We prove three more general supercongruences between truncated hypergeometric series and $p$-adic Gamma function from which some known supercongruences follow. A supercongruence conjectured by Rodriguez-Villegas and proved by E. Mortenson…

In this paper, we will present several new congruences involving binomial coefficients under integer moduli, which are the continuation of the previous two work by Cai \textit{et al.} (2002, 2007).

We compute the divisor of the modular equation on the modular curve $\Gamma_0(N) \backslash \mathbb H^*$ and then find recurrence relations satisfied by the modular traces of the Hauptmodul for any congruence subgroup $\Gamma_0(N)$ of genus…

We extend the formulation of gauged supergravity in five dimensions, as obtained by compactification of $M$~theory on a deformed Calabi-Yau manifold, to include non-universal matter hypermultiplets. Even in the presence of this gauging,…

We investigate products of certain double cosets for the symmetric group and use the findings to derive some multiplication formulas for q-Schur superalgebras. This gives a combinatorialisation of the relative norm approach developed by the…

We give formulas for the number of polynomials over a finite field with given root multiplicities, in particular in cases when the formula is surprisingly simple (a power of q). Besides this concrete interpretation, we also prove an…

Using a general $q$-series expansion, we derive some nontrivial $q$-formulas involving many infinite products. A multitude of Hecke--type series identities are derived. Some general formulas for sums of any number of squares are given. A…

We present outlines of a general method to reach certain kinds of $q$-multiple sum identities. Throughout our exposition, we shall give generalizations to the results given by Dilcher, Prodinger, Fu and Lascoux, Zeng, and Guo and Zhang…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $x$ be a $p$-adic integer. In this paper, we establish supercongruences for $$ \sum_{k=0}^{p-1}\frac{\binom{x}{k}\binom{x+k}{k}(-4)^k}{(dk+1)\binom{2k}{k}}\pmod{p^2} $$ and $$…

We describe a highly predictive model for supersymmetry breaking in 5 dimensions. We develop its phenomenology and the capabilities for discovery and measurement at various colliders.

We study the explicit factorization of $2^n r$-th cyclotomic polynomials over finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ where $q, r$ are odd with $(r, q) =1$. We show that all irreducible factors of $2^n r$-th cyclotomic polynomials can be obtained…

For classical matroids, the direct sum is one of the most straightforward methods to make a new matroid out of existing ones. This paper defines a direct sum for $q$-matroids, the $q$-analogue of matroids. This is a lot less straightforward…

In this paper, we mainly prove a congruence conjecture of Z.-W. Sun \cite{Sjnt}: Let $p>5$ be a prime. Then $$ \sum_{k=(p+1)/2}^{p-1}\frac{\binom{2k}k^2}{k16^k}\equiv-\frac{21}2H_{p-1}\pmod{p^4}, $$ where $H_n$ denotes the $n$-th harmonic…

Andrews once gave $q$-analogues of a binomial congruence of Glaisher, and he suggested perfect $q$-analogues. In this note we give ones meeting the demand of Andrews.

Four recursive constructions of permutation polynomials over $\gf(q^2)$ with those over $\gf(q)$ are developed and applied to a few famous classes of permutation polynomials. They produce infinitely many new permutation polynomials over…

In the present paper a new mean value theorem for polynomials of special form is obtained. The case of sums on vertices of a regular polygon is studied. A criterion for a certain equation to be satisfied is obtained.

We consider the problem of finding sum of squares (sos) expressions to establish the non-negativity of a symmetric polynomial over a discrete hypercube whose coordinates are indexed by the $k$-element subsets of $[n]$. For simplicity, we…

We obtain a small improvement of Gallagher's larger sieve and we extend it to higher dimensions. We also obtain two interesting upper bounds for the number of solutions to polynomial congruences.

Permutation polynomials over finite fields constitute an active research area and have applications in many areas of science and engineering. In this paper, two conjectures on permutation polynomials proposed recently by Wu and Li [19] are…

We define an overpartition analogue of Gaussian polynomials (also known as $q$-binomial coefficients) as a generating function for the number of overpartitions fitting inside the $M \times N$ rectangle. We call these new polynomials over…
