Let $\mathcal{V}_p(\lambda)$ be the collection of all functions $f$ defined in the unit disc $\ID$ having a simple pole at $z=p$ where $0<p<1$ and analytic in $\ID\setminus\{p\}$ with $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$ and satisfying the differential…

We study the function $\Delta_k(x):=\sum_{n\leq x} d_k(n) - \mbox{Res}_{s=1} ( \zeta^k(s) x^s/s )$, where $k\geq 3$ is an integer, $d_k(n)$ is the $k$-fold divisor function, and $\zeta(s)$ is the Riemann zeta-function. For a large parameter…

We consider the damped nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation with a delta potential \begin{align*} \partial_{t}^2u-\partial_{x}^2u+2\alpha \partial_{t}u+u-\gamma {\delta}_0u-|u|^{p-1}u=0, \ & (t,x) \in \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}, \end{align*}…

We provide quantitative evidence for our previous conjecture which states an equivalence of the partition function of a 3d N=2 gauge theory on a duality wall and that of the SL(2,R) Chern-Simons theory on a mapping torus, for a class of…

In this paper we consider a family of Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg interpolation inequalities (CKN), with two radial power law weights and exponents in a subcritical range. We address the question of symmetry breaking: are the optimal…

Tur\'an, Mitrinovi\'c-Adamovi\'c and Wilker type inequalities are deduced for regular Coulomb wave functions. The proofs are based on a Mittag-Leffler expansion for the regular Coulomb wave function, which may be of independent interest.…

Let $d(n)$ be the number of divisors of $n$, let $\gamma$ denote Euler's constant and $$ \Delta(x) := \sum_{n\le x}d(n) - x(\log x + 2\gamma -1) $$ denote the error term in the classical Dirichlet divisor problem, and let $\zeta(s)$ denote…

We prove the equivalence of a class of generalised Schur partition functions $\mathcal Z_G(q;\alpha)$ of 4d $\mathcal N=2$ superconformal gauge theories to contour integral representations of vector-valued modular forms of the type that…

For rational functions, we use simple but elegant techniques to strengthen generalizations of certain results which extend some widely known polynomial inequalities of Erd\"os-Lax and Tur\'an to rational functions R. In return these…

We consider the higher order Tur\'an inequality and higher order log-concavity for sequences $\{a_n\}_{n \ge 0}$ such that \[ \frac{a_{n-1}a_{n+1}}{a_n^2} = 1 + \sum_{i=1}^m \frac{r_i(\log n)}{n^{\alpha_i}} + o\left( \frac{1}{n^{\beta}}…

We prove that if $G$ is a graph and $r_1, ..., r_k \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$ such that $\sum_{i=1}^k r_i \geq \Delta(G) + 2 - k$ then $V(G)$ can be partitioned into sets $V_1, ..., V_k$ such that $\Delta(G[V_i]) \leq r_i$ and $G[V_i]$…

We study the correlators of irregular vertex operators in two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) in order to propose an exact analytic formula for calculating numbers of partitions, that is: 1) for given $N,k$, finding the total…

To every partition $n=n_1+n_2+\cdots+n_s$ one can associate a vertex operator realization of the Lie algebras $a_{\infty}$ and $\hat{gl}_n$. Using this construction we obtain reductions of the $s$--component KP hierarchy, reductions which…

Motivated by some applications in applied mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics and engineering sciences, new tight Tur\'an type inequalities for modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind are deduced. These inequalities…

In 1939 Tur\'{a}n raised the question about lower estimations of the maximum norm of the derivatives of a polynomial $p$ of maximum norm $1$ on the compact set $K$ of the complex plain under the normalization condition that the zeroes of…

We consider $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric pure gauge theories on toric K\"ahler manifolds, with particular emphasis on $\mathbb{CP}^2$. By choosing a vector generating a $U(1)$ action inside the torus of the manifold, we construct…

Combinatorial batch codes provide a tool for distributed data storage, with the feature of keeping privacy during information retrieval. Recently, Balachandran and Bhattacharya observed that the problem of constructing such uniform codes in…

For integers $n,k,s$, we give a formula for the number $T(n,k,s)$ of order $k$ subsets of the ring $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ whose sum of elements is $s$ modulo $n$. To do so, we describe explicitly a sequence of matrices $M(k)$, for…

Let $U_n=U_n(P,Q)$ be a nondegenerate Lucas sequence with $Q=\pm 1$ and discriminant $\Delta=P^2+4Q>0$. We study Diophantine equations \[ A y^k=\prod_{i=1}^r U_{n_i}(P,Q), \qquad k\geq 2, \] where the indices $n_1,\ldots,n_r$ are pairwise…

We exhibit an unambiguous k-DNF formula that requires CNF width $\tilde{\Omega}(k^2)$, which is optimal up to logarithmic factors. As a consequence, we get a near-optimal solution to the Alon--Saks--Seymour problem in graph theory (posed in…
