We provide a power-saving bound for certain smoothed shifted convolution sums for Fourier coefficients of Siegel cusp forms. This result is the first nontrivial estimate for a shifted convolution sum with two cusp forms on a group of higher…
We derive an identity for certain linear combinations of polylogarithm functions with negative exponents, which implies relations for linear combinations of Eulerian numbers. The coefficients of our linear combinations are related to…
Modular graph functions associate to a graph an $SL(2,Z)$-invariant function on the upper half plane. We obtain the Fourier series of modular graph functions of arbitrary weight $w$ and two-loop order. The motivation for this work is to…
Kohnen and Sengupta proved that two cusp forms of different integral weights with real algebraic Fourier coefficients have infinitely many Fourier coefficients of the same as well as of opposite sign, up to the action of a Galois…
Let $\tau$ denote the divisor function, and $f$ be any multiplicative function that satisfies some mild hypotheses. We establish the asymptotic formula or non-trivial upper bound for the shifted convolution sum $\sum_{n \leq…
We produce nontrivial asymptotic estimates for shifted sums of the form $\sum a(h)b(m)c(2m-h)$, in which $a(n),b(n),c(n)$ are un-normalized Fourier coefficients of holomorphic cusp forms. These results are unconditional, but we demonstrate…
One variant of the $q$-Catalan polynomials is defined in terms of Gaussian polynomials by $\mathcal{C}_k(q)=\genfrac{[}{]}{0pt}{}{2k}{k}_q-q\genfrac{[}{]}{0pt}{}{2k}{k+1}_q$. Liu studied congruences of the form $\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}…
The class of Lambert series generating functions (LGFs) denoted by $L_{\alpha}(q)$ formally enumerate the generalized sum-of-divisors functions, $\sigma_{\alpha}(n) = \sum_{d|n} d^{\alpha}$, for all integers $n \geq 1$ and fixed real-valued…
We introduce a natural definition for sums of the form \[ \sum_{\nu=1}^x f(\nu) \] when the number of terms x is a rather arbitrary real or even complex number. The resulting theory includes the known interpolation of the factorial by the…
Let $\lambda_{\phi}(n)$ be the Fourier coefficients of a Hecke holomorphic or Hecke--Maass cusp form on ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$, and $f$ be any multiplicative function that satisfies two mild hypotheses. We establish a non-trivial upper…
We prove a formal power series identity, relating the arithmetic sum-of-divisors function to commuting triples of permutations. This establishes a conjecture of Franklin T. Adams-Watters.
In this note, we study the arithmetic nature of values of modular functions, meromorphic modular forms and meromorphic quasi-modular forms with respect to arbitrary congruence subgroups, that have algebraic Fourier coefficients. This…
The discrete Fourier transform of the greatest common divisor is a multiplicative function that generalises both the gcd-sum function and Euler's totient function. On the one hand it is the Dirichlet convolution of the identity with…
Let $f$ be a holomorphic or Maass cusp forms for $ \rm SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ with normalized Fourier coefficients $\lambda_f(n)$ and \bna r_{\ell}(n)=\#\left\{(n_1,\cdots,n_{\ell})\in \mathbb{Z}^2:n_1^2+\cdots+n_{\ell}^2=n\right\}. \ena Let…
Let $d,n$ be positive integers and $S$ be an arbitrary set of positive integers. We say that $d$ is an $S$-divisor of $n$ if $d|n$ and gcd $(d,n/d)\in S$. Consider the $S$-convolution of arithmetical functions given by (1.1), where the sum…
We give a characterisation of the field into which quotients of values of L-functions associated to a cusp form belong. The construction involves shifted convolution series of divisor sums and to establish it we combine parts of F. Brown's…
We evaluate the convolution sums $\sum_{l,m\in {\mathbb N}, {l+15m=n}} \sigma(l) \sigma(m)$ and $\sum_{l,m\in {\mathbb N}, {3l+5m=n}} \sigma(l) \sigma(m)$ for all $n\in {\mathbb N}$ using the theory of quasimodular forms and use these…
We study the signs of the Fourier coefficients of a newform. Let $f$ be a normalized newform of weight $k$ for $\Gamma_0(N)$. Let $a_f(n)$ be the $n$th Fourier coefficient of $f$. For any fixed positive integer $m$, we study the…
We provide an exposition of q-identities with multiple sums related to divisor functions given by Dilcher, Prodinger, Fu and Lascoux, Zeng, Guo and Zhang. Meanwhile, for each of these identities, a more powerful statement will be derived…
We extend some of the results of Agler, Knese, and McCarthy [1] to $n$-tuples of commuting isometries for $n>2$. Let $\mathbb{V}=(V_1,\dots,V_n)$ be an $n$-tuple of a commuting isometries on a Hilbert space and let Ann$(\mathbb{V})$ denote…
