We study maximal representations of nonnegative sesquilinear forms in real or complex Hilbert spaces, that are not necessarily closed or even closable. We associate positive self-adjoint operators with such forms, in a sense similar to…

We establish that if $d \geq 2k + 6$ and $q$ is odd and sufficiently large with respect to $\alpha \in (0,1)$, then every set $A\subseteq \mathbf{F}_q^d$ of size $|A| \geq \alpha q^d$ will contain an isometric copy of every spherical…

We prove that on the cyclic groups of odd order d, there exist non zero functions whose convolution square f*f(2t) is proportional to their square f(t)^2 when the proportionality constant is given by an imaginary quadratic integer of norm d…

We develop new closed form representations of sums of (n + {\alpha})th shifted harmonic numbers and reciprocal binomial coefficients in terms of {\alpha}th shifted harmonic numbers. Some interesting new consequences and illustrative…

Consider a closed connected hypersurface in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with constant signature (k,l) of the second quadratic form, and approaching a quadratic cone at infinity. This hypersurface divides $\mathbb{R}^n$ into two pieces. We prove that one…

We exhibit an extension of the category of class two nilpotent groups. It has the same objects but, unlike the latter, its morphisms are closed under pointwise addition of maps. At the same time the class of its morphisms is much smaller…

In this note we will discuss a new reflection principle which follows from the Proper Forcing Axiom. The immediate purpose will be to prove that the bounded form of the Proper Forcing Axiom implies both that 2^omega = omega_2 and that…

Let K = Q(\omega) with \omega^3 = m be a pure cubic number field. We show that the elements\alpha \in K^\times whose squares have the form a - \omega form a group isomorphic to the group of rational points on the elliptic curve E_m: y^2=…

We recall Vere-Jones's definition of the $\alpha$--permanent and describe the connection between the (1/2)--permanent and the hafnian. We establish expansion formulae for the $\alpha$--permanent in terms of partitions of the index set, and…

We consider two algorithms which can be used for proving positivity of sequences that are defined by a linear recurrence equation with polynomial coefficients (P-finite sequences). Both algorithms have in common that while they do succeed…

Let $ K $ be a global function field of characteristic $ 2 $. For each non-trivial place $ v $ of $ K $, let $ K_{v} $ be the completion of $ K $ at $ v $. We show that if two non-degenerate quadratic forms are similar over every $ K_{v} $,…

Let $P(z)$ be a polynomial of degree $n,$ then it is known that for $\alpha\in\mathbb{C}$ with $|\alpha|\leq \frac{n}{2},$ \begin{align*} \underset{|z|=1}{\max}|\left|zP^{\prime}(z)-\alpha P(z)\right|\leq…

In this note, we prove $p^2$ is a Morley pseudoprime (of order 2) iff $p^2$ is a Wolstenholme pseudoprime (of order 2) iff $p$ is a Wolstenholme prime iff $p$ is a Morley prime. Concerning pseudoprimes of order 1 that are not powers of…

For each integer $d\ge 4$, we study the sequence of positive integers which are represented by one at least of the cyclotomic binary forms $\Phi_n(X,Y)$, with $n$ a positive integer satisfying $\varphi(n)\ge d$. The case $d=2$ was studied…

Let $G=$SL$(2,R)\ltimes(R^2)^{\oplus k}$ and let $\Gamma$ be a congruence subgroup of SL$(2,Z)\ltimes(Z^2)^{\oplus k}$. We prove a polynomially effective asymptotic equidistribution result for special types of unipotent orbits in…

This paper is a part of ongoing research on order positive fields started some years ago. We prove that the real closure of an order positive field even in non-Archimedean case is also order positive.

We prove the existence of positive and of nodal solutions for $-\Delta u = |u|^{p-2}u+\mu |u|^{q-2}u$, $u\in {\rm H_0^1}(\Omega)$, where $\mu >0$ and $2<q<p=2N(N-2)$, for a class of open subsets $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^N$ lying between two…

We establish a lower bound for the frequency with which an irreducible monic cubic polynomial with negative discriminant can be expressed as a sum of two squares ($\square_{2}$). This provides a quantitative answer to a question posed by…

We give upper bounds on the size of the gap between the constant term and the next non-zero Fourier coefficient of an entire modular form of given weight for \Gamma_0(2). Numerical evidence indicates that a sharper bound holds for the…

We defined numbers of the form $p\cdot a^2$ as SP numbers (Square-Prime numbers) ($a\neq1$, $p$ prime) in the paper 'Distribution of Square-Prime numbers' (arXiv:2109.10238) along with proofs on their distribution. Some examples of SP…
