This paper is a continuation of our papers [EK1, EK2]. In [EK2] we showed that for the root system A_n-1 one can obtain Macdonald's polynomials - a new interesting class of symmetric functions recently defined by I. Macdonald {M1] - as…

If f is a polynomial with integer coefficients and q is an integer, we may regard f as a map from Z/qZ to Z/qZ. We show that the distribution of the (normalized) spacings between consecutive elements in the image of these maps becomes…

The Jordan totient $J_k(n)$ can be defined by $J_k(n)=n^k\prod_{p\mid n}(1-p^{-k})$. In this paper, we study the average behavior of fractions $P/Q$ of two products $P$ and $Q$ of Jordan totients, which we call Jordan totient quotients. To…
