In connection with Eisenstein series for the principal congruence subgroup $\Gamma(n)$, Hecke introduced certain numbers, of which he said that they are rational and cumbersome to calculate. We show, however, that these numbers are…

The Toeplitz algebra $\mathcal{T}C^{*}(\Lambda)$ for a finite $k$-graph $\Lambda$ is equipped with a continuous one-parameter group $\alpha^{r}$ for each $ r\in \mathbb{R}^{k}$, obtained by composing the map $\mathbb{R} \ni t \to…

In $1801$, Gauss found an explicit description, in the language of binary quadratic forms, for the $2$-torsion of the narrow class group and dual narrow class group of a quadratic number field. This is now known as Gauss's genus theory. In…

Let $\lambda$ be the Liouville function, defined as $\lambda(n) := (-1)^{\Omega(n)}$ where $\Omega(n)$ is the number of prime factors of $n$ with multiplicity. In 2021, Helfgott and Radziwi{\l}{\l} proved that $$\sum_{n\leq x} \frac{1}{n}…

Amplitudes $A_n$ in $d$-dimensional scalar field theory are generated, to all orders in the coupling constant and at $n$-point. The amplitudes are expressed as a series in the mass $m$ and coupling $\lambda$. The inputs are the classical…

A long-standing conjecture of Littlewood about simultaneous Diophantine approximation has an analogous problem for a field of formal Laurent series $\mathbb{F}(\!(t^{-1})\!)$. That is, we can ask whether for any series $\Theta$, $\Phi$ and…

We prove that all algebraic bases $\beta$ allow an eventually periodic representations of the elements of $\mathbb Q(\beta)$ with a finite alphabet of digits $\mathcal A$. Moreover, the classification of bases allowing that those…

These are expanded notes from graduate courses about Lie algebras and Chevalley groups held at the University of Stuttgart. In the 1950s Chevalley showed how linear groups over arbitrary fields could be obtained~ -- ~by a uniform procedure~…

The Gauss--Lucas theorem states that any convex set $K\subset\mathbb{C}$ which contains all $n$ zeros of a degree $n$ polynomial $p\in\mathbb{C}[z]$ must also contain all $n-1$ critical points of $p$. In this paper we explore the following…

In this note, we show that if $N$ is an odd perfect number and $q^{\alpha}$ is some prime power exactly dividing it, then $\sigma(N/q^{\alpha})/q^{\alpha}>5$. In general, we also show that if $\sigma(N/q^{\alpha})/q^{\alpha}<K$, where $K$…

The algebraic lambda calculus and the linear algebraic lambda calculus are two extensions of the classical lambda calculus with linear combinations of terms. They arise independently in distinct contexts: the former is a fragment of the…

For any Kumjian-Pask algebra $KP_R(\Lambda)$ defined over a $k$-graph $\Lambda$ of a special kind (a "standard $k$-graph"), we obtain an $R$-basis.

We prove that a finite dimensional algebra $\Lambda$ is $\tau-$tilting finite if and only if all the bricks over $\Lambda$ are finitely generated. This is obtained as a consequence of the existence of proper locally maximal torsion classes…

For a partition of $[0,1]$ into intervals $I_1,\ldots,I_n$ we prove the existence of a partition of $\mathbb{Z}$ into $\Lambda_1,\ldots, \Lambda_n$ such that the complex exponential functions with frequencies in $ \Lambda_k$ form a Riesz…

Consider exponential Carmichael function $\lambda^{(e)}$ such that $\lambda^{(e)}$ is multiplicative and $\lambda^{(e)}(p^a) = \lambda(a)$, where $\lambda$ is usual Carmichael function. We discuss the value of $\sum \lambda^{(e)}(n)$, where…

Let $K[X_d]=K[x_1,\ldots,x_d]$ be the polynomial algebra in $d$ variables over a field $K$ of characteristic 0. The classical theorem of Weitzenb\"ock from 1932 states that for linear locally nilpotent derivations $\delta$ (known as…

Let $f(q)=1+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \alpha(n)q^n$ be the well-known third order mock theta of Ramanujan. In 1964, George Andrews proved an asymptotic formula of the form $$\alpha(n)= \sum_{c\leq\sqrt{n}}…

For every finite-to-one map $\lambda:\Gamma\to\Gamma$ and for every abelian group $K$, the generalized shift $\sigma_\lambda$ of the direct sum $\bigoplus_\Gamma K$ is the endomorphism defined by…

In his seminal paper, half a century ago, Hyman Bass established a commutator formula in the setting of (stable) general linear group which was the key step in defining the K_1 group. Namely, he proved that for an associative ring A with…

We start with a brief survey on the Northcott property for subfields of the algebraic numbers $\Qbar$. Then we introduce a new criterion for its validity (refining the author's previous criterion), addressing a problem of Bombieri. We show…
