This article extends our previous study on the summatory behavior of Euler's totient function $\varphi(n)$. We investigate two complementary restricted sums, $\Upsilon(x,p)=\sum_{\substack{k\le x\\\gcd(k,p)=1}}\varphi(k)$ and…

We obtain several asymptotic estimates for the sums of the restricted divisor function $$ \tau_{M,N}(k) = #\{1 \le m \le M, \ 1\le n \le N: mn = k\} $$ over short arithmetic progressions, which improve some results of J. Truelsen. Such…

We derive the asymptotic formula $\alpha(k,q)=\lambda_{k-1}q^k+o(q^k)$, where $\alpha(k,q)$ is the independence number of the de Bruijn graph $B(k,q)$, and $\lambda_{k-1}$ is a constant arising from a variational problem on the unit…

Let q>1 and m>0 be relatively prime integers. We find an explicit period $\nu_m(q)$ such that for any integers n>0 and r we have $[n+\nu_m(q),r]_m(a)=[n,r]_m(a) (mod q)$ whenever a is an integer with $\gcd(1-(-a)^m,q)=1$, or a=-1 (mod q),…

We study a generalized class of weighted $k$-regular partitions defined by \[ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} c_{k, r_1, r_2}(n) q^n = \prod_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(1 - q^{nk})^{r_1}}{(1 - q^n)^{r_2}}, \] which extends the classical $k$-regular partition…

We establish a new asymptotic formula for the number of polynomials of degree $n$ with $k$ prime factors over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. The error term tends to $0$ uniformly in $n$ and in $q$, and $k$ can grow beyond $\log n$.…

Using the $q$-Wilf--Zeilberger method and a $q$-analogue of a "divergent" Ramanujan-type supercongruence, we give several $q$-supercongruences modulo the fourth power of a cyclotomic polynomial. One of them is a $q$-analogue of a…

Let $x\geqslant 2$ and assume that $a$ and $q$ are coprime positive integers. As usual, $\psi(x;q,a):=\sum_{n\leqslant x,n\equiv a(\!\!\!\mod{\!\!q})}\Lambda(n)$, where $\Lambda$ is the von Mangoldt function. In 2003, Friedlander and…

Motivated by the recent work of Park on the analogue of the Ramanujan's function $k(\tau)=r(\tau)r^2(2\tau)$ for the Ramanujan's cubic continued fraction, where $r(\tau)$ is the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction, we use the methods of Lee…

Kummer (1851) and, many years later, Ihara (2005) both posed conjectures on invariants related to the cyclotomic field $\mathbb Q(\zeta_q)$ with $q$ a prime. Kummer's conjecture concerns the asymptotic behaviour of the first factor of the…

The d'Arcais numbers are the triangular array $\{A(2,n,k)\, :\, n=0,1,\dots,\, k=0,\dots,n\}$, such that $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \sum_{k=0}^{n} A(2,n,k) x^k z^n/n! = ((z;z)_{\infty})^{-x}$. The infinite $q$-Pochhammer symbol is $(q;q)_{\infty}…

We consider sign changes of Fourier coefficients of Hecke-Maass cusp forms for the group $\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb Z)$. When the underlying form is self-dual, we show that there are $\gg_\varepsilon X^{5/6-\varepsilon}$ sign changes among the…

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…

Let \tau(.) be the Ramanujan \tau-function, and let k be a positive integer such that \tau(n) is not 0 for n=1,...,[k/2]. (This is known to be true for k < 10^{23}, and, conjecturally, for all k.) Further, let s be a permutation of the set…

We establish a theory of scalar Fourier coefficients for a class of non-holomorphic, automorphic forms on the quaternionic real Lie group $\mathrm{U}(2,n)$. By studying the theta lifts of holomorphic modular forms from $\mathrm{U}(1,1)$, we…

In this work we study the Plancherel-Rotach type asymptotics for selected $q$-series and $q$-orthogonal polynomials with complex scalings. The $q$-series we cover are Euler's $q$-exponential, Ramanujan function, Jackson's $q$-Bessel…

In a paper published in 2023, Wagner introduced and studied Jacobi forms with complex multiplication, and gave several applications. One such application was in constructing a new doubly-infinite family of partition-theoretic objects,…

Let $\mathcal{A}(n)$ be the $(1,n)-th$ Fourier coefficients of $SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$ Hecke-Maass cusp form i.e. $\Lambda(1,n)$ or the triple divisor function $d_3(n)$, which is the number of solutions of the equation $r_1r_2r_3 = n$ with $r_1,…

Let $\beta$ be a positive integer. A generalization of the Ramanujan sum due to Cohen is given by \begin{align} c_{q,\beta }(n) := \sum\limits_{{{(h,{q^\beta })}_\beta } = 1} {{e^{2\pi inh/{q^\beta }}}}, \nonumber \end{align} where $h$…

Let $q$ be a prime power, and let $r=nk+1$ be a prime such that $r\nmid q$, where $n$ and $k$ are positive integers. Under a simple condition on $q$, $r$ and $k$, a Gauss period of type $(n,k)$ is a normal element of $\Bbb F_{q^n}$ over…
