Rational twisted power series over a (commutative) field are studied. We give several characterizations of such series, which are similar to the classical results concerning rational power series over a commutative field. In particular, we…
Consider exponential Carmichael function $\lambda^{(e)}$ such that $\lambda^{(e)}$ is multiplicative and $\lambda^{(e)}(p^a) = \lambda(a)$, where $\lambda$ is usual Carmichael function. We discuss the value of $\sum \lambda^{(e)}(n)$, where…
We provide the twisted Alexander polynomials of finite abelian covers over three-dimensional manifolds whose boundary is a finite union of tori. This is a generalization of a well-known formula for the usual Alexander polynomial of knots in…
The Alexander polynomial of a knot has been generalized in three different ways to give twisted invariants. The resulting invariants are usually referred to as twisted Alexander polynomials, higher-order Alexander polynomials and…
We obtain new bounds of exponential sums modulo a prime $p$ with sparse polynomials $a_0x^{n_0} + \cdots + a_{\nu}x^{n_\nu}$. The bounds depend on various greatest common divisors of exponents $n_0, \ldots, n_\nu$ and their differences. In…
After the introduction of $\lambda$-symmetries by Muriel and Romero, several other types of so called "twisted symmetries" have been considered in the literature (their name refers to the fact they are defined through a deformation of the…
In this article we prove an algebraic identity which significantly generalizes the formula for sum of powers of consecutive integers involving Stirling numbers of the second kind. Also we have obtained a generalization of Newton-Girard…
In this brief note, we consider p-adic unit roots or poles of L-functions of exponential sums defined over finite fields. In particular, we look at the number of unit roots or poles, and a congruence relation on the units. This raises a…
Twisted torus knots are a generalization of torus knots, obtained by introducing additional full twists to adjacent strands of the torus knots. In this article, we present an explicit formula for the Alexander polynomial of twisted torus…
In the paper we introduce the notion of twisted derivation of a bialgebra. Twisted derivations appear as infinitesimal symmetries of the category of representations. More precisely they are infinitesimal versions of twisted automorphisms of…
We examine exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n \le X} w(n) e^{2\pi i\alpha n^k}$, for $k=1,2$, where $\alpha$ satisfies a generalized Diophantine approximation and where $w$ are different arithmetic functions that might be multiplicative,…
This contribution studies a specific deformation of algebras with anti-involution. Starting with the observation that twisting the multiplication of such an algebra by its anti-involution generates a Hom-associative algebra of type II, it…
We define tensors, corresponding to cubic polynomials, which have the same exponent $\omega$ as the matrix multiplication tensor. In particular, we study the symmetrized matrix multiplication tensor $sM_n$ defined on an $n\times n$ matrix…
Wan proved the rationality of partial toric $L$-functions using $\ell$-adic techniques. In this paper, we present a $p$-adic proof in the spirit of Dwork. We demonstrate that partial $L$-functions can be expressed as an alternating product…
Modular operads relevant to string theory can be equipped with an additional structure, coming from the connected sum of surfaces. Motivated by this example, we introduce a notion of connected sum for general modular operads. We show that a…
In this article, we consider the estimation of exponential sums along the points of the reduction mod $p^{m}$ of a $p$-adic analytic submanifold of $ \mathbb{Z}_{p}^{n}$. More precisely, we extend Igusa's stationary phase method to this…
Using $n$ finite order automorphisms on a simple complex Lie algebra we construct twisted $n$-toroidal Lie algebras. Thus obtaining Lie algebras wich have a rootspace decomposition. For the case $n=2$ we list certain simple Lie algebras and…
Given a prime $p$ and an integer $d>1$, we give a numerical criterion to decide whether the $\ell$-adic sheaf associated to the one-parameter exponential sums $t\mapsto \sum_x\psi(x^d+tx)$ over ${\mathbb F}_p$ has finite monodromy or not,…
We introduce a general class $F_0$ of additive functions $f$ such that $f(p) = 1$ and prove a tight bound for exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n \le x} f(n) e(\alpha n)$ where $f \in F_0$ and $e(\theta) = \exp(2\pi i \theta)$. Both…
We derive various weighted summation identities, including binomial and double binomial identities, for Tribonacci numbers. Our results contain some previously known results as special cases.
