About four centuries ago, Johann Faulhaber developed formulas for the power sum $1^n + 2^n + \cdots + m^n$ in terms of $m(m+1)/2$. The resulting polynomials are called the Faulhaber polynomials. We first give a short survey of Faulhaber's…
Refinements of some recent reverse inequalities for the celebrated Cauchy-Bunyakovsky-Schwarz inequality in 2-inner product spaces are given. Using this framework, applications for determinantal integral inequalities are also provided.
Using the log-convexity of the Gamma function and Euler's reflection formula, we give a new proof of a classical weighted sine product inequality. Two different parameter choices yield two competing upper bounds for the same product. We…
Ramanujan's notebooks contain many elegant identities and one of the celebrated identities is a formula for $\zeta(2k+1)$. In 1972, Grosswald gave an extension of the Ramanujan's formula for $\zeta(2k+1)$, which contains a polynomial of…
Srinivasa Ramanujan provided series expansions of certain arithmetical functions in terms of the exponential sums defined by $c_r(n) = \sum\limits_{\substack{{m=1}\\ (m,r)=1}}^{r} e^{\frac{2 \pi imn}{r}}$ in [Trans. Cambridge Phillos. Soc,…
Let $\alpha(n)$ denote the number of perfect square permutations in the symmetric group $S_n$. The conjecture $\alpha(2n+1) = (2n+1) \alpha(2n)$, provided by Stanley[4], was proved by Blum[1] using a generating function. This paper presents…
We obtain explicit formulas for the product of a deformed Weyl denominator with the character of an irreducible representation of the spin group $\rm{Spin}_{2r+1}({\mathbb C})$, which is an analogue of the formulas of Tokuyama for Schur…
This talk presents the review of forgotten but attractive formalism proposed by Joos and Weinberg in the sixties for description of high-spin particles. Problems raised in the recent works [Ahluwalia {\it et al.}] are discussed. New results…
Starting from the parametric representation of a Feynman diagram, we obtain it's well defined value in dimensional regularisation by changing the integrals over parameters into contour integrals. That way we eventually arrive at a…
Closed form expressions are proposed for the Feynman integral $$ I_{D, m}(p,q) = \int\frac{d^my}{(2\pi)^m}\int\frac{d^Dx}{(2\pi)^D} \frac1{(x-p/2)^2+(y-q/2)^4} \frac1{(x+p/2)^2+(y+q/2)^4} $$ over $d=D+m$ dimensional space with…
Let $u_{2j}$ be the product of the odd positive integers $< 2j$. For $n$ an integer $\ge 1$, define \[ f(x)=\sum_{j=0}^{n}a_j\frac{x^{2j}}{u_{2j+2}}, \] where the $a_j$'s are arbitrary integers with $|a_0|=1$. In 1929, I. Schur established…
Recently the Fibonacci word $W$ on an infinite alphabet was introduced by [Zhang et al., Electronic J. Combinatorics 24-2 (2017) #P2.52] as a fixed point of the morphism $\phi: (2i) \mapsto (2i)(2i+ 1),\ (2i+ 1) \mapsto (2i+ 2)$ over all $i…
We establish closed-form expressions for the infinite series sum from n=2 to infinity of arctanh(n^-k) for all integers k >= 2 by connecting these sums to infinite product formulas involving the gamma function. Our approach uses logarithmic…
By the Pieri rule, the tensor product of an exterior power and a finite-dimensional irreducible representation of a general linear group has a multiplicity-free decomposition. The embeddings of the constituents are called Pieri inclusions…
Ramanujan gave a recurrence relation for the partition function in terms of the sum of the divisor function $\sigma(n)$. In 1885, J.W. Glaisher considered seven divisor sums closely related to the sum of the divisors function. We develop a…
Using the Feynman path integral representation of quantum mechanics it is possible to derive a model of an electron in a random system containing dense and weakly-coupled scatterers, see [Proc. Phys. Soc. 83, 495-496 (1964)]. The main goal…
The first paper of this series introduced objects (elements of twisted relative cohomology) that are Poincar\'e dual to Feynman integrals. We show how to use the pairing between these spaces -- an algebraic invariant called the intersection…
The power sum $1^n + 2^n + \cdots + x^n$ has been of interest to mathematicians since classical times. Johann Faulhaber, Jacob Bernoulli, and others who followed expressed power sums as polynomials in $x$ of degree $n+1$ with rational…
E158 in the Enestrom index. Translation of the Latin original "Observationes analyticae variae de combinationibus" (1741). This paper introduces the problem of partitions, or partitio numerorum (the partition of integers). In the first part…
By using the generalized Bernoulli numbers, we deduce new integral representations for the Riemann zeta function at positive odd-integer arguments. The explicit expressions enable us to obtain criteria for the dimension of the vector space…
