We prove an identity [Eq. (1) below] among SU(2) 6j and 9j symbols that generalizes the Biedenharn-Elliott sum rule. We prove the result using diagrammatic techniques (briefly reviewed here), and then provide an algebraic proof. This…
Let $f$ be a real-valued $1$-bounded multiplicative function. Suppose that the mean-value of $f^{2}$ exists, and $$\int_{0}^{1} \Big | \sum_{n \leq N} f(n)e^{2\pi i n \alpha} \Big | d \alpha\leq N^{o(1)}$$ as $N \rightarrow \infty$, then…
A method of estimating sums of multiplicative functions braided with Dirichlet characters is demonstrated, leading to a taxonomy of the characters for which such sums are large.
We consider discretisations of the Macdonald--Mehta integrals from the theory of finite reflection groups. For the classical groups, $\mathrm{A}_{r-1}$, $\mathrm{B}_r$ and $\mathrm{D}_r$, we provide closed-form evaluations in those cases…
Let $ G=(V,E) $ be a connected finite graph and $ \Delta $ the usual graph Laplacian. In this paper, we consider a generalized self-dual Chern-Simons equation on the graph $G$ \begin{eqnarray}\label{one1}…
We derive several identities that feature irreducible characters of the general linear, the symplectic, the orthogonal, and the special orthogonal groups. All the identities feature characters that are indexed by shapes that are "nearly"…
In this paper, we establish an identity for Bernoulli's generalized polynomials. We deduce generalizations for many relations involving classical Bernoulli numbers or polynomials. In particular, we generalize a recent Gessel identity.
The paper aims to generalize Clausen's identity to the square of any Gauss hypergeometric function. Accordingly, solutions of the related 3rd order linear differential equation are found in terms of certain bivariate series that can reduce…
This note announces a general construction of characteristic currents for singular connections on a vector bundle. It develops, in particular, a Chern-Weil-Simons theory for smooth bundle maps $\alpha : E \rightarrow F$ which, for smooth…
We introduce and study a family of functions we call the "mock characters". These functions satisfy a number of interesting properties, and of all completely multiplicative arithmetic functions seem to come as close as possible to being…
For a set $A$ of non-negative integers, let $R_A(n)$ denote the number of solutions to the equation $n=a+a'$ with $a$, $a'\in A$. Denote by $\chi_A(n)$ the characteristic function of $A$. Let $b_n>0$ be a sequence satisfying $\limsup_{n\to…
The original Beck conjecture, now a theorem due to Andrews, states that the difference in the number of parts in all partitions into odd parts and the number of parts in all strict partitions is equal to the number of partitions whose set…
The Fibonacci numbers satisfy the famous recurrence $F_n = F_{n - 1} + F_{n - 2}$. The theory of C-finite sequences ensures that the Fibonacci numbers whose indices are divisible by $m$, namely $F_{mn}$, satisfy a similar recurrence for…
This paper further generalizes a recent result of Shannon and Ollerton who resurrected an old identity due to Ledin. This paper generalizes the Ledin-Shannon-Ollerton result to all the metallic sequences. The results give closed formulas…
Integral identities for Macdonald polynomials play an important role in modern mathematics and mathematical physics. Especially interesting are the Cherednik-Macdonald-Mehta (CMM) identities, with profound connections to Double Affine Hecke…
We give closed forms for several families of Heun functions related to classical entropies. By comparing two expressions of the same Heun function, we get several combinatorial identities generalizing some classical ones.
In this note we give a short proof of Cherednik's generalization of Macdonald-Mehta identities for the root system $A_{n-1}$ using the representation theory of quantum groups. These identities, suggested and proved by Cherednik, give an…
In this paper we generalize an identity first given by Heinrich Eduard Heine in his treatise, {\it Handbuch der Kugelfunctionen, Theorie und Anwendungen (1881), which gives a Fourier series for $1/[z-\cos\psi]^{1/2}$, for $z,\psi\in\R$, and…
The main purpose of this paper is to derive the closed form solution the sequence $(g_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ of integro-difference equations that is defined recursively as follows: \begin{align*} g_1(x) & = \chi_{(-1/2, 1/2)} (x), g_{n+1}(x)…
In this note, we investigate some properties of the integer sequence of general term $a_n := \sum_{k = 0}^{n - 1} k! (n - k - 1)!$ ($\forall n \geq 1$) to derive a new identity of the Genocchi numbers $G_n$ ($n \in \mathbb{N}$), which…
