We say that a monic polynomial $f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$ of degree $N$ is monogenic if $f(x)$ is irreducible over ${\mathbb Q}$ and $\{1,\theta,\theta^2,\ldots ,\theta^{N-1}\}$ is a basis for ${\mathbb Z}_K$, the ring of integers of…

Let $C_n(q)$ be the number of ideals of codimension $n$ of $\mathbb{F}_q\left[x, y, x^{-1}, y^{-1} \right]$, where $\mathbb{F}_q$ is the finite field with $q$ elements. Kassel and Reutenauer [KasselReutenauer2015A] proved that $C_n(q)$ is a…

We investigate the relationship between the set S of Pisot numbers and the set T of Salem numbers. Salem first established that: " every Pisot number is an accumulation point of the set T ". Building on Boyd's method, we show that every…

Proper continued fractions are generalized continued fractions with positive integer numerators $a_i$ and integer denominators with $b_i\geq a_i$. In this paper we study the strength of approximation of irrational numbers to their…

Let $p$ be a prime and ${\mathfrak P}_p$ the set of positive integers which are prime to $p$. Recently, Wang and Cai proved that for every positive integer $r$ and prime $p>2$ $$ \sum_{\substack{i+j+k=p^r\\ i,j,k\in{\mathfrak P}_p}}…

In this paper we study the factors of some alternating sums of products of binomial and q-binomial coefficients. We prove that for all positive integers n_1,...,n_m, n_{m+1}=n_1, and 0\leq j\leq m-1, {n_1+n_{m}\brack…

We construct multiple $qt$-binomial coefficients and related multiple analogues of several celebrated families of special numbers in this paper. These multidimensional generalizations include the first and the second kind of $qt$-Stirling…

Let $m>2$ and $q>0$ be integers with $m$ even or $q$ odd. We show the supercongruence $$\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}(-1)^{km}\binom{p/m-q}{k}^m\equiv0\pmod{p^3}.$$ for any prime $p>mq$. This confirms a conjecture of Sun.

We provide a proof of Pisot conjecture, a classification problem in Ergodic Theory on recurrent sequences generated by irreducible Pisot substitutions.

We study the joint distribution of values of a pair consisting of a quadratic form $q$ and a linear form $\mathbf l$ over the set of integral vectors, a problem initiated by Dani-Margulis (1989). In the spirit of the celebrated theorem of…

Let $N_q$ be the number of solutions to the equation $$ (a_1^{}x_1^{m_1}+\dots+a_n^{}x_n^{m_n})^k=bx_1^{k_1}\cdots x_n^{k_n} $$ over the finite field $\mathbb F_q=\mathbb F_{p^s}$. Carlitz found formulas for~$N_q$ when…

We prove that all the correlation functions in the $(1,q)$ models are calculable using only the Virasoro and the $W^{(3)}$ constraints. This result is based on the invariance of correlators with respect to an interchange of the order of the…

In this paper, the estimation formula of the number of primes in a given interval is obtained by using the prime distribution property. For any prime pairs $p>5$ and $ q>5 $, construct a disjoint infinite set sequence $A_1, A_2, \ldots,…

Let $\beta >1$ be an integer or generally a Pisot number. Put $T(x) = \{ \beta x \}$ on $[0,1]$ and let $S: [0,1]\to [0,1]$ be a piecewise linear transformation whose slopes have the form $\pm \beta^m$ with positive integers $m$. We give…

By making use of the multiplicate form of the extended Carlitz inverse series relations, we establish two general `dual' theorems of Jackson's summation formula for well--poised $_8\phi_7$-series. Their duplicate forms under the partition…

Let $\Phi_{n}(q)$ denote the $n$-th cyclotomic polynomial in $q$. Recently, Guo and Schlosser [Constr. Approx. 53 (2021), 155--200] put forward the following conjecture: for an odd integer $n>1$, \begin{align*}…

We study the algebraic properties of Generalized Laguerre Polynomials for negative integral values of the parameter. For integers $r,n\geq 0$, we conjecture that $L_n^{(-1-n-r)}(x) = \sum_{j=0}^n \binom{n-j+r}{n-j}x^j/j!$ is a…

A polynomial $A(q)=\sum_{i=0}^n a_iq^i$ is said to be unimodal if $a_0\le a_1\le \cdots \le a_k\ge a_{k+1} \ge \cdots \ge a_n$. We investigate the unimodality of rational $q$-Catalan polynomials, which is defined to be $C_{m,n}(q)=…
