Let $\sigma(n)$ to be the sum of the positive divisors of $n$. A number is non-deficient if $\sigma(n) \geq 2n$. We establish new lower bounds for the number of distinct prime factors of an odd non-deficient number in terms of its second…

The equidistribution of the double sign patterns of the Liouville function $\lambda$ is proved unconditionally. As application, it is shown that the computable real number $$\sum_{n \geq 1} \frac{1+\lambda(n)}{2^{n}}$$ is a simply normal…

Inspired by a paper of Erik Westzynthius,we build on work of Harlan Stevens and Hans-Joachim Kanold. Let $k \gt 2$ be the number of distinct prime divisors of a positive integer $n$. In 1977, Stevens used Bonferroni inequalities to get an…

A permutation graph is a cubic graph admitting a 1-factor M whose complement consists of two chordless cycles. Extending results of Ellingham and of Goldwasser and Zhang, we prove that if e is an edge of M such that every 4-cycle containing…

We investigate fractional sums of arithmetic functions over products of two or three integers, with emphasis on fixed greatest common divisors and multiplicative weights. Let $f$ be an arithmetic function satisfying $f(n) \ll n^\alpha$ for…

A permutation P on {1,..,N} is a_fast_forward_permutation_ if for each m the computational complexity of evaluating P^m(x)$ is small independently of m and x. Naor and Reingold constructed fast forward pseudorandom cycluses and involutions.…

For a positive integer $n$, we denote by $F(n)$ the distance from $n$ to the nearest prime number. We prove that every sufficiently large positive integer $N$ can be represented as the sum $N=n_1+n_2$, where $$ F(n_i) \geqslant (\log…

We show that for every sufficiently large $n$, the number of monotone subsequences of length four in a permutation on $n$ points is at least $\binom{\lfloor n/3 \rfloor}{4} + \binom{\lfloor(n+1)/3\rfloor}{4} + \binom{\lfloor…

A positive integer n is said to be perfect if sigma(n)=2n, where sigma denotes the sum of the divisors of n. In this article, we show that if n is an even perfect number, then any integer m<=n is expressed as a sum of some of divisors of n.

We give a self-contained proof that for all positive integers $r$ and all $\epsilon > 0$, there is an integer $N = N(r, \epsilon)$ such that for all $n \ge N$ any regular multigraph of order $2n$ with multiplicity at most $r$ and degree at…

We look at sequences of positive integers that can be realized as degree sequences of iterates of rational dominant maps of smooth projective varieties over arbitrary fields. New constraints on the degree growth of endomorphisms of the…

Let $f$ and $g$ be two Hecke-Maass cusp forms of weight zero for $SL_2(\mathbb Z)$ with Laplacian eigenvalues $\frac{1}{4}+u^2$ and $\frac{1}{4}+v^2$, respectively. Then both have real Fourier coefficients say, $\lambda_f(n)$ and…

Let $N$ be a positive integer. For any positive integer $L\leq N$ and any positive divisor $r$ of $N$, we enumerate the equivalence classes of dessins d'enfants with $N$ edges, $L$ faces and two vertices whose automorphism groups are cyclic…

Let $f(n)$ be the maximum, over all graphs $G$ on $n$ vertices, of the ratio $\frac{\chi(G)}{\omega(G)}$, where $\chi(G)$ denotes the chromatic number of $G$ and $\omega(G)$ the clique number of $G$. In 1967, Erd\H{o}s showed that \[ \Big(…

In this paper, we show that a $D$-type map $\Phi_D:M_n\rightarrow M_n$ with $D=(n-2)I_n+P_{\pi_1}+P_{\pi_2}$ induced by a pair $\{\pi_1,\pi_2\}$ of permutations of $(1,2,..., n)$ is positive if $\{\pi_1,\pi_2\}$ has property (C). The…

Let $a>1$ be an integer. Denote by $l_a(n)$ the multiplicative order of $a$ modulo integer $n\geq 1$. We prove that there is a positive constant $\delta$ such that if $x^{1-\delta}\log^3 x = o(y)$, then $$ \frac1y \sum_{a<y} \frac1x…

We prove that there is a matching between 2 intervals of positive integers of the same even length, with corresponding pairs coprime, provided the intervals are in $[n]$ and their lengths are $>c(\log n)^2$, for a positive constant $c$.…

The $c_2$ invariants in all 4 different representations of the Feynman period (parametric and dual parametric representations, position and momentum spaces) coincide for all log-divergent graphs that satisfy the combinatorial condition…

For univalent and normalized functions $f$ the logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n(f)$ are determined by the formula $\log(f(z)/z)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}2\gamma_n(f)z^n$. In the paper \cite{Pon} the authors posed the conjecture that a locally…

Let $n\ge 5$ be an odd integer. It is shown that $\{1^{\sigma(1)},\ldots,n^{\sigma(n)}\}$ is a complete residue system modulo $n$ for some permutation $\sigma$ of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ if and only if $\frac{1}{2}(n-1)$ is a Sophie Germain prime.…
