For each of the functions $f \in \{\phi, \sigma, \omega, \tau\}$ and every natural number $k$, we show that there are infinitely many solutions to the inequalities $f(p_n-1) < f(p_{n+1}-1) < \dots < f(p_{n+k}-1)$, and similarly for…

Fix irrational numbers $\alpha,\hat\alpha>1$ of finite type and real numbers $\beta,\hat\beta\ge 0$, and let $B$ and $\hat B$ be the Beatty sequences $$ B:=(\lfloor\alpha m+\beta\rfloor)_{m\ge 1}\quad\text{and}\quad\hat…

Let $b$ be an integer greater than or equal to $2$. For any integer $n\in \left[b^{\lambda-1}, b^{\lambda}-1\right]$, we denote by $R_\lambda (n)$ the reverse of $n$ in base $b$, obtained by reversing the order of the digits of $n$. We…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $F$ be a complete discretely valued field with residue field of characteristic $p$. For any parahoric level structure of the split even orthogonal similitude group $\operatorname{GO}_{2n}$ over $F$, we prove a…

In this paper, we prove two conjectural supercongruences on the $(p-1)$th Ap\'ery number, which were recently proposed by Z.-H. Sun.

For approximation numbers $a_n (C_\phi)$ of composition operators $C_\phi$ on weighted analytic Hilbert spaces, including the Hardy, Bergman and Dirichlet cases, with symbol $\phi$ of uniform norm $< 1$, we prove that $\lim_{n \to \infty}…

Let $D$ be a bounded strongly convex domain with smooth boundary in $\mathbb C^N$. Let $(\phi_t)$ be a continuous semigroup of holomorphic self-maps of $D$. We prove that if $p\in \partial D$ is an isolated boundary regular fixed point for…

We consider billiard trajectories in a smooth convex body in $\mathbb R^d$ and estimate the number of distinct periodic trajectories that make exactly $p$ reflections per period at the boundary of the body. In the case of prime $p$ we…

The B\^{o}cher-Grace Theorem can be stated as follows: Let $p$ be a third degree complex polynomial. Then there is a unique inscribed ellipse interpolating the midpoints of the triangle formed from the roots of $p$, and the foci of the…

Murthy and Sethi (Sankhya Ser B \textbf{27}, 201--210 (1965)) gave a sharp upper bound on the variance of a real random variable in terms of the range of values of that variable. We generalise this bound to the complex case and, more…

In this paper, we study some supercongruences involving the sequence $$ t_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom{n}{k}\binom{x}{k}\binom{x+k}{k}2^k $$ and solve some open problems. For any odd prime $p$ and $p$-adic integer $x$, we determine…

For a Latt\`es map $\phi:\mathbb P^1 \to \mathbb P^1$ defined over a number field $K$, we prove a conjecture on the integrality of points in the backward orbit of $P\in \mathbb P^1(\overline K)$ under $\phi$.

Assume that $p\in(1,\infty]$ and $u=P_{h}[\phi]$, where $\phi\in L^{p}(\mathbb{S}^{n-1},\mathbb{R}^{n})$. Then for any $x\in \mathbb{B}^{n}$, we obtain the sharp inequalities $$ |u(x)|\leq…

For $1<p<\infty$, we consider the following problem $$ -\Delta_p u=f(u),\quad u>0\text{ in }\Omega,\quad\partial_\nu u=0\text{ on }\partial\Omega, $$ where $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^N$ is either a ball or an annulus. The nonlinearity $f$ is…

Let $X$ be a finite set in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$. If the squared distance between any two distinct points in $X$ is an odd integer, then the cardinality of $X$ is bounded above by $d+2$, as shown by Rosenfeld (1997) or Smith…

In [14] Hemmer conjectures that the module of fixed points for the symmetric group $\Sigma_m$ of a Specht module for $\Sigma_n$ (with $n>m$), over a field of positive characteristic $p$, has a Specht series, when viewed as a…

For $p\ge 2$, and $\lambda>\max\{n|\tfrac 1p-\tfrac 12|-\tfrac12, 0\}$, we prove the pointwise convergence of cone multipliers, i.e. $$ \lim_{t\to\infty}T_t^\lambda(f)\to f \text{ a.e.},$$ where $f\in L^p(\mathbb R^n)$ satisfies $supp\…

Three results in p-convex geometry are established. First is the analogue of the Levi problem in several complex variables, namely: local p-convexity implies global p-convexity. The second asserts that the support of a minimal p-dimensional…

This paper develops a unified theory of natural superconvergence points for polynomial spline approximations to second-order elliptic problems. Beginning with the one-dimensional case, we establish that when a point $x_0$ is a local…

We prove a characteristic $p$ version of a theorem of Silverman on integral points in orbits over number fields and establish a primitive prime divisor theorem for polynomials in this setting. We provide some applications of these results,…
