In this article, we have studied transformation formulas of zeta function at odd integers over an arbitrary number field which in turn generalizes Ramanujan's identity for the Riemann zeta function. The above transformation leads to a new…

We study the $SU(3)$ Toda system with singular sources \[ \begin{cases} \Delta u+2e^{u}-e^v=4\pi\sum_{k=0}^m n_{1,k}\delta_{p_k}\quad\text{ on }\; E_{\tau},\\ \Delta v+2e^{v}-e^u=4\pi \sum_{k=0}^m n_{2,k}\delta_{p_k}\quad\text{ on }\;…

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…

At scattered places in his first notebook, Ramanujan recorded the values for 107 class invariants or irreducible monic polynomials satisfied by them. On pages 294-299 in his second notebook, he gave a table of values for 77 class invariants…

Page 332 of Ramanujan's Lost Notebook contains a compelling identity for $\zeta(1/2)$, which has been studied by many mathematicians over the years. On the same page, Ramanujan also recorded the series, \begin{align*} \frac{1^r}{\exp(1^s x)…

By using one of the definitions of the Bernoulli numbers, we prove that they solve particular odd and even lower triangular Toeplitz (l.t.T.) systems of equations. In a paper Ramanujan writes down a sparse lower triangular system solved by…

Let $f(z)=q+\sum_{n\geq 2}a(n)q^n$ be a weight $k$ normalized newform with integer coefficients and trivial residual mod 2 Galois representation. We extend the results of Amir and Hong in \cite{AH} for $k=2$ by ruling out or locating all…

At scattered places of his notebooks, Ramanujan recorded over 30 values of singular moduli $\alpha_n$. All those results were proved by Berndt et. al by employing Weber-Ramanujan's class invariants. In this paper, we initiate to derive the…

Let $\sigma$ be a permutation on $n$ letters. We say that a permutation $\tau$ is an even (resp. odd) $k$th root of $\sigma$ if $\tau^k=\sigma$ and $\tau$ is an even (resp. odd) permutation. In this article, we obtain generating functions…

We prove that there are infinitely many solutions of $$ |\lambda_0+\lambda_1p+\lambda_2P_r|<p^{-\tau}, $$ where $r=3,$ $\tau=\frac1{118}$, and $\lambda_0$ is an arbitrary real number and $\lambda_1,\lambda_2\in\BR$ with $\lambda_2\neq0$ and…

A well known result of Newman says that upto a limit, multiples of $3$ with even number of 1's in binary representation always exceed multiples of $3$ with odd number of 1's. The phenomenon of preponderance of even number of 1's is now…
