Let $K<X> =K<X_1,...,X_n>$ be the free $K$-algebra on $X={X_1,...,X_n}$ over a field $K$, which is equipped with a weight $\mathbb{N}$-gradation (i.e., each $X_i$ is assigned a positive degree), and let ${\cal G}$ be a finite homogeneous…
We first introduce the arithmetic subderivative of a positive integer with respect to a non-empty set of primes. This notion generalizes the concepts of the arithmetic derivative and arithmetic partial derivative. More generally, we then…
First some old as well as new results about P.I. algebras, Ore extensions, and degrees are presented. Then quantized $n\times r$ matrices as well as quantized factor algebras of $M_q(n)$ are analyzed. The latter are the quantized function…
Let $F=\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$, $m>6$, $n$ a positive integer, and $f=p/q$ with $p$, $q$ co-prime irreducible polynomials in $F[x]$ and deg$(p)$ $+$ deg$(q)= n$. A sufficient condition has been obtained for the existence of primitive pairs…
We estimate the number $|\mathcal{A}_{\boldsymbol\lambda}|$ of elements on a nonlinear family $\mathcal{A}$ of monic polynomials of $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ of degree $r$ having factorization pattern…
A set of positive integers is said to be primitive if no element of the set is a multiple of another. If $S$ is a primitive set and $S(x)$ is the number of elements of $S$ not exceeding $x$, then a result of Erd\H os implies that…
Fix a commutative ring $\mathbf{k}$, two elements $\beta,\alpha\in\mathbf{k}$ and a positive integer $n$. Let $\mathcal{X}$ be the polynomial ring over $\mathbf{k}$ in the $n(n-1)/2$ indeterminates $x_{i,j}$ for all $1\leq i<j\leq n$.…
Celebrated theorems of Roth and of Matou\v{s}ek and Spencer together show that the discrepancy of arithmetic progressions in the first $n$ positive integers is $\Theta(n^{1/4})$. We study the analogous problem in the $\mathbb{Z}_n$ setting.…
We demonstrate $k+1$-term arithmetic progressions in certain subsets of the real line whose "higher-order Fourier dimension" is sufficiently close to 1. This Fourier dimension, introduced in previous work, is a higher-order (in the sense of…
Primitive roots of 1 mod p^k (k>2 and odd prime p) are sought, in cyclic units group G_k = A_k B_k mod p^k, coprime to p, of order (p-1)p^{k-1}. 'Core' subgroup A_k has order p-1 independent of k, and p+1 generates 'extension' subgroup B_k…
Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a number field of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. Let $\widehat{\mathbb{A}}$ be the set of integers of $\mathbb{K}$ which are primitive over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $I(\mathbb{K})$ be its index. Gunji and McQuillan defined the…
In [DGLW], we use certain special elements and their commutation relations in the Hecke-Clifford algebras $H^c_{r,R}$ to derive some fundamental multiplication formulas associated with the natural bases in queer $q$-Schur superalgebras…
Let $q$ be a prime power and $\phi$ a rational function with coefficients in a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. For $n \geq 1$, each element of $\mathbb{P}^1(\F_{q^n})$ is either periodic or strictly preperiodic under iteration of $\phi$.…
\begin{document} \begin This paper continues work of the earlier articles with the same title. For two classes of modular forms $f$: \begin{itemize} \item para-Eisenstein series $\alpha_{k}$ and \item coefficient forms ${}_a \ell_{k}$,…
We provide upper bounds on the density of a symmetric generalized arithmetic progression lacking nonzero elements of the form h(n) for natural numbers n, or h(p) with p prime, for appropriate polynomials h with integer coefficients. The…
Let $p$ be an odd prime and $r\geq 1$. Suppose that $\alpha$ is a $p$-adic integer with $\alpha\equiv2a\pmod p$ for some $1\leq a<(p+r)/(2r+1)$. We confirm a conjecture of Sun and prove that…
Let A be a central simple algebra over a field F. Let k_1,\ldots, k_r be cyclic extensions of F such that k_1\otimes_F\cdots \otimes_F k_r is a field. We investigate conditions under which A is a tensor product of symbol algebras where each…
Define $I_n^k(\alpha)$ to be the set of involutions of $\{1,2,...,n\}$ with exactly $k$ fixed points which avoid the pattern $\alpha \in S_i$, for some $i \geq 2$, and define $I_n^k(\emptyset;\alpha)$ to be the set of involutions of…
In this article, we study the Euler's factorial series $F_p(t)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty n!t^n$ in $p$-adic domain under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. First, we show that if we consider primes in $k\varphi(m)/(k+1)$ residue classes in the…
Let $p$ be a prime. If an integer $g$ generates a subgroup of index $t$ in $(\mathbb Z/p\mathbb Z)^*,$ then we say that $g$ is a $t$-near primitive root modulo $p$. We point out the easy result that each primitive residue class contains a…
