We prove supercongruences modulo $p^2$ for values of truncated hypergeometric series at some special points. The parameters of the hypergeometric series are $d$ copies of $1/2$ and $d$ copies of $1$ for any integer $d\ge2$.
In this article we obtain a general polynomial identity in $k$ variables, where $k\geq 2$ is an arbitrary positive integer. We use this identity to give a closed-form expression for the entries of the powers of a $k \times k$ matrix.…
In this note we present a combinatorial proof of an identity involving poly-Bernoulli numbers and Genocchi numbers. We introduce the combinatorial objects, $m-$barred Callan sequences and show that the identity holds in a more general…
The combinatorial hierarchical hyperbolicity criterion is a very useful way of constructing new hierarchically hyperbolic spaces (HHSs). We show that, conversely, HHSs satisfying natural assumptions (satisfied, for example, by mapping class…
We give a simple unified proof for all existing rational hypergeometric Ramanujan identities for $1/\pi$, and give a complete survey (without proof) of several generalizations: rational hypergeometric identities for $1/\pi^c$, Taylor…
Recently N.Jing discovered a certain combinatorial identity from validity of the Serre relations in some vertex representations of quantum Kac-Moody algebras. We generalize this identity, in particular, extending it from polynomials to…
Utilizing spectral residues of parameterized, recursively defined sequences, we develop a general method for generating identities of composition sums. Specific results are obtained by focusing on coefficient sequences of solutions of first…
We show the existence of regular combinatorial objects which previously were not known to exist. Specifically, for a wide range of the underlying parameters, we show the existence of non-trivial orthogonal arrays, t-designs, and t-wise…
Covering arrays are combinatorial objects that have been successfully applied in the design of test suites for testing systems such as software, circuits and networks, where failures can be caused by the interaction between their…
We establish two binomial coefficient--generalized harmonic sum identities using the partial fraction decomposition method. These identities are a key ingredient in the proofs of numerous supercongruences. In particular, in other works of…
This is an exposition of some new results on associated primes and the depth of different kinds of powers of monomial ideals in order to show a deep connection between commutative algebra and some objects in combinatorics such as simplicial…
In combinatorics, the probabilistic method is a very powerful tool to prove the existence of combinatorial objects with interesting and useful properties. Explicit constructions of objects with such properties are often very difficult, or…
We combinatorially prove Tetranacci, Tetranacci-Fibonacci, and additional identities using only squares and dominoes on a hexagonal double-strip. Some of these are new proofs of old identities, and others we believe have never been seen…
We give a proof of a recent combinatorial conjecture due to the first author, which was discovered in the framework of commutative algebra. This result gives rise to new companions to the famous Andrews-Gordon identities. Our tools involve…
Mathematical functions, which often appear in mathematical analysis, are referred to as special functions and have been studied over hundreds of years. Many books and dictionaries are available that describe their properties and serve as a…
The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we demonstrate how Riordan matrices can be employed to connect well-known concepts in geometric combinatorics, such as $f$-vectors, $h$-vectors $\gamma$-vectors, in a similar fashion to the McMullen…
Following the general strategy proposed by G.Rybnikov, we present a proof of his well-known result, that is, the existence of two arrangements of lines having the same combinatorial type, but non-isomorphic fundamental groups. To do so, the…
Hecke algebras are beautiful q-extensions of Coxeter groups. In this paper, we prove several results on their characters, with an emphasis on characters induced from trivial and sign representations of parabolic subalgebras. While most of…
The natural join and the inner union combine in different ways tables of a relational database. Tropashko [18] observed that these two operations are the meet and join in a class of lattices-called the relational lattices- and proposed…
We prove a summation formula for a bilateral series whose terms are products of two basic hypergeometric functions. In special cases, series of this type arise as matrix elements of quantum group representations.
