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…

Let E be an elliptic curve having Complex Multiplication by the full ring O_K of integers of K=Q(\sqrt{-D}), let H=K(j(E)) be the Hilbert class field of K. Then the Mordell-Weil group E(H) is an O_K-module, and its structure denpends on its…

Following a suggestion of W.M. Schmidt and L. Summerer, we construct a proper $3$-system $(P_{1},P_{2},P_{3})$ with the property $\overline{\varphi}_{3}=1$. In fact, our method generalizes to provide $n$-systems with…

The numbers e_p(k,n) defined as min(nu_p(S(k,j)j!): j >= n) appear frequently in algebraic topology. Here S(k,j) is the Stirling number of the second kind, and nu_p(-) the exponent of p. The author and Sun proved that if L is sufficiently…

The theory of resurgence uniquely associates a factorially divergent formal power series with a collection of exponentially small non-perturbative corrections paired with a set of complex numbers known as Stokes constants. When the Borel…

Sequence of numbers generated by the recurrence relation based on the Collatz conjecture is investigated. An arithmetic operation on the Collatz conjecture is called descending operation, and ascending operation is carried out reversely to…

A prime number $p$ is said to be a Wolstenholme prime if it satisfies the congruence ${2p-1\choose p-1} \equiv 1 \,\,(\bmod{\,\,p^4})$. For such a prime $p$, we establish the expression for ${2p-1\choose p-1}\,\,(\bmod{\,\,p^8})$ given in…

We study simple non-weight ${\mathfrak{sl}}(2)$-modules which are finitely generated as ${\mathbb C}[z]$-modules. We show that they are described in terms of semilinear endomorphisms and prove that the Smith type induces a stratification on…

We prove, that the sequence $1!, 2!, 3!, \dots$ produces at least $(\sqrt{2} + o(1))\sqrt{p}$ distinct residues modulo prime $p$. Moreover, factorials on an interval $\mathcal{I} \subseteq \{0, 1, \dots, p - 1\}$ of length $N > p^{7/8 +…

For two odd primes $p$ and $q$ such that $p<q$, let $A(p,q):=(a_k)_{k=1}^{\infty}$ be the arithmetic progression whose $k$th term is given by $a_k=(k-1)(q-p)+p$ (i.e., with $a_1=p$ and $a_2=q$). Here we conjecture that for every positive…

Let $\epsilon\in \{-1,1\}$. A sequence of prime numbers $p_1, p_2, p_3, ...$, such that $p_i=2p_{i-1}+\epsilon$ for all $i$, is called a {\it Cunningham chain} of the first or second kind, depending on whether $\epsilon =1$ or -1…

Denote by p_k the k-th power sum symmetric polynomial n variables. The interpretation of the q-analogue of the binomial coefficient as Hilbert function leads us to discover that n consecutive power sums in n variables form a regular…

The Piatetski-Shapiro sequences are of the form ${\mathcal{N}}^{(c)} := (\lfloor n^c \rfloor)_{n=1}^\infty$ with $c > 1, c \not\in \mathbb{N}$. In this paper, we study the distribution of pairs $(p, p^{\#})$ of consecutive primes such that…

A pattern of a sequence is a sequence of integer indices with each index describing the order of first occurrence of the respective symbol in the original sequence. In a recent paper, tight general bounds on the block entropy of patterns of…

The modular discriminant $\Delta$ is known to structure the sequence of modular forms $(M_{2k}(SL_2(\mathbb{Z})))_{k\in \; \mathbb{N}^*}$ at level $1$.\\ For all positive integer $N$, we define a strong modular unit $\Delta_N$ at level $N$…

Let $L=(L_d)_{d \in \mathbb N}$ be any ordered probability sequence, i.e., satisfying $0 < L_{d+1} \le L_d$ for each $d \in \mathbb N$ and $\sum_{d \in \mathbb N} L_d =1$. We construct sequences $A = (a_i)_{i \in \mathbb N}$ on the…

Suppose that $p$ is an odd prime and $\genfrac{(}{)}{}{}{\cdot}{p}$ denotes the Legendre symbol modulo $p$. If $p$ is has the form $p= n^2+1$ then one easily verifies that $\genfrac{(}{)}{}{}{a}{p} = \genfrac{(}{)}{}{}{-a}{p}$ for all $a\in…

Consider a strongly $b$-multiplicative sequence and a prime $p$. Studying its $p$-rarefaction consists in characterizing the asymptotic behaviour of the sums of the first terms indexed by the multiples of $p$. The integer values of the…

In recent work, M. Just and the second author defined a class of "semi-modular forms" on $\mathbb C$, in analogy with classical modular forms, that are "half modular" in a particular sense; and constructed families of such functions as…

We prove that there is a small but fixed positive integer e such that for every prime larger than a fixed integer, every subset S of the integers modulo p which satisfies |2S|<(2+e)|S| and 2(|2S|)-2|S|+2 < p is contained in an arithmetic…
