Possible transcendental nature of Euler's constant $\gamma$ has been the focus of study for sometime now. One possible approach is to consider $\gamma$ not in isolation, but as an element of the infinite family of generalised Euler-Briggs…

In this paper we present a new mathematical conception based on a new method for ordering the integers. The method relies on the assumption that negative numbers are beyond infinity, which goes back to Wallis and Euler. We also present a…

For almost all tuples $(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ of complex numbers, a strong version of Schanuel's Conjecture is true: the $2n$ numbers $x_1,\dots,x_n, {\mathrm e}^{x_1},\dots, {\mathrm e}^{x_n}$ are algebraically independent. Similar statements…

Let $N$ be an odd perfect number. Then, Euler proved that there exist some integers $n, \alpha$ and a prime $q$ such that $N = n^{2}q^{\alpha}$, $q \nmid n$, and $q \equiv \alpha \equiv 1 \bmod 4$. In this note, we prove that the ratio…

We study several variants of Euler sums by using the methods of contour integration and residue theorem. These variants exhibit nice properties such as closed forms, reduction, etc., like classical Euler sums. In addition, we also define a…

Euler's totient function counts the positive integers up to a given integer n that are relatively prime to n. The aim of this article is to give a result about the sum of euler's totient function from k equal 1 to n whene p divides n and p…

These notes are devoted to the theory of exponential sums over finite fields. The first chapter recalls some of the number-theoretic interest of such sums. The second chapter discusses the $L$-functions attached to such sums, the "Weil…

Is it possible to distinguish algebraic from transcendental real numbers by considering the $b$-ary expansion in some base $b\ge2$? In 1950, \'E. Borel suggested that the answer is no and that for any real irrational algebraic number $x$…

We consider a variety of Euler's conjecture, i.e., whether the Diophantine system \[\begin{cases} n=a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots+a_{s-1}, a_{1}a_{2}\cdots a_{s-1}(a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots+a_{s-1})=b^{s} \end{cases}\] has solutions…
