The generalized hyperharmonic numbers $h_n^{(m)}(k)$ are defined by means of the multiple harmonic numbers. We show that the hyperharmonic numbers $h_n^{(m)}(k)$ satisfy certain recurrence relation which allow us to write them in terms of…

We examine nucleon-nucleon realistic interactions, based on their SU(3) decomposition to SU(3)-symmetric components. We find that many of these interaction components are negligible, which, in turn, allows us to identify a subset of…

We give congruences between the Eisenstein series and a cusp form in the cases of Siegel modular forms and Hermitian modular forms. We should emphasize that there is a relation between the existence of a prime dividing the $k-1$-th…

In this short note, we derive an upper-bound for the sum of two comparison functions, namely for the sum of a class K and an extended class K function. To the best of our knowledge, the relations derived in this note have not been…

We study the integrals of type $I(a)=\int_{O_n}\prod u_{ij}^{a_{ij}}\,du$, depending on a matrix $a\in M_{p\times q}(\mathbb N)$, whose exact computation is an open problem. Our results are as follows: (1) an extension of the "elementary…

In this note we continue the analysis of permutations that avoid substrings j(j+k), 1 <= j <= n-k, k < n, as well as substrings j(j+k) (mod n), 1 <= j <= n. In the first case the number of such permutations can be obtained from recursions…

For a given permutation $\tau$, let $P_N^{\tau}$ be the uniform probability distribution on the set of $N$-element permutations $\sigma$ that avoid the pattern $\tau$. For $\tau=\mu_k:=123\cdots k$, we consider $P_N^{\mu_k}(\sigma_I=J)$…

This work is about a partition problem which is an instance of the distance magic graph labeling problem. Given positive integers $n,k$ and $p_1\le p_2\le \cdots\le p_k$ such that $p_1+\cdots+p_k=n$ and $k$ divides $\sum_{i=1}^ni$, we study…

Consider the following Kirchhoff type problem $$ \left\{\aligned -\bigg(a+b\int_{\mathbb{B}_R}|\nabla u|^2dx\bigg)\Delta u&= \lambda u^{q-1} + \mu u^{p-1}, &\quad \text{in}\mathbb{B}_R, \\ u&>0,&\quad\text{in}\mathbb{B}_R,\\…

String representations of the Wilson loop are constructed in the SU(N)-version of compact QED in three and four dimensions. This is done exactly in the case of the fundamental Wilson loop and in the large-N limit in the case of the adjoint…

Let $\overline{p}_o(n)$ denote the number of overpartitions of $n$ into odd parts. The partition function $\overline{p}_o(n)$ has been the subject of many recent studies where many explicit Ramanujan-like congruences were discovered. In…

The undecidability of the additive theory of primes (with identity) as well as the theory Th(N,+, n -> p\_n), where p\_n denotes the (n+1)-th prime, are open questions. As a possible approach, we extend the latter theory by adding some…

Let $B_n$ be the $n$-th balancing number. In this paper, we give some explicit expressions of $\sum_{l=0}^{2 r-3}(-1)^l\binom{2 r-3}{l}\sum_{j_1+\cdots+j_r=n-2 l\atop j_1,\dots,j_r\ge 1}B_{j_1}\cdots B_{j_r}$ and…

This paper is devoted to the study of $$ U_t(a,q):=\sum_{1\leq n_1<n_2<\cdots<n_t}\frac{q^{n_1+n_2+\cdots+n_t}}{(1+aq^{n_1}+q^{2n_1})(1+aq^{n_2}+q^{2n_2})\cdots(1+aq^{n_t}+q^{2n_t})} $$ when $a$ is one of $0, \pm 1, \pm2$. The idea builds…

Recent progress in some selected areas of grand unification and physics beyond the standard model is reviewed. Topics include gauge coupling unification, SU(5), SO(10), symmetry breaking mechanisms, finite field theory: SU(3)^3, leptonic…

It is often argued that in the class of non-supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theories there is barely any room for reconciling the lower bound on the position of the GUT scale emerging from the proton decay searches and the lower limit…

In this paper we study results of existence and non-existence of solutions for the following Ambrosetti-Prodi type problem $$ \left\{ \begin{array}{lcl} -\Delta u=P(x)\Big( g(u)+f(x)\Big) \mbox{ in } \mathbb{R}^N,\\ u \in D^{1,2}(\R^N),\…

We compute the multiplicity of the irreducible representations in the decomposition of the tensor product of an arbitrary number $n$ of fundamental representations of $SU(N)$, and we identify a duality in the representation content of this…

We investigate the high energy behavior of the SU(N) chiral Gross-Neveu model in 1 + 1 dimensions. The model is integrable and matrix elements of several local operators (form factors) are known exactly. The form factors show rapidity space…

Recently we have proposed a set of variables for describing the infrared limit of four dimensional SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. here we extend these variables to the general case of four dimensional SU(N) Yang-Mills theory. We find that the…
