We show that if $\mathcal{L}_1$ and $\mathcal{L}_2$ are linear transformations from $\mathbb{Z}^d$ to $\mathbb{Z}^d$ satisfying certain mild conditions, then, for any finite subset $A$ of $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $$|\mathcal{L}_1 A+\mathcal{L}_2…

We introduce a general definition of almost $p$-summing mappings and give several concrete examples of such mappings. Some known results are considerably generalized and we present various situations in which the space of almost $p$-summing…

An analogue of Taylor's formula, which arises by substituting the classical derivative by a divided difference operator of Askey-Wilson type, is developed here. We study the convergence of the associated Taylor series. Our results…

We establish estimates for short character sums to prime power moduli evaluated at binary quadratic forms. This complements estimates established by Heath-Brown for such character sums to squarefree moduli. Our approach uses $p$-adic…

The Stieltjes constants $\gamma_k$ appear in the regular part of the Laurent expansion of the Riemman and Hurwitz zeta functions. We demonstrate that these coefficients may be written as certain summations over mathematical constants and…

Using generalized hypergeometric functions to perform symbolic manipulation of equations is of great importance to pure and applied scientists. There are in the literature a great number of identities for the Meijer-G function. On the other…

In this paper, we recall hypergeometric functions $\mathscr{F}^{\rm Dw}_{a_1,\cdots,a_s}(t),$ $\mathscr{F}^{(\sigma)}_{a_1,\cdots,a_s}(t)$, $\widehat{\mathscr{F}}^{(\sigma)}_{a,\cdots,a}(t)$ and their transformation formulas. Then we prove…

We explore a method which is implicit in a paper of Burkholder of identifying the $H^2$ Hardy norm of a conformal map with the explicit solution of Dirichlet's problem in the complex plane. Using the series form of the Hardy norm, we obtain…

Representation of analytic functions as convergent series in Jacobi polynomials $P_n^{(a,b)}$ is reformulated using a unified approach for almost all complex $a, b$. The coefficients of the series are given as usual integrals in the…

An analogue of the Gauss-Lucas theorem for polynomials over the algebraic closure $\mathbb C_p$ of the field of $p$-adic numbers is considered.

We give a new definition of a $p$-adic $L$-function for a mixed signature character of a real quadratic field and for a nontrivial ray class character of an imaginary quadratic field. We then state a $p$-adic Stark conjecture for this…

By using contiguous relations for basic hypergeometric series, we give simple proofs of Bailey's $_4\phi_3$ summation, Carlitz's $_5\phi_4$ summation, Sears' $_3\phi_2$ to $_5\phi_4$ transformation, Sears' ${}_4\phi_3$ transformations,…

The purpose of this article is to newly define the $p$-adic polylogarithm as an equivariant class in the cohomology of a certain infinite disjoint union of algebraic tori associated to a totally real field. We will then express the special…

We obtain a formula for the $p$-adic valuation of weighted moments of central $L$-values of holomorphic cusp forms twisted by Dirichlet characters of order $p$. In some cases we give an arithmetic interpretation of the constants in the…

Recent progress in analytical calculation of the multiple [inverse, binomial, harmonic] sums, related with epsilon-expansion of the hypergeometric function of one variable are discussed.

The Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula was recently resummed exactly in one variable, and left as a power series in the other (Moodie and Long 2021 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 54 015208). The coefficients of the power series were provided as a…

This is a report on recent work, with Wen-Ching Winnie Li and Ling Long. In that work explicit formulas are given, involving hypergeometric character sums, for the traces of Hecke operators $T_p$ acting spaces of cusp forms $S_k(\Gamma)$ of…

We report on implementations for algorithms treating algebraic and arithmetic properties of hypergeometric functions in the computer algebra system SageMath. We treat hypergeometric series over the rational numbers, over finite fields, and…

Let $p$ be a prime. In this paper, we present a detailed $p$-adic analysis to factorials and double factorials and their congruences. We give good bounds for the $p$-adic sizes of the coefficients of the divided universal Bernoulli number…
