In terms of the creative microscoping method recently introduced by Guo and Zudilin [Adv. Math. 346 (2019), 329--358], we find a $q$-supercongruence with four parameters modulo $\Phi_n(q)(1-aq^n)(a-q^n)$, where $\Phi_n(q)$ denotes the…
Penttila and Williford constructed a $4-$class association scheme from a generalized quadrangle with a doubly subtended subquadrangle. We show that an association scheme with appropriate parameters and satisfying some assumption about…
We prove some uniqueness results which improve and generalize results of Jiang-Tao Li and Ping Li[Uniqueness of entire functions concerning differential polynomials. Commun. Korean Math. Soc. 30 (2015), No. 2, pp. 93-101].
We study multivariate integration over the $s$-dimensional unit cube in a weighted space of infinitely differentiable functions. It is known from a recent result by Suzuki that there exists a good quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) rule which achieves…
Given two schemes $S$ and $S'$, we prove that every equivalence between $\mathbf{Sch}_S$ and $\mathbf{Sch}_{S'}$ comes from a unique isomorphism between $S$ and $S'$. This eliminates all Noetherian and finite type hypotheses from a result…
We present an example of a strictly positive polynomial with rational coefficients that can be decomposed as a sum of squares of polynomials over $\R$ but not over $\Q$. This answers an open question by C. Scheiderer posed as the second…
The definition of Suzuki groups over rings is given by means of an explicit description as a difference-algebraic group. For a (not necessarily perfect) field with more than two elements this construction produces a simple group.
The purpose of this article is twofold. First, we prove that the $8$-dimensional Lie group $\operatorname{SL}(3,\mathbb{R})$ does not admit a left-invariant hypercomplex structure. To accomplish this we revise the classification of…
The $(-1)$-Jacobi, Bannai-Ito, and $(-1)$-Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials are studied in [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 364 (2012), 5491-5507], [Adv. Math. 229 (2012), 2123-2158], and [Stud. Appl. Math. 153 (2024), e12728], respectively, through…
Let $q$ be a power of a fixed prime $p$. We classify up to isomorphism all simple saturated fusion systems on a certain class of $p$-groups constructed from the polynomial representations of $\mathrm{SL}_2(q)$, which includes the Sylow…
It was shown by LeCompte, Martin, and Oweans in 2010 that the existence of mutually unbiased Hadamard matrices and the identity matrix, which coincide with mutually unbiased bases, is equivalent to that of a $Q$-polynomial association…
It follows from Delsarte theory that the Witt $4$-$(11,5,1)$ design gives rise to a $Q$-polynomial association scheme $\mathcal{W}$ defined on the set of its blocks. In this note we show that $\mathcal{W}$ is unique, i.e., defined up to…
By using the Rodriguez-Villegas-Mortenson supercongruences, we prove four supercongruences on sums involving binomial coefficients, which were originally conjectured by Sun. We also confirm a related conjecture of Guo on integer-valued…
Pak and Panova recently proved that the $q$-binomial coefficient ${m+n \choose m}_q$ is a strictly unimodal polynomial in $q$ for $m,n \geq 8$, via the representation theory of the symmetric group. We give a direct combinatorial proof of…
In this paper, we study congruences on sums of products of binomial coefficients that can be proved by using properties of the Jacobi polynomials. We give special attention to polynomial congruences containing Catalan numbers, second-order…
We prove that there does not exist a non-square quadratic polynomial with integer coefficients and an axis of symmetry which takes square values for N consecutive integers for N=7 or N >= 9. At the opposite, if N <= 6 or N=8 there are…
It is well known that the number of entanglement classes in SLOCC (stochastic local operations and classical communication) classifications increases with the number of qubits and is already infinite for four qubits. Bearing in mind the…
The number of positive solutions of a system of two polynomials in two variables defined in the field of real numbers with a total of five distinct monomials cannot exceed 15. All previously known examples have at most 5 positive solutions.…
We describe an incremental algorithm to enumerate the isomorphism classes of double pseudoline arrangements. The correction of our algorithm is based on the connectedness under mutations of the spaces of one-extensions of double pseudoline…
This is the second in a series of papers which intend to explore conceptual ways of distinguishing between families in the $q$-Askey scheme and uniform ways of parametrizing the families. For a system of polynomials $p_n(x)$ in the…
