The property of zeta-functions on mixed joint universality in the Voronin's sense states that any two holomorphic functions can be approximated simultaneously with accuracy $\epsilon>0$ by suitable vertical shifts of the pair consisting…

This paper is motivated by two problems in the theory of Diophantine approximation, namely, Davenport's problem regarding badly approximable points on submanifolds of a Euclidean space and Schmidt's problem regarding the intersections of…

Fix $\delta\in(0,1]$, $\sigma_0\in[0,1)$ and a real-valued function $\varepsilon(x)$ for which $\limsup_{x\to\infty}\varepsilon(x)\le 0$. For every set of primes ${\mathcal P}$ whose counting function $\pi_{\mathcal P}(x)$ satisfies an…

An explicit formula for the height-one multiple zeta values was proved by Kaneko and the second author. We give an alternative proof of this result and its generalization. We also prove its counterpart for the finite multiple zeta values.

Through a systematic approach on generating Wilf-Zeilberger-pairs, we prove some hypergeometric identities conjectures due to Z.W. Sun, J. Guillera and Y. Zhao etc., including two Ramanujan-$1/\pi^4$, one $1/\pi^3$ formulas as well as a…

It's well known that multiple polylogarithms give rise to good unipotent variations of mixed Hodge-Tate structures. In this paper we shall {\em explicitly} determine these structures related to multiple logarithms and some other multiple…

Hardy's theorem for the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$ says that it admits infinitely many complex zeros on the line $\Re({s}) = \frac{1}{2}$. In this note, we give a simple proof of this statement which, to the best of our knowledge, is…

In 1997 the author found a criterion for the Riemann hypothesis for the Riemann zeta function, involving the nonnegativity of certain coefficients associated with the Riemann zeta function. In 1999 Bombieri and Lagarias obtained an…

We formulate Vojta's conjecture for smooth weighted projective varieties, weighted multiplier ideal sheaves, and weighted log pairs and prove that all three versions of the conjecture are equivalent. In the process, we introduce generalized…

For a given transcendental number $\xi$ and for any polynomial $P(X)=: \lambda_0+\cdots+\lambda_k X^k \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$, we know that $ P(\xi) \neq 0.$ Let $k \geq 1$ and $\omega (k, H)$ be the infimum of the numbers $r > 0$ satisfying the…

Assume that the Riemann hypothesis holds for Dedekind zeta functions. Under this assumption, we prove that a degree $d$ polynomial with random multiplicative $\pm1$ coefficients is irreducible in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ with probability…

We prove and generalize several recent conjectures of Z.-W. Sun surrounding binomial coefficients and harmonic numbers. We show that Sun's series and their analogs can be represented as cyclotomic multiple zeta values of levels…

We show that the equation phi(a)=\sigma(b) has infinitely many solutions, where phi is Euler's totient function and sigma is the sum-of-divisors function. This proves a 50-year old conjecture of Erdos. Moreover, we show that there are…

In this paper we deduce a lower bound for the rank of a family of $p$ vectors in $\R^k$ (considered as a vector space over the rationals) from the existence of a sequence of linear forms on $\R^p$, with integer coefficients, which are small…

We establish a new class of relations among the multiple zeta values \zeta(k_1,k_2,...,k_n), which we call the cyclic sum identities. These identities have an elementary proof, and imply the "sum theorem" for multiple zeta values. They also…

In this paper we collect over 150 new series identities (involving binomial coefficients) conjectured by the author in 2026. The values involved are related to $\pi$ or Riemann's zeta function or Dirichlet's $L$-function. For example, we…

For odd $k$, we give a formula for the relations between double zeta values $\zeta(r,k-r)$ with $r$ even. This formula provides a connection with the space of cusp forms on $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$. This is the odd weight analogue of a…

Maximon has recently given an excellent summary of the properties of the Euler dilogarithm function and the frequently used generalizations of the dilogarithm, the most important among them being the polylogarithm function $Li_(z)$. The…

Various new identities, recurrence relations, integral representations, connection and explicit formulas are established for the Bernoulli, Euler numbers and the values of Riemann's zeta function. To do this, we explore properties of some…

We prove a new upper bound for the number of smooth values of a polynomial with integer coefficients. This improves Timofeev's previous result unless the polynomial is a product of linear polynomials with integer coefficients. As an…
