We study the problem of perfect tiling in the plane and exploring the possibility of tiling a rectangle using integral distinct squares. Assume a set of distinguishable squares (or equivalently a set of distinct natural numbers) is given,…
We prove that an additive form of degree $d=2m$, $m$ odd, $m\ge3$, over the unramified quadratic extension $\mathbb{Q}_2(\sqrt{5})$ has a nontrivial zero if the number of variables $s$ satisifies $s \ge 4d+1$. If $3 \nmid d$, then there…
We provide the analytic forms of the distributions for the sum of ordered spacings. We do this both for the case where the boundaries are included in the calculation of the spacings and the case where they are excluded. Both the probability…
This paper considers a family of finite dimensional simple Lie superalgebras of Cartan type over a field of characteristic $p>3$, the so-called special odd contact superalgebras. First, the spanning sets are determined for the Lie…
We study graph complexes related to configuration spaces and diffeomorphism groups of highly connected manifolds of odd dimension. In particular we compute the cohomology in the "high genus" limit. This paper is a continuation of previous…
Motivated by a question of van der Poorten about the existence of infinite chain of prime numbers (with respect to some base), in this paper we advance the study of sequences of consecutive polynomials whose coefficients are chosen…
Multiple analogues of certain families of combinatorial numbers are recently constructed by the author in terms of well poised Macdonald functions, and some of their fundamental properties are developed. In this paper, we present…
For a positive integer $n$, let $\sigma(n)$ denote the sum of the positive divisors of $n$. Let $d$ be a proper divisor of $n$. We call $n$ a deficient-perfect number if $\sigma(n)=2n-d$. In this paper, we show that the only odd…
We define sets of orthogonal polynomials satisfying the additional constraint of a vanishing average. These are of interest, for example, for the study of the Hohenberg-Kohn functional for electronic or nucleonic densities and for the study…
It is shown that there exist infinitely many triangular numbers (congruent to 3 mod 12) which cannot be the distance between two perfect numbers.
In this paper we consider in detail the composition of an irreducible polynomial with X^2 and suggest a recurrent construction of irreducible polynomials of fixed degree over finite fields of odd characteristics. More precisely, given an…
In a recent paper, it is shown that functions of the form $L_1(x^3)+L_2(x^9)$, where $L_1$ and $L_2$ are linear, are a good source for construction of new infinite families of APN functions. In the present work we study necessary and…
We provide a large class of discrete amenable groups for which the complex group ring has several C*-completions, thus providing partial evidence towards a positive answer to a question raised by Rostislav Grigorchuk, Magdalena Musat and…
We extend the previous paper "Macdonald's evaluation ... and applications" to the non-symmetric polynomilas recently introduced by Macdonald (as difference counterparts of Opdam's non-symmetric ones).
We give necessary and sufficient condition for a sesquilinear form to be integrable with respect to a faithful normal state on a von Neumann algebra.
We derive an explicit sum formula for symmetric Macdonald polynomials. Our expression contains multiple sums over the symmetric group and uses the action of Hecke generators on the ring of polynomials. In the special cases $t=1$ and $q=0$,…
We identify conditions giving large natural classes of partial differential operators for which it is possible to construct a complete set of Laplace invariants. In order to do that we investigate general properties of differential…
We show that for any natural number $n$ satisfying $n\equiv 4 \mod 8$ and $n\not\equiv 0 \mod 5$, and for any odd integer $t\geq \frac{n+6}{2}$ there are infinitely many Salem numbers ${\alpha}$ of degree $2t$ such that ${\alpha}^n-1$ is a…
In this paper, we give a sufficient condition which makes the total complex of a cube exact. This can be regarded as a variant of the Buchsbaum-Eisenbud theorem which gives a characterization of what makes a complex of finitely generated…
Perfect difference families (PDFs for short) are important both in theoretical and in applications. Perfect difference matrices (PDMs for short) and the equivalent structure had been extensively studied and used to construct perfect…
