Consider the linear congruence equation $x_1+\ldots+x_k \equiv b\,(\text{mod } n)$ for $b,n\in\mathbb{Z}$. By $(a,b)_s$, we mean the largest $l^s\in\mathbb{N}$ which divides $a$ and $b$ simultaneously. For each $d_j|n$, define…

Symmetry analysis of Ramanujan's system of differential equations is performed by representing it as a third-order equation. A new system consisting of a second-order and a first-order equation is derived from Ramanujan's system. The Lie…

Let $\mathbb{A}=\mathbb{F}_{q}[T]$ be the polynomial ring over finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$, and $\mathbb{A}_{+}$ be the set of monic polynomials in $\mathbb{A}$. In this paper, we show that a large class of arithmetic functions in…

We develop a new method to solve the irreducible character problem for a wide class of modules over the general linear superalgebra, including all the finite-dimensional modules, by directly relating the problem to the classical…

A supercongruence is a congruence between rational numbers modulo a power of a prime. In this paper, we give a technique for finding and algorithmically proving supercongruences by expressing terms as infinite series involving certain…

We state and prove a number of unilateral and bilateral $q$-series identities and explore some of their consequences. Those include certain generalizations of the $q$-binomial sum which also generalize the $q$-Airy function introduced by…

Chan and Kumchev studied averages of the first and second moments of Ramanujan sums. In this article, we extend this investigation by estimating the higher moments of averages of Ramanujan sums using the Br\`eteche Tauberian theorem. We…

In 2021, Navarro and Tiep proposed a conjecture on character fields of finite quasi-simple groups. We develop some theory on sums of roots of unity and use this theory to prove the conjecture for some infinite families of finite…

A few elementary estimates of a basic character sum over the prime numbers are derived here. These estimates are nontrivial for character sums modulo large q. In addition, an omega result for character sums over the primes is also included.

A new general and unified method of summation, which is both regular and consistent, is invented. It is based on the idea concerning a way of integers reordering. The resulting theory includes a number of explicit and closed form summation…

This paper brings the main definitions and results from "The Ramanujan Property for Simplicial Complexes" [arXiv:1605.02664]. No proofs are given. Given a simplicial complex $\mathcal{X}$ and a group $G$ acting on $\mathcal{X}$, we define…

We perform certain alternating binomial summations with parameters that occur in the analysis of algorithms. A combination of integral and special function and special number representations is used. The results are sufficiently general to…

This paper is a tribute to the genius of the legendary Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan (22 December 1887 - 26 April 1920) in the centenary year of his death. The life story of Ramanujan is so well known that it needs no elaboration…

We give a combinatorial proof of the first Rogers-Ramanujan identity by using two symmetries of a new generalization of Dyson's rank. These symmetries are established by direct bijections.

According to McKay (1980) the irreducible characters of finite subgroups of SU(2) are in a natural 1-1 correspondence with the extended Coxeter-Dynkin graphs of type ADE. We show that the character values themselves can be given by an…

We state and prove a claim of Ramanujan. As a consequence, a large class of Saalchutzian hypergeometric series is summed in closed form.

We study an elementary series that can be considered a relative of a series studied by Ramanujan in Part 1 of his Lost Notebooks. We derive a closed form for this series in terms of the inverse hyperbolic arctangent and the polylogarithm.…

An identity by Ramanujan is expressed using polar coordinates, so that its proof reduces to the verification of an elementary trigonometric identity. This approach produces a few variations on Ramanujan's original identity.

One of the main features of eigenvalue matrix models is that the averages of characters are again characters, what can be considered as a far-going generalization of the Fourier transform property of Gaussian exponential. This is true for…

We study upper bounds for sums of Dirichlet characters. We prove a uniform upper bound of the character sum over all proper generalized arithmetic progressions, which generalizes the classical Polya and Vinogradov inequality. Our argument…
