We study some arithmetic properties of the Ramanujan function $\tau(n)$, such as the largest prime divisor $P(\tau(n))$ and the number of distinct prime divisors $\omega(\tau(n))$ of $\tau(n)$ for various sequences of $n$. In particular, we…

One can associate to any bivariate polynomial P(X,Y) its Newton polygon. This is the convex hull of the points (i,j) such that the monomial X^i Y^j appears in P with a nonzero coefficient. We conjecture that when P is expressed as a sum of…

In this paper we prove four cases of the vanishing conjecture of differential operators with constant coefficients and also a conjecture on the Laurent polynomials with no holomorphic parts, which were proposed in [Zh3] by the third named…

We conjecture a structure formula for the $\mathrm{SU}(r)$ Vafa-Witten partition function for surfaces with holomorphic 2-form. The conjecture is based on $S$-duality and a structure formula for the vertical contribution previously derived…

A number of mathematical methods have been shown to model the zeroes of $L$-functions with remarkable success, including the Ratios Conjecture and Random Matrix Theory. In order to understand the structure of convolutions of families of…

Newman's conjecture (proved by Rodgers and Tao in 2018) concerns a certain family of deformations $\{\xi_t(s)\}_{t \in \mathbb{R}}$ of the Riemann xi function for which there exists an associated constant $\Lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ (called…

A continued fraction $v(\tau)$ of Ramanujan is evaluated at certain arguments in the field $K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-d})$, with $-d \equiv 1$ (mod $8$), in which the ideal $(2) = \wp_2 \wp_2'$ is a product of two prime ideals. These values of…

We denote functions mapping n to the Fourier coefficient of q^n in the expansion of a cusp form as Ramanujan functions. We empirically study the eigenvalues of determinants that represent values of these Ramanujan functions. In some cases,…

Recently, Andrews and Bachraoui investigated congruences for certain restricted two-color partitions. They made two conjectures for Ramanujan type congruences and a vanishing identity for the limiting sequence. Very recently, Banerjee,…

We derive series representations for the tau functions of the $q$-Painlev\'e V, $\mathrm{III_1}$, $\mathrm{III_2}$, and $\mathrm{III_3}$ equations, as degenerations of the tau functions of the $q$-Painlev\'e VI equation in [Jimbo M., Nagoya…

Elsner, Luca and Tachiya proved in 2019 that the values of the Jacobi-theta constants $\theta_3(m\tau)$ and $\theta_3(n\tau)$ are algebraically independent over $\mathbb{Q}$ for distinct integers $m,n$ under some conditions on $\tau$. On…

Ramanujan famously found congruences for the partition function like p(5n+4) = 0 modulo 5. We provide a method to find all simple congruences of this type in the coefficients of the inverse of a modular form on Gamma_{1}(4) which is…

We investigate Ramanujan congruences for the function which counts the overpartitions of n with restricted odd differences. In particular, we show that only one such congruence exists. Our method involves using the theory of modular forms…

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…

Let $\tau$ denote the Ramanujan tau function. One is interested in possible prime values of $\tau$ function. Since $\tau$ is multiplicative and $\tau(n)$ is odd if and only if $n$ is an odd square, we only need to consider $\tau(p^{2n})$…

We prove the Adler-Bardeen theorem in a large class of general gauge theories, including nonrenormalizable ones. We assume that the gauge symmetries are general covariance, local Lorentz symmetry and Abelian and non-Abelian Yang-Mills…

In the preprint of 1993 the author formulated some conjectures on monotonicity of ratios for exponential series remainders. They are equivalent to conjectures on monotonicity of a ratio of Kummer hypergeometric functions and presumably not…

Fix $n \geq 2$ an integer, and let $F$ be a totally real number field. We derive estimates for the finite parts of the $L$-functions of irreducible cuspidal $\operatorname{GL}_n({\bf{A}}_F)$-automorphic representations twisted by class…

De Bruijn and Newman introduced a deformation of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$, and found a real constant $\Lambda$ which encodes the movement of the zeros of $\zeta(s)$ under the deformation. The Riemann hypothesis (RH) is…

In this note, we prove in full generality a conjecture of Jacquet concerning the nonvanishing of the triple product L-function at the central point. Let $\kay$ be a number field and let $\pi_i$, $i=1$, 2, 3 be cuspidal automorphic…
