We study the set D of positive integers d for which the equation $\phi(a)-\phi(b)=d$ has infinitely many solution pairs (a,b), where $\phi$ is Euler's totient function. We show that the minumum of D is at most 154, exhibit a specific A so…

For a periodic function $f$ with bounded variation and integral zero on its period interval, we show that $\sum_{k=1}^\infty c_k^2 (\log\log k)^\gamma <\infty$, $\gamma>4$ implies the almost everywhere convergence of $\sum_{k=1}^\infty c_k…

Let $F$ be a Hecke-Maass cusp form for $\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{Z})$ and $A(m,n)$ be its normalized Fourier coefficients. Let $V$ be a smooth function, compactly supported on $[1,2]$ and satisfying $V(y)^{j} \ll_j y^{-j}$ for any $j \in…

We prove that the set of limit points of the set of all spectral gaps of closed arithmetic hyperbolic surfaces equals $[0,\frac{1}{4}]$.

Consider an irreducible finite Coxeter system. We show that for any nonnegative integer n the sum of the nth powers of the Coxeter exponents can be written uniformly as a polynomial in four parameters: h (the Coxeter number), r (the rank),…

In this paper we give unified formulas for the numbers of representations of positive integers as sums of four generalized $m$-gonal numbers, and as restricted sums of four squares under a linear condition, respectively. These formulas are…

A gapset is the complement of a numerical semigroup in N. In this paper, we characterize all gapsets of multiplicity m $\le$ 4. As a corollary, we provide a new simpler proof that the number of gapsets of genus g and fixed multiplicity m…

It is widely believed that the parity of the partition function $p(n)$ is ``random.'' Contrary to this expectation, in this note we prove the existence of infinitely many congruence relations modulo 4 among its values. For each square-free…

A discussion involving the evaluation of the sum $$\sum_{T<\g\le T+H}|\zeta(1/2+i\gamma)|^2$$ and some related integrals is presented, where $\gamma\,(>0)$ denotes imaginary parts of complex zeros of the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$. It…

The problem of representing a given positive integer as a sum of four squares of integers has been widely concerned for a long time, and for a given positive odd $n$ one can find a representation by doing arithmetic in a maximal order of…

Let $\Delta(x)$ and $E(x)$ be error terms of the sum of divisor function and the mean square of the Riemann zeta function, respectively. In this paper their fourth power moments for short intervals of Jutila's type are considered. We get an…

Let Q(4n,d) be the sum of all multiple zeta values of depth d and weight 4n whose arguments are all multiples of 4. In this paper we derive a formula of Q(4n,d) for all d>2 as a finite sum involving binomial coefficients, Bernoulli numbers…

We obtain the explicit rate of convergence $N^{-1/2 + \epsilon}$ for the gaps of generalized Wigner matrices in the bulk of the spectrum, for distributions of matrix entries possibly atomic and supported on enough points. The proof proceeds…

A sequence $S$ is potentially $K_4-e$ graphical if it has a realization containing a $K_4-e$ as a subgraph. Let $\sigma(K_4-e, n)$ denote the smallest degree sum such that every $n$-term graphical sequence $S$ with $\sigma(S)\geq…

Let $\gamma_0=\frac{\sqrt5-1}{2}=0.618\ldots$ . We prove that, for any $\varepsilon>0$ and any trigonometric polynomial $f$ with frequencies in the set $\{n^2: N \leqslant n\leqslant N+N^{\gamma_0-\varepsilon}\}$, the inequality $$ \|f\|_4…

A short and elementary proof, and a finite-form generalization, are given of Jacobi's formula for the number of ways of writing an integer as a sum of four squares (that implies Lagrange's famous 1777 theorem.)

In this paper, we consider representations of integers as sums of at most four distinct $m$-gonal numbers (allowing a fixed number of repeats of each polygonal number occurring in the sum). We show that the number of such representations…

We prove that for every integer $d \ge 2$ there exists a dense collection of subsets of $[n]^d$ such that no two of them have a symmetric difference that may be written as the $d$th power of a union of at most $\lfloor d/2 \rfloor$…

In this paper, it is established that every sufficiently large positive integer $n$ subject to $n\equiv0\pmod2$ can be represented as a sum of one square of prime and seventeen fifth powers of primes, which gives an enhancement upon the…

Several years ago the second author playing with different "recognizers of real constants", e.g., the LLL algorithm, the Plouffe inverter, etc. found empirically the following formula. Let $p_n/q_n$ denote the $n$th convergent of the…
