We improve unconditional estimates on $\Delta_k(x)$, the remainder term of the generalised divisor function, for large $k$. In particular, we show that $\Delta_k(x) \ll x^{1 - 1.889k^{-2/3}}$ for all sufficiently large fixed $k$.

In this paper we consider a fragment of the first-order theory of the real numbers that includes systems of equations of continuous functions in bounded domains, and for which all functions are computable in the sense that it is possible to…

Let $f$ be an inner function with $f(0)=0$ which is not a rotation and let $f^{n}$ be its $n$-th iterate. Let $\{a_{n}\}$ be a sequence of complex numbers. We prove that the series $\sum a_{n}f^{n}(\xi)$ converges at almost every point…

Let $g_0,\dots,g_k: {\bf N} \to {\bf D}$ be $1$-bounded multiplicative functions, and let $h_0,\dots,h_k \in {\bf Z}$ be shifts. We consider correlation sequences $f: {\bf N} \to {\bf Z}$ of the form $$ f(a):= \widetilde{\lim}_{m \to…

In the context of the shuffle theorem, many classical integer sequences appear with a natural refinement by two statistics $q$ and $t$: for example the Catalan and Schr\"oder numbers. In particular, the bigraded Hilbert series of diagonal…

We consider the number of the $6$-regular partitions of $n$, $b_6(n)$, and give infinite families of congruences modulo $3$ (in arithmetic progression) for $b_6(n)$. We also consider the number of the partitions of $n$ into distinct parts…

Time-dependent fractional-derivative problems $D_t^\delta u + Au = f$ are considered, where $D_t^\delta$ is a Caputo fractional derivative of order $\delta\in (0,1)\cup (1,2)$ and~$A$ is a classical elliptic operator, and appropriate…

The multiplicative anomaly related to the functional regularized determinants involving products of elliptic operators is introduced and some of its properties discussed. Its relevance concerning the mathematical consistency is stressed.…

In a recent paper, Rose proves that certain generalized sum-of-divisor functions are quasi-modular forms for some congruence subgroup and conjectures that these forms are quasi-modular for $\Gamma_1(n)$. Here, we prove this conjecture.

We prove that any given function can be smoothly approximated by functions lying in the kernel of a linear operator involving at least one fractional component. The setting in which we work is very general, since it takes into account…

It is known that the Bessel--Fourier coefficients $f_m$ of a function $f$ such that $\sqrt{x}f(x)$ is integrable over $[0,1]$ satisfy $f_m/\sqrt{m}\to 0$. We show a partial converse, namely that for $0\leq \alpha<1/2$ and any non-negative…

Paul Erdos and Carl Pomerance have proofs on an asymptotic upper bound on the number of preimages of Euler's totient function $\phi$ and the sum-of-divisors functions $\sigma$. In this paper, we will extend the upper bound to the number of…

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the number of solutions $(m, n)\in \mathbb{N}^2$ to the inequality $ | \alpha^n - \beta^m | \leq x $ when $x$ tends to infinity. Here $\alpha, \beta$ are given multiplicatively independent…

We recently introduced the recursive divisor function $\kappa_x(n)$, a recursive analogue of the usual divisor function. Here we calculate its Dirichlet series, which is ${\zeta(s-x)}/(2 - \zeta(s))$. We show that $\kappa_x(n)$ is related…

It oftens occurs that Taylor coefficients of (dimensionally regularized) Feynman amplitudes $I$ with rational parameters, expanded at an integral dimension $D= D_0$, are not only periods (Belkale, Brosnan, Bogner, Weinzierl) but actually…

In this paper the Mittag-Leffler function is given through the exponential functions for any rational derivatives of m/n order, where m<n, n>1 are natural irreducible numbers (if n=1 then m is also equal to unity). Unlike the previous…

We study partitions of complex numbers as sums of non-negative powers of a fixed algebraic number $\beta$. We prove that if $\beta$ is real quadratic, then the number of partitions is always finite if and only if some conjugate of $\beta$…

The functional determinant multiplicative anomaly, or defect, is more closely investigated and explicit forms for products of linear operators are produced. I also present formulae for the defect of products of second order operators in…

By restricting the variables running over various (possibly different) subfields, we introduce the notion of a partial zeta function. We prove that the partial zeta function is rational in an interesting case, generalizing Dwork's well…

The parametric equations of the surfaces on which highly resonant quasi-periodic motions develop (lower-dimensional tori) cannot be analytically continued, in general, in the perturbation parameter, i.e. they are not analytic functions of…
