We confirm several conjectures of Sun involving quadratic residues modulo odd primes. For any prime $p\equiv 1\pmod 4$ and integer $a\not\equiv0\pmod p$, we prove that \begin{align*}&(-1)^{|\{1\le k<\frac p4:\ (\frac kp)=-1\}|}\prod_{1\le…

The generalised Wronskian of differential order $k\geqslant 1$ for $N$ functions $f_1$, $\ldots$, $f_N$ in $d\geqslant 1$ independent variables $x^1$, $\ldots$, $x^d$ is the determinant of the matrix with these functions' derivatives…

We make many new observations on primitive roots modulo primes. For an odd prime $p$ and an integer $c$, we establish a theorem concerning $\sum_g(\frac{g+c}p)$, where $g$ runs over all the primitive roots modulo $p$ among $1,\ldots,p-1$,…

We investigate the large $n$ behavior of Jacobi polynomials with varying parameters $P_{n}^{(an+\alpha,\,bn+\beta)}(1-2\lambda^{2})$ for $a,b >-1$ and $\lambda\in(0,\,1)$. This is a well-studied topic in the literature but some of the…

We study the characteristic polynomial $p_{n}(x)=\prod_{j=1}^{n}(|z_{j}|-x)$ where the $z_{j}$ are drawn from the Mittag-Leffler ensemble, i.e. a two-dimensional determinantal point process which generalizes the Ginibre point process. We…

For certain negative rational numbers k, called singular values, and associated with the symmetric group S_N on N objects, there exist homogeneous polynomials annihilated by each Dunkl operator when the parameter equals k. It was shown by…

In the present paper, we will discuss the Hankel determinants $H(f) =a_2a_4-a_3^2$ of order 2 for normalized concave functions $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\dots$ with a pole at $p\in(0,1).$ Here, a meromorphic function is called concave if it…

In this paper we show, how a straightforward and natural application of a pair of fundamental identities valid for polynomials orthogonal over the unit circle, can be used to calculate the determinant of the finite Toeplitz matrix, $$…

This (partly expository) paper originated from the study of Hankel determinants of convolution powers of Catalan numbers and of Narayana polynomials. This led to some Hankel determinants of signed Catalan numbers whose values are multiples…

We study the monic polynomials orthogonal with respect to a symmetric perturbed Gaussian weight $$ w(x;t):=\mathrm{e}^{-x^2}\left(1+t\: x^2\right)^\lambda,\qquad x\in \mathbb{R}, $$ where $t> 0,\;\lambda\in \mathbb{R}$. This weight is…

The Hankel determinant $H_{2,1}(F_{f^{-1}}/2)$ of logarithmic coefficients is defined as: \begin{align*} H_{2,1}(F_{f^{-1}}/2):= \begin{vmatrix} \Gamma_1 & \Gamma_2 \Gamma_2 & \Gamma_3 \end{vmatrix}=\Gamma_1\Gamma_3-\Gamma^2_2, \end{align*}…

Let K be a field and let M_n(K) denote the space of n x n matrices with entries in K. Let M be a subspace of M_n(K) of dimension d with the property that there are elements in M with non-zero determinant. Given a basis of M, we define the…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. In this paper we investigate quadratic residues modulo $p$ and related permutations, congruences and identities. If $a_1<\ldots<a_{(p-1)/2}$ are all the quadratic residues modulo $p$ among $1,\ldots,p-1$, then the…

In this note, we explore certain determinantal descriptions of the Robbins numbers. Techniques used for this include continued fractions, Riordan arrays and series inversion. Proven and conjectured representations involve the determinants…

We prove evaluations of Hankel determinants of linear combinations of moments of orthogonal polynomials (or, equivalently, of generating functions for Motzkin paths), thus generalising known results for Catalan numbers.

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.

For a real number $t$, let $r_\ell(t)$ be the total weight of all $t$-large Schr\"{o}der paths of length $\ell$, and $s_\ell(t)$ be the total weight of all $t$-small Schr\"{o}der paths of length $\ell$. For constants $\alpha, \beta$, in…

We investigate the link between rectangular Jack polynomials and Hankel hyperdeterminants. As an application we give an expression of the even power of the Vandermonde in term of Jack polynomials.

Let $p_n(x)$, $n=0,1,\dots$, be the orthogonal polynomials with respect to a given density $d\mu(x)$. Furthermore, let $d\nu(x)$ be a density which arises from $d\mu(x)$ by multiplication by a rational function in $x$. We prove a formula…

I study Hankel determinants of a class of sequences which can be interpreted as generalizations of the Catalan numbers and the central binomial coefficients. They follow a modular pattern with a frequent appearance of zeroes, so that the…
