In this note we consider infinite series similar to the "strange" function $F(q)$ of Kontsevich studied by Zagier, Bryson-Ono-Pitman-Rhoades, Bringmann-Folsom-Rhoades, Rolen-Schneider, and others in connection to quantum modular forms. We…

A classical result of Euler states that the tangent numbers are an alternating sum of Eulerian numbers. A dual result of Roselle states that the secant numbers can be obtained by a signed enumeration of derangements. We show that both…

In this paper, we use the blending functions of Bernstein polynomials with shifted knots for construction of Bezier curves and surfaces. We study the nature of degree elevation and degree reduction for Bezier Bernstein functions with…

Subtraction games are a class of impartial combinatorial games whose positions correspond to nonnegative integers and whose moves correspond to subtracting one of a fixed set of numbers from the current position. Though they are easy to…

We introduce a notion of refinements in the context of patching, in order to obtain new results about local-global principles and field invariants in the context of quadratic forms and central simple algebras. The fields we consider are…

Geometric Invariant Theory gives a method for constructing quotients for group actions on algebraic varieties which in many cases appear as moduli spaces parametrizing isomorphism classes of geometric objects (vector bundles, polarized…

Finite-order invariants of knots in arbitrary 3-manifolds (including non-orientable ones) are constructed and studied by methods of the topology of discriminant sets. Obstructions to the integrability of admissible weight systems to…

Polynomial remainder sequences contain the intermediate results of the Euclidean algorithm when applied to (non-)commutative polynomials. The running time of the algorithm is dependent on the size of the coefficients of the remainders.…

We associate with each simple Lie algebra a system of second-order differential equations invariant under a non-compact real form of the corresponding Lie group. In the limit of a contraction to a Schr\"odinger algebra, these equations…

In the course of the proof of the irrationality of zeta(2) R. Apery introduced numbers b_n = \sum_{k=0}^n {n \choose k}^2{n+k \choose k}. Stienstra and Beukers showed that for the prime p > 3 Apery numbers satisfy congruence b((p-1)/2) =…

Entanglement is a physical phenomenon, which has fueled recent successes of quantum algorithms. Although quantum neural networks (QNNs) have shown promising results in solving simple machine learning tasks recently, for the time being, the…

Following an approach presented by N. Frantzikinakis, we prove that any multiple correlation sequence, defined by invertible measure preserving actions of commuting transformations with integer part polynomial iterates, is the sum of a…

A generating function is given for the number, $E(l,k)$, of irreducible $k$-fold Euler sums, with all possible alternations of sign, and exponents summing to $l$. Its form is remarkably simple: $\sum_n E(k+2n,k) x^n = \sum_{d|k}\mu(d)…

We build on our previous paper \cite{constructive} by using the general method introduced there in conjunction with invariant theory. This yields quantifier elimination results for the classical quaternions, octonions, as well as other…

We show that the class of every primitive indefinite binary quadratic form is naturally represented by an infinite graph (named \c{c}ark) with a unique cycle embedded on a conformal annulus. This cycle is called the spine of the \c{c}ark.…

The problem of representing a given positive integer as a sum of four squares of integers has been widely concerned for a long time, and for a given positive odd $n$ one can find a representation by doing arithmetic in a maximal order of…

We define a "reduced" version of the knot Floer complex $CFK^-(K)$, and show that it behaves well under connected sums and retains enough information to compute Heegaard Floer $d$-invariants of manifolds arising as surgeries on the knot…

Starting with a symmetric/antisymmetric matrix with integer coefficients (which we view as an analogue of a metric/form on a principal bundle over the "manifold" Spec Z) we introduce arithmetic analogues of Chern connections and their…

In this report, I will start by first giving a brief introduction on knots to build some intuition before beginning the more rigorous review in the Literature Review section. There, I will define knot equivalence, the Jones polynomial…

Contrary to the expected behavior, we show the existence of non-invertible deformations of Lie algebras which can generate invariants for the coadjoint representation, as well as delete cohomology with values in the trivial or adjoint…
