The noncommutative (or mixed) trace algebra $T_{nd}$ is generated by $d$ generic $n\times n$ matrices and by the algebra $C_{nd}$ generated by all traces of products of generic matrices, $n,d\geq 2$. It is known that over a field of…

We extend the T-duality for gauge theory to that on curved space described as a nontrivial fiber bundle. We also present a new viewpoint concerning the consistent truncation and the T-duality for gauge theory and discuss the relation…

We say a natural number $n$ is matchable if there is a bijection from the set of $\tau(n)$ divisors of $n$ to the set $\{1,2,\dots,\tau(n)\}$, where corresponding numbers are relatively prime. We show that the set of matchable numbers has…

For $q \geq 2$, $n \in \mathbb{N}$, let $s_{q}(n)$ denote the sum of the digits of $n$ written in base $q$. Spiegelhofer (2020) proved that the Thue--Morse sequence has level of distribution $1$, improving on a former result of Fouvry and…

In this note, we prove by using T. Estermann's and S. Dimitrov's arguments with an elementary inequality that there are infinitely many $n$ for which all of the numbers $n^2+1,n^2+2$ and $n^2+3$ are squarefree. We also improve the error…

Given two finite sequences of positive integers $\alpha$ and $\beta$, we associate a square free monomial ideal $I_{\alpha,\beta}$ in a ring of polynomials $S$, and we recursively compute the algebraic invariants of $S/I_{\alpha,\beta}$.…

In the proof of the irrationality of $\zeta(3)$ and $\zeta(2)$, Ap\'ery defined two integer sequences through $3$-term recurrences, which are known as the famous Ap\'ery numbers. Zagier, Almkvist--Zudilin and Cooper successively introduced…

Two families of q-Schur algebras associated to Hecke algebras of type D are introduced, and related to a family used by Geck, Gruber and Hiss [10], [11]. We prove that the algebras in one family, called the q-Schur^{1.5} algebras, are…

Let e>=1 and b>=2 be integers. For a positive integer n=\sum_{j=0}^ka_jb^j with 0<=a_j<b, define T_{e,b}(n)=\sum_{j=0}^ka_j^e. n is called (e,b)-happy if T_{e,b}^r(n)=1 for some r>=0, where T_{e,b}^r is the r-th iteration of T_{e,b}. In…

We prove that the Pauli representation of the quantum permutation algebra $A_s(4)$ is faithful. This provides the second known model for a free quantum algebra. We use this model for performing some computations, with the main result that…

Let $M$ be a T-motive. We introduce the notion of duality for $M$. Main results of the paper (we consider uniformizable $M$ over $F_q[T]$ of rank $r$, dimension $n$, whose nilpotent operator $N$ is 0): 1. Algebraic duality implies analytic…

There are numerous ways to represent real numbers. We may use, e.g., Cauchy sequences, Dedekind cuts, numerical base-10 expansions, numerical base-2 expansions and continued fractions. If we work with full Turing computability, all these…

Let $S= (s_1<s_2<\dots)$ be a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers and denote $\mathbf{e}(\beta)=\mathrm{e}^{2\pi i \beta}$. We say $S$ is good if for every real $\alpha$ the limit $\lim_N \frac1N\sum_{n\le N}…

A Thue-Mahler equation is a Diophantine equation of the form $$F(X,Y) = a\cdot p_1^{z_1}\cdots p_v^{z_v}, \qquad \gcd(X,Y)=1$$ where $F$ be an irreducible homogeneous binary form of degree at least $3$ with integer coefficients, $a$ is a…

Let $e_1,e_2,e_3$ be nonzero integers satisfying $e_1+e_2+e_3=0$. Let $(a,b,c)$ be a primitive triple of odd integers satisfying $e_1a^2+e_2b^2+e_3c^2=0$. Denote by $E: y^2=x(x-e_1)(x+e_2)$ and $\mathcal E: y^2=x(x-e_1a^2)(x+e_2b^2)$.…

An $N$-free poset is a poset whose comparability graph does not embed an induced path with four vertices. We use the well-quasi-order property of the class of countable $N$-free posets and some labelled ordered trees to show that a…

We study a question of Harju from 2019 regarding the existence of infinite ternary square-free words whose subsequences modulo $p$ and $q$ are also square-free for relatively prime integers $p$ and $q$. Among such pairs $(p, q)$ with $p, q…

We introduce a new family of meta-Fibonacci sequences $(f(n))_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, governed by the recurrence relation $$f(n)=af(n-u_{n}-1)+bf(n-u_{n}-2),$$ where $\mathbf{u}=(u_{n})_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ is a sequence with values $0,1$. Our…

The sphere $S^{N-1}_\mathbb R$ has a half-liberated analogue $S^{N-1}_{\mathbb R,*}$, and a free analogue $S^{N-1}_{\mathbb R,+}$. This is a presentation of the construction and main properties of these noncommutative spheres,…

We define two finite q-analogs of certain multiple harmonic series with an arbitrary number of free parameters, and prove identities for these q-analogs, expressing them in terms of multiply nested sums involving the Gaussian binomial…
