Let $\theta $ be a Salem number and $P(x)$ a polynomial with integer coefficients. It is well-known that the sequence $(\theta^n)$ modulo 1 is dense but not uniformly distributed. In this article we discuss the sequence $(P(\theta^n))$…

Let $(x_n)$ be a positive real sequence decreasing to $0$ such that the series $\sum_n x_n$ is divergent and $\liminf_{n} x_{n+1}/x_n>1/2$. We show that there exists a constant $\theta \in (0,1)$ such that, for each $\ell>0$, there is a…

We investigate the representation theory of the Temperley-Lieb algebra, $TL_n(\delta)$, defined over a field of positive characteristic. The principle question we seek to answer is the multiplicity of simple modules in cell modules for…

For a fixed positive integer $m$ and any partition $m = m_1 + m_2 + \cdots + m_e$ , there exists a sequence $\{n_{i}\}_{i=1}^{k}$ of positive integers such that $$m=\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}}+\cdots+\frac{1}{n_{k}},$$ with the property…

We show that the generating series of traces of reciprocal singular moduli is a mixed mock modular form of weight $3/2$ whose shadow is given by a linear combination of products of unary and binary theta functions. To prove these results,…

It is known that the sum of the reciprocal of integers, $\sum_n (1/n)$, and the sum of the reciprocal of primes, $\sum_n (1/p_n)$, both diverge. Here, we study a series made from primes that sums exactly to 1. We also show this sum is…

We obtain a nontrivial upper bound for almost all elements of the sequences of real numbers which are multiplicative and at the prime indices are distributed according to the Sato--Tate density. Examples of such sequences come from…

We show that the reciprocal of a partial sum with 2m terms of the alternating exponential series is the exponential generating function for permutations in which every increasing run has length congruent to 0 or 1 modulo 2m. More generally…

We consider sets of positive integers containing no sum of two elements in the set and also no product of two elements. We show that the upper density of such a set is strictly smaller than 1/2 and that this is best possible. Further, we…

After defining a notion of $\epsilon$-density, we provide for any real algebraic number $\alpha$ an estimate of the smallest $\epsilon$ such that for each $m>1$ the set of vectors of the form $(t,t\alpha,...,t\alpha^{m-1})$ for $t\in\R$ is…

In this paper, we prove some zero density theorems for certain families of Dirichlet $L$-functions. More specifically, the subjects of our interest are the collections of Dirichlet $L$-functions associated with characters to moduli from…

In this paper, we prove the following result: {quote} Let $\A$ be an infinite set of positive integers. For all positive integer $n$, let $\tau_n$ denote the smallest element of $\A$ which does not divide $n$. Then we have $$\lim_{N \to +…

We consider properties of binomial series $\sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n z^{\underline{n}}$, where $z^{\underline{n}}=z(z-1)\cdots(z-n+1)$ and the convergence of binomial series in the complex domain. The order of growth of entire and meromorphic…

Let $n,d$, and $k$ be positive integers where $n$ and $d$ are coprime. Our two main results are Theorem 1. There is a partition of the infinite interval $[kd,\infty)$ of positive integers into a family of finite sets $X$ for which the sum…
