We provide several asymptotic expansions of the prime counting function $\pi(x)$ and related functions. We define an {\it asymptotic continued fraction expansion} of a complex-valued function of a real or complex variable to be a possibly…

It is shown that a valuation of residue characteristic different from $2$ and $3$ on a field $E$ has at most one extension to the function field of an elliptic curve over $E$, for which the residue field extension is transcendental but not…

Let $\theta=(\theta_1,\ldots,\theta_m) \in \R^m, \kappa=(\kappa_1,\ldots,\kappa_n) \in \R^n$ be two tuples of real numbers each linearly independent over $\Q$, and $T$ the transcendence degree of the field generated by $\{\exp(\theta_i…

Let $A$ be a finite dimensional associative algebra with derivations over a field of characteristic zero, i.e., an algebra whose structure is enriched by the action of a Lie algebra $L$ by derivations, and let $c_n^L(A),$ $n\geq 1,$ be its…

We investigate special values of Goss L-functions for Dirichlet characters at s=1 over rings of class number one and prove results on their transcendence and algebraic independence.

For a commutative algebra which comes from a Zinbiel algebra the exponential series can be written without denominators. When lifted to dendriform algebras this new series satisfies a functional equation analogous to the…

We study a modular function $\Lambda_{k,\ell}$ which is one of generalized $\lambda$ functions. We show $\Lambda_{k,\ell}$ and the modular invariant function $j$ generate the modular function field with respect to the modular subgroup…

Let $k$ be a finite field extension of the function field $\bfF_p(T)$ and $\bar{k}$ its algebraic closure. We count points in projective space $\Bbb P ^{n-1}(\bar{k})$ with given height and of fixed degree $d$ over the field $k$. If…

Examples of discontinuous functions already appear in the work of Euler, Abel, Dirichlet, Fourier, and Bolzano. A ground-breaking discovery due to Baire was that many discontinuous functions are well-behaved in that they are the pointwise…

Neither the Euler-Mascheroni constant, $\gamma=0.577215\ldots$, nor the Euler-Gompertz constant, $\delta=0.596347\ldots$, is currently known to be irrational. However, it has been proved that these two numbers are disjunctively…

We consider the structure ${\mathbb R}^{\mathrm{RE}}$ obtained from $({\mathbb R},<,+,\cdot)$ by adjoining the restricted exponential and sine functions. We prove Wilkie's conjecture for sets definable in this structure: the number of…

In this paper we find a new lower bound on the number of imaginary quadratic extensions of the function field $\mathbb{F}_{q}(x)$ whose class groups have elements of a fixed odd order. More precisely, for $q$, a power of an odd prime, and…

The classic Schneider-Lang theorem in transcendence theory asserts that there are only finitely many points at which algebraically independent complex meromorphic functions of finite order of growth can simultaneously take values in a…

The action of the finite Hilbert transform defined on $L^\infty(-1,1)$ and taking its values in the Zygmund space $L_{\textnormal{exp}}(-1,1)$ is studied in detail. This is a reciprocal situation to the investigation recently undertaken in…

Given an algebraic difference equation of the form \[\sigma^n(y)=f\big(y, \sigma(y),\dots,\sigma^{n-1}(y)\big)\] where $f$ is a rational function over a field $k$ of characteristic zero on which $\sigma$ acts trivially, it is shown that if…

We study the Diophantine properties of a new class of transcendental real numbers which contains, among others, Roy's extremal numbers, Bugeaud-Laurent Sturmian continued fractions, and more generally the class of Sturmian type numbers. We…

Let $H_n =\sum\limits_{k=1}^n \frac{1}{k}$ be the $n$-th harmonic number. Euler extended it to complex arguments and defined $H_r$ for any complex number $r$ except for the negative integers. In this paper, we give a new proof of the…

Pseudoexponential fields are exponential fields similar to complex exponentiation satisfying the Schanuel Property, which is the abstract statement of Schanuel's Conjecture, and an adapted form of existential closure. Here we show that if…

Let $P(x):=a_d x^d+\cdots+a_0\in\mathbb{Q}[x]$, $a_d>0$, be a polynomial of degree $d\geq 2$. Let $(x_n)$ be a sequence of integers satisfying \begin{equation*} x_{n+1}=P(x_n)\mbox{for all}\quad n=0,1,2\ldots,\quad\mbox{and} \quad…

In this paper, we establish the linear independence of values of the $q$-analogue of the exponential function, $E_q(x)$ and its derivatives at specified algebraic arguments, when $q$ is a Pisot-Vijayraghavan number. We also deduce similar…
