We study congruences relating Fourier coefficients of meromorphic modular forms and Frobenius eigenvalues of elliptic curves corresponding to their poles. We develop a $p$-adic cohomological framework that interprets these congruences via…

We explain how to obtain the set of solutions of a multivariate polynomial equation modulo a power of a prime number. These solutions are determined by a tree, called the trunk, which makes it possible to reconstruct all solutions. We apply…

Let $p>5$ be a fixed prime. We obtain an asymptotic formula related to small solutions of quadratic congruences of the form $x_1^2+x_2^2\equiv x_3^2\bmod{p^n}$ where $\max\{|x_1|,|x_2|,|x_3|\}\le p^{\nu n}$ with $\nu>1/2$.

Let $p_{-k}(n)$ enumerate the number of $k$-colored partitions of $n$. In this paper, we establish some infinite families of congruences modulo 25 for $k$-colored partitions. Furthermore, we prove some infinite families of Ramanujan-type…

Let $p=3n+1$ be a prime with $n\in\mathbb{N}=\{0,1,\cdots\}$, and let $g\in\mathbb{Z}$ be a primitive root modulo $p$. Let $0<a_1<\cdots<a_n<p$ be all the cubic residues modulo $p$ in the interval $(0,p)$. Then clearly the sequence $$a_1\…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. Define the Gaussian power sum \[ G_n(p)=\sum_{a=1}^{p-1}\sum_{b=1}^{p-1}(a+bi)^n\in\mathbb Z[i]. \] We determine $G_p(p)$ modulo high powers of $p$: if $p\equiv 1\pmod 4$ then $$G_p(p)\equiv p^2(1+i)\pmod{p^3},$$…

Let $p>3$ be a prime, $a_1,a_2,a_3\in\Bbb Z$ and let $N_p(x^3+a_1x^2+a_2x+a_3)$ denote the number of solutions to the congruence $x^3+a_1x^2+a_2x+a_3\equiv 0\pmod p$. In this paper, we give an explicit criterion for…

In the paper, we establish a new estimate for Kloosterman sum over primes with respect to an arbitrary modulus $q$. This estimate together with some recent results of the second author are applied to the problem of solvability of the…

Let $c\phi_{k}(n)$ be the number of $k$-colored generalized Frobenius partitions of $n$. We establish some infinite families of congruences for $c\phi_{3}(n)$ and $c\phi_{9}(n)$ modulo arbitrary powers of 3, which refine the results of…

Nagell proved that for each prime $p\equiv 1\pmod{3}$, $p > 7$, there is a prime $q<2p^{1/2}$ that is a cubic residue modulo $p$. Here we show that for each fixed $\epsilon > 0$, and each prime $p\equiv 1\pmod{3}$ with $p > p_0(\epsilon)$,…

Recently, Andrews and Paule introduced a partition function $PDN1(N)$ which denotes the number of partition diamonds with $(n+1)$ copies of $n$ where summing the parts at the links gives $N$. They also presented the generating function for…

In this paper, we apply the power-partible reduction to study arithmetic properties of sums involving Delannoy numbers $D_k$ and polynomials $D_k(z)$. Let $v\in\bN$ and $p$ be an odd prime. It is proved that, for any…

Prunescu and Sauras-Altuzarra showed that all C-recursive sequences of natural numbers have an arithmetic div-mod representation that can be derived from their generating function. This representation consists of computing the quotient of…

We discuss several congruences satisfied by the coefficients of meromorphic modular forms, or equivalently, the $p$-adic behaviors of meromorphic modular forms under the $U_p$ operator, that are summarized from numerical experiments. In the…

We study number theoretic properties of the map $x \mapsto x^{x} \mod{p}$, where $x \in \{1,2,\ldots,p-1\}$, and improve on some recent upper bounds, due to Kurlberg, Luca, and Shparlinski, on the number of primes $p < N$ for which the map…

We consider polynomial equations, or systems of polynomial equations, with integer coefficients, modulo prime numbers $p$. We offer an elementary approach based on a counting method. The outcome is a weak form of the Lang-Weil lower bound…

Recently there has been quite a bit of study carried out related to arithmetic properties of overpartitions into non-multiples of two co-prime integers. The paper [19] by Nadji et al. looked into congruences modulo $3$ and powers of $2$ for…
