For any $n\in\mathbb{N}=\{0,1,2,\ldots\}$ and $b,c\in\mathbb{Z}$, the generalized central trinomial coefficient $T_n(b,c)$ denotes the coefficient of $x^n$ in the expansion of $(x^2+bx+c)^n$. Let $p$ be an odd prime. In this paper, we…

In this paper, we consider normalized newforms $f\in S_k(\Gamma_0(N),\varepsilon_f)$ whose non-constant term Fourier coefficients are congruent to those of an Eisenstein series modulo some prime ideal above a rational prime $p$. In this…

We prove a version of both Jacobi's and Montel's Theorems for the case of continuous functions defined over the field $\mathbb{Q}_p$ of $p$-adic numbers. In particular, we prove that, if \[ \Delta_{h_0}^{m+1}f(x)=0 \ \ \text{for all}…

We primarily investigate congruences modulo $p$ for finite sums of the form $\sum_k\binom{rk}{k}x^k/k$ over the ranges $0<k<p$ and $0<k<p/r$, where $p$ is a prime larger than the positive integer $r$. Here $x$ is an indeterminate, thus…

For a prime $p\equiv 3$ $(\text{mod }4)$, let $h(-8p)$ and $h(8p)$ be the class numbers of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-2p})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2p})$, respectively. Let $\Psi(\xi)$ be the Hirzebruch sum of a quadratic irrational $\xi$. We show…

The main purpose of this paper is to provide a novel approach to deriving formulas for the p-adic q-integral including the Volkenborn integral and the p-adic fermionic integral. By applying integral equations and these integral formulas to…

Continued fraction expansions provide a well-established bridge between algebraic properties of numbers and combinatorics on words. In this article, we investigate the algebraicity of $p$-adic numbers whose continued fractions arise from…

The search for values of $p$ for which the Harmonic numbers $H_{\lfloor p/6 \rfloor}$ vanish mod $p$, carried to $p < 600,000$ by Schwindt in 1983, is extended here to $p < 149,250,000,000,000$, and two new solutions are reported. (These…

In this paper we investigate congruence relationships of particular finite generalized harmonic numbers sums. We suggest more transparent and simpler method to analyse these sums and present several additional results for certain special…

In 2022, Z.-W. Sun defined \begin{equation*} w_k^{(\alpha)}{(x)}=\sum_{j=1}^{k}w(k,j)^{\alpha}x^{j-1}, \end{equation*} where $k,\alpha$ are positive integers and $w(k,j)=\frac{1}{j}\binom{k-1}{j-1}\binom{k+j}{j-1}$. Let $(x)_{0}=1$ and…

For each positive integer n, we determine the set of symmetric functions f for which the congruence f(p/1,p/2,...,p/(p-1)) \equiv 0 mod p^n holds for all sufficiently large primes p. Our determination is conditional on a conjecture…

In this paper, we prove some supercongruences concerning truncated hypergeometric series. For example, we show that for any prime $p>3$ and positive integer $r$, $$ \sum_{k=0}^{p^r-1}(3k+1)\frac{(\frac12)_k^3}{(1)_k^3}4^k\equiv…

We study $p$-harmonic functions, $ 1 < p\neq 2 < \infty$, in $ \mathbb{R}^{2}_+ = \{ z = x + i y : y > 0, - \infty < x < \infty \} $ and $B( 0, 1 ) = \{ z : |z| < 1 \}$. We first show for fixed $ p$, $1 < p\neq 2 < \infty$, and for all…

Let $\{A'_n\}$ be the Ap\'ery numbers given by $A'_n=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk^2\binom{n+k}k.$ For any prime $p\equiv 3\pmod 4$ we show that $A'_{\frac{p-1}2}\equiv \frac{p^2}3\binom{\frac{p-3}2}{\frac{p-3}4}^{-2}\pmod {p^3}$. Let $\{t_n\}$ be…

We prove exact asymptotic expansions for the partial sums of the sequences of central binomial coefficients and Catalan numbers, $\sum_{k=0}^n \binom{2k}{k}$ and $\sum_{k=0}^n C_n$. We also obtain closed forms for the polynomials…

We show that the $p$-adic completion of any affine elliptic curve with ordinary reduction possesses Frobenius lifts whose "normalized" action on $1$-forms preserves mod $p$ the space of invariant $1$-forms. We next show that, after removing…

Continued fractions have been long studied due to their strong properties, such as rational approximation. In this extent, their arithmetic over real numbers has represented an intriguing problem throughout the years. In this paper, we…

In this paper, we study the set of absolute continuity of p-harmonic measure, $\mu$, and $(n-1)-$dimensional Hausdorff measure, $\mathcal{H}^{n-1}$, on locally flat domains in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, $n\geq 2$. We prove that for fixed $p$ with…

In this paper, using the well-known Karlsson-Minton formula, we mainly establish two divisibility results concerning truncated hypergeometric series. Let $n>2$ and $q>0$ be integers with $2\mid n$ or $2\nmid q$. We show that…
