In this article we prove that for all primes $p\not=2,3$, the Ramanujan vector field has an invariant algebraic curve and then we give a moduli space interpretation of this curve in terms of Cartier operator acting on the de Rham cohomology…

We prove that there are infinitely many solutions of $$ |\lambda_0+\lambda_1p+\lambda_2P_r|<p^{-\tau}, $$ where $r=3,$ $\tau=\frac1{118}$, and $\lambda_0$ is an arbitrary real number and $\lambda_1,\lambda_2\in\BR$ with $\lambda_2\neq0$ and…

In the 1960s Atkin discovered congruences modulo primes $\ell\leq 31$ for the partition function $p(n)$ in arithmetic progressions modulo $\ell Q^3$, where $Q\neq \ell$ is prime. Recent work of the first author with Allen and Tang shows…

Let $X$ denote a connected $(q+1)$-regular undirected graph of finite order $n$. The graph $X$ is called Ramanujan whenever $$ |\lambda|\leq 2q^{\frac{1}{2}} $$ for all nontrivial eigenvalues $\lambda$ of $X$. We consider the variant…

The $n$th Ramanujan prime is the smallest positive integer $R_n$ such that for all $x \geq R_n$ the interval $(x/2, x]$ contains at least $n$ primes. In this paper we undertake a study of the sequence $(\pi(R_n))_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$, which…

In a previous paper arXiv:2406.06294 [math.NT], the author proved the exact formulae for ranks of partitions modulo each prime $p\geq 5$. In this paper, for $p=5$ and $7$, we prove special vanishing properties of the Kloosterman sums…

Let $\mathrm{pod}(n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ with odd parts distinct, and ${{r}_{k}}(n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ as sum of $k$ squares. We find the following two arithmetic relations: for any integer $n\ge…

Let $p\geq 5$ be a prime number. We generalize the results of E. de Shalit about supersingular $j$-invariants in characteristic $p$. We consider supersingular elliptic curves with a basis of $2$-torsion over $\overline{\mathbf{F}}_p$, or…

Given a prime $p\geq 5$, we reduce modulo p a convolution of order p-1 of powers of two weighted Bernoulli numbers with Bernoulli numbers in terms of harmonic numbers and generalized harmonic numbers. Our proof is based on studying the…

A pre-modular form $Z_n(\sigma; \tau)$ of weight $\tfrac{1}{2} n(n + 1)$ is introduced for each $n \in \Bbb N$, where $(\sigma, \tau) \in \Bbb C \times \Bbb H$, such that for $E_\tau = \Bbb C/(\Bbb Z + \Bbb Z \tau)$, every non-trivial zero…

Let $\Bbb Z$ and $\Bbb Z^+$ be the set of integers and the set of positive integers, respectively. For $a,b,c,d,n\in\Bbb Z^+$ let $t(a,b,c,d;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by $ax(x+1)/2+by(y+1)/2+cz(z+1)/2+dw(w+1)/2$…

In this paper, using properties of Ramanujan sums and of the discrete Fourier transform of arithmetic functions, we give an explicit formula for the number of solutions of the linear congruence $a_1x_1+\cdots +a_kx_k\equiv b \pmod{n}$, with…

Let $p$ be a prime number. Continuing and extending our previous paper with the same title, we prove explicit rates of overconvergence for modular functions of the form $\frac{E_k^{\ast}}{V(E_k^{\ast})}$ where $E_k^{\ast}$ is a classical,…

Let ${\mathcal{P}_{n}}$ denote the set of positive integers which are prime to $n$. Let $B_{n}$ be the $n$-th Bernoulli number. For any prime $p \ge 11$ and integer $r\ge 2$, we prove that $$ \sum\limits_{\begin{smallmatrix}…

In this paper, we investigate Fourier expansions of meromorphic modular forms. Over the years, a number of special cases of meromorphic modular forms were shown to have Fourier expansions closely resembling the expansion of the reciprocal…

The $n$th Ramanujan prime is the smallest positive integer $R_n$ such that if $x \ge R_n$, then there are at least $n$ primes in the interval $(x/2,x]$. For example, Bertrand's postulate is $R_1 = 2$. Ramanujan proved that $R_n$ exists and…

In 1997, van Hamme developed $p-$adic analogs, for primes $p$, of several series which relate hypergeometric series to values of the gamma function, originally studied by Ramanujan. These analogs relate truncated sums of hypergeometric…

We prove that the symmetric-cube coefficients $A_n=(-27)^n[z^n]\,_2F_1(1/3,1/3;1;z)^3$ satisfy the supercongruence $A(mp)\equiv A(m) \bmod p^4$ for every prime $p\geq 5$ and every $m\geq 1$. The proof rests on three ingredients: (i) the…

Let $p\geq 5$ be prime. For elliptic modular forms of weight 2 and level $\Gamma_0(N)$ where $N>6$ is squarefree, we bound the depth of Eisenstein congruences modulo $p$ (from below) by a generalized Bernoulli number with correction factors…

In 1947, Lehmer conjectured that the Ramanujan $\tau$-function $\tau (m)$ never vanishes for all positive integers $m$, where the $\tau (m)$ are the Fourier coefficients of the cusp form $\Delta_{24}$ of weight 12. Lehmer verified the…
