We begin with (densely-defined) fractional linear transformations (FLT) on (some) Banach algebras and their relatives. This leads to Wedderburn's continued fractions (recursively-defined noncommutative polynomials) for any ring. Along the…

In this paper we establish new integral representations for the remainder term of the known asymptotic expansion of the logarithm of the Barnes $G$-function. Using these representations, we obtain explicit and numerically computable error…

Let $F(x,y)$ be a polynomial over the rationals. We show that if $F$ is not an expander (over the rationals) then it has a special multiplicative or additive form. For example if $F$ is a homogeneous non-expander polynomial then…

Two well studied Ramsey-theoretic problems consider subsets of the natural numbers which either contain no three elements in arithmetic progression, or in geometric progression. We study generalizations of this problem, by varying the kinds…

Let $L(s,\chi)$ be a fixed Dirichlet $L$-function. Given a vertical arithmetic progression of $T$ points on the line $\Re(s)=1/2$, we show that $\gg T \log T$ of them are not zeros of $L(s,\chi)$. This result provides some theoretical…

We study the probabilistic behaviour of the continued fraction expansion of a quadratic irrational number, when weighted by some "additive" cost. We prove asymptotic Gaussian limit laws, with an optimal speed of convergence. We deal with…

Recently, Wald and Henkel (2018) derived the leading-order estimate of the Humbert functions $\Phi_2$, $\Phi_3$ and $\Xi_2$ for two large arguments, but their technique cannot handle the Humbert function $\Psi_1$. In this paper, we…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be an open, connected subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$, and let $F\colon\Omega-\Omega\to\mathbb{C}$, where $\Omega-\Omega=\{x-y\colon x,y\in\Omega\}$, be a continuous positive definite function. We give necessary and…

The problem to decide whether a given rational function in several variables is positive, in the sense that all its Taylor coefficients are positive, goes back to Szeg\H{o} as well as Askey and Gasper, who inspired more recent work. It is…

We provide a complete classification of possible graphs of rational preperiodic points of quadratic rational functions defined over the rationals with a rational periodic critical point of period 3, under two assumptions: that these…

We introduce the notion of "quasi-symmetric" polynomials, which is a generalization of the notion of symmetry, and is particularly suited to the setting of polynomial rings over finite fields. The properties of this new class of functions…

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of fractional differential equations of the form $D^{\alpha}_Cu(t)=Au(t)+f(t)$ on the half line, where $D^{\alpha}_Cu(t)$ is the derivative of the function $u$ in Caputo's sense,…

The algebraic properties of formal power series, whose coefficients show factorial growth and admit a certain well-behaved asymptotic expansion, are discussed. It is shown that these series form a subring of $\mathbb{R}[[x]]$. This subring…

Let $q, n, m \in \mathbb{N}$ be such that $q$ is a prime power and $a, b \in \mathbb{F}$. In this article we establish a sufficient condition for the existence of a primitive normal pair $(\alpha, f(\alpha)) \in \mathbb{F}_{q^m}$ over…

Let $A$ be a finite subset of $\ffield$, the field of Laurent series in $1/t$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We show that for any $\epsilon>0$ there exists a constant $C$ dependent only on $\epsilon$ and $q$ such that…

In this paper we study the dynamical behaviour of a simple cosmological model defined by a spatially flat Robertson-Walker geometry, conformally coupled with a massive scalar field. We determine a Lyapunov-like function for the non-linear…

In this work we propose a multi-valued extension of logic programs under the stable models semantics where each true atom in a model is associated with a set of justifications, in a similar spirit than a set of proof trees. The main…

We establish asymptotic formulas for counting rational points near finite type curves on the plane, generalizing Huang's result.

We prove that for any FAb compact $p$-adic analytic group $G$, its representation zeta function is a finite sum of terms $n_{i}^{-s}f_{i}(p^{-s})$, where $n_{i}$ are natural numbers and $f_{i}(t)\in\mathbb{Q}(t)$ are rational functions.…

In this note, we prove the existence of a secondary term in the asymptotic formula of the cubic moment of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions $$\sum_{\substack{d - \mathrm{monic \, \& \, sq. \, free} \mathrm{deg}\, d \, = \, D}}…
