The Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula was recently resummed exactly in one variable, and left as a power series in the other (Moodie and Long 2021 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 54 015208). The coefficients of the power series were provided as a…

We develop further the theory of $q$-deformations of real numbers introduced by Morier-Genoud and Ovsienko, and focus in particular on the class of real quadratic irrationals. Our key tool is a $q$-deformation of the modular group…

Let $p>3$ be a prime number, $f\geq1$ an integer. We consider a certain full subcategory $\mathcal C$ of the category of smooth admissible mod $p$ representations of either $\text{GL}_2\mathbf Q_{p^f}$ or of the group of units of the…

We prove a strengthening of the "reciprocity conjecture" of Khare and Wintenberger. The input to the original conjecture is an odd prime p, a CM number field F containing the pth roots of unity, and a pair of primes of the maximal totally…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. Let $F$ be a non-archimedean local field of residue characteristic $p$, and let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be its residue field. Let $\mathcal{H}^{(1)}_{\mathbb{F}_q}$ be the pro-$p$-Iwahori-Hecke algebra of the $p$-adic group…

We discuss here characteristic $p$ $L$-series as well as the group $S_{(q)}$ which appears to act as symmetries of these functions. We explain various actions of $S_{(q)}$ that arise naturally in the theory as well as extensions of these…

Let $p$ be a prime and $n$ be a positive integer. Let $f_b(X)=X+(X^p-X+b)^{-1}$, where $b\in\Bbb F_{p^n}$ is such that $\text{Tr}_{p^n/p}(b)\ne 0$. In 2008, Yuan et al. \cite{Yuan-Ding-Wang-Pieprzyk-FFA-2008} showed that for $p=2,3$, $f_b$…

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 study the projective linear group PGL_2(A), associated with an arbitrary algebra A, and its subgroups from the point of view of their action on the space of involutions in A. This action formally resembles Moebius transformations known…

Classical Hecke operators on Maass forms are unitarely equivalent, up to a commuting phase, to completely positive maps on II$_1$ factors, associated to a pair of isomorphic subfactors, and an intertwining unitary. This representation is…

Given two subgroups $H,K$ of a finite group $G$, the probability that a pair of random elements from $H$ and $K$ commutes is denoted by $Pr(H,K)$. Suppose that a finite group $G$ admits a group of coprime automorphisms $A$ and let…

We introduce a class of permutation polynomial over $\mathbb F_{q^n}$ that can be written in the form $\frac{L(x)}{x^{q+1}}$ or $\frac{L(x^{q+1})}x$ for some $q$-linear polynomial $L$ over $\mathbb F_{q^n}$. Specifically, we present those…

A structural similarity between Classical Mechanics (CM) and Quantum Mechanics (QM) was revealed by P.A.M. Dirac in terms of Lie Algebras: while in CM the dynamics is determined by the Lie algebra of Poisson brackets on the manifold of…

We construct the action of the quantum double of $\uq$ on the standard Podle\'s sphere and interpret it as the quantum projective formula generalizing to the q-deformed setting the action of the Lorentz group of global conformal…

Let $p,q,n$ be natural numbers such that $p+q=n$. Let $\FF$ be either $\CC$, the complex numbers field, or $\HH$, the quaternionic division algebra. We consider the Heisenberg group $N(p,q,\FF)$ defined as $N(p,q,\FF)=\FF^{n}\times…

For a prime number $p$ and a free pro-$p$ group $G$ on a totally ordered basis $X$, we consider closed normal subgroups $G^\Phi$ of $G$ which are generated by $p$-powers of iterated commutators associated with Lyndon words in the alphabet…

Given a matroid and a group of its matroid automorphisms, we study the induced group action on the Chow ring of the matroid. This turns out to always be a permutation action. Work of Adiprasito, Huh and Katz showed that the Chow ring…

We give new proofs of two basic results in number theory: The law of quadratic reciprocity and the sign of the Gauss sum. We show that these results are encoded in the relation between the discrete Fourier transform and the action of the…

In this work we prove a prime number type theorem involving the normalised Fourier coefficients of holomorphic and Maass cusp forms, using the classical circle method. A key point is in a recent paper of Fouvry and Ganguly, based on…

Using the $q$-Wilf--Zeilberger method and a $q$-analogue of a "divergent" Ramanujan-type supercongruence, we give several $q$-supercongruences modulo the fourth power of a cyclotomic polynomial. One of them is a $q$-analogue of a…
