In this paper, we show that the difference between the number of parts in the odd partitions of $n$ and the number of parts in the distinct partitions of $n$ satisfies Euler's recurrence relation for the partition function $p(n)$ when $n$…

The toric residue is a map depending on n+1 semi-ample divisors on a complete toric variety of dimension n. It appears in a variety of contexts such as sparse polynomial systems, mirror symmetry, and GKZ hypergeometric functions. In this…

We consider twisted conjugacy classes of continuous automorphisms $\varphi$ of a Lie group $G$. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition on $\varphi$ for its Reidemeister number, the number of twisted conjugacy classes, to be infinite…

We study the exact extremal orders of compositions $f(g(n))$ of certain arithmetical functions, including the functions $\sigma(n)$, $\phi(n)$, $\sigma^*(n)$ and $\phi^*(n)$, representing the sum of divisors of $n$, Euler's function and…

In recent years, Teichm\"uller theory, which is the study of moduli spaces of marked Riemann surfaces, has come to be considered more and more from the point of view of actions of surface groups inside certain semi-simple Lie groups. In…

We obtain reasonably tight upper and lower bounds on the sum $\sum_{n \leqslant x} \varphi \left( \left\lfloor{x/n}\right\rfloor\right)$, involving the Euler functions $\varphi$ and the integer parts $\left\lfloor{x/n}\right\rfloor$ of the…

Let $k\geq2$ and $s$ be positive integers. Let $\theta\in(0,1)$ be a real number. In this paper, we establish that if $s>k(k+1)$ and $\theta>0.55$, then every sufficiently large natural number $n$, subjects to certain congruence conditions,…

The famous strongly binary Goldbach's conjecture asserts that every even number $2n \geq 8$ can always be expressible as the sum of two distinct odd prime numbers. We use a new approach to dealing with this conjecture. Specifically, we…

Much progress has been made on the problem of calculating $g(n)$ for various classes of integers $n$, where $g$ is the group-counting function. We approach the inverse problem of solving the equations $g(n) = 6$ and $g(n) = 7$ in $n$. The…

Let $f(z)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a(n)q^n\in S^{\text{new}}_ k (\Gamma_0(N))$ be a newform with squarefree level $N$ that does not have complex multiplication. For a prime $p$, define $\theta_p\in[0,\pi]$ to be the angle for which $a(p)=2p^{( k…

For a nonzero integer $a$ let ${E_n^{(a)}}$ be given by $\sum_{k=0}^{[n/2]}\binom n{2k}a^{2k}E_{n-2k}^{(a)}=(1-a)^n$ $(n=0,1,2,...)$, where $[x]$ is the greatest integer not exceeding $x$. As $E_n^{(1)}=E_n$ is the Euler number, $E_n^{(a)}$…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and let $A$ be nonempty finite set of positive integers. We say that $A$ is relatively prime if $\gcd(A) =1$ and that $A$ is relatively prime to $n$ if $\gcd(A,n)=1$. In this work we count the number of…

Let \sigma(n) be the sum of divisors of a positive integer n. Robin's theorem states that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the inequality \sigma(n)<e^\gamma n\log\log n for all n>5040 (\gamma is Euler's constant). It is a natural…

In this paper, we study some typical arithmetic properties of Euler's totient function of polynomials over finite fields. Especially, we study polynomial analogues of some classical conjectures about Euler's totient function, such as…

A work by Nicolas has shown that if it can be proven that a certain inequality holds for all $n$, the Riemann hypothesis is true. This inequality is associated with the Mertens theorem, and hence the Euler totient at $\prod_{k=1}^n p_k$,…

It is known that there are infinitely many solutions to the inequality \phi(30n+1)<\phi(30n), where \phi is the familiar Euler totient function. However, there are no solutions with n<20,000,000, and computing a solution would seem to…

E26 in the Enestrom index. Translated from the Latin original, "Observationes de theoremate quodam Fermatiano aliisque ad numeros primos spectantibus" (1732). In this paper Euler gives a counterexample to Fermat's claim that all numbers of…

In this work, we studied various properties of arithmetic function $\tilde{\varphi}$, where $\tilde{\varphi}(n)=|\{m\in \mathbb{N} | 1\le m\le n, (m,n)=1, \mbox{$m$ is not a prime}\}|.$

An integer $k$ is called regular (mod $n$) if there exists an integer $x$ such that $k^2x\equiv k$ (mod $n$). This holds true if and only if $k$ possesses a weak order (mod $n$), i.e., there is an integer $m\ge 1$ such that $k^{m+1} \equiv…

Let $N_1(m)=\max\{n \colon \phi(n) \leq m\}$ and $N_1 = \{N_1(m) \colon m \in \phi(\mathbb{N})\}$ where $\phi(n)$ denotes the Euler's totient function. Masser and Shiu \cite{masser} call the elements of $N_1$ as `sparsely totient numbers'…
