This article is the last of the series of articles where we reprove the foundational ideas of abstract six-functor formalisms developed by Liu-Zheng. We prove the theorem of partial adjoints, which is a simplicial technique of encoding…

We establish a $q$-analogue of Sun--Zhao's congruence on harmonic sums. Based on this $q$-congruence and a $q$-series identity, we prove a congruence conjecture on sums of central $q$-binomial coefficients, which was recently proposed by…

We provide explicit formulas for quadratic Gauss sums over $\mathbb{Z}^n/c\mathbb{Z}^n$, which generalize some of the existing formulas, e.g., Skoruppa and Zagier's (for $n=2$), and Iwaniec and Kowalski's (for arbitrary $n$). We then give…

We confirm several conjectures of Guo, Jouhet and Zeng concerning the factors of alternative binomials sums.

In this paper we establish some new results similar to Lagrange's four-square theorem. For example, we prove that any integer $n>1$ can be written as $w(5w+1)/2+x(5x+1)/2+y(5y+1)/2+z(5z+1)/2$ with $w,x,y,z\in\mathbb Z$. Let $a$ and $b$ be…

For a C1-cofinite vertex algebra V, we give an efficient way to calculate Zhu's algebra A(V) of V with respect to its C1-generators and relations. We use two examples to explain how this method works.

We introduce a full solution to a problem considered by Wang and Chu concerning series involving the squares of finite sums of the form $1 + \frac{1}{3}+ \cdots + \frac{1}{2n-1}$. Our proof involves techniques from the theory of colored…

Following suggestions of T. H. Koornwinder, we give a new proof of Kummer's theorem involving Zeilberger's algorithm, the WZ method and asymptotic estimates. In the first section, we recall a classical proof given by L. J. Slater. The…

In this paper, we relate the MacDonald index of a 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFT with the Hilbert series of the arc space of the Zhu algebra of the corresponding Schur VOA. Using this, we conjecture a simple formula for the MacDonald index of…

Recently, Chen, Hou and Jin used both Abel's lemma on summation by parts and Zeilberger's algorithm to generate recurrence relations for definite summations. Meanwhile, they proposed the Abel-Gosper method to evaluate some indefinite sums…

Using the WZ method to prove supercongruences critically depends on an inspired WZ pair choice. This paper demonstrates a procedure for finding WZ pair candidates to prove a given supercongruence. When suitable WZ pairs are thus obtained,…

In this paper defuzzification method of WABL is investigated, its properties are analyzed. The WABL method is applied to some fuzzy models. The package of applied programs is worked out on the base of proposed algorithms. The obtained in…

Some generalized multi-sum Chu-Vandermonde identities are presented and proved, generalizing some known multi-sum Chu-Vandermonde identities from literature and adding some quadratic and cubic examples of these identities. Some other…

In the paper based on the question of Zhang and L\"{u}[15], we present one theorem which will improve and extend the results of Banerjee-Majumder [2] and a recent result of Li-Huang [9].

We comment on two formal proofs of Fermat's sum of two squares theorem, written using the Mathematical Components libraries of the Coq proof assistant. The first one follows Zagier's celebrated one-sentence proof; the second follows David…

Zagier provided eleven conjectural rank two examples for Nahm's problem. All of them have been proved in the literature except for the fifth example, and there is no $q$-series proof for the tenth example. We prove that the fifth and the…

For a non-negative integer $m$, let $S(m)$ denote the sum given by $$S(m):=\sum_{n=0}^{m}\frac{(-1)^n(8n+1)}{n!^3}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)_n^3.$$ Using the powerful WZ-method, for a prime $p\equiv 3$ $($mod $4)$ and an odd integer $r>1$, we…

One of the most interesting formulas for multiple zeta values is the sum formula proved by Granville and Zagier independently in 1990s. Many variations and generalizations of it have been found since then. In this paper, we will provide a…

Using the WZ-method we find some of the easiest Ramanujan's formulae and also some new interesting Ramanujan-like sums.

Let $\boldsymbol{\alpha}\in \mathbb{R}^N$ and $Q\geq 1$. We consider the sum $\sum_{\boldsymbol{q}\in [-Q,Q]^N\cap\mathbb{Z}^N\backslash\{\boldsymbol{0}\}}\|\boldsymbol{\alpha}\cdot\boldsymbol{q}\|^{-1}$. Sharp upper bounds are known when…
