Abstract

Given a commutative ring RR with identity, let HRH_R be the set of sequences of elements in RR. We investigate a novel isomorphism between (HR,+)(H_R, +) and (H~R,)(\tilde H_R,*), where ++ is the componentwise sum, * is the convolution product (or Cauchy product) and H~R\tilde H_R the set of sequences starting with 1R1_R. We also define a recursive transform over HRH_R that, together to the isomorphism, allows to highlight new relations among some well studied integer sequences. Moreover, these connections allow to introduce a family of polynomials connected to the D'Arcais numbers and the Ramanujan tau function. In this way, we also deduce relations involving the Bell polynomials, the divisor function and the Ramanujan tau function. Finally, we highlight a connection between Cauchy and Dirichlet products.
