An identity for binomial symbols modulo an odd positive integer $n$ relating to the least prime factor of $n$ is proved. The identity is discussed within the context of Pell conics.
We give an elementary proof of some identities that express the squares of Riemann zeta function at integer points in terms of the series involving hyperbolic functions, digamma function, Bernoulli numbers etc. In this version, inaccuracies…
In a recent article, Apagodu and Zeilberger (http://arxiv.org/abs/1606.03351)discuss some applications of an algorithm for finding and proving congruence identities (modulo primes) of indefinite sums of many combinatorial sequence. At the…
In this paper we use a formula for the $n$-th power of a $2\times2$ matrix $A$ (in terms of the entries in $A$) to derive various combinatorial identities. Three examples of our results follow. 1) We show that if $m$ and $n$ are positive…
We prove a conjecture that arose in the context of a subspace enumeration problem over finite fields. We prove, more generally, a bibasic, double-sum identity, which extends a $q$-analogue of the (terminating) binomial theorem.
A new polynomial identity is found for Dickson polynomials in characteristic 2. The identity is used to prove that the two polynomials $x^{q+1}+x+1/a$ and $C(x)+a$ have the same splitting field over $F$, where $F$ is a field of…
This note is about the observation that the various transition formulas between bases of trigonometric polynomials can be expressed in terms binomial coefficients. More specifically, we write the entries of the Chebyshev matrices $ T$ and $…
In investigating the properties of a certain class of homogeneous polynomials, we discovered an identity satisfied by their coefficients which involves simple 2F1 Gauss hypergeometric functions. This result appears to be new and we supply a…
The aim of this short note is to show how can be derived from the properties of fundamental interpolation polynomials some nice identities.
We examine an identity originally stated in Ramanujan's ``lost notebook'' and first proven algebraically by Andrews and combinatorially by Kim. We give two independent combinatorial proofs and interpretations of this identity, which also…
We present a proof of a combinatorial conjecture from the second author's Ph.D. thesis. The proof relies on binomial and multinomial sums identities. We also discuss the relevance of the conjecture in the context of PAC-Bayesian machine…
In 1994, Kac and Wakimoto found the denominator identity for classical affine Lie superalgebras, generalizing that for affine Lie algebras. As an application, they obtained power series identities for some powers of $\triangle(q)$, where…
In this series of seven papers, predominantly by means of elementary analysis, we establish a number of identities related to the Riemann zeta function. Whilst this paper is mainly expository, some of the formulae reported in it are…
According to McKay (1980) the irreducible characters of finite subgroups of SU(2) are in a natural 1-1 correspondence with the extended Coxeter-Dynkin graphs of type ADE. We show that the character values themselves can be given by an…
The first author introduced a sequence of polynomials (\cite{8}, sequence A174531) defined recursively. One of the main results of this study is proof of the integrality of its coefficients.

This is a tutorial introduction to the representation theory of SU(2) with emphasis on the occurrence of Jacobi polynomials in the matrix elements of the irreducible representations. The last section traces the history of the insight that…
In this paper, we gave some properties of binomial coefficient.
We show that a binomial identity arising in the context of the study of series expansions of $1/\pi$ can be seen as an incarnation of Whipples second theorem for hypergeometric series.
In previous work on Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, certain remarkable hexagonal arrays of integers are constructed that display behaviors found in Pascal's Triangle. We explain these behaviors further using the binomial transform and discrete…
