We obtain upper bounds on the number of solutions to congruences of the type $$ (x_1+s)...(x_{\nu}+s)\equiv (y_1+s)...(y_{\nu}+s)\not\equiv0 \pmod p $$ modulo a prime $p$ with variables from some short intervals. We give some applications…
In 2015 Choi, Kim, and Lovejoy studied a weighted partition function, $A_1(m)$, which counted subpartitions with a structure related to the Rogers--Ramanujan identities. They conjectured the existence of an infinite class of congruences for…
From two q-summation formulas we deduce certain series expansion formulas involving the q-gamma function. With these formulas we can give q-analogues of series expansions for certain constants.
Recently, Garthwaite-Penniston have shown that the coefficients of Ramanujan's mock theta function $\omega$ satisfy infinitely many congruences of Ramanujan-type. In this work we give the first explicit examples of congruences for…
We establish supercongruences for two kinds of Ap\'ery-like numbers, which involve Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials. Conjectural supercongruences of the same type for another four kinds of Ap\'ery-like numbers are also proposed.
We prove the equality of several $\tau$-recurrent sequences, which were first considered by Pellarin, and which have close connections to Drinfeld vectorial modular forms. Our result has several consequences: an $A$-expansion for the…
We present and discuss an algorithm and its implementation that is capable of directly determining Fourier expansions of any vector-valued modular form of weight at least $2$ associated with representations whose kernel is a congruence…
We establish infinite families of congruences modulo arbitrary powers of $2$ for the three restricted partition functions $M(n), T^\ast(n)$, and $P^\ast(n)$ introduced by Pushpa and Vasuki by employing elementary $q$-series techniques.…
Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer congruences are special congruence recursions satisfied by coefficients of noncongruence modular forms. These are in some sense $p$-adic analogues of Hecke recursion satisfied by classic Hecke eigenforms. They…
We give a short and "soft" proof of the asymptotic orthogonality of Fourier coefficients of Poincar\'e series for classical modular forms as well as for Siegel cusp forms, in a qualitative form.
We show that Wilson's theorem as well as the Wilson quotient can be described by supercongruences modulo any higher prime power involving terms of power sums of Fermat quotients. The new approach uses Bell polynomials and Newton's…
In the 1970's, Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer conjectured that Fourier coefficients of holomorphic modular cusp forms on noncongruence subgroups of $\text{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ satisfy certain $p$-adic recurrence relations which are analogous to…
The main result of this paper is an instance of the conjecture made by Gouvea and Mazur (Math. Res. Lett., 1995) which asserts that for certain values of r the space of r-overconvergent p-adic modular forms of tame level N and weight k…
Let $p_r(n)$ denote the number of $r$-component multipartitions of $n$, and let $S_{\gamma,\lambda}$ be the space spanned by $\eta(24z)^\gamma \phi(24z)$, where $\eta(z)$ is the Dedekind's eta function and $\phi(z)$ is a holomorphic modular…
Two $q$-supercongruences of truncated basic hypergeometric series containing two free parameters are established by employing specific identities for basic hypergeometric series. The results partly extend two $q$-supercongruences that were…
Recently, R. Tauraso established finite $p$-analogues of famous Ap\'ery series for $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3).$ In this paper, we present several congruences for finite central binomial sums arising from the truncation of Ap\'ery-type series…
An integer sequence that is defined by initial values and a linear recurrence with constant integer coefficients, can be represented by the difference of two arithmetic terms containing exponentiation. All constants occuring in the term are…
The following congruence for power sums, $S_n(p)$, is well known and has many applications: $1^n+2^n +\dots +p^n \equiv\begin{cases} -1 \text{ mod } p, & \text{ if } \ p-1 \ | \ n; 0 \text{ mod } p, & \text{ if } \ p-1 \ \not| \ n,…
Using Hecke characters, we construct two infinite families of newforms with complex multiplication, one by $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3})$ and the other by $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-2})$. The values of the $p$-th Fourier coefficients of all the forms in…
We attempt to generalize a congruence property of elliptic modular forms proved by Sturm to that of Haupttypus of Siegel modular forms of degree 2 with level. Namely, we give an explicit bound of Fourier coefficients required to determine…
