We study arithmetic progressions in primes with common differences as small as possible. Tao and Ziegler showed that, for any $k \geq 3$ and $N$ large, there exist non-trivial $k$-term arithmetic progressions in (any positive density subset…

Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve, $p$ an odd prime and $K_{\infty}/K$ the anticyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of a quadratic imaginary field $K$. In a previous article the author conjectured that the fine $p^{\infty}$-Selmer…

After a brief introduction to Ramanujan's method of summation, we give an expansion of the Riemann Zeta function in the critical strip as a convergent series $\sum_{m\geq 0}x_m P_m(s) $ where the functions $P_m$ are polynomials with their…

Lehmer defined a measure $$ \mu=\sum\limits_{j=1}^J\frac{1}{\log_{10}\left(\left|\beta_j\right|\right)}, $$ where the $\beta_j$ may be either integers or rational numbers in a Machin-like formula for $\pi$. When the $\beta_j$ are integers,…

This paper studies algebraic and analytic structures associated with the Lerch zeta function. It defines a family of two-variable Hecke operators $\{ T_m: \, m \ge 1\}$ given by $T_m(f)(a, c) = \frac{1}{m} \sum_{k=0}^{m-1} f(\frac{a+k}{m},…

We introduce and analyze a three-parameter family of self-referential integer sequences $S(x,y,z)$: starting from $a(1)=x$, each term advances by $y$ when the index $k$ has already appeared as a value and by $z$ otherwise. This simple rule…

For a word $\pi$ and integer $i$, we define $L^i(\pi)$ to be the length of the longest subsequence of the form $i(i+1)\cdots j$, and we let $L(\pi):=\max_i L^i(\pi)$. In this paper we estimate the expected values of $L^1(\pi)$ and $L(\pi)$…

Let $p \in (0, \infty)$ be a constant and let $\{\xi_n\} \subset L^p(\Omega, {\mathcal F}, \P)$ be a sequence of random variables. For any integers $m, n \ge 0$, denote $S_{m, n} = \sum_{k=m}^{m + n} \xi_k$. It is proved that, if there…

The sum $c_0(1/k)=-\sum_{m=1}^{k-1}(m/k)\cot(m{\pi}/k)$ is related to the Estermann zeta function. A recent paper computes the first two terms of the large-$k$ asymptotic expansion of $c_0(1/k)$. Using the Poisson summation formula for…

For every $p > (1 + \sqrt{5})/2$ we construct a uniformly discrete real sequence $\{\lambda_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ satisfying $|\lambda_n| = n + o(1)$, a function $g \in L^p(\mathbb{R})$, and continuous linear functionals…

It is well-known that for a quickly increasing sequence $(n_k)_{k \geq 1}$ the functions $(\cos 2 \pi n_k x)_{k \geq 1}$ show a behavior which is typical for sequences of independent random variables. If the growth condition on $(n_k)_{k…

By some extremely simple arguments, we point out the following: (i) If n is the least positive k-th power non-residue modulo a positive integer m, then the greatest number of consecutive k-th power residues mod m is smaller than m/n. (ii)…

Using basic tools of mathematical analysis and elementary probability theory we address several problems on the irrationality of series of distinct unit fractions, $\sum_k 1/a_k$. In particular, we study subseries of the Lambert series…

We present some simple proofs of the well-known expressions for \[ \zeta(2k) = \sum_{m=1}^\infty \frac{1}{m^{2k}}, \qquad \beta(2k+1) = \sum_{m=0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^m}{(2m+1)^{2k+1}}, \] where $k = 1,2,3,\dots$, in terms of the Bernoulli…

For integers $m \geq 2$, we study divergent continued fractions whose numerators and denominators in each of the $m$ arithmetic progressions modulo $m$ converge. Special cases give, among other things, an infinite sequence of divergence…

We consider a family of inverse limits of inverse sequences of closed unit intervals with a single upper semi-continuous set-valued bonding function whose graph is an arc; it is the union of two line segments in $[0,1]^2$, both of them…

We determine a lower gap property for the growth of an unbounded \(\mathbb{Z}\)-valued \(k\)-regular sequence. In particular, if \(f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{Z}\) is an unbounded \(k\)-regular sequence, we show that there is a constant \(c>0\)…
