We revisit Smullyan's paper ``Truth and Provability'' (2013) for three purposes. First, we introduce the notion of Smullyan models to give a precise definition for Smullyan's framework discussed in that paper. Second, we clarify the…
Using Lie theory, Stefano Capparelli conjectured an interesting Rogers-Ramanujan type partition identity in his 1988 Rutgers Ph.D. thesis. The first proof was given by George Andrews, using combinatorial methods. Later, Capparelli was able…
This is an introduction to rings and fields, written for a quarter-long undergraduate course. It includes the basic properties of ideals, modules, algebras and polynomials, the constructions of ring extensions and finite fields, some…
The Bayesian statistical paradigm uses the language of probability to express uncertainty about the phenomena that generate observed data. Probability distributions thus characterize Bayesian analysis, with the rules of probability used to…
One of the celebrated formulas of Ramanujan is about odd zeta values, which has been studied by many mathematicians over the years. A notable extension was given by Grosswald in 1972. Following Ramanujan's idea, we rediscovered a…
These are lecture notes that arose from a representation theory course given by the first author to the remaining six authors in March 2004 within the framework of the Clay Mathematics Institute Research Academy for high school students,…
The notion of two-numbers of connected Riemannian manifolds was introduced about 35 years ago in [Un invariant geometrique riemannien, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Math. 295 (1982), 389--391] by B.-Y. Chen and T. Nagano. Later, two-numbers have…
This is a survey paper on several aspects of differential geometry for the last 30 years, especially in those areas related to non-linear analysis. It grew from a talk I gave on the occasion of seventieth anniversary of Chinese Mathematical…
In the recent paper the interesting q-Euler numbers and polynomials introduced in JMAA. The purpose of this paper is to construct the modified q-Euler numbers and polynomiasl. Finally we will give the interesting many identities related to…
An opinion piece by Abigail Thompson in the Notices of the American Mathematical Society has engendered a lot of discussion, including three open letters with over 1400 signatures. We analyze the professional profiles of signatories of…
For any rational number $p_0\ge 1$ we prove an identity of Rogers-Ramanujan-Gordon-Andrews' type. Bijection between the space of states for XXZ model and that of XXX model is constructed.
This is a revised version of the preprint which has been available electronically for a while. The paper will now appear in J. Ramanujan Math. Soc.
In his lost notebook, Ramanujan listed 5 identities related to the false theta function $$f(q)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^nq^{n(n+1)/2}.$$ A new combinatorial interpretation and proof of one of these identities is given. The methods of the…
We will prove an identity involving refined $q$-trinomial coefficients. We then extend this identity to two infinite families of doubly bounded polynomial identities using transformation properties of the refined $q$-trinomials in an…
Some integrals of the Glaisher-Ramanujan type are established in a more general form than in previous studies. As an application we prove some Ramanujan-type series identities, as well as a new formula for the Dirichlet beta function at the…
In Jurek 1985 and 1988 the random integral representations conjecture was stated. It claims that (some) limit laws can be written as probability distributions of random integrals of the form $\int_{(a,b]}h(t)dY_{\nu}(r(t))$, for some…
I developed the lecture notes based on my ``Linear Model'' course at the University of California, Berkeley over the past ten years. This book provides an intermediate-level introduction to the linear model. It balances rigorous proofs and…
We deduce new q-series identities by applying inverse relations to certain identities for basic hypergeometric series. The identities obtained themselves do not belong to the hierarchy of basic hypergeometric series. We extend two of our…
This is an unchanged version of an unpublished, ``state of the art'' survey given at a conference held in Stuttgart in 2001 to celebrate the 100th birthday of Richard Brauer. This text was recently quoted in several papers on the…
In this note we show how to rederive the $A_2$ Rogers-Ramanujan identities proven by Andrews, Schilling and Warnaar using cylindric partitions. This paper is dedicated to George Andrews for his $80^{th}$ birthday.
