Given a prime $p\geq 5$, we reduce modulo p a convolution of order p-1 of powers of two weighted Bernoulli numbers with Bernoulli numbers in terms of harmonic numbers and generalized harmonic numbers. Our proof is based on studying the…

We establish a polynomial recursion formula for linear Hodge integrals. It is obtained as the Laplace transform of the cut-and-join equation for the simple Hurwitz numbers. We show that the recursion recovers the Witten-Kontsevich theorem…

We study $l^p$ operator norms of factorable matrices and related results. We give applications to $l^p$ operator norms of weighted mean matrices and Copson's inequalities. We also apply the method in this paper to study the best constant in…

We introduce a new class of pseudoprimes-so called "overpseudoprimes" which is a special subclass of super-Poulet pseudoprimes. Denoting via h(n) the multiplicative order of 2 modulo n, we show that odd number n is overpseudoprime iff value…

We introduce partial $r$-Bell polynomials in three combinatorial Hopf algebras. We prove a factorization formula for the generating functions which is a consequence of the Zassenhauss formula.

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…

We prove an $\mathbb F_p$-Selberg integral formula, in which the $\mathbb F_p$-Selberg integral is an element of the finite field $\mathbb F_p$ with odd prime number $p$ of elements. The formula is motivated by analogy between…

Let R be a complete discrete valuation ring with maximal ideal generated by pi. Let f(X) in R[X] be a monic polynomial with nonzero discriminant Delta(f). Let s >= v_pi(Delta(f)) + 1. Suppose given a factorisation of f(X) in (R/pi^s R)[X]…

Given a valued field $(K,v)$ and an irreducible polynomial $g\in K[x]$, we survey the ideas of Ore, Maclane, Okutsu, Montes, Vaqui\'e and Herrera-Olalla-Mahboub-Spivakovsky, leading (under certain conditions) to an algorithm to find the…

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…

Let $p$ be a prime number. In this paper, we estimate the variation of the sizes of quotients of certain finitely generated $p$-torsion Iwasawa modules, which are closely related to class numbers. We also construct some…

We get some results about the factorization of $\phi_p(M) \in {\mathbb{F}}_2[x]$, where $p$ is a prime number, $\phi_p$ is the corresponding cyclotomic polynomial and $M$ is a Mersenne prime (polynomial). By the way, we better understand…

Recently, Ko\c{c} proposed a neat and efficient algorithm for computing \[ x = a^{-1} \pmod {p^k} \] for a prime $p$ based on the exact solution of linear equations using $p$-adic expansions. The algorithm requires only addition and right…

We present a few factorizations of polynomials over finite fields. These factorizations are related to traces, compositions of polynomials and binomial coefficients. As a corollary we obtain a description of all irreducible polynomials…

For real polynomials with (sparse) exponents in some fixed set, \[ \Psi(t)=x+y_1t^{k_1}+\ldots +y_L t^{k_L}, \] we analyse the types of root structures that might occur as the coefficients vary. We first establish a stratification of roots…

We show that Wilson's theorem as well as the Wilson quotient can be described by supercongruences modulo any higher prime power involving terms of power sums of Fermat quotients. The new approach uses Bell polynomials and Newton's…

We obtain new bounds of exponential sums modulo a prime $p$ with sparse polynomials $a_0x^{n_0} + \cdots + a_{\nu}x^{n_\nu}$. The bounds depend on various greatest common divisors of exponents $n_0, \ldots, n_\nu$ and their differences. In…

We provide upper bounds on the density of a symmetric generalized arithmetic progression lacking nonzero elements of the form h(n) for natural numbers n, or h(p) with p prime, for appropriate polynomials h with integer coefficients. The…
