It is known that all modular forms on $SL_2(Z)$ can be expressed as a rational function in $\eta(z)$, $\eta(2z)$ and $\eta(4z)$. By using a theorem by Gordon, Hughes, and Newman, and calculating the order of vanishing, we can compute the…

In the spirit of Lehmer's speculation that Ramanujan's tau-function never vanishes, it is natural to ask whether any given integer $\alpha$ is a value of $\tau(n)$. For odd $\alpha$, Murty, Murty, and Shorey proved that $\tau(n)\neq \alpha$…

This paper explores the properties of multipliers associated with discrete analogues of fractional integrals, revealing intriguing connections with Dirichlet characters, Euler's identity, and Dedekind zeta functions of quadratic imaginary…

Previous research on exceptional units has primarily focused on the ring of rational integers or abstract finite rings, often restricted to linear or quadratic constraints. In this paper, we extend the concept of polynomial-type exceptional…

We model the field $F_1$ of one element as a lambda ring $\bf Z$ with the canonical lambda structure. We show that then we can calculate the Riemann zeta function of integers in two ways: the first, geometrical, as a zeta function of the…

In this paper we construct a modular form f of weight one attached to an imaginary quadratic field K. This form, which is non-holomorphic and not a cusp form, has several curious properties. Its negative Fourier coefficients are non-zero…

Let $\xi, \zeta$ be quadratic real numbers in distinct quadratic fields. We establish the existence of effectively computable, positive real numbers $\tau$ and $c$, such that, for every integer $q$ with $q > c$ we have $$ \max\{\|q \xi \|,…

Given a local ring $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ and an ideal $\mathfrak{a}$ of positive height, we give a way of computing multiplier module ${J}(\omega_{{T}}, t^{-\lambda})$ for the extended Rees algebra ${T} =R[\mathfrak{a} t, t^{-1}]$ for an…

We show that the generating series of Euler characteristics of Hilbert schemes of points on any algebraic surface with at worst $A_n$-type singularities is described by the theta series determined by integer valued positive definite…

In this Ph.D. dissertation (2018, Emory University) we prove theorems at the intersection of the additive and multiplicative branches of number theory, bringing together ideas from partition theory, $q$-series, algebra, modular forms and…

We study the ring of all functions from the positive integers to some field. This ring, which we call \emph{the ring of number-theoretic functions}, is an inverse limit of the ``truncations'' \Gamma_n consisting of all functions f for which…

We show by adopting Schertz's argument with the Siegel-Ramachandra invariant that singular values of certain quotients of the $\Delta$-function generate ring class fields over imaginary quadratic fields.

Let $D$ be a commutative domain with field of fractions $K$, let $A$ be a torsion-free $D$-algebra, and let $B$ be the extension of $A$ to a $K$-algebra. The set of integer-valued polynomials on $A$ is ${\rm Int}(A) = \{f \in B[X] \mid f(A)…

Let $K/k$ be a finite Galois extension and $\pi = \fn{Gal}(K/k)$. An algebraic torus $T$ defined over $k$ is called a $\pi$-torus if $T\times_{\fn{Spec}(k)} \fn{Spec}(K)\simeq \bm{G}_{m,K}^n$ for some integer $n$. The set of all algebraic…

Let $\ell>3$ be a prime such that $\ell \equiv 3 \pmod{4}$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{\ell})$ has class number 1. Then Hirzebruch and Zagier noticed that the class number of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-\ell})$ can be expressed as $h(-\ell) =…

We investigate integrality and divisibility properties of Fourier coefficients of meromorphic modular forms of weight $2k$ associated to positive definite integral binary quadratic forms. For example, we show that if there are no…

We compute the special values at nonpositive integers of the partial zeta function of an ideal of a real quadratic field applying an asymptotic version of Euler-Maclaurin formula to the lattice cone associated to the ideal considered. The…

For $x>0$ let $\pi(x)$ denote the number of primes not exceeding $x$. For integers $a$ and $m>0$, we determine when there is an integer $n>1$ with $\pi(n)=(n+a)/m$. In particular, we show that for any integers $m>2$ and $a\le\lceil…

For a cellular algebra $\A$ with a cellular basis $\ZC$, we consider a decomposition of the unit element $1_\A$ into orthogonal idempotents (not necessary primitive) satisfying some conditions. By using this decomposition, the cellular…
