We know that any finite abelian group $G$ appears as a subgroup of infinitely many multiplicative groups $\mathbb{Z}_n^\times$ (the abelian groups of size $\phi(n)$ that are the multiplicative groups of units in the rings…

Considering a finite group $G$, for any element $x\in G$, the solvabilizer of $x$ in $G$ is defined as $Sol_G(x)=\{y \in G : \langle x, y \rangle \text{ is solvable}\}$. In this paper, we introduce $Solv(G)$ as the number of distinct…

We introduce a collection of polynomials $F_N$, associated to each positive integer $N$, whose divisibility properties yield a reformulation of the Goldbach conjecture. While this reformulation certainly does not lead to a resolution of the…

A computable ring is a ring equipped with mechanical procedure to add and multiply elements. In most natural computable integral domains, there is a computational procedure to determine if a given element is prime/irreducible. However,…

Let $P(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a polynomial. We give an easy and new proof of the fact that the set of primes $p$ such that $p \mid P(n)$, for some $n \in \mathbb{Z}$, is infinite. We also get analog of this result for some special…

Let g:X -> Y be a smooth (i.e. C^\infty differentiable) map between two smooth manifolds. In analogy with the case of complex polynomial functions, we say that y_0 in Y is a typical value of g if there exists an open neighbourhood U of y_0…

We study the existence of non-special divisors of degree $g$ and $g-1$ for algebraic function fields of genus $g\geq 1$ defined over a finite field $\F_q$. In particular, we prove that there always exists an effective non-special divisor of…

Answering a question asked by Hsia and Tucker in their paper on the finiteness of greatest common divisors of iterates of polynomials, we prove that if $f, g \in \mathbb{C}(X)$ are compositionally independent rational functions and $c \in…

Let K be a number field, let f(x) in K(x) be a rational function of degree d> 1, and let z in K be a wandering point such that f^n(z) is nonzero for all n > 0. We prove that if the abc-conjecture holds for K, then for all but finitely many…

Euler function $\phi(n)$ is the number of positive integers less than $n$ and relatively prime to $n$. Suppose that $\phi^1(n)=\phi(n)$ and $\phi^i(n)=\phi(\phi^{i-1}(n))$. Let $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}$, and $A_{\phi}=\{ \phi^k(n)| n\in A ,…

Finite Euler product is known to be one of the classical zeta functions in number theory. In [1], [2] and [3], we have introduced some multivariable zeta functions and studied their definable probability distributions on R^d. They include…

Let G be a locally compact group and let $\phi$ be a positive definite function on G with $\phi(e)=1$. This function defines a multiplication operator $M_\phi$ on the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of $G$. The aim of this paper is to classify the…

Jakhar shown that for $f(x)=a_nx^n + a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\cdot+ a_0$ ($a_0\neq 0$) is a polynomial with rational coefficients, if there exists a prime integer $p$ satisfying $\nu_p(a_n)=0$ and $n\nu_p(a_i)\ge (n-i)\nu_p(a_0)> 0$ for every $0\le…

Let $G$ be a one-dimensional $\ell$-subgroup of the group $\mathcal{F}(X,\mathbb{Z})$ of integer-valued functions on a set $X$. We show that $G$ is free under some hypothesis on the spectrum of $G$ and on its quotient groups at the prime…

Much progress has been made on the problem of calculating $g(n)$ for various classes of integers $n$, where $g$ is the group-counting function. We approach the inverse problem of solving the equations $g(n) = 6$ and $g(n) = 7$ in $n$. The…

We define an enumerative function F(n,k,P,m) which is a generalization of binomial coefficients. Special cases of this function are also power function, factorials, rising factorials and falling factorials. The first section of the paper is…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $d$ the degree of a complex irreducible character of $G$, then write $|G|=d(d+e)$ where $e$ is a nonnegative integer. We prove that $|G|\leq e^4-e^3$ whenever $e>1$. This bound is best possible and improves on…

We classify all strongly real conjugacy classes of the finite unitary group $\U(n, F_q)$ when $q$ is odd. In particular, we show that $g \in \U(n, F_q)$ is strongly real if and only if $g$ is an element of some embedded orthogonal group…

A composite positive integer $n$ has the Lehmer property if $\phi(n)$ divides $n-1,$ where $\phi$ is an Euler totient function. In this note we shall prove that if $n$ has the Lehmer property, then $n\leq 2^{2^{K}}-2^{2^{K-1}}$, where $K$…

For two sets $A$ and $M$ of positive integers and for a positive integer $n$, let $p(n,A,M)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ with parts in $A$ and multiplicities in $M$, that is, the number of representations of $n$ in the form…
