In this paper, we determine all the squares in the sequence $\{\prod_{k=2}^n(k^2-1)\}_{n=2}^\infty $. From this, one deduces that there are infinitely many squares in this sequence. We also give a formula for the $p$-adic valuation of the…
Several new estimates for the 2-adic valuations of Stirling numbers of the second kind are proved. These estimates, together with criteria for when they are sharp, lead to improvements in several known theorems and their proofs, as well as…
A 3d generally covariant field theory having some unusual properties is described. The theory has a degenerate 3-metric which effectively makes it a 2d field theory in disguise. For 2-manifolds without boundary, it has an infinite number of…
We provide necessary and sufficient conditions on the unimodality of a convolution of two sequences of binomial coefficients preceded by a finite number of ones. These convolution sequences arise as as rank sequences of posets of…
This paper shows a finiteness property of a divisorial valuation in terms of arcs. First we show that every divisorial valuation over an algebraic variety corresponds to an irreducible closed subset of the arc space. Then we define the…
For each positive integer n greater than or equal to 2, a new approach to expressing real numbers as sequences of nonnegative integers is given. The n=2 case is equivalent to the standard continued fraction algorithm. For n=3, it reduces to…
The study of prime divisibility plays a crucial role in number theory. The $p$-adic valuation of a number is the highest power of a prime, $p$, that divides that number. Using this valuation, we construct $p$-adic valuation trees to…
The 2-adic valuation of an integer n which is the exponent of the highest power of 2 that divides n. In this paper, we give representations of certain restricted partition functions in terms of 2-adic valuation.
We describe classes of toric varieties of codimension 2 which are either minimally defined by 3 binomial equations over any algebraically closed field, or are set-theoretic complete intersections in exactly one positive characteristic.
Matrix-valued polynomials in any finite number of freely noncommuting variables that enjoy certain canonical partial convexity properties are characterized, via an algebraic certificate, in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities and Bilinear…
We deal with the algebraicity of a Puiseux series in terms of the properties of its coefficients. We show that the algebraicity of a Puiseux series for given bounded degree is determined by a finite number of explicit polynomial formulae.…
We show that the coefficients of a power series occurring in $p$-adic Fourier theory for $\mathbf{Q}_{p^2}$ have valuations that are given by an intriguing formula.
Motivated by a question of van der Poorten about the existence of infinite chain of prime numbers (with respect to some base), in this paper we advance the study of sequences of consecutive polynomials whose coefficients are chosen…
Let D be a domain with quotient field K and A a D-algebra. We call a polynomial with coefficients in K that maps every element of A to an element of A "integer-valued on A". For commutative A we also consider integer-valued polynomials in…
In this paper we give an algorithm to calculate the coefficients of the p-adic expansion of a rational numbers, and we give a method to decide whether this expansion is periodic or ultimately periodic.
Some aspects of analysis involving fields with absolute value functions are discussed, which includes the real or complex numbers with their standard absolute values, as well as ultrametric situations like the p-adic numbers.
A sequence is difference algebraic (or D-algebraic) if finitely many shifts of its general term satisfy a polynomial relationship; that is, they are the coordinates of a generic point on an affine hypersurface. The corresponding equations…
In this note, we describe a family of particular algebraic, and nonquadratic, power series over an arbitrary finite field of characteristic 2, having a continued fraction expansion with all partial quotients of degree one. The main purpose…
We describe various structures of algebraic nature on the space of continuous valuations on convex sets, their properties (like versions of Poincar\'e duality and hard Lefschetz theorem), and their relations and applications to integral…
The qualitative properties of local random invariant manifolds for stochastic partial differential equations with quadratic nonlinearities and multiplicative noise is studied by a cut off technique. By a detail estimates on the Perron fixed…
