Let $\Delta(x)$ be the error term of the Dirichlet divisor problem. The asymptotic formula of the integral $\int_1^T\Delta^k(x)dx$ is established for any integer $3\leq k\leq 9$ by an unified method. Similar results are also established for…

We determine the asymptotic density $\delta_k$ of the set of ordered $k$-tuples $(n_1,...,n_k)\in \N^k, k\ge 2$, such that there exists no prime power $p^a$, $a\ge 1$, appearing in the canonical factorization of each $n_i$, $1\le i\le k$,…

For each $n\geq 1$, we express the partition function $p(n)$ as a CM trace on $X_0(6)$ of the discriminant $\Delta_n:=1-24n$ invariants of a weight 0 weak Maass function $P$ that records where CM elliptic curves sit on $X(1)$, together with…

An asymptotic formula is proved for the k-fold divisor function averaged over homogeneous polynomials of degree k in k-1 variables coming from incomplete norm forms.

We prove an asymptotic formula for the shifted convolution of the divisor functions $d_k(n)$ and $d(n)$ with $k \geq 4$, which is uniform in the shift parameter and which has a power-saving error term, improving results obtained previously…

Let $A_{t,k}(n)$ denote the number of partition $k$-tuples of $n$ where each partition is $t$-core. In this paper, we establish formulas of $A_{t,k}(n)$ for some values of $t$ and $k$ by employing the method of modular forms, which extends…

In this paper, we formulate a rational analog of the fall Delta theorem and the Delta square conjecture. We find a new dinv statistic on fall-decorated paths on a $(m+k) \times (n+k)$ rectangle that simultaneously extends the previously…

The orthogonal polynomials $p_n$ satisfy Tur\'an's inequality if $p_n^2(x)-p_{n-1}(x)p_{n+1}(x)\ge 0$ for $n\ge 1$ and for all $x$ in the interval of orthogonality. We give general criteria for orthogonal polynomials to satisfy Tur\'an's…

The well-known "necklace splitting theorem" of Alon asserts that every $k$-colored necklace can be fairly split into $q$ parts using at most $t$ cuts, provided $k(q-1)\leq t$. In a joint paper with Alon et al. we studied a kind of opposite…

Conformal symmetry is broken by a flat or spherical defect operator $\mathcal{D}$. We show that this defect operator, may be identified as a pair of twist operators which are inserted at the tips of its causal diamond. Any $k-$point…

Let $d(n)$ denote the Dirichlet divisor function. Define \begin{equation*} \mathcal{S}_{k}(x)=\sum_{\substack{1\leqslant n_1,n_2,n_3 \leqslant x^{1/2} \\ 1\leqslant n_4\leqslant x^{1/k} }} d(n_1^2+n_2^2+n_3^2+n_4^k), \qquad 3\leqslant k\in…

Let $\tau_k$ be the $k$-fold divisor function. By constructing an approximant of $\tau_k$, denoted as $\tau_k^*$, which is a normalized truncation of the $k$-fold divisor function, we prove that when $\exp\left(C\log^{1/2}X(\log\log…

We study the number of $k \times r$ plane partitions, weighted on the sum of the first row. Using Erhart reciprocity, we prove an identity for the generating function. For the special case $k=1$ this result follows from the classical theory…

Let $i(n,k)$ be the proportion of permutations $\pi\in\mathcal{S}_n$ having an invariant set of size $k$. In this note we adapt arguments of the second author to prove that $i(n,k) \asymp k^{-\delta} (1+\log k)^{-3/2}$ uniformly for $1\leq…

The $k$-Young lattice $Y^k$ is a partial order on partitions with no part larger than $k$. This weak subposet of the Young lattice originated from the study of the $k$-Schur functions(atoms) $s_\lambda^{(k)}$, symmetric functions that form…

Let $k \ge 2$ be a fixed integer. We define the multiplicative function $D_k(n) = d_k(n)/d_k^*(n)$, such that $d_k(n)$ is the Piltz divisor function and $d_k^*(n) = k^{\omega(n)}$ is its unitary analogue, where $\omega(n)$ is the number of…

We establish for $2 \le k \le n-1$ the strict concavity of the function $f_k(\lambda)=\log(\sigma_k(\lambda))$ on a subset of the positive cone $\Gamma_n=\{\lambda=(\lambda_{1}, \lambda_{2}, \cdots,\lambda_{n})\in \mathbb{R}^n;…
