If one restricts an irreducible representation $V_{\lambda}$ of $Gl_{2n}$ to the orthogonal group (respectively the symplectic group), the trivial representation appears with multiplicity one if and only if all parts of $\lambda$ are even…

This paper is concerned with the constancy in the sign of $L(X, \alpha) = \sum_{1}^{X} \frac{\lambda(n)}{n^{\alpha}}$, where $\lambda(n)$ the Liouville function. The non-positivity of $L(X, 0)$ is the P\'{o}lya conjecture, and the…

We establish a Liouville type theorem for fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations in exterior domains in half spaces under quadratic boundary data and a quadratic growth condition, that is, any viscosity solution tends to a quadratic…

We study convergence of ergodic averages along squares with polynomial weights. For a given polynomial $P\in \mathbb{Z}[\cdot]$, consider the set of all $\theta\in[0,1)$ such that for every aperiodic system $(X,\mu, T)$ there is a function…

We examine the value distributions of coefficients in certain $q$-series related to half Appell sums in higher-level and the first moment of the Garvan's $k$-rank of partitions. We prove that these coefficients equal certain restricted…

We study trivariate permutation polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{2^{m}}$ extending two APN permutation families of Li--Kaleyski (IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, 2024) by allowing the scalar parameter to vary over $\mathbb{F}_{2^m}^*$. For \[…

We prove a skew generalization of the Newton-Puiseux theorem for the field $F = \bigcup_{n=1}^\infty \mathbb{C}((x^\frac{1}{n}))$ of Puiseux series: For any positive real number $\alpha$, we consider the $\mathbb{C}$-automorphism $\sigma$…

In this paper, we show that the GVC (generalized vanishing conjecture) holds for the differential operator $\Lambda=(\partial_x-\Phi(\partial_y))\partial_y$ and all polynomials $P(x,y)$, where $\Phi(t)$ is any polynomial over the base…

Given a polynomial P in several variables over an algebraically closed field, we show that except in some special cases that we fully describe, if one coefficient is allowed to vary, then the polynomial is irreducible for all but at most…

Following attempts at an analytic proof of the Pentagonal Number Theorem, we report on the discovery of a general principle leading to an unexpected cancellation of oscillating sums. After stating the motivation, and our theorem, we apply…

The $k$-tiling problem for a convex polytope $P$ is the problem of covering $\mathbb R^d$ with translates of $P$ using a discrete multiset $\Lambda$ of translation vectors, such that every point in $\mathbb R^d$ is covered exactly $k$…

A number $\lambda \in \mathbb C $ is called an {\it eigenvalue} of the matrix polynomial $P(z)$ if there exists a nonzero vector $x \in \mathbb C^n$ such that $P(\lambda)x = 0$. Note that each finite eigenvalue of $P(z)$ is a zero of the…

Let $p(n)$ denote the number of partitions of a natural number $n$. As $ n \to \infty$, the $n$th root of $p(n)$ tends to $1$, which is related to the Cauchy--Hadamard test for power series. Andrews also discovered an elementary proof. Sun…

We investigate multivariate integration for a space of infinitely times differentiable functions $\mathcal{F}_{s, \boldsymbol{u}} := \{f \in C^\infty [0,1]^s \mid \| f \|_{\mathcal{F}_{s, \boldsymbol{u}}} < \infty \}$, where $\| f…

In this paper, we establish several Liouville-type theorems for a class of nonhomogenenous quasilinear inequalities. In the first part, we prove various Liouville results associated with nonnegative solutions to \begin{equation*}\tag{$P_s$}…

Let $P$ be a bounded convex subset of $\mathbb R^n$ of positive volume. Denote the smallest degree of a polynomial $p(X_1,\dots,X_n)$ vanishing on $P\cap\mathbb Z^n$ by $r_P$ and denote the smallest number $u\geq0$ such that every function…

Let $(X,\mathcal W)$ be a balayage space, $1\in \mathcal W$, or - equivalently - let $\mathcal W$ be the set of excessive functions of a Hunt process on a locally compact space $X$ with countable base such that $\mathcal W$ separates…

Let $\lambda(n)$ denote the exponent of the multiplicative group modulo $n$. We show that when $q$ is odd, each coprime residue class modulo $q$ is hit equally often by $\lambda(n)$ as $n$ varies. Under the stronger assumption that…
