In 2017, He [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 145 (2017), 501--508] established two spuercongruences on truncated hypergeometric series and further proposed two related conjectures. Subsequently, Liu [Results Math. 72 (2017), 2057--2066] extended…
Mersenne numbers and Fermat numbers are two hot and difficult issues in number theory. This paper constructs a special group for every positive odd number other than 1, and discovers an algorithm for determining the multiplicative order of…
The objective of this paper is, in the main, twofold: Firstly, to develop an algebraic setting for dealing with Bell polynomials and related extensions. Secondly, based on the author's previous work on multivariate Stirling polynomials…
The Grothendieck and Artin-Mumford exact sequences for the Brauer group of a function field in 1 or 2 variables are applied to derive reciprocity laws for $q$th power residues.
Let $K=\Bbb Q(\sqrt{-q})$, where $q$ is a prime congruent to $3$ modulo $4$. Let $A=A(q)$ denote the Gross curve. Let $E=A^{(-\beta)}$ denote its quadratic twist, with $\beta=\sqrt{-q}$. The curve $E$ is defined over the Hilbert class field…
Inspired by the recent work of El Bachraoui, we present some new $q$-supercongruences on triple and quadruple sums of basic hypergeometric series. In particular, we give a $q$-supercongruence modulo the fifth power of a cyclotomic…
In this work, we extend the robust version of the Sylvester-Gallai theorem, obtained by Barak, Dvir, Wigderson and Yehudayoff, and by Dvir, Saraf and Wigderson, to the case of quadratic polynomials. Specifically, we prove that if…
Our main result is that the image of the quantum representation of a central extension of the mapping class group of the genus $g\geq 3$ closed orientable surface at a prime $p\geq 5$ is a Zariski dense discrete subgroup of some higher rank…
We consider the problem of determining whether a given prime p is a congruent number. We present an easily computed criterion that allows us to conclude that certain primes for which congruency was previously undecided, are in fact not…
Two new representations for Ramanujan's function $\sigma(q)$ are obtained. The proof of the first one uses the three-variable reciprocity theorem due to Soon-Yi Kang and a transformation due to R.P. Agarwal while that of the second uses the…
A key ingredient in the Taylor-Wiles proof of Fermat last theorem is the classical Ihara's lemma which is used to rise the modularity property between some congruent galoisian representations. In their work on Sato-Tate,…
Let $p$ be an odd prime. For each integer $a$ with $p\nmid a$, the famous Zolotarev's Lemma says that the Legendre symbol $(\frac{a}{p})$ is the sign of the permutation of $\Z/p\Z$ induced by multiplication by $a$. The extension of…
For the last passage percolation (LPP) on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ with exponential passage times, let $T_{n}$ denote the passage time from $(1,1)$ to $(n,n)$. We investigate the law of iterated logarithm of the sequence $\{T_{n}\}_{n\geq 1}$; we…
Let F be a totally real number field of odd degree. We prove several purely local criteria for the asymptotic Fermat's Last Theorem to hold over F, and also for the non-existence of solutions to the unit equation over F. For example, if 2…
For a fixed integer a>1, we suggest that the probability of nullity of the p-Fermat quotient q(p,a) is much lower than 1/p for any arbitrary large prime number p. For this we use various heuristics, justified by means of numerical…
An adjacent $q$-cycle is a natural generalization of an adjacent transposition. We show that the number of adjacent $q$-cycles in a permutation maps to the sum of occurrences of two mesh patterns under Foata's fundamental transformation. As…
Caraiani and Newton have proven that if $F$ is an imaginary quadratic number field such that $X_0(15)$ has rank $0$ over $F$, then every elliptic curve over $F$ is modular. This paper is concerned with the quadratic fields…
In his seminal Inventiones paper from 1972 Grauert proved the existence of a semiuniversal deformation of an arbitrary complex analytic isolated singularity. For the proof he invented an approximation theorem for solving a system of…
We show that in Weil's converse theorem the functional equations of multiplicative twists for at least the first $\sqrt{\frac{p-24}{3}}$ moduli are needed in order to prove the modularity for $\Gamma_0(p)$.
