We consider differences of one- and two-variable finite products and provide combinatorial proofs of the nonnegativity of certain coefficients. Since the products may be interpreted as generating functions for certain integer partitions,…

We prove that for any positive integer c there are at least N(c), $1\leq N(c) < \phi(c)/2$ representations of c as a sum of two positive integers a, b, with no common divisor, such that the N(c) radicals R(abc) are all greater than kc,…

Recently, Andrews and EI Bachraoui discovered several companions for some famous $q$-series formulas, and derived some new identities involving partitions and overpartitions with distinct parts. In this paper, we shall refine their results…

The aim of this work is to provide formulae for the subdifferential and the conjungate function of the supremun function over an arbitrary family of functions. The work is principally motivated by the case when data functions are lower…

In his book Topics in Analytic Number Theory, Rademacher considered the generating function of partitions into at most $N$ parts, and conjectured certain limits for the coefficients of its partial fraction decomposition. We carry out an…

We give a new local proof of the Breuil-M\'ezard conjecture in the case of a reducible representation of the absolute Galois group of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, $p>2$, that has scalar semi-simplification, via a formalism of Pa\v{s}k\=unas.

This note considers reciprocal of primes in binary representation and shows that the conjecture that 0s exceed 1s in most cases continues to hold for primes less one million. The conjecture has also been tested for ternary representation…

Andrews and Keith recently produced a general Schmidt type partition theorem using a novel interpretation of Stockhofe's bijection, which they used to find new $q$-series identities. This includes an identity for a trivariate 2-colored…

In the paper, we find out the precise form of the finite order entire solutions of the following differential-difference equation \[f^{(k)}(z)=\sideset{}{^n_{j=0}}{\sum} a_j f(z+jc),\] where $a_0, a_1,\ldots,a_n(\neq 0)\in\mathbb{C}$. Also…

In this paper, the generalized Bloch Conjecture on zero cycles for the quotient of certain complete intersections with trivial canonical bundle is proved to hold. As an application of Bloch-Srinivas method on the decomposition of the…

Let $\lambda_\mathbb{K}(m)$ denote the maximal absolute projection constant over the subspaces of dimension $m$. Apart from the trivial case for $ m=1$, the only known value of $\lambda_\mathbb{K}(m)$ is for $ m=2$ and…

Reiner, Shaw and van Willigenburg showed that if two skew Schur functions s_A and s_B are equal, then the skew shapes A and B must have the same "row overlap partitions." Here we show that these row overlap equalities are also implied by a…

Andrews introduced the partition function $\overline{C}_{k, i}(n)$, called singular overpartition, which counts the number of overpartitions of $n$ in which no part is divisible by $k$ and only parts $\equiv \pm i\pmod{k}$ may be overlined.…

Ballantine--Beck--Feigon--Maurischat introduced the subsum polynomial \[ \operatorname{sp}(\lambda,x):=\prod_i (1+x^{\lambda_i}) \] attached to an integer partition $\lambda$, and studied rational functions obtained by summing reciprocals…

A family of disjoint pairs of finite sets $\mathcal{P}=\{(A_i,B_i)\mid i\in[m]\}$ is called a Bollob\'as system if $A_i\cap B_j\neq\emptyset$ for every $i\neq j$, and a skew Bollob\'as system if $A_i\cap B_j\neq\emptyset$ for every $i<j$.…

It is conjectured that the dual variety of every smooth nonlinear subvariety of dimension $> \frac{2N}{3}$ in projective $N$-space is a hypersurface, an expectation known as the duality defect conjecture. This would follow from the truth of…

Let $p_{o}(n)$ (resp. $p_{e}(n)$) denote the number of partitions of $n$ with more odd parts (resp. even parts) than even parts (resp. odd parts). Recently, Kim, Kim, and Lovejoy proved that $p_{o}(n)>p_{e}(n)$ for all $n>2$ and conjectured…

Bessenrodt and Ono initially found the strict log-subadditivity of partition function $p(n)$, that is, $p(a+b)< p(a)p(b)$ for $a,b>1$ and $a+b>9$. Many other important statistics of partitions are proved to enjoy similar properties. Lovejoy…

As an application of the Combinatorial Nullstellensatz, we give a short polynomial proof of the q-analogue of Dyson's conjecture formulated by Andrews and first proved by Zeilberger and Bressoud.

Let $f_r(x)=\log(1+rx)/\log(1+x)$ for $x>0$. We prove that $f_r$ is a complete Bernstein function for $0\le r\le 1$ and a Stieltjes function for $1\le r$. This answers a conjecture of David Bradley that $f_r$ is a Bernstein function when…
