It is shown that the unique representation of positive integers in terms of tribonacci numbers and the unique representation in terms of iterated A, B and C sequences defined from the tribonacci word are equivalent. Two auxiliary…

A zero-sum sequence over ${\mathbb Z}$ is a sequence with terms in ${\mathbb Z}$ that sum to $0$. It is called minimal if it does not contain a proper zero-sum subsequence. Consider a minimal zero-sum sequence over ${\mathbb Z}$ with…

Here we completely determine the spin parity of $k$-differentials with prescribed zero and pole orders on Riemann surfaces of genus zero and one. This result was previously obtained conditionally by the first author and Quentin Gendron…

Let $r, \,m$ be positive integers. Let $x$ be a rational number with $0 \le x <1$. Consider $\Phi_s(x,z) =\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{z^{k+1}}{{(k+x+1)}^s}$ the $s$-th Lerch function with $s=1, 2, \cdots, r$. When $x=0$, this is a…

In this article, various results will be demonstrated that enable the delimitation of a zero-free region for holomorphic functions on a set $K$, studying the behavior of their imaginary or real part on the boundary of $K$. These findings…

Let $A$ be a vector space of real valued functions on a non-empty set $X$ and $L:A\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ a linear functional. Given a $\sigma$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$, of subsets of $X$, we present a necessary condition for $L$ to be…

This note considers reciprocal of primes in binary representation and shows that the conjecture that 0s exceed 1s in most cases continues to hold for primes less one million. The conjecture has also been tested for ternary representation…

We study two positional numeration systems which are known for allowing very efficient addition and multiplication of complex numbers. The first one uses the base $\beta = \imath - 1$ and the digit set $\mathcal{D} = \{ 0, \pm 1, \pm \imath…

This article studies the expressive power of finite automata recognizing sets of real numbers encoded in positional notation. We consider Muller automata as well as the restricted class of weak deterministic automata, used as symbolic set…

Let $A$ be a matrix with nonnegative real entries. A nonnegative factorization of size $k$ is a representation of $A$ as a sum of $k$ nonnegative rank-one matrices. The space of all such factorizations is a bounded semialgebraic set, and we…

We determine which faithful irreducible representations $V$ of a simple linear algebraic group $G$ are generically free for Lie($G$), i.e., which $V$ have an open subset consisting of vectors whose stabilizer in Lie($G$) is zero. This…

Transformers, central to the successes in modern Natural Language Processing, often falter on arithmetic tasks despite their vast capabilities --which paradoxically include remarkable coding abilities. We observe that a crucial challenge is…

Given any two rational numbers $r_1$ and $r_2$, a necessary and sufficient condition is established for the three numbers $1$, $\cos (\pi r_1)$, and $\cos (\pi r_2)$ to be rationally independent. Extending a classical fact sometimes…

We prove that if a field k is infinite, char(k)=0 and k has not nontrivial automorphisms then automorphic equivalence of representations of Lie algebras coincide with geometric equivalence. We achieve our result by consideration of 1-sorted…

Let $r \leqslant n$ be nonnegative integers, and let $N = \binom{n}{r} - 1$. For a matroid $M$ of rank $r$ on the finite set $E = [n]$ and a partial field $k$ in the sense of Semple--Whittle, it is known that the following are equivalent:…

We describe a solution of the word problem in free fields (coming from non-commutative polynomials over a commutative field) using elementary linear algebra, provided that the elements are given by minimal linear representations. It relies…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group in defining characteristic $p>0$, and let $V$ be an irreducible $G$-module which is the tensor product of exactly two non-trivial modules. We obtain a criterion for $V$ to have the zero weight. In…

It is argued that zero should be considered as a cardinal number but not an ordinal number. One should make a clear distinction between order types that are labels for well-ordered sets and ordinal numbers that are labels for the elements…

We consider sets of positive integers containing no sum of two elements in the set and also no product of two elements. We show that the upper density of such a set is strictly smaller than 1/2 and that this is best possible. Further, we…

Assume that $n \geq 2$ and $B = (b_1,...,b_n)$ has distince integer entries $\geq 3.$ For $x > 0$ let $d_B(x) := (d_{b_1}(x),...,d_{b_n}(x))$ where $d_{b_i}(x) \in \{1,...,b_i-1\}$ is the leftmost digit in the base-$b_i$ positional notation…
