Does $14$ have a friend? Until now, this has been an open question. In this note, we prove that a potential friend $F$ of $14$ is an odd, non-square positive integer. $7$ appears in the prime factorization of $F$ with an even exponent while…
A modified Dirichlet character $f$ is a completely multiplicative function such that for some Dirichlet character $\chi$, $f(p)=\chi(p)$ for all but a finite number of primes $p\in S$, and for those exceptional primes $p\in S$, $|f(p)|\leq…
In this paper we generalize the famous Jacobi's triple product identity, considered as an identity for theta functions with characteristics and their derivatives, to higher genus/dimension. By applying the results and methods developed in…
A suggestion is put forward regarding a partial proof of FLT(case1), which is elegant and simple enough to have caused Fermat's enthusiastic remark in the margin of his Bachet edition of Diophantus' "Arithmetica". It is based on an…
In this article, we study special values of the Dedekind zeta function over an imaginary quadratic field. The values of the Dedekind zeta function at any even integer over any totally real number field is quite well known in literature. In…
We present a generalization of the classical Nicomachus' identity for the sum of the first $n$ cubes. Unlike previous generalizations, it has three rather than two terms, and involves not just one, but two distinct triangular numbers, and…
We determine the squarefree part of the scalar factor that arises when the quartic invariant of the generic binary form $F$ of odd degree $2n+1$ is expressed as the discriminant of the unique quadratic covariant $(F,F)_{2n}$. This…
Let $p(n)$ be the ordinary partition function. In the 1960s Atkin found a number of examples of congruences of the form $p( Q^3 \ell n+\beta)\equiv0\pmod\ell$ where $\ell$ and $Q$ are prime and $5\leq \ell\leq 31$; these lie in two natural…
As a by-product of a finite-size Bethe Ansatz calculation in statistical mechanics, Doochul Kim has established, by an indirect route, three mathematical identities rather similar to the conjugate modulus relations satisfied by the elliptic…
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…
Using a summation identity obtained for the Fourier coefficients of $x^{2k}$, we derive a closed form expression for the zeta function at even positive integers, using a technique similar to one in an existing proof by Aladdi and Defant[1],…
We state and prove various new identities involving the Z_K parafermion characters (or level-K string functions) for the cases K=4, K=8, and K=16. These identities fall into three classes: identities in the first class are generalizations…
We present an algorithmic approach to the verification of identities on multiple theta functions in the form of products of theta functions $[(-1)^{\delta}a_1^{\alpha_1}a_2^{\alpha_2}\cdots a_r^{\alpha_r}q^{s}; q^{t}]_\infty$, where…
An ordinary character $\chi $ of a finite group is called orthogonally stable, if all non-degenerate invariant quadratic forms on any module affording the character $\chi $ have the same discriminant. This is the orthogonal discriminant,…
Let $\chi$ be a primitive character modulo $q$, and let $\delta > 0$. Assuming that $\chi$ has large order $d$, for any $d$th root of unity $\alpha$ we obtain non-trivial upper bounds for the number of $n \leq x$ such that $\chi(n) =…
Every character on a graded connected Hopf algebra decomposes uniquely as a product of an even character and an odd character (Aguiar, Bergeron, and Sottile, math.CO/0310016). We obtain explicit formulas for the even and odd parts of the…
The principal aim of this note is to illustrate how factorizations of singular, even-order partial differential operators yield an elementary approach to classical inequalities of Hardy-Rellich-type. More precisly, introducing the…
We consider sums of the form $$F_\chi(\alpha,\beta;\theta) := \sum_{\alpha p<n\le\beta p}\chi(n)e(n\theta),$$ where $\chi$ is a non-principal Dirichlet character modulo a prime number $p$. We prove that $$ \sqrt p \log \log p \ll \max_{0…
We introduce two remarkable identities written in terms of single commutators and anticommutators for any three elements of arbitrary associative algebra. One is a consequence of other (fundamental identity). From the fundamental identity,…
In 1991, the Borweins established a cubic analogue of Jacobi's identity for theta functions, which is used by B.C. Berndt, S. Bhargava, and F.G. Garvan in the development of Ramanujan's cubic theory of elliptic functions. In 2013, D.…
