A series of conjectures is obtained as further investigation of the integral transformation I(alpha) introduced in the previous paper. A Macdonald-type difference operator D is introduced. It is conjectured that D and I(alpha) are…
Riemann zeta function is important in a lot of branches of number theory. With the help of the operator method and several transformation formulas for hypergeometric series, we prove four series involving Riemann zeta function. Two of them…
In this paper we collect over 150 new series identities (involving binomial coefficients) conjectured by the author in 2026. The values involved are related to $\pi$ or Riemann's zeta function or Dirichlet's $L$-function. For example, we…
Elliptic Macdonald polynomials of sl(2)-type and level 2 are introduced. Suitable limits of elliptic Macdonald polynomials are the standard Macdonald polynomials and conformal blocks. Identities for elliptic Macdonald polynomials, in…
We study a certain class of arithmetic functions that appeared in Klurman's classification of $\pm 1$ multiplicative functions with bounded partial sums, c.f., Comp. Math. 153 (8), 2017, pp. 1622-1657. These functions are periodic and…
By using the Wilf-Zeilberger method, we prove a novel finite combinatorial identity related to a bivariate generating function for $\zeta(2+r+2s)$ (an extension of a Bailey-Borwein-Bradley Apery-like formula for even zeta values). Such…
We give bounds for the module sectional category of products of maps which generalise a theorem of Jessup for Lusternik-Schnirelmann category. We deduce also a proof of a Ganea type conjecture for topological complexity. This is a first…
We introduce a cohomology theory for a class of projective varieties over a finite field coming from the canonical trace on a C*-algebra attached to the variety. Using the cohomology, we prove the rationality, functional equation and the…
Numerous novel integral and series representations for Ferrers functions of the first kind (associated Legendre functions on the cut) of arbitrary degree and order, various integral, series and differential relations connecting Ferrers…
An extension of two finite trigonometric series is studied to derive closed form formulae involving the Hurwitz-Lerch zeta function. The trigonometric series involves angles with a geometric series involving the powers of 3. These closed…
We give a new proof of the identity $\zeta(\{2,1\}^l)=\zeta(\{3\}^l)$ of the multiple zeta values, where $l=1,2,\dots$, using generating functions of the underlying generalized polylogarithms. In the course of study we arrive at…
We prove certain conjecture holds true for a finite category which has M\"obius inversion. The conjecture states a relationship between the zeta function of a finite category and the Euler characteristic of a finite category.
In this paper we are concerned with a Gordan-type theorem involving an arbitrary number of inequality functions. We not only state its validity under a weak convexity assumption on the functions, but also show it is an optimal result. We…
We derive closed-form expressions for several new classes of Hurwitzian- and Tasoevian continued fractions, including $[0;\overline{p-1,1,u(a+2nb)-1,p-1,1,v(a+(2n+1)b)-1 }\,\,]_{n=0}^\infty$, $[0; \overline{c + d m^{n}}]_{n=1}^{\infty}$ and…
We develop the ratios conjecture with one shift in the numerator and denominator in certain ranges for families of primitive quadratic Hecke $L$-functions of imaginary quadratic number fields with class number one using multiple Dirichlet…
We formulate and discuss a conjecture which would extend a classical inequality of Bernstein.
Extending Sellers' result, Das et al. recently proved some congruence results for generalized overcubic partitions using theta functions and posed some related conjectures. In this paper, we provide a combinatorial proof of a result in…
We define the zeta function of a finite category. And we propose a conjecture which states the relationship between the Euler characteristic of finite categories and the zeta function of finite categories. This conjecture is verified when…
In this paper, we prove a new identity for values of the Hurwitz zeta function which contains as particular cases Koecher's identity for odd zeta values, the Bailey-Borwein-Bradley identity for even zeta values and many other interesting…
A generalization of the Macdonald polynomials depending upon both commuting and anticommuting variables has been introduced recently. The construction relies on certain orthogonality and triangularity relations. Although many…
