We prove that if a polynomial has a root mod $p$ for every large prime $p$, then it has a real root. As an application, we show that the primes can't be covered by finitely many positive definite binary quadratic forms.

This article examines the nontrivial solutions of the congruence \[ (p-1)\cdots(p-r) \equiv -1 \pmod p. \] We discuss heuristics for the proportion of primes $p$ that have exactly $N$ solutions to this congruence. We supply numerical…

We use topological methods to compute the mod p cohomology of certain p-groups. More precisely we look at central Frattini extensions of elementary abelian by elementary abelian groups such that their defining k-invariants span the entire…

Complex dynamical systems on the Riemann sphere do not possess ``invariant forms''. However there exist non-trivial examples of dynamical systems, defined over number fields, satisfying the property that their reduction modulo $\wp$…

Fix an odd prime $p$ and let $f$ be a non-ordinary eigen-cuspform of weight $k$ and level coprime to $p$. Assuming $p>k-1$, we compute asymptotic formulas for the Iwasawa invariants of the Mazur-Tate elements attached to $f$ in terms of the…

For each positive integer n, we determine the set of symmetric functions f for which the congruence f(p/1,p/2,...,p/(p-1)) \equiv 0 mod p^n holds for all sufficiently large primes p. Our determination is conditional on a conjecture…

We study translation invariant, real-valued valuations on the class of convex polytopes in Euclidean space and discuss which continuity properties are sufficient for an extension of such valuations to all convex bodies. For this purpose, we…

In this note, we give a nature action of the modular group on the ends of the infinite (p + 1)-cayley tree, for each prime p. We show that there is a unique invariant probability measure for each p.

We concern the VIGRE's conjecture; namely the complexity of a Specht module is the p-weight of the corresponding partition if and only if the partition is not p by p. In abelian defect case, we calculate the cohomological variety of the…

Many famous integer sequences including the Catalan numbers and the Motzkin numbers can be expressed in the form $ConstantTermOf\left[P(x)^nQ(x)\right]$ for Laurent polynomials $Q$, and symmetric Laurent trinomials $P$. In this paper we…

We show that a Buchsbaum simplicial complex of small codimension must have large depth. More generally, we achieve a similar result for ${\rm CM}_t$ simplicial complexes, a notion generalizing Buchsbaum-ness, and we prove more precise…

We study character varieties of symmetric knots and their reductions mod p. We observe that the varieties present a different behaviour according to whether the knots admit a free or periodic symmetry.

Let $F$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. The so-called supersingular representations are the basic building blocks in the theory of mod $p$ representations of ${\rm GL}_2(F)$. The space of pro-$p$-Iwahori invariants of a universal…

We show that the simple modules of the Rouquier blocks of symmetric groups, in characteristic $p$ and having $p$-weight $w$ with $w < p$, have a common complexity $w$, and that when $p$ is odd, $D^{(p+1,1^{p-1})}$ has complexity 1, while…

Consider a family of modular forms of weight 2, all of whose residual $\pmod{p}$ Galois representations are isomorphic. It is well-known that their corresponding Iwasawa $\lambda$-invariants may vary. In this paper, we study this variation…

Let $G$ be the unramified unitary group $U(2, 1)(E/F)$ over a non-archimedean local field $F$ of odd residue characteristic $p$. In this paper, for any supersingular representation of $G$ that contains the Steinberg weight, we prove its…

Let n be a positive odd integer and let p>n+1 be a prime. We mainly derive the following congruence: $$\sum_{0<i_1<...<i_n<p}(i_1/3)(-1)^{i_1}/(i_1...i_n)=0 (mod p).$$

For an odd prime $p$, we say a polynomial $f\in \mathbb F_p[X]$ computes square roots if $f(a)^2=a$ for all nonzero, perfect squares $a\in \mathbb F_p$. When $p\equiv 3 \mod 4$, it is easy to see that $f(X)=X^{\frac{p+1}{4}}$ is the…

We study the uniform distribution of the polynomial sequence $\lambda(P)=(\lfloor P(k) \rfloor )_{k\geq 1}$ modulo integers, where $P(x)$ is a polynomial with real coefficients. In the nonlinear case, we show that $\lambda(P)$ is uniformly…

We construct isomorphisms between spaces of vector-valued modular forms for the dual Weil representation and certain spaces of scalar-valued modular forms in the case that the underlying finite quadratic module $A$ has order $p$ or $2p$,…
