A conjecture of Ramanujan that was later proved by Nagell is used to show on the basis of matching dimensions that only three $n$-qubit systems, for $n=1, 2, 6$, can share an isomorphism of their symmetry groups with the rotation group of…

For an integer \( k \geq 2 \), the sequence of \( k \)-generalized Lucas numbers is defined by the recurrence relation \( L_n^{(k)} = L_{n-1}^{(k)} + \cdots + L_{n-k}^{(k)} \) for all \( n \geq 2 \), with initial conditions \( L_0^{(k)} = 2…

By an $abc$ triple, we mean a triple $(a,b,c)$ of relatively prime positive integers $a,b,$ and $c$ such that $a+b=c$ and $\operatorname{rad}(abc)<c$, where $\operatorname{rad}(n)$ denotes the product of the distinct prime factors of $n$.…

The tensor square conjecture states that for $n \geq 10$, there is an irreducible representation $V$ of the symmetric group $S_n$ such that $V \otimes V$ contains every irreducible representation of $S_n$. Our main result is that for large…

Is it possible to distinguish algebraic from transcendental real numbers by considering the $b$-ary expansion in some base $b\ge2$? In 1950, \'E. Borel suggested that the answer is no and that for any real irrational algebraic number $x$…

For an integer $k\geq 2$, let $(L_{n}^{(k)})_{n}$ be the $k-$generalized Lucas sequence which starts with $0,\ldots,0,2,1$ ($k$ terms) and each term afterwards is the sum of the $k$ preceding terms. In this paper, we find all the integers…

Representation theory of finite groups portrays a marvelous crossroad of group theory, algebraic combinatorics, and probability. In particular the Plancherel measure is a probability that arises naturally from representation theory, and in…

We investigate the asymptotic formula for the number of representations of a large positive integer as a sum of $k$-th powers of integers represented as the sums of three positive cubes, counted with multiplicities. We also obtain a lower…

A new notion of typicality for arbitrary probability measures on standard Borel spaces is proposed, which encompasses the classical notions of weak and strong typicality as special cases. Useful lemmas about strong typical sets, including…

Generalised Pythagorean triples are integer tuples $(x,y,z)$ satisfying the equation $E_{a,b,c}: ax^2+by^2+cz^2=0$. A significant amount of research has been devoted towards understanding generalised Pythagorean triples and, in particular,…

Given a differential or $q$-difference equation $P$ of order $n$, we prove that the set of exponents of a generalized power series solution has its rational rank bounded by the rational rank of the support of $P$ plus $n$. We also prove…

Problem 2 at the 56th International Mathematical Olympiad (2015) asks for all triples (a,b,c) of positive integers for which ab-c, bc-a, and ca-b are all powers of 2. We show that this problem requires only a primitive form of arithmetic,…

We establish a general principle which states that regularizing an inverse problem with a convex function yields solutions which are convex combinations of a small number of atoms. These atoms are identified with the extreme points and…

Using a general $q$-series expansion, we derive some nontrivial $q$-formulas involving many infinite products. A multitude of Hecke--type series identities are derived. Some general formulas for sums of any number of squares are given. A…

Let $\overline{p}_{j,k}(n)$ denotes the number of $(j,k)$-regular overpartitions of a positive integer $n$ such that none of the parts is congruent to $j$ modulo $k$. Naika et. al. (2021) proved infinite families of congruences modulo…

Generalized octagonal numbers are those $p_8(x)=x(3x-2)$ with $x\in\mathbb Z$. In this paper we mainly show that every positive integer can be written as the sum of four generalized octagonal numbers one of which is odd. This result is…
