We use the method of tiling to give elementary combinatorial proofs of some celebrated $q$-series identities, such as Jacobi triple product identity, Rogers-Ramanujan identities, and some identities of Rogers. We give a tiling proof of the…

Characters and linear combinations of characters that admit a fermionic sum representation as well as a factorized form are considered for some minimal Virasoro models. As a consequence, various Rogers-Ramanujan type identities are…

In his recent work, Andrews revisited two-color partitions with certain restrictions on the differences between consecutive parts, and he established three theorems linking these two-color partitions with more familiar kinds of partitions.…

In the seventies, V. G. Drinfeld proved that a moduli problem of deformations by quasi-isogenies of certain $p$-divisible groups with extra actions is representable by an explicit semi-stable model of the $p$-adic symmetric space. This…

We define tensors, corresponding to cubic polynomials, which have the same exponent $\omega$ as the matrix multiplication tensor. In particular, we study the symmetrized matrix multiplication tensor $sM_n$ defined on an $n\times n$ matrix…

We resolve two problems pertaining to indefinite integral ternary quadratic forms, one highlighted by Margulis and the other initiated by Serre, both from 1990. To do so we develop tools for dealing with high ramification in problems…

In this short note, we prove several new congruences for the overcubic partition triples function, using both elementary techniques and the theory of modular forms. These extend the recent list of such congruences given by Nayaka,…

In this paper we establish a formula for the average of representation numbers of ternary quadratic forms in a spinor genus over a totally real number field. The significant fact about the formula is the fact that it is given in terms of…

Let $r_Q(n)$ be the representation number of a nonnegative integer $n$ by the quaternary quadratic form $Q=x_1^2+2x_2^2+x_3^2+x_4^2+x_1x_3+x_1x_4+x_2x_4$. We first prove the identity $r_Q(p^2n)=r_Q(p^2)r_Q(n)/r_Q(1)$ for any prime $p$…

In 1994, Dhar and Sinha provided a graphic representation in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$ of the classification of triangles based on similarity. In this article, we briefly recall their treatment and offer a generalization by providing a graphic…

In 1904, Dickson [5] stated a very important conjecture. Now people call it Dickson's conjecture. In 1958, Schinzel and Sierpinski [14] generalized Dickson's conjecture to the higher order integral polynomial case. However, they did not…

An integer of the form $p_m(x)= \frac{(m-2)x^2-(m-4)x}{2} \ (m\ge 3)$, for some integer $x$ is called a generalized polygonal number of order $m$. A ternary sum $\Phi_{i,j,k}^{a,b,c}(x,y,z)=ap_{i+2}(x)+bp_{j+2}(y)+cp_{k+2}(z)$ of…

We present a new proof of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities. Surprisingly, all its ingredients are available already in Rogers seminal paper from 1894, where he gave a considerably more complicated proof.

It is well-known that Lagrange's four-square theorem, stating that every natural number may be written as the sum of four squares, may be proved using methods from the classical theory of modular forms and theta functions. We revisit this…

This paper presents a simple proof of Dekel (1986)'s representation theorem for betweenness preferences. The proof is based on the separation theorem.

In this paper, we find formulas for the number of representations of certain diagonal octonary quadratic forms with coefficients $1,2,3,4$ and $6$. We obtain these formulas by constructing explicit bases of the space of modular forms of…

Multidimensional quaternion arrays (often referred to as "quaternion tensors") and their decompositions have recently gained increasing attention in various fields such as color and polarimetric imaging or video processing. Despite this…

We present a survey of recent results, scattered in a series of papers that appeared during past five years, whose common denominator is the use of cubic relations in various algebraic structures. Cubic (or ternary) relations can represent…

The Frobenius-Perron theory of an endofunctor of a category was introduced in recent years [12, 13]. We apply this theory to monoidal (or tensor) triangulated structures of quiver representations.

In this article we further develop methods for representing integers as a sum of three cubes. In particular, a barrier to solving the case $k=3$, which was outlined in a previous paper of the second author, is overcome. A very recent…
