In this paper we introduce a class of determinants "of Hankel type". We use them to compute certain remarkable families of Drinfeld quasi-modular forms.
We study the remarkable Saxl conjecture which states that tensor squares of certain irreducible representations of the symmetric groups S_n contain all irreducibles as their constituents. Our main result is that they contain representations…
The harmonic numbers are those $H_n=\sum_{0<k\le n}\frac1k\ (n=0,1,2,\ldots)$. In this paper we confirm over ten conjectural series identities with summands involving the binomial coefficient $\binom{4k}k$ and harmonic numbers. For example,…
Using cyclotomic multiple zeta values of level $8$, we confirm and generalize several conjectural identities on infinite series with summands involving $\binom{2k}k8^k/(\binom{3k}k\binom{6k}{3k})$. For example, we prove that…
Bordered and framed Toeplitz/Hankel determinants have the same structure as Toeplitz/Hankel determinants except in small number of matrix rows and/or columns. We review these structured determinants and their connections to orthogonal…
The Euler numbers occur in the Taylor expansion of $\tan(x)+\sec(x)$. Since Stieltjes, continued fractions and Hankel determinants of the even Euler numbers, on the one hand, of the odd Euler numbers, on the other hand, have been widely…
We derive a closed formula for the determinant of the Hankel matrix whose entries are given by sums of negative powers of the zeros of the regular Coulomb wave function. This new identity applied together with results of Grommer and…
We develop the ratios conjecture with one shift in the numerator and denominator in certain ranges for families of primitive quadratic Hecke $L$-functions of imaginary quadratic number fields with class number one using multiple Dirichlet…
We consider a particular type of matrices which belong at the same time to the class of Hessenberg and Toeplitz matrices, and whose determinants are equal to the number of a type of compositions of natural numbers. We prove a formula in…
We show that many of Ramanujan's modular equations of degree 3 can be interpreted in terms of integral ternary quadratic forms. This way we establish that for any n in N |{n= x(x+1)/2 + y^2 +z^2 : x,y,z in Z}| >= |{n= x(x+1)/2 + 3y^2 +3z^2:…
In this paper we shall survey the various methods of evaluating Hankel determinants and as an illustration we evaluate some Hankel determinants of a q-analogue of Catalan numbers. Here we consider $\frac{(aq;q)_{n}}{(abq^{2};q)_{n}}$ as a…
In a recent paper, Stasinski and Voll introduced a length-like statistic on hyperoctahedral groups and conjectured a product formula for this statistic's signed distribution over arbitrary quotients. Stasinski and Voll proved this…
We connect k-triangulations of a convex n-gon to the theory of Schubert polynomials. We use this connection to prove that the simplicial complex with k-triangulations as facets is a vertex-decomposable triangulated sphere, and we give a new…
For small $r$ the Hankel determinants $d_r(n)$ of the sequence $\left({2n+r\choose n}\right)_{n\ge 0}$ are easy to guess and show an interesting modular pattern. For arbitrary $r$ and $n$ no closed formulae are known, but for each positive…
It is a standard result that the Hankel determinants for a sequence stay invariant after performing the binomial transform on this sequence. In this work, we extend the scenario to $q$-binomial transforms and study the behavior of the…
Binomial coefficients and harmonic numbers are important in many branches of number theory. With the help of the operator method and several summation and transformation formulas for hypergeometric series, we prove eight conjectural series…
We present a general formula for the Atiyah-Sutcliffe determinant function, which holds for any integer $n \geq 2$, as a global factor times a sum of terms, with each term similar to a higher degree cross-ratio. The formula is to our…
Using the following $_4F_3$ transformation formula $$ \sum_{k=0}^{n}{-x-1\choose k}^2{x\choose n-k}^2=\sum_{k=0}^{n}{n+k\choose 2k}{2k\choose k}^2{x+k\choose 2k}, $$ which can be proved by Zeilberger's algorithm, we confirm some special…
By means of Ernst complex potential formalism it is shown, that previously studied static axisymmetric Einstein-Maxwell fields obtained though the application of the Horsky-Mitskievitch generating conjecture represent a combination of…
Fix $n$ a positive integer. Take the $n$-th metallic number $\phi_n=\frac{n+\sqrt{n^2+4}}{2}$ (e.g. $\phi_1$ is the golden number) and let $\Phi_n(q)$ be its $q$-deformation in the sense of S. Morier-Genoud and V. Ovsienko. This is an…
