In this paper we mainly employ the Zeilberger algorithm to study congruences for sums of terms involving products of three binomial coefficients. Let $p>3$ be a prime. We prove that…
Compounding submodular monotone (i.e. 2-alternating) set functions on a finite set preserves this property, as shown in 2010. A natural generalization to k-alternating functions was presented in 2018, however hardly readable because of page…
Given $g\ge 1$, the number $n(g)$ of numerical semigroups $S \subset \N$ of genus $|\N \setminus S|$ equal to $g$ is the subject of challenging conjectures of Bras-Amor\'os. In this paper, we focus on the counting function $n(g,2)$ of…
We prove new bounds for the Fourier coefficients of Jacobi forms using a method of Iwaniec. In view of the Fourier-Jacobi expansion of degree two Siegel modular forms, we can use these to obtain strong bounds on fundamental Fourier…
We discuss the properties of the Hankel transformation of a sequence whose elements are the sums of consecutive generalized Catalan numbers and find their values in the closed form.
We give an improved upper bound for the Gr\"unbaum--Hadwiger--Ramos problem: Let $d,n,k \in \mathbb{N}$ such that $d \geq 2^n(1+2^{k-1})$. Given $2^{n+1}$ masses on $\mathbb{R}^d$, there exist $k$ hyperplanes in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that…
The study of arithmetic properties of coefficients of modular forms $f(\tau) = \sum a(n)q^n$ has a rich history, including deep results regarding congruences in arithmetic progressions. Recently, work of C.-S. Radu, S. Ahlgren, B. Kim, N.…
In this paper, a formula for the calculation of the number of right cosets contained in a double coset with respect to a unimodular group over a Dedekind domain is developed, and applications of this formula in the theory of congruence…
In this paper, we study traces of Hecke operators on Drinfeld modular forms of level 1 in the case $A = \mathbb{F}_q[T]$. We deduce closed-form expressions for traces of Hecke operators corresponding to primes of degree at most 2 and…
In the study of the arithmetic structure of elliptic modular groups which are the fundamental groups of compactified modular curves, these truncated group algebras and their direct sums are considered to construct elliptic modular motives.…
Lin introduced the partition function $\text{PDO}_t(n)$, which counts the total number of tagged parts over all the partitions of $n$ with designated summands in which all parts are odd. For $k\geq0$, Lin conjectured congruences for…
We derive properties of powers of a function satisfying a second-order linear differential equation. In particular we prove that the n-th power of the function satisfies an (n+1)-th order differential equation and give a simple method for…
Let $p$ be an odd prime. In the paper we collect the author's various conjectures on congruences modulo $p$ or $p^2$, which are concerned with sums of binomial coefficients, Lucas sequences, power residues and special binary quadratic…
In this note, we provide a bijection between a new collection of words on nonnegative integers of length n and Dyck paths of length 2n-2, thus proving that this collection belongs to the Catalan family. The surprising key step in this…
We describe a general method to obtain weak subconvexity bounds for many classes of $L$-functions. This has applications to a conjecture of Rudnick and Sarnak for the mass equidistribution of Hecke eigenforms (see arxiv.org:math/0809.1636).
Let $\overline{p}_{k}(n)$ denote the number of overpartition $k$-tuples of $n$. In 2023, Saikia \cite{saikia} conjectured the following congruences: \begin{align*} \overline{p}_{q}(8n+2)& \equiv 0 \pmod{4},\quad \overline{p}_{q}(8n+3)\equiv…
We present a method to compute two Hecke operators acting on a space of algebraic modular forms simultaneously based on an idea of Eichler's. We show that in certain cases this method can be used to obtain the action of the full Hecke…
The enumeration $d_k(n)$ of $k$-elongated plane partition diamonds has emerged as a generalization of the classical integer partition function $p(n)$. Congruences for $d_k(n)$ modulo certain powers of primes have been proven via elementary…
We prove that the symmetric-cube coefficients $A_n=(-27)^n[z^n]\,_2F_1(1/3,1/3;1;z)^3$ satisfy the supercongruence $A(mp)\equiv A(m) \bmod p^4$ for every prime $p\geq 5$ and every $m\geq 1$. The proof rests on three ingredients: (i) the…
We study polynomials interpolating the (rational) constant terms of certain meromorphic modular forms for Hecke groups. We make observations about the divisibility properties of the constant terms and connect them to several sequences, for…
