We give the exact expressions of the partial susceptibilities $\chi^{(3)}_d$ and $\chi^{(4)}_d$ for the diagonal susceptibility of the Ising model in terms of modular forms and Calabi-Yau ODEs, and more specifically, $_3F_2([1/3,2/3,3/2],\,…

We compare and contrast results of E. Davis, of A. Bigatti, A.V. Geramita and the author, and of J. Ahn and the author. The underlying idea is that certain numerical conditions on the Hilbert function of a finite set of points in projective…

We consider the problem of recovering l-adic representations from a knowledge of the character values at the Frobenius elements associated to l-adic representations constructed algebraically out of the original representations. These…

We introduce a new type of $p$-adic hypergeometric functions, which are generalizations of $p$-adic hypergeometric functions of logarithmic type defined by Asakura, and show that these functions satisfy the congruence relations similar to…

In a paper published in 1959, Shimura presented an elegant calculation of the critical values of L-functions attached to elliptic modular forms using the first cohomology group. We will show that a similar calculation is possible for…

We study triples of graded rings defined over the deformation spaces for certain one-parameter families of Calabi-Yau threefolds. These rings are analogues of the rings of modular forms, quasi-modular forms and almost-holomorphic modular…

We state and prove a claim of Ramanujan. As a consequence, a large class of Saalchutzian hypergeometric series is summed in closed form.

Moments for hypergeometric functions over finite fields were studied in the work of Ono, Pujahari, Saad, and Saikia for several $_{2}F_{1}$ and $_{3}F_{2}$ cases. We generalize their work to prove results for new cases where the…

In 2015, Ebisu presented a new method for finding hypergeometric identities based on three-term relations for the ${}_{2} F_{1}$ hypergeometric series. By using this method, he derived almost all of the previously known hypergeometric…

With the help of hypergeometric functions over finite fields, we study some arithmetic properties of cyclotomic matrices involving characters and binary quadratic forms over finite fields. Also, we confirm some related conjectures posed by…

We show that the base spaces of the semiuniversal unfoldings of some weighted homogeneous singularities can be identified with moduli spaces of $A_\infty$-structures on the trivial extension algebras of the endomorphism algebras of the…

We show that the motive of the Hilbert scheme of length-$n$ subschemes on a K3 surface or on an abelian surface admits a decomposition similar to the decomposition of the motive of an abelian variety obtained by Shermenev, Beauville, and…

The moduli space of the Calabi-Yau three-folds, which play a role as superstring ground states, exhibits the same {\em special geometry} that is known from nonlinear sigma models in $N=2$ supergravity theories. We discuss the symmetry…

A well-known conjecture, often attributed to Serre, asserts that any motive over any number field has infinitely many ordinary reductions (in the sense that the Newton polygon coincides with the Hodge polygon). In the case of Hilbert…

In 1972 H. L. Montgomery announced a remarkable connection between the distribution of the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function and the distribution of eigenvalues of large random Hermitian matrices. Since then a number of startling…

In this paper we prove theorems related to the Ramanujan-type series for $1/\pi$ (type $_3F_2$) and to the Ramanujan-like series, discovered by the author, for $1/\pi^2$ (type $_5F_4$). Our developments for the cases $_3 F_2$ and $_5 F_4$…

We derive two general transformations for certain basic hypergeometric series from the recurrence formulae for the partial numerators and denominators of two $q$-continued fractions previously investigated by the authors. By then…

In a recent important paper, Hoffstein and Hulse generalized the notion of Rankin-Selberg convolution $L$-functions by defining shifted convolution $L$-functions. We investigate symmetrized versions of their functions. Under certain mild…

We define hypergeometric functions using intersection homology valued in a local system. Topology is emphasized; analysis enters only once, via the Hodge decomposition. By a pull-back procedure we construct special subsets S_{pi}, derived…

We explore the modularity of the continued fractions $I(\tau), J(\tau), T_1(\tau), T_2(\tau)$ and $U(\tau)=I(\tau)/J(\tau)$ of order $10$, where $I(\tau)$ and $J(\tau)$ are introduced by Rajkhowa and Saikia, which are special cases of…
