Let $p>5$ be a prime. We prove congruences modulo $p^{3-d}$ for sums of the general form $\sum_{k=0}^{(p-3)/2}\binom{2k}{k}t^k/(2k+1)^{d+1}$ and $\sum_{k=1}^{(p-1)/2}\binom{2k}{k}t^k/k^d$ with $d=0,1$. We also consider the special case…

Given positive integers $a_1,\ldots,a_k$, we prove that the set of primes $p$ such that $p \not\equiv 1 \bmod{a_i}$ for $i=1,\ldots,k$ admits asymptotic density relative to the set of all primes which is at least $\prod_{i=1}^k…

We consider the problem of classifying all positive-definite integer-valued quadratic forms that represent all positive odd integers. Kaplansky considered this problem for ternary forms, giving a list of 23 candidates, and proving that 19…

We study analogues of Kronecker coefficients for symmetric inverse semigroups, for dual symmetric inverse semigroups and for the inverse semigroups of bijections between subquotients of finite sets. In all cases we reduce the problem of…

Let $Q$ be a positive-definite quaternary quadratic form with prime discriminant. We give an explicit lower bound on the number of representations of a positive integer $n$ by $Q$. This problem is connected with deriving an upper bound on…

For a square-free integer $t$, Byeon \cite{byeon} proved the existence of infinitely many pairs of quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{tD})$ with $D > 0$ such that the class numbers of all of them are indivisible…

Matrix pencils, or pairs of matrices, may be used in a variety of applications. In particular, a pair of matrices (E,A) may be interpreted as the differential equation E x' + A x = 0. Such an equation is invariant by changes of variables,…

On the twisted Fermat cubic, an elliptic divisibility sequence arises as the sequence of denominators of the multiples of a single rational point. We prove that the number of prime terms in the sequence is uniformly bounded. When the…

We study what Jordan-Kronecker invariants of Lie algebras, introduced by A. V. Bolsinov and P. Zhang, are possible. We completely solve this problem in the Jordan and the Kronecker cases. We prove that any JK invariants that contain the…

In this paper, we prove that the inequalities $\alpha [1/3 Q(a,b)+2/3 A(a,b)]+(1-\alpha)Q^{1/3}(a,b)A^{2/3}(a,b)<M(a,b) <\beta [1/3 Q(a,b)+2/3 A(a,b)]+(1-\beta)Q^{1/3}(a,b)A^{2/3}(a,b)$ and $\lambda [1/6 C(a,b)+5/6…

Let $N$ be an odd perfect number. Then, Euler proved that there exist some integers $n, \alpha$ and a prime $q$ such that $N = n^{2}q^{\alpha}$, $q \nmid n$, and $q \equiv \alpha \equiv 1 \bmod 4$. In this note, we prove that the ratio…

Let $r_Q(n)$ be the representation number of a nonnegative integer $n$ by the quaternary quadratic form $Q=x_1^2+2x_2^2+x_3^2+x_4^2+x_1x_3+x_1x_4+x_2x_4$. We first prove the identity $r_Q(p^2n)=r_Q(p^2)r_Q(n)/r_Q(1)$ for any prime $p$…

$O(N)$ invariants are the observables of real tensor models. We use regular colored graphs to represent these invariants, the valence of the vertices of the graphs relates to the tensor rank. We enumerate $O(N)$ invariants as $d$-regular…

We prove a generalization of a Hardy type inequality for negative exponents valid for non-negative functions defined on $(0,1]$. As an application we find the exact best possible range of $p$ such that $1<p\le q$ such that any…

The classical Kronecker limit formula gives the constant term of the non-holomorphic Eisenstein series E(z,s) for SL(2,Z) at s=1 in terms of the Dedekind eta function. Here we compute the analagous formula for an Eisenstein series twisted…

Let $P,Q\in\Bbb Z$, $U_0=0,\ U_1=1$ and $U_{n+1}=PU_n-QU_{n+1}$. In this paper we obtain a general congruence for $U_{kmn^r}/U_k\pmod {n^{r+1}}$, where $k,m,n,r$ are positive integers. As applications we extend Lucas' law of repetition and…

This paper addresses two fundamental problems posed by Qi regarding the sufficiency of eigenvalues for the classification of symmetric tensors in the two-dimensional setting. For $2\times2\times2$ and $2\times2\times2\times2$ complex…

We show that any $d$-Ahlfors regular subset of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ supporting a weak $(1,d)$-Poincar\'e inequality with respect to surface measure is uniformly rectifiable.

In this paper, we extend the classical Newton-Maclaurin inequalities to functions $S_{k;s}(x)=E_k(x)+\dsum_{i=1}^s \al_i E_{k-i}(x)$, which are formed by linear combinations of multiple basic symmetric mean. We proved that when the…

Suppose that $n$ is $0$ or $4$ modulo $6$. We show that there are infinitely many primes of the form $p^2 + nq^2$ with both $p$ and $q$ prime, and obtain an asymptotic for their number. In particular, when $n = 4$ we verify the `Gaussian…
