In this note we consider functions with Moebius-periodic rational coefficients. These functions under some conditions take algebraic values and can be recovered by theta functions and the Dedekind eta function. Special cases are the…

We say a power series $a_0+a_1q+a_2q^2+\cdots$ is \emph{multiplicative} if $n\mapsto a_n/a_1$ for positive integers $n$ is a multiplicative function. Given the Eisenstein series $E_{2k}(q)$, we consider formal multiplicative power series…

We define "values" of the elliptic modular j-function at real quadratic irrationalities by using Hecke's hyperbolic Fourier expansions, and present some observations based on numerical experiments.

In the paper, from the point of view of recurrent numbers of the Jacobsthal type, the Collatz problem with the general aq+-1 function of conjecture odd positive integers q from the set of natural numbers is investigated. Formulated…

The aim of this paper is to pursue the investigation of the phase retrieval problem for the fractional Fourier transform $\ff\_\alpha$ started by the second author. We here extend a method of A.E.J.M Janssen to show that there is a…

The main point of this paper is to prove the following useful result: If the almost everywhere 2-jet of a locally quasi-convex function u satisfies a degenerate elliptic constraint F, then u is F-subharmonic, i.e., u is a viscosity…

The study of the Mittag-Leffler function and its various generalizations has become a very popular topic in mathematics and its applications. In the present paper we prove the following estimate for the $q$-Mittag-Leffler function:…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements and $char(\mathbb{F}_q)$ odd. In this article we will describe completely the dynamics of the map $f(X)=c(X^{q+1}+aX^2)$, for $a=\{\pm1\}$ and $c\in\mathbb{F}_q^*$, over the finite…

Let $k \ge 2$ be a fixed integer. We define the multiplicative function $D_k(n) = d_k(n)/d_k^*(n)$, such that $d_k(n)$ is the Piltz divisor function and $d_k^*(n) = k^{\omega(n)}$ is its unitary analogue, where $\omega(n)$ is the number of…

We extend the notion of polynomial integration over an arbitrary circle $C$ in the Euclidean geometry over general fields $\mathbb F$ of characteristic zero as a normalized $\mathbb F$-linear functional on $\mathbb{F}\left[\alpha_1,…

This is an expanded version. We study relations among special values of zeta functions, invariants of toric varieties, and generalized Dedekind sums. In particular, we use invariants arising in the Todd class of a toric variety to give a…

For each positive integer k, we investigate the L-function attached to the k-th symmetric power of the F-crystal associated to the family of cubic exponential sums of x^3 + \lambda x. We explore its rationality, field of definition, degree,…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of order $q$. For $q$ odd, we investigate the planarity over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ of the family $$ f_{E,A,B,C,D}(X) := EX^2+ AX^{q+1}+ BX^{q^2+1}+CX^{2q} +DX^{2q^2}\in \mathbb{F}_{q}[X]. $$ Using…

We characterise functions for the dual spaces of entire functions f such that fe^{-\phi}\in L^p(\C^n,\rho^{-2}dA), 0<p\leq 1, where \phi is a subharmonic weight and \rho^{-2} is a positive function called under certain conditions…

To decide upon the arithmetic nature of some numbers may be a non-trivial problem. Some cases are well know, for example exp(1) and W(1), where W is the Lambert function, are transcendental numbers. The Tsallis q-exponential, e_q (z), and…

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic number field and let $L(s,\xi_{\ell})$ denote the Hecke $L$-function to an angular character $\xi_{\ell}$ with frequency $\ell$. We detect values of $\log |L(\tfrac12,\xi_{\ell})|$ with size at least…

We describe a system of plane algebraic curves defined over \Z, attached naturally to the exponential function. On of these is a remarkable curve of degree 6 that has genus equal to 1. As the sectic curve has rational points, it is an…

For the quantum integer $[n]_q = 1+q+...+q^{n-1}$ there is a natural polynomial multiplication $*_q$ such that $[m]_q *_q [n]_q = [mn]_q$. This multiplication leads to the functional equation $f_{mn}(q) = f_m(q)f_n(q^m),$ defined on a given…
