We generalize techniques of Addison to a vastly larger context. We obtain integral representations in terms of the first periodic Bernoulli polynomial for a number of important special functions including the Lerch zeta, polylogarithm,…

Hirose, Murahara, and Saito proved that some $t$-adic symmetric multiple zeta values, for indices in which $1$ and $3$ appear alternately in succession, can be expressed as polynomials in Riemann zeta values, and conjectured similar…

The Schinzel Hypothesis is a celebrated conjecture in number theory linking polynomial values and prime numbers. In the same vein we investigate the common divisors of values $P_1(n),\ldots, P_s(n)$ of several polynomials. We deduce this…

In this series of seven papers, predominantly by means of elementary analysis, we establish a number of identities related to the Riemann zeta function. Whilst this paper is mainly expository, some of the formulae reported in it are…

We give a proof of two identities involving binomial sums at infinity conjectured by Z-W Sun. In order to prove these identities, we use a recently presented method i.e. we view the series as specializations of generating series and derive…

We prove the cyclic sum formulas for certain two-parameter multiple series. These are new and non-trivial generalizations of the cyclic sum formulas for multiple zeta values and multiple zeta-star values.

Kawashima's relation is conjecturally one of the largest classes of relations among multiple zeta values. Gaku Kawashima introduced and studied a certain Newton series, which we call the Kawashima function, and deduced his relation by…

We give an explicit formula for the Galois descent expressing multiple $t$-values of maximal height in terms of classical multiple zeta values, making precise Murakami's earlier motivic result. Our results rely on the theory of iterated…

Modifying an idea of E. Brietzke we give simple proofs for the recurrence relations of some sequences of binomial sums which have previously been obtained by other more complicated methods.

Let f(z) = sum_n a(n) n^{(k-1)/2} e(nz) be a cusp form for Gamma_0(N), character chi and weight k geq 4. Let q(x) = x^2 + sx + t be a polynomial with integral coefficients. It is shown that sum_{n \leq X} a(q(n)) = cX + O(X^{6/7+eps}) for…

Let $A$ be a subset of $\mathbb{Z} / N\mathbb{Z}$ and let $\mathcal{R}$ be the set of large Fourier coefficients of $A$. Properties of $\mathcal{R}$ have been studied in works of M.-- C. Chang, B. Green and the author. In the paper we…

We prove effective finiteness results concerning polynomial values of the sums $$ b^k +\left(a+b\right)^k + \cdots + \left(a\left(x-1\right) + b\right)^k $$ and $$ b^k - \left(a+b\right)^k + \left(2a+b\right)^k - \ldots + (-1)^{x-1}…

Recently, Maesaka, Seki and Watanabe discovered a surprising equality between multiple harmonic sums and certain Riemann sums which approximate the iterated integral expression of the multiple zeta values. In this paper, we describe the…

We consider multiple sums and multi-integrals as tau functions of the BKP hierarchy using neutral fermions as the simplest tool for deriving these. The sums are over projective Schur functions $Q_\alpha$ for strict partitions $\alpha$. We…

Using Cauchy's Integral Theorem as a basis, what may be a new series representation for Dirichlet's function $\eta(s)$, and hence Riemann's function $\zeta(s)$, is obtained in terms of the Exponential Integral function $E_{s}(i\kappa)$ of…

We formulate an algebraic problem to find a generating system of a finite subset of an Abelian group with respect to linear relations whose coefficients are bounded by a constant, and recall MITM algorithm for the problem. As an application…

In this paper, by introducing a new operation in the vector space of analytic functions, the author presents a method for derivating the well-known formulas: $\zeta(1-k)=-\frac{B_k}{k}$ and $\zeta(1-n,a)=-\frac{B_n(a)}{n}$ , where $\zeta$,…

We obtain new bounds of exponential sums modulo a prime $p$ with binomials $ax^k + bx^n$. In particular, for $k=1$, we improve the bound of Karatsuba (1967) from $O(n^{1/4} p^{3/4})$ to $O\left(p^{3/4} + n^{1/3}p^{2/3}\right)$ for any $n$,…

We consider binomial and inverse binomial sums at infinity and rewrite them in terms of a small set of constants, such as powers of $\pi$ or $\log(2)$. In order to perform these simplifications, we view the series as specializations of…

We show that any convergent (shuffle) arborified zeta value admits a series representation. This justifies the introduction of a new generalisation to rooted forests of multiple zeta values, and we study its algebraic properties. As a…
