Michel proved that for a one-parameter family of elliptic curves over Q(T) with non-constant j(T) that the second moment of the number of solutions modulo p is p^2 + O(p^{3/2}). We show this bound is sharp by studying y^2 = x^3 + Tx^2 + 1.…

For a given complex finite dimensional subspace $S$ of $\mathbb{C}^n$ and a fixed basis, we study the compact and convex subset of $\left(\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}\right)^n$ that we call the moment of $S$ $m_S=$ convex hull…

We derive modular parametrizations for certain infinite series whose summands involve central binomial coefficients and higher-order harmonic numbers. When the rates of convergence are certain rational numbers, modularity allows us to…

Let $n_j$ be a lacunary sequence of integers, such that $n_{j+1}/n_j\geq r$. We are interested in linear combinations of the sequence of finite Riesz products $\prod_{j=1}^N(1+\cos(n_j t))$. We prove that, whenever the Riesz products are…

We consider $\ell$-log-momotonic sequences and Laguerre inequality of order two for sequences $\{a_n\}_{n \ge 0}$ such that \[ \frac{a_{n-1}a_{n+1}}{a_n^2} = 1 + \sum_{i=1}^m \frac{r_i(\log n)}{n^{\alpha_i}} + o\left( \frac{1}{n^{\beta}}…

We consider positively supported Borel measures for which all moments exist. On the set of compactly supported measures in this class a partial order is defined via eventual dominance of the moment sequences. Special classes are identified…

For $m,q \in \mathbb{N}$, we call an $m$-tuple $(a_1,\ldots,a_m) \in \prod_{i=1}^m (\mathbb{Z}/q\mathbb{Z})^\times$ good if there are infinitely many consecutive primes $p_1,\ldots,p_m$ satisfying $p_i \equiv a_i \pmod{q}$ for all $i$. We…

Let $\theta_1,\ldots,\theta_n$ be random variables from Dyson's circular $\beta$-ensemble with probability density function $\operatorname {Const}\cdot\prod_{1\leq j<k\leq n}|e^{i\theta_j}-e^{i\theta _k}|^{\beta}$. For each $n\geq2$ and…

Summability methods for ultraholomorphic classes in sectors, defined in terms of a strongly regular sequence $\mathbb{M}=(M_p)_{p\in\mathbb{N}_0}$, have been put forward by A. Lastra, S. Malek and the second author [1], and their validity…

Let $A^{(n)}_{l;k}\subset S_n$ denote the event that the set of $l$ consecutive numbers $\{k,k+1,\cdots, k+l-1\}$ appear in a set of $l$ consecutive positions. Let $p=\{p_j\}_{j=1}^\infty$ be a distribution on $\mathbb{N}$ with $p_j>0$. Let…

This article investigates sharp comparison of moments for various classes of random variables appearing in a geometric context. In the first part of our work we find the optimal constants in the Khintchine inequality for random vectors…

Solomonoff's central result on induction is that the posterior of a universal semimeasure M converges rapidly and with probability 1 to the true sequence generating posterior mu, if the latter is computable. Hence, M is eligible as a…

In this paper we study some sophisticated supercongruences involving dual sequences. For $n=0,1,2,\ldots$ define $$d_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk\binom xk2^k$$ and $$s_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk\binom xk\binom{x+k}k=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom…

Given a strictly increasing sequence $\Lambda=(\lambda_n)$ of nonegative real numbers, with $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{\lambda_n}<\infty$, the M\"untz spaces $M_\Lambda^p$ are defined as the closure in $L^p([0,1])$ of the monomials…

This survey paper is based on a talk given at the 44th Summer Symposium in Real Analysis in Paris. This line of research was initiated by a question of Haight and Weizs\"aker concerning almost everywhere convergence properties of series of…

We prove some sufficient conditions implying $l^p$ inequalities of the form $||x||_p \leq ||y||_p$ for vectors $ x, y \in [0,\infty)^n$ and for $p$ in certain positive real intervals. Our sufficient conditions are strictly weaker than the…

A sequence $\{z_n\}_{n\geq0}$ is called ratio log-convex in the sense that the ratio sequence $\{\frac{z_{n+1}}{z_n}\}_{n\geq0}$ is log-convex. Based on a three-term recurrence for sequences, we develop techniques for dealing with the ratio…

The bounds for absolute moments of order statistics are established. Let $X_1,\dots ,X_n$ be independent identically distributed real-valued random variables and let $X_{1:n}\le \dots \le X_{n:n}$ be the corresponding order statistics. The…

We introduce a new class of numerical semigroups, which we call the class of {\it acute} semigroups and we prove that they generalize symmetric and pseudo-symmetric numerical semigroups, Arf numerical semigroups and the semigroups generated…
