Let K be a subfield of the real field, D be a discrete subset of K and f : D^n -> K be a function such that f(D^n) is somewhere dense. Then (K,f) defines the set of integers. We present several applications of this result. We show that K…
Let $C({\mathbb R}^n)$ denote the set of real valued continuous functions defined on ${\mathbb R}^n$. We prove that for every $n\ge 2$ there are positive numbers $\lambda _1 , \ldots , \lambda _n$ and continuous functions $\phi_1 ,\ldots ,…
We present outlines of a general method to reach certain kinds of $q$-multiple sum identities. Throughout our exposition, we shall give generalizations to the results given by Dilcher, Prodinger, Fu and Lascoux, Zeng, and Guo and Zhang…
Let $q\ge3$ be an integer, $\chi$ denote a Dirichlet character modulo $q$, for any real number $a\ge 0$, we define the generalized Dirichlet $L$-functions $$ L(s,\chi,a)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\chi(n)}{(n+a)^s}, $$ where $s=\sigma+it$…
The article deals with the class ${\mathcal F}_{\alpha }$ consisting of non-vanishing functions $f$ that are analytic and univalent in $\ID$ such that the complement $\IC\backslash f(\ID) $ is a convex set, $f(1)=\infty ,$ $f(0)=1$ and the…
We study the Dirichlet series associated with the integers whose radix-$b$ representation misses certain (fixed) digits. The existence of a meromorphic continuation to the entire complex plane, which was already well-known as a general fact…
Given a compact interval $I \subseteq \mathbb{R}$, and a function $f$ that is a product of a nonzero polynomial with a Gaussian, it will be shown that the translates $\{ f(\cdot - \lambda) : \lambda \in \Lambda \}$ are complete in $C(I)$ if…
Let $f : \mathbf{N} \rightarrow \mathbf{C}$ be a bounded multiplicative function. Let $a$ be a fixed integer (say $a = 1$). Then $f$ is well-distributed on the progression $n \equiv a \pmod{q} \subset \{1,\dots, X\}$, for almost all primes…
We improve bounds on the degree and sparsity of Boolean functions representing the Legendre symbol as well as on the $N$th linear complexity of the Legendre sequence. We also prove similar results for both the Liouville function for…
Let $\mathbb{M}$ be the group of multiplicative characters of a finite field $\mathbb{F}$, and let $\mathbb{J}(\alpha, \beta)$ be the Jacobi sum, for $\alpha, \beta \in \mathbb{M}$. We observe that the function $\mathbb{J} \colon \mathbb{M}…
Let $\mathcal{E}$ denote the space of entire functions with the topology of uniform convergence on compact sets. The action of $\mathbb C$ by translations on $\mathcal E$ is defined by $T_zf(w) = f(w+z)$. Let $\mathcal{U}$ denote the set of…
We formulate the generalized Sarnak's M\"obius disjointness conjecture for an arbitrary number field $K$, and prove a quantitative disjointness result between polynomial nilsequences $(\Phi(g(n)\Gamma))_{n\in\mathbb{Z}^{D}}$ and aperiodic…
Automatic sequences have many properties that other sequences (in particular, non-uniformly morphic sequences) do not necessarily share. In this paper we survey a number of different methods that can be used to prove that a given sequence…
We fully classify completely multiplicative sequences which are given by generalised polynomial formulae, and obtain a similar result for (not necessarily completely) multiplicative sequences under the additional restriction that the…
We present two results on generalized Darboux properties of additive real functions. The first results deals with a weak continuity property, called ${\bf Q}$-continuity, shared by all additive functions. We show that every ${\bf…
We prove that if $f$ is a random completely multiplicative function, conditional $f(p)=1$ for each prime $p \le (\log x)^{2-\epsilon}$, the probability that $\sum_{1\le n \le N}f(n)\ge 0$ for all $N\le x$ is $o(1)$ as $x \rightarrow…
Proving a conjecture of Miller, we show that as $n$ tends to infinity almost all entries in the character table of $S_n$ are divisible by any given prime power. This extends our earlier work which treated divisibility by primes.
A metric space $\mathbf{X}$ is called densely complete if there exists a dense set $D$ in $\mathbf{X}$ such that every Cauchy sequence of points of $D $ converges in $\mathbf{X}$. One of the main aims of this work is to prove that the…
We study non-vanishing of Dirichlet $L$-functions at the central point under the unlikely assumption that there exists an exceptional Dirichlet character. In particular we prove that if $\psi$ is a real primitive character modulo $D \in…
We give explicit expressions for the Fourier coefficients of Eisenstein series twisted by Dirichlet characters and modular symbols on $\Gamma_0(N)$ in the case where $N$ is prime and equal to the conductor of the Dirichlet character. We…
