In this paper we present some results related to the problem of finding periodic representations for algebraic numbers. In particular, we analyze the problem for cubic irrationalities. We show an interesting relationship between the…

Multiple zeta values (MZVs for short) can be represented as iterated integrals of $\mathbb{Q}$-rational algebraic differential forms on $\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{C})\setminus\{0, 1, \infty\}$. This interpretation allows us to consider MZVs…

We express a family of basic cellular integrals over moduli spaces of curves explicitly in terms of multiple zeta values, answering a question of Brown. Moreover, we study a priori the weights appearing in these integrals and find a…

We define a parametric variant of generalized Euler sums and construct contour integration to give some explicit evaluations of these parametric Euler sums. In particular, we establish several explicit formulas of (Hurwitz) zeta functions,…

Let $g$ be a map from the set of positive integers into itself defined as follows: Let $x$ be a positive integer. If $x$ is odd, then $g(x)=3x+1$, and if $x$ is even, then $g(x)=x/2$. The $3x+1$ conjecture, also called the Collatz…

The quantum dynamical systems of identical particles admitting an additional integral quadratic in momenta are considered. It is found that an appropriate ordering procedure exists which allows to convert the classical integrals into their…

We study the rational coefficients that arise when the Eisenstein series $G_k$ is expressed as a polynomial in $G_4$ and $G_6$. We prove a recent conjecture giving an exact formula for the minimal 2-adic valuation of these coefficients in…

We construct a countable family of multi-dimensional continued fraction algorithms, built out of five specific multidimensional continued fractions, and find a wide class of cubic irrational real numbers a so that either (a, a^2) or (a,…

We show that dimensional recurrence relation and analytical properties of the loop integrals as functions of complex variable $\mathcal{D}$ (space-time dimensionality) provide a regular way to derive analytical representations of loop…

In this paper we develop the formalism of rational complex Bezier curves. This framework is a simple extension of the CAD paradigm, since it describes arc of curves in terms of control polygons and weights, which are extended to complex…

We introduce a subclass of linear recurrence sequences which we call poly-rational sequences because they are denoted by rational expressions closed under sum and product. We show that this class is robust by giving several…

The causal set theory d'Alembertian has rational coefficients for which alternating expressions are known. Here, a combinatorial interpretation of these numbers is given.

Consider a formally self-adjoint first order linear differential operator acting on pairs (2-columns) of complex-valued scalar fields over a 4-manifold without boundary. We examine the geometric content of such an operator and show that it…

The p-adic valuation of a polynomial can be given by its valuation tree. This work describes the 2-adic valuation tree of the general degree 2 polynomial in 2 variables.

This article is based upon previous work by Sousa Ramos and his collaborators. They first prove that the existence of only one orbit associated with the Collatz conjecture is equivalent to the determinant of each matrix of a certain…

A recast of the standard residue-class analysis of the 3x+1 (Collatz) map in terms of two elementary operators on arithmetic progressions. The resulting calculus (i) splits any progression into its even and odd subsequences in a single…

We consider perturbations of Dirac type operators on complete, connected metric spaces equipped with a doubling measure. Under a suitable set of assumptions, we prove quadratic estimates for such operators and hence deduce that these…

Two general methods for establishing the logarithmic behavior of recursively defined sequences of real numbers are presented. One is the interlacing method, and the other one is based on calculus. Both methods are used to prove logarithmic…

Motivated by problems arising in the relative trace formula and arithmetic invariant theory we prove the existence of rational points on orbits arising from certain infinitesimal symmetric spaces. As an application, we prove analogous…

In this paper, we determine all the squares in the sequence $\{\prod_{k=2}^n(k^2-1)\}_{n=2}^\infty $. From this, one deduces that there are infinitely many squares in this sequence. We also give a formula for the $p$-adic valuation of the…
