We provide the missing member of a family of four $q$-series identities related to the modulus 36, the other members having been found by Ramanujan and Slater. We examine combinatorial implications of the identities in this family, and of…
Resorting to the recursions satisfied by the polynomials which converge to the right hand sides of the Rogers-Ramanujan type identities given by Sills and a determinant method presented in a paper by Ismail-Prodinger-Stanton, we obtain many…
In 2018, Stanton proved two types of generalisations of the celebrated Andrews--Gordon and Bressoud identities (in their $q$-series version): one with a similar shape to the original identities, and one involving binomial coefficients. In…
This is an introduction to algebraic combinatorics, written for a quarter-long graduate course. It starts with a rigorous introduction to formal power series with some combinatorial applications, then discusses integer partitions (proving…
This paper, which is dedicated to Alan Turing on the 50th anniversary of his death, gives an overview and discusses the philosophical implications of incompleteness, uncomputability and randomness.
In this paper, we provide proofs of two ${}_5\psi_5$ summation formulas of Bailey using a ${}_5\phi_4$ identity of Carlitz. We show that in the limiting case, the two ${}_5\psi_5$ identities give rise to two ${}_3\psi_3$ summation formulas…
Inspired by the recent work of Guo, we establish some new q-supercongruences including q-analogues of some Ramannujan-type supercongruences, by using the Bailey transformation formula and the `creative microscoping' method recently…
In the present paper, we establish a general transformation for $q$-series which contains L. Wang et al's transformation involved in Nahm series. As direct applications, some concrete new transformation formulas for the ${}_{r+1}\phi_r$…
This text is based on an invited talk at the Dedekind Symposium at Braunschweig in October 2016. It summarizes views from my recent commented edition of Dedekinds two books on the foundations of mathematics.
We prove a number of new Rogers-Ramanujan type identities involving double, triple and quadruple sums. They were discovered after an extensive search using Maple. The main idea of proofs is to reduce them to some known identities in the…
The paper contains a survey of the results obtained by the author in recent years. These results concern the application in multivariate polynomial interpolation of some geometric constructions and methods. In particular, we give estimates…
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…
This survey paper is an expanded version of lectures given at the Clay Mathematics Academy ; see http://www.claymath.org/programs/outreach/academy/colloquium2005.php These lectures were intended to very young (and motivated) college…
In this paper we give a combinatorial proof and refinement of a Rogers-Ramanujan type partition identity of Siladi\'c arising from the study of Lie algebras. Our proof uses generating functions and $q$-difference equations.
In a famous paper of $1914$ Ramanujan gave a list of $17$ extraordinary formulas for the number $\pi$. In this paper we explain a general method to prove them, based on an original idea of James Wan and in some own ideas.
Using Abel's five-term relation, we derive a new two-parameter series identity for the Rogers dilogarithm. By specializing this identity, we obtain dilogarithm series involving Lucas sequences. These results generalize certain series…
The large volume of publications in any research area can make it difficult for researchers to track their research areas' trends, challenges, and characteristics. Bibliometrics solves this problem by bringing statistical tools to help the…
This survey presents recent Helly-type geometric theorems published since the appearance of the last comprehensive survey, more than ten years ago. We discuss how such theorems continue to be influential in computational geometry and in…
We present several new families of Rogers-Ramanujan type identities related to the moduli 18 and 24. A few of the identities were found by either Ramanujan, Slater, or Dyson, but most are believed to be new. For one of these families, we…
We define an overpartition analogue of Gaussian polynomials (also known as $q$-binomial coefficients) as a generating function for the number of overpartitions fitting inside the $M \times N$ rectangle. We call these new polynomials over…
