\alpha_1u_1^{p-1}+\beta u_2^2u_1\quad&\text{in }\Omega,\\ &-\ve^2\Delta u_2+\lambda_2u_2=\mu_2u_2^3+\alpha_2u_2^{p-1}+\beta u_1^2u_2\quad&\text{in }\Omega,\\ &u_1,u_2>0\quad\text{in }\Omega,\quad u_1=u_2=0\quad\text{on }\partial\Omega,\endaligned\right. \end{equation*} where $\Omega\subset\bbr^4$ is a bounded domain, $\lambda_i,\mu_i,\alpha_i>0$ $(i=1,2)$ and $\beta\not=0$ are constants, $\ve>0$ is a small parameter and $2<p<2^*=4$. By using variational methods, we study the existence of ground state solutions to this system for sufficiently small $\ve>0$. The concentration behaviors of least-energy solutions as $\ve\to0^+$ are also studied. Furthermore, by combining elliptic estimates and local energy estimates, we obtain the locations of these spikes as $\ve\to0^+$.
