Each family of Gauss hypergeometric functions $$ f_n={}_2F_1(a+\epsilon_1n, b+\epsilon_2n ;c+\epsilon_3n; z), $$ for fixed $\epsilon_j=0,\pm1$ (not all $\epsilon_j$ equal to zero) satisfies a second order linear difference equation of the…

For $f$ a Rademacher or Steinhaus random multiplicative function, we prove that $$ \max_{\theta \in [0,1]} \frac{1}{\sqrt{N}} \Bigl| \sum_{n \leq N} f(n) \mathrm{e} (n \theta) \Bigr| \gg \sqrt{\log N} ,$$ asymptotically almost surely as $N…

The present paper proves that if for a power sum $\alpha$ over $\ZZ$ the length of the period of the continued fraction for $\sqrt{\alpha(n)}$ is constant for infinitely many even (resp. odd) $n$, then $\sqrt{\alpha(n)}$ admits a functional…

In theories with renormalons the perturbative series is factorially divergent even after restricting to a given order in $1/N$, making the $1/N$ expansion a natural testing ground for the theory of resurgence. We study in detail the…

In 1982, Schlickewei and Van der Poorten claimed that any multi-recurrence sequence has, essentially, maximal possible growth rate. Fourty years later, Fuchs and Heintze provided a non-effective proof of this statement. In this paper, we…

We consider the higher order Tur\'an inequality and higher order log-concavity for sequences $\{a_n\}_{n \ge 0}$ such that \[ \frac{a_{n-1}a_{n+1}}{a_n^2} = 1 + \sum_{i=1}^m \frac{r_i(\log n)}{n^{\alpha_i}} + o\left( \frac{1}{n^{\beta}}…

We prove that when $f$ is a Rademacher random multiplicative function for any $\epsilon>0$, then $\sum_{n \leqslant x}\frac{f(n)}{\sqrt{n}} \ll (\log\log(x))^{3/4+\epsilon}$ for almost all $f$. We also show that there exist arbitrarily…

We study sequences of functions of the form F_p^n -> {0,1} for varying n, and define a notion of convergence based on the induced distributions from restricting the functions to a random affine subspace. Using a decomposition theorem and a…

Building upon previous works of Andr{\'e} and Chudnovsky, we prove a general result concerning the approximations of values at rational points a/b of any G-function F with rational Taylor coefficients by fractions of the form n/(B…

Let $x \mapsto x+ \alpha$ be a rotation on the circle and let $\varphi$ be a step function. We denote by $\varphi\_n (x)$ the corresponding ergodic sums $\sum\_{j=0}^{n-1} \varphi(x+j \alpha)$. Under an assumption on $\alpha$, for example…

In this paper, we consider a variant of Pillai's problem over function fields $ F $ in one variable over $ \mathbb{C} $. For given simple linear recurrence sequences $ G_n $ and $ H_m $, defined over $ F $ and satisfying some weak…

Generalized Effective Field Theory (GEFT) is the non-renormalizable extension of an Effective Field Theory where the Wilson coefficients are endowed by their own, independent scale dependence. Such an effective theory can be constructed by…

Let $\alpha>0$ and $0<\gamma<1$. Define $g_{\alpha,\gamma}\colon \mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}_0$ by $g_{\alpha,\gamma}(n)=\lfloor n\alpha +\gamma\rfloor$, where $\lfloor x \rfloor$ is the largest integer less than or equal to $x$. The set…

We establish new recurrence and multiple recurrence results for a rather large family $\mathcal{F}$ of non-polynomial functions which includes tempered functions defined in [11], as well as functions from a Hardy field with the property…

A good range of problems on trees can be described by the following general setting: Given a bilinear map $*:\mathbb R^d\times\mathbb R^d\to\mathbb R^d$ and a vector $s\in\mathbb R^d$, we need to estimate the largest possible absolute value…

We show that the theory $I\Sigma_1$ of $\Sigma_1$-induction proves the following statement: For all $n\geq 2$, the uniform $\Sigma_1$-reflection principle over the theory $I\Sigma_n$ is equivalent to the totality of the function…

Let $\Gamma$ be a group and $r_n(\Gamma)$ the number of its $n$-dimensional irreducible complex representations. We define and study the associated representation zeta function $\calz_\Gamma(s) = \suml^\infty_{n=1} r_n(\Gamma)n^{-s}$. When…

Let $\{q_n\}_{n=0}^\infty\subset [0,1]$ satisfy $q_0=0$, $\sum_{n=0}^\infty q_n=1$, and $\gcd\{n\geq 1\mid q_n\neq 0\}=1$. We consider the following process: Let $x$ be a real number. We first set $x=0$. Then $x$ is increased by $i$ with…

For a sequence $\gamma=(\gamma_n)_{n\ge 1}$, define \[ L_\gamma(z):=\sum_{n\ge 1}\gamma_n\frac{z^n}{1-z^n} =\sum_{n\ge 1}\Bigl(\sum_{d\mid n}\gamma_d\Bigr)z^n. \] We prove a short rigidity theorem: if $\gamma$ is eventually linearly…

We consider a sequence $(p_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ of polynomials with uniformly bounded zeros and $\deg p_1\geq 1$, $\deg p_n\geq 2$ for $n\geq 2$, satisfying certain asymptotic conditions. We prove that the function sequence $\left(\frac{1}{\deg…
