We prove that five ways to define entry A086377 in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences do lead to the same integer sequence.

I revisit Bressoud's generalised Borwein conjecture. Making use of certain positivity-preserving transformations for q-binomial coefficients, I establish the truth of infinitely many new cases of the Bressoud conjecture. In addition, I…

We continue the analysis of the Modular Isomorphism Problem for $2$-generated $p$-groups with cyclic derived subgroup, $p>2$, started in [D. Garc\'ia-Lucas, \'A. del R\'io, and M. Stanojkovski. On group invariants determined by modular…

This is the write-up of a talk given in honour of Prof. Ihara's 80th Birthday conference in Kyoto in 2018. After briefly reviewing the work of Ihara on the projective line minus 3 points, I outline the main ideas in the proof of the…

We establish infinite families of congruences modulo arbitrary powers of $2$ for the three restricted partition functions $M(n), T^\ast(n)$, and $P^\ast(n)$ introduced by Pushpa and Vasuki by employing elementary $q$-series techniques.…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\pi$ be a set of primes. We show that if the number of conjugacy classes of $\pi$-elements in $G$ is larger than $5/8$ times the $\pi$-part of $|G|$ then $G$ possesses an abelian Hall $\pi$-subgroup which…

We study modular forms of some congruence subgroups. In this paper, we treat the cases level is 2-power, 3-power or 5. Structures of graded rings and many identities of infinite sum or infinite product are given. Theory of rational (1/3,…

The decimal digits of $\pi$ are widely believed to behave like as statistically independent random variables taking the values $0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5$, $6, 7, 8, 9$ with equal probabilities $1/10$. In this article, first, another similar…

We provide a simplified approach to the the stable Hopf invariant. We provide short elementary proofs of the Cartan Formula, the Composition Formula, and the Transfer formula. In addition, when $\pi$ is a discrete group, we show how to…

We introduce the notion of $\pi$-cosupport as a new tool for the stable module category of a finite group scheme. In the case of a finite group, we use this to give a new proof of the classification of tensor ideal localising subcategories.…

An unresolved conjecture by Graham Higman states that for all $n\geq 1$ the number of conjugacy classes of the group of $n \times n$ unitriangular matrices with entries in the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is a polynomial in $q$. In this…

Let $M$ and $N$ be fixed non-negative integer numbers and let $\pi_N$ be a polynomial of degree $N$. Suppose that $(P_n)_{n\geq0}$ and $(Q_n)_{n\geq0}$ are two orthogonal polynomial sequences such that %their derivatives of orders $k$ and…

A conjecture connected with quantum physics led N. Katz to discover some amazing mixed character sum identities over a field of q elements, where q is a power of a prime p > 3. His proof required deep algebro-geometric techniques, and he…

An investigation of the comparative efficiency of the different methods in which {\pi} is cal- culated. This thesis will compare and contrast five different methods in calculating {\pi} by first deriving the various proofs to each method…

We prove that for any prime $p$ there is a divisible by $p$ number $q = O(p^{30})$ such that for a certain positive integer $a$ coprime with $q$ the ratio $a/q$ has bounded partial quotients. In the other direction we show that there is an…

Nesterenko proved, among other results, the algebraic independence over $\QQ$ of the numbers $\pi,e^{\pi},\Gamma(1/4)$. A very important feature of his proof is a multiplicity estimate for quasi-modular forms associated to $\SL_2(\ZZ)$…

Let $\pi$ be a finite $p$-group and $\mathbb{F}_q$ a finite field with $q=p^n$ elements. Denote by $\mathrm{I}_{\mathbb{F}_q}$ the augmentation ideal of the group ring $\mathbb{F}_q[\pi]$. We have found a surprising relation between the…

Let $G$ be the group of $\mathbb R$--points of a semisimple algebraic group $\mathcal G$ defined over $\mathbb Q$. Assume that $G$ is connected and noncompact. We study Fourier coefficients of Poincar\' e series attached to matrix…

It is well known that for any prime $p\equiv 3$ (mod $4$), the class numbers of the quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{p})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p})$, $h(p)$ and $h(-p)$ respectively, are odd. It is natural to ask whether there is a…

Let $\pi$ be a regular algebraic cuspidal automorphic representation of ${\rm GL}_n({\mathbb A}_F)$ for a number field $F$. We consider certain periods attached to $\pi$. These periods were originally defined by Harder when $n=2$, and later…
