Let $d^{(k)}(n)$ be the $k$-free divisor function for integer $k\ge2$. Let $a$ be a nonzero integer. In this paper, we establish an asymptotic formula \begin{equation*} \sum_{p\leq x} d^{(k)}(p-a) =b_k \cdot x+O\left(\frac{x}{\log x}\right)…

Extending work of Bell and of Bell, Ghioca, and Tucker, we prove that for a p-adic analytic self-map f on a closed unit polydisk, if every coefficient of f(x)-x has valuation greater than that of p^{1/(p-1)}, then the iterates of f can be…

The purpose of this article is to newly define the $p$-adic polylogarithm as an equivariant class in the cohomology of a certain infinite disjoint union of algebraic tori associated to a totally real field. We will then express the special…

We present an efficient algorithm for computing certain special values of Rankin triple product $p$-adic L-functions and give an application of this to the explicit construction of rational points on elliptic curves.

We study two important operations on polynomials defined over complete discrete valuation fields: Euclidean division and factorization. In particular, we design a simple and efficient algorithm for computing slope factorizations, based on…

The aim of this paper is to construct generating functions for some families of special finite sums with the aid of the Newton-Mercator series, hypergeometric series, and $p$-adic integral (the Volkenborn integral). By using these…

Let $n, k$ and $a$ be positive integers. The Stirling numbers of the first kind, denoted by $s(n,k)$, count the number of permutations of $n$ elements with $k$ disjoint cycles. Let $p$ be a prime. In recent years, Lengyel, Komatsu and…

Given a prime number $p$, the study of divisibility properties of a sequence $c(n)$ has two contending approaches: $p$-adic valuations and superconcongruences. The former searches for the highest power of $p$ dividing $c(n)$, for each $n$;…

We establish a derivative formula of $p$-adic Shintani $L$-functions, thus those of totally real $p$-adic Hecke $L$-functions with trivial moduli. As an application, we present a product formula of bivariate $p$-adic Gamma values by…

Fix a prime number $p$ and let $E/F$ be a CM extension of number fields in which $p$ splits relatively. Let $\pi$ be an automorphic representation of a quasi-split unitary group of even rank with respect to $E/F$ such that $\pi$ is ordinary…

Under sufficiently strong assumptions about the first term in an arithmetic progression, we prove that for any integer $a$, there are infinitely many $n\in \mathbb N$ such that for each prime factor $p|n$, we have $p-a|n-a$. This can be…

Let N and p be two prime numbers > 3 such that p divides N-1. We estimate the p-rank of the class group of Q(N^(1/p)) in terms of the discrete logarithm, with values un F_p, of certain units. Using the Gross--Koblitz formula and identities…

In this paper we apply Ax-Schanuel's Theorem to the ultraproduct of $p$-adic fields in order to get some results towards algebraic independence of $p$-adic exponentials for almost all primes $p$.

The formula of the title relates $p$-adic heights of Heegner points and derivatives of $p$-adic $L$-functions. It was originally proved by Perrin-Riou for $p$-ordinary elliptic curves over the rationals, under the assumption that $p$ splits…

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.

Write $T(n)$ as the sum of the reciprocals of the primes which divide $n$. Write $H(n) = \prod_{p|n}p/(p-1)$ where the product is over the prime divisors of $n$. We prove new bounds for $T(n)$ and $H(n)$ in terms of the smallest prime…

We propose a new frame work of $p$-adic neural network. Unlike the original $p$-adic neural network by S.\ Albeverio, A.\ Khrennikov, and B.\ Tirrozi using a family of characteristic functions indexed by hyperparameters of precision as…

Let $f(n)$ be an arithmetic function with $f(n) \ll n^\alpha$ for some $\alpha\in[0,1)$ and let $\lfloor .\rfloor $ denote the integer part function. In this paper, we evaluate asymptotically the sums $$\sum_{n_{1}n_{2}\leq x}f \left(…

We obtain an asymptotic expansion for $p(n)$, the number of partitions of a natural number $n$, starting from a formula that relates its generating function $f(t), t\in (0,1)$ with the characteristic functions of a family of sums of…
