We define a function which extends Gaussian hypergeometric series to the $p$-adic setting. This new function allows results involving Gaussian hypergeometric series to be extended to a wider class of primes. We demonstrate this by providing…

In this article, we study the Euler's factorial series $F_p(t)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty n!t^n$ in $p$-adic domain under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. First, we show that if we consider primes in $k\varphi(m)/(k+1)$ residue classes in the…

In this paper, we give an algorithm to generate connection formulas of generalized hypergeometric functions ${}_p F_{p-1}$ for degenerated values of parameters. We also show that these connection formulas give a fast method for numerical…

We study the $\Gamma$-convergence of the following functional ($p>2$) $$ F_{\epsilon}(u):=\epsilon^{p-2}\int_{\Omega}|Du|^p d(x,\partial \Omega)^{a}dx+\frac{1}{\epsilon^{\frac{p-2}{p-1}}}\int_{\Omega}W(u) d(x,\partial…

We show that generalised geometry gives a unified description of maximally supersymmetric consistent truncations of ten- and eleven-dimensional supergravity. In all cases the reduction manifold admits a "generalised parallelisation" with a…

Taking the product of (2n+1)/(2n+2) raised to the power +1 or -1 according to the n-th term of the Thue-Morse sequence gives rise to an infinite product P while replacing (2n+1)/(2n+2) with (2n)/(2n+1) yields an infinite product Q, where P…

Fix integers a_1,...,a_d satisfying a_1 + ... + a_d = 0. Suppose that f : Z_N -> [0,1], where N is prime. We show that if f is ``smooth enough'' then we can bound from below the sum of f(x_1)...f(x_d) over all solutions (x_1,...,x_d) in Z_N…

We study planar curves defined by finite Fourier series of the form $F_n(t)=\sum_{p\le n} v_p(n!)\, e^{i p t}$, where the frequencies are the prime numbers and $v_p(n!)$ denotes the exponent of the prime $p$ in the factorization of $n!$. We…

The objective of this paper is to show (a)=(b)=(c) as rational functions of $T$, $U$ for (a), (b), (c) given by (a) continued fractions of length $2^{n+1}-1$ with explicit partial denominators in $\left\{-T,U^{-1}T\right\}$, (b) truncated…

For each $n=0,1,2,\ldots$, the central trinomial coefficient $T_n$ is the coefficient of $x^n$ in the expansion of $(x^2+x+1)^n$. Let $p>3$ be a prime, and let $n$ be any positive integer. In 2016, the second author conjectured that the…

In the genus 1 case, mirror symmetry reduces to the statement that a certain family of generating functions, relating to an elliptic curve, are quasimodular. In their proof of this fact, Kaneko and Zagier used a related family of generating…

Let n be a positive odd integer and let p>n+1 be a prime. We mainly derive the following congruence: $$\sum_{0<i_1<...<i_n<p}(i_1/3)(-1)^{i_1}/(i_1...i_n)=0 (mod p).$$

We investigate the representation of a symmetric group $S_n$ on the homology of its Quillen complex at a prime $p$. For homology groups in small codimension, we derive an explicit formula for this representation in terms of the…

It is shown that the first $n$ prime numbers $p_1,...,p_n$ determine the next one by the recursion equation $$ p_{n+1} =\lim\limits_{s\to +\infty} [\prod\limits^n_{k=1} (1-\frac{1}{p^s_k}) \sum\limits^\infty_{j=1} \frac{1}{j^s} -1]^{-1/s}.…

Recently the first author proved a congruence proposed in 2006 by Adamchuk: $\sum_{k=1}^{\lfloor\frac{2p}{3}\rfloor}\binom{2k}{k}\equiv 0\pmod{p^2}$ for any prime $p=1 \pmod{3}$. In this paper, we provide more examples (with proofs) of…

Let $p$ be a prime number. Continuing and extending our previous paper with the same title, we prove explicit rates of overconvergence for modular functions of the form $\frac{E_k^{\ast}}{V(E_k^{\ast})}$ where $E_k^{\ast}$ is a classical,…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. In this paper we investigate quadratic residues modulo $p$ and related permutations, congruences and identities. If $a_1<\ldots<a_{(p-1)/2}$ are all the quadratic residues modulo $p$ among $1,\ldots,p-1$, then the…

Define $$D_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk^2x^k(x+1)^{n-k}\ \ \ \mbox{for}\ n=0,1,2,\ldots$$ and $$s_n(x)=\sum_{k=1}^n\frac1n\binom nk\binom n{k-1}x^{k-1}(x+1)^{n-k}\ \ \ \mbox{for}\ n=1,2,3,\ldots.$$ Then $D_n(1)$ is the $n$-th central Delannoy…

Let $\varepsilon>0$ be a fixed small constant, ${\mathbb F}_p$ be the finite field of $p$ elements for prime $p$. We consider additive and multiplicative problems in ${\mathbb F}_p$ that involve intervals and arbitrary sets. Representative…

We show that the existence of a non-trivial solution of $x^n+y^n=p^n$, with $p$ a prime number, is equivalent to the existence of a solution of a certain (over-determined) system of $(n-1)$-recursion relations ("zipper" equations) in…
