In this paper, we make some conjectures on prime numbers that are sharper than those found in the current literature. First we describe our studies on Legendre's Conjecture which is still unsolved. Next, we show that Brocard's Conjecture…
Bressoud introduced the partition function $B(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_\lambda;\eta,k,r;n)$, which counts the number of partitions with certain difference conditions. Bressoud posed a conjecture on the generating function for the partition…
Recently (in 2011) several new theorems concerning this conjecture were proved by Bourgain and Kontorovich. The easiest of them states that the set of numbers satisfying Zaremba's conjecture with A=50 has positive proportion in $\N.$ The…
Using the methods of classical invariant theory a general approach to finding of identities for Bernulli, Euler and Hermite polynomials is proposed.
I discuss the computational methods behind the formulation of some conjectures related to variants on Andrews' $q$-Dyson conjecture.
We prove that for $k\ge 1$, all coefficients in the expansion of the series $$\sum_{n\ge 0} \frac{(q^{2n+2}, q^{2n+2k}; q^2)_\infty}{(q^{2n+1};q^2)_\infty^2} q^{2n}$$ are positive, by $q$-hypergeometric means. This confirms a recent…
In a recent work, Andrews gave analytic proofs of two conjectures concerning some variations of two combinatorial identities between partitions of a positive integer into odd parts and partitions into distinct parts discovered by Beck.…
Characterizing in a constructive way the set of real functions whose Fourier transforms are positive appears to be yet an open problem. Some sufficient conditions are known but they are far from being exhaustive. We propose two constructive…
We prove polynomial identities for the N=1 superconformal model SM(2,4\nu) which generalize and extend the known Fermi/Bose character identities. Our proof uses the q-trinomial coefficients of Andrews and Baxter on the bosonic side and a…
We give combinatorial proofs of $q$-Stirling identities using restricted growth words. This includes a poset theoretic proof of Carlitz's identity, a new proof of the $q$-Frobenius identity of Garsia and Remmel and of Ehrenborg's Hankel…
Restricting ourselves to elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$, we reformulate the $p$-adic Beilinson conjecture due to Perrin-Riou, which is customized to our computational approach. We then develop a new algorithm for numerical verifications…
In the present work, we investigate real numbers whose sequence of partial quotients enjoys some combinatorial properties involving the notion of palindrome. We provide three new transendence criteria, that apply to a broad class of…
We associate to every matroid M a polynomial with integer coefficients, which we call the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of M, in analogy with Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials in representation theory. We conjecture that the coefficients are always…
We improve the Chebotarev variant of the Brun-Titchmarsh theorem proven by Lagarias, Montgomery, and Odlyzko using the log-free zero density estimate and zero repulsion phenomenon for Hecke L-functions that were recently proved by the…
In 1993, E. Lesigne proved a polynomial extension of the Wiener-Wintner ergodic theorem and asked two questions: does this result have a uniform counterpart and can an assumption of total ergodicity be replaced by ergodicity? The purpose of…
By combining the Gessel--Xin method with plethystic substitutions, we obtain a recursion for a symmetric function generalization of the $q$-Dyson constant term identity also known as the Zeilberger--Bressoud $q$-Dyson theorem. This yields a…
Let $n,p,k$ be three positive integers. We prove that the rational fractions of $q$: $${n \brack k}_{q} {}_3\phi_{2} [ . {matrix}q^{1-k},q^{-p},q^{p-n} q,q^{1-n} {matrix}| q;q^{k+1}]\quad\textrm{and}\quad q^{(n-p)p}\qbi{n}{k}{q} {}_3\phi_2[…
In this paper, we use two $q$-operators $\mathbb{T}(a,b,c,d,e,yD_x)$ and $\mathbb{E}(a,b,c,d,e,y\theta_x)$ to derive two potentially useful generalizations of the $q$-binomial theorem, a set of two extensions of the $q$-Chu-Vandermonde…
Smith normal form evaluations found by Bessenrodt and Stanley for some Hankel matrices of q-Catalan numbers are proven in two ways. One argument generalizes the Bessenrodt-Stanley results for the Smith normal form of a certain multivariate…
In this paper, we confirm six conjectures on the exact values of some permanents, relating them to the Genocchi numbers of the first and second kinds as well as the Euler numbers. For example, we prove that…
