We describe the set of prime numbers splitting completely in the non-abelian splitting field of certain monic irreducible polynomials of degree three. As an application we establish some divisibility properties of the associated ternary…

We prove several Ramanujan-type congruences modulo powers of $5$ for partition $k$-tuples with $5$-cores, for $k=2, 3, 4$. We also prove some new infinite families of congruences modulo powers of primes for $k$-tuples with $p$-cores, where…

In this note, we give short proofs of the well-known results that the exponent of the Schur multiplier $\M$ divides the exponent of $\G$ for finite $\p$-groups of maximal class and potent $\p$-groups. Moreover, we prove the same for a…

In their study of a binomial sum related to Wolstenholme's theorem, Chamberland and Dilcher prove that the corresponding sequence modulo primes $p$ satisfies congruences that are analogous to Lucas' theorem for the binomial coefficients…

Ordinary orthogonal polynomials are uniquely characterized by the three term recurrence relations up to an overall multiplicative constant. We show that the newly discovered M-indexed orthogonal polynomials satisfy 3+2M term recurrence…

We introduce the completeness problem for Modal Logic and examine its complexity. For a definition of completeness for formulas, given a formula of a modal logic, the completeness problem asks whether the formula is complete for that logic.…

Constant-recursive sequences are those which satisfy a linear recurrence, so that later terms can be obtained as a linear combination of the previous ones. The rank of a constant-recursive sequence is the minimal number of previous terms…

For integers $m \geq 2$, we study divergent continued fractions whose numerators and denominators in each of the $m$ arithmetic progressions modulo $m$ converge. Special cases give, among other things, an infinite sequence of divergence…

We characterize which residue classes contain infinitely many totients (values of Euler's function) and which do not. We show that the union of all residue classes that are totient-free has asymptotic density 3/4, that is, almost all…

There is a probability charge on the power set of the integers that gives probability $1/p$ to every residue class modulo a prime $p$. There exists such a charge that gives probability $w$ to the set of prime numbers iff $w \in [0,1/2]$.…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $E_{p}$ denote the elliptic curve $y^2=x^3+px$. It is known that for $p$ which is congruent to $1, 9$ modulo $16$, the rank of $E_{p}$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ is equal to $0, 2$. Under the condition that the Birch…

A group is called capable if it is a central factor group. We consider the capability of finite groups of class two and exponent $p$, $p$ an odd prime. We restate the problem of capability as a problem about linear transformations, which…

We prove congruences, modulo a power of a prime p, for certain finite sums involving central binomial coefficients $\binom{2k}{k}$.

We present a method for obtaining congruences modulo powers of a prime number~$p$ for combinatorial sequences whose generating function satisfies an algebraic differential equation. This method generalises the one by Kauers and the authors…

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…

For odd primes $p$ we consider the factors \[ A(p)=\frac{p-\chi_4(p)}{p+\chi_4(p)}, \qquad \chi_4(p)= \begin{cases} 1,&p\equiv 1\pmod 4, \\ -1,&p\equiv 3\pmod 4, \end{cases} \] and study products of $A(p)$ restricted to unions of residue…

The distribution of values of the full ranks of marked Durfee symbols is examined in prime and nonprime arithmetic progressions. The relative populations of different residues for the same modulus are determined: the primary result is that…

This paper gives the additivity and reduction formulas for mixed multiplicities of multi-graded modules $M$ and mixed multiplicities of arbitrary ideals, and establishes the recursion formulas for the sum of all the mixed multiplicities of…

We prove that if $A$ is a subset of those primes which are congruent to $1 \pmod{3}$ such that the relative density of $A$ in this residue class is larger than $\frac{1}{2},$ then every sufficiently large odd integer $n$ which satisfies $n…

Let $p_{\{3, 3\}}(n)$ denote the number of $3$-regular partitions in three colours. In a very recent paper, da Silva and Sellers studied certain arithmetic properties of $p_{\{3, 3\}}(n)$. They further conjectured four Ramanujan-like…
