Let $G$ be a finite group, $N$ a normal subgroup of $G$, and $k$ a field of characteristic $p>0$. In this paper, we formulate the brick version of Clifford's theorem under suitable assumptions and prove it by using the theory of wide…

We prove analytic and combinatorial identities reminiscent of Schur's classical partition theorem. Specifically, we show that certain families of overpartitions whose parts satisfy gap conditions are equinumerous with partitions whose parts…

We present a correlated analysis for the $\Delta B =1, 2$ processes which occur via $b\to s$ transitions within models with a family non-universal $U(1)^\prime$. We take a model-independent approach, and only require family universal…

A fluctuation theorem is examined for the first-passage time of a biomolecular machine (e.g., a motor protein or an enzyme) in a nonequilibrium steady-state. For such machines in which the driven, observable process is coupled to a hidden…

H.J. Zassenhaus conjectured that any unit of finite order and augmentation $1$ in the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z}G$ of a finite group $G$ is conjugate in the rational group algebra $\mathbb{Q}G$ to an element of $G$. We prove the…

In a remarkable development Bender and coworkers have shown that it is possible to formulate quantum mechanics consistently even if the Hamiltonian and other observables are not Hermitian. Their formulation, dubbed PT quantum mechanics,…

Let $\Sigma \subset \mathbb{C}$ be a compact subset of the complex plane, and $\mu$ be a probability distribution on $\Sigma$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for $\mu$ to be the weak* limit of a sequence of uniform probability…

Many combinatorial sequences (for example, the Catalan and Motzkin numbers) may be expressed as the constant term of $P(x)^k Q(x)$, for some Laurent polynomials $P(x)$ and $Q(x)$ in the variable $x$ with integer coefficients. Denoting such…

We prove that P = NP implies #P = FP by exploiting the topological structure of 3SAT solution spaces. The argument proceeds via a dichotomy: any polynomial-time algorithm for 3SAT either operates without global knowledge of the…

The starting point for this work is the family of functions $\overline{p}_{-t}(n)$ which counts the number of $t$--colored overpartitions of $n.$ In recent years, several infinite families of congruences satisfied by $\overline{p}_{-t}(n)$…

We study the space-time symmetries and transformation properties of the non-commutative U(1) gauge theory, by using Noether charges. We carry out our analysis by keeping an open view on the possible ways $\theta^{\mu \nu}$ could transform.…

Given a Chevalley group $\mathcal{G}$ of classical type and a Borel subgroup $\mathcal{B} \subseteq \mathcal{G}$, we compute the $\Sigma$-invariants of the $S$-arithmetic groups $\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{Z}[1/N])$, where $N$ is a product of…

This paper discusses, certain algebraic, analytic, and topological results on partial iterated function systems($IFS_p$'s). Also, the article proves the Collage theorem for partial iterated function systems. Further, it provides a method to…

For a fixed SL(3, Z) Maass form g, we consider the family of L-functions L(g \times u_j, s) where u_j runs over the family of Hecke-Maass cusp forms on SL(2,Z). We obtain an estimate for the second moment of this family of L-functions at…

For $f \in H^p(\delta^2)$, $0<p\leq 2$, with Haar expansion $f=\sum f_{I \times J}h_{I\times J}$ we constructively determine the Pietsch measure of the $2$-summing multiplication operator \[\mathcal{M}_f:\ell^{\infty} \rightarrow…

Let $\omega^*(n) = \{d|n: d=p-1, \mbox{$p$ is a prime}\}$. We show that, for each integer $k\geq2$, $$ \sum_{n\leq x}\omega^*(n)^k \asymp x(\log x)^{2^k-k-1}, $$ where the implied constant may depend on $k$ only. This confirms a recent…

For the purposes of this paper supercongruences are congruences between terminating hypergeometric series and quotients of $p$-adic Gamma functions that are stronger than those one can expect to prove using commutative formal group laws. We…

We prove exact formulas for weighted $2k$th moments of the Riemann zeta function for all integer $k\geq 1$ in terms of the analytic continuation of an auto-correlation function. This latter enjoys several functional equations. One of them,…

The present paper is devoted to the second part of our project on asymmetric maximal inequalities, where we consider martingales in continuous time. Let $(\mathcal M,\tau)$ be a noncommutative probability space equipped with a continuous…

We prove that if the linear-time and polynomial-time hierarchies coincide, then every model of $\Pi_1(\mathbb{N}) + \neg \Omega_1$ has a proper end-extension to a model of $\Pi_1(\mathbb{N})$, and so $\Pi_1(\mathbb{N}) + \neg \Omega_1…
