Let the numbers $\alpha_n,\beta_n$ and $\gamma_n$ denote \begin{align*} \alpha_n=\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}{2k\choose k},\quad \beta_n=\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}{2k\choose k}\frac{1}{k+1}\quad\text{and}\quad \gamma_n=\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}{2k\choose…

We give a strong direct sum theorem for computing $xor \circ g$. Specifically, we show that for every function g and every $k\geq 2$, the randomized query complexity of computing the xor of k instances of g satisfies…

A Fenchel-Moreau type duality for proper convex and lower semi-continuous functions $f\colon X\to \overline{L^0}$ is established where $(X,Y,\langle \cdot,\cdot \rangle)$ is a dual pair of Banach spaces and $\overline{L^0}$ is the set of…

For $q=p^m$, where $p$ is an odd prime number, we study the correlation coefficient $c(\pi;H,K)$ of an irreducible (complex) representation $\pi$ of $G={\rm GL}_2(\mathbb F_q)$ with respect to a split torus $H$ and a non-split torus $K$. We…

For absolutely convergent series we state explicitly a one-sided summation estimate that can be viewed as the discrete analogue of the change of variable formula on the half line. This estimate is implicit in Pascal Lef\`evre's recent…

We discover new analytic properties of classical partial and false theta functions and their potential applications to representation theory of W-algebras and vertex algebras in general. More precisely, motivated by clues from conformal…

We study the triple convolution sum of the generalised divisor functions $$\sum_{n\leq x} d_k(n+h)d_l(n)d_m(n-h),$$ where $h \le x^{1-\epsilon}$ for any $\epsilon>0$ and $d_k(n)$ denotes the generalised divisor function which counts the…

Partial zeta functions of algebraic varieties over finite fields generalize the classical zeta function by allowing each variable to be defined over a possibly different extension field of a fixed finite field. Due to this extra variation…

In Sarnak's paper, it was proved that the Selberg zeta function for SL(2,Z) is expressed in terms of the fundamental units and the class numbers of the primitive indefinite binary quadratic forms. The aim of this paper is to obtain similar…

By developing a connection between partial theta functions and Appell-Lerch sums, we find and prove a formula which expresses Hecke-type double sums in terms of Appell-Lerch sums and theta functions. Not only does our formula prove…

Motivated by our previous work on hypergeometric functions and the parbelos constant, we perform a deeper investigation on the interplay among generalized complete elliptic integrals, Fourier-Legendre (FL) series expansions, and ${}_p F_q$…

We use the Langlands--Shahidi method in order to define the Shahidi gamma factor for a pair of irreducible generic representations of $\operatorname{GL}_n\left(\mathbb{F}_q\right)$ and $\operatorname{GL}_m\left(\mathbb{F}_q\right)$. We…

In a recent work, Gun and co-workers have proposed that $\,\sum_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}{(n+\alpha)^{-k}}\,$ is a transcendental number for all integer $\,k$, $k > 1$, and $\,\alpha \in \mathbb{Q} \backslash \mathbb{Z}$. Here in this work, this…

Transcendental Liouvillian extensions are differential fields, in which one can model poly-logarithmic, hyperexponential, and trigonometric functions, logarithmic integrals, and their (nested) rational expressions. For such an extension…

Zagier observed that modular Nahm sums associated with the same matrix may form a vector-valued modular function on some congruence subgroup. We establish modular transformation formulas for several families of Nahm sums by viewing them as…

We describe Gauss-type maps as geometric realizations of certain codes in the monoid of nonnegative matrices in the extended modular group. Each such code, together with an appropriate choice of unimodular intervals in P^1R, determines a…

For any positive integer $n$ and variables $a$ and $x$ we define the generalized Legendre polynomial $P_n(a,x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\b ak\b{-1-a}k(\frac{1-x}2)^k$. Let $p$ be an odd prime. In the paper we prove many congruences modulo $p^2$ related…

We prove a summation formula for a bilateral series whose terms are products of two basic hypergeometric functions. In special cases, series of this type arise as matrix elements of quantum group representations.

This article deals with three types of mutually inverse series relating Ferrers and associated Legendre functions of arbitrary complex indexes and orders established on the base of integral representations by using a number of generating…
