By using the Rodriguez-Villegas-Mortenson supercongruences, we prove four supercongruences on sums involving binomial coefficients, which were originally conjectured by Sun. We also confirm a related conjecture of Guo on integer-valued…

Motivated by weighted partition of $n$ that vanish if and only if $n$ is a prime, Craig, van Ittersum, and Ono conjecture a classification of quasimodular forms which detect primes in the sense that the $n$-th Fourier coefficient vanishes…

We show that various identities from [1] and [3] involving Gould-Hopper polynomials can be deduced from the real but also complex orthogonal invariance of multivariate Gaussian distributions. We also deduce from this principle a useful…

We prove a formula for weighted sums of the first $n$ coefficients of mock modular forms of moderate growth and apply it to Hurwitz class numbers and coefficients of negative half integral weight Eisenstein series, which take the form of…

Let $$ A_{m,n}(a)=\sum_{j=0}^m (-4)^j {m+j\choose 2j}\sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \sin(a+2k\pi/n) \cos^{2j}(a+2k\pi/n) $$ and $$ B_{m,n}(a)=\sum_{j=0}^m (-4)^j {m+j+1\choose 2j+1}\sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \sin(a+2k\pi/n) \cos^{2j+1}(a+2k\pi/n), $$ where $m\geq…

Zagier proved that the traces of singular moduli, i.e., the sums of the values of the classical j-invariant over quadratic irrationalities, are the Fourier coefficients of a modular form of weight 3/2 with poles at the cusps. Using the…

We bound Kloosterman-like sums of the shape \[ \sum_{n=1}^N \exp(2\pi i (x \lfloor f(n)\rfloor+ y \lfloor f(n)\rfloor^{-1})/p), \] with integers parts of a real-valued, twice-differentiable function $f$ is satisfying a certain limit…

We prove the analogue of an identity of Huard, Ou, Spearman and Williams and apply it to evaluate a variety of sums involving divisor functions in two variables. It turns out that these sums count representations of positive integers…

In this paper, we investigate the large deviations of sums of weighted random variables that are approximately independent, generalizing and improving some of the results of Montgomery and Odlyzko. We are motivated by examples arising from…

In this paper, we estimate the shifted convolution sum \[\sum_{n\geqslant1}\lambda_1(1,n)\lambda_2(n+h)V\Big(\frac{n}{X}\Big),\] where $V$ is a smooth function with support in $[1,2]$, $1\leqslant|h|\leqslant X$, $\lambda_1(1,n)$ and…

Recently, Z.-W. Sun introduced two kinds of polynomials related to the Delannoy numbers, and proved some supercongruences on sums involving those polynomials. We deduce new summation formulas for squares of those polynomials and use them to…

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…

We obtain closed form expressions for convolutions of scale transformations within a certain subset of Appell polynomials. This subset contains the Bernoulli, Apostol-Euler, and Cauchy polynomials, as well as various kinds of their…

By using contiguous relations for basic hypergeometric series, we give simple proofs of Bailey's $_4\phi_3$ summation, Carlitz's $_5\phi_4$ summation, Sears' $_3\phi_2$ to $_5\phi_4$ transformation, Sears' ${}_4\phi_3$ transformations,…

In this paper, we investigate the "angular changes" behavior of some subfamilies of Fourier coefficients of both integral and half-integral weight holomorphic cusp forms, thus one gets information about signs of the real an imaginary parts…

In this paper, a new identity for convex functions is derived. A consequence of the identity is that we can derive new estimates for the remainder term of the midpoint, trapezoid, and Simpson formulae for functions whose derivatives in…
