There are many results for explicit expressions about $q$-multiple zeta values or $q$-harmonic sums on $A-\cdots-A$ indices, that is, the indices are the same. Though the way to treat $q$-multiple zeta values unless the indices are the…

We consider a binary quadratic variant of the Titchmarsh divisor problem and give an asymptotic formula for $\sum_{p^2+q^2\leq N} \tau(p^2+q^2+1)$, where $p,q$ are primes.

In 1920, MacMahon introduced two families of $q$-series to study divisor sums. Recent work has shown that MacMahon's $q$-series are closely connected to overpartitions and $3$-colored partitions. Merca introduced truncated forms of…

(Below, \Box means "perfect square") Let $P$ and $Q$ be non-zero integers. The Lucas sequence $\{U_n(P,Q)\}$ is defined by $U_0=0$, $U_1=1$, $U_n=P U_{n-1}-Q U_{n-2}$, $(n \geq 2)$. Historically, there has been much interest in when the…

We prove non-trivial bounds for bilinear forms with hyper-Kloosterman sums with characters modulo a prime $q$ which, for both variables of length $M$, are non-trivial as soon as $M\geq q^{3/8+\delta}$ for any $\delta>0$. This range, which…

Let $\mathbf{J} \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be the set of couples $(x,q)$ with $q>1$ such that $x$ has at least one representation of the form $x=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} c_i q^{-i}$ with integer coefficients $c_i$ satisfying $0 \leq c_i < q$, $i \ge…

Let $\mathbb{A}=\mathbb{F}_{q}[T]$ be the polynomial ring over finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$, and $\mathbb{A}_{+}$ be the set of monic polynomials in $\mathbb{A}$. In this paper, we show that a large class of arithmetic functions in…

Let $D_n(1,x)$ be the $n$th reversed Dickson polynomial. The power sums $\sum_{a\in\Bbb F_q}D_n(1,a)^i$, $i=1,2$, have been determined recently. In this paper we give an evaluation of the sum $\sum_{a\in\Bbb F_q}D_n(1,a)^3$. This result…

The main object of study in this paper is the completion Z[q]^N=\varprojlim_n Z[q]/((1-q)(1-q^2)...(1-q^n)) of the polynomial ring Z[q], which arises from the study of a new invariant of integral homology 3-spheres with values in Z[q]^N…

We introduce new analogues of the Ramanujan sums, denoted by $\widetilde{c}_q(n)$, associated with unitary divisors, and obtain results concerning the expansions of arithmetic functions of several variables with respect to the sums…

Let $s(a,b)$ denote the classical Dedekind sum and $S(a,b)=12s(a,b)$. Let $k/q$, $q\in \Bbb N$, $k\in \Bbb Z$, $(k,q)=1$, be the value of $S(a,b)$. In a previous paper we showed that there are pairs $(a_r,b_r)$, $r\in\Bbb N$, such that…

There are many instances known when the Fourier coefficients of modular forms are congruent to partial sums of hypergeometric series. In our previous work arXiv:1803.01830, such partial sums are related to the radial asymptotics of infinite…

We obtain an upper bound for the sum $\sum_{n\leq N} (a_{n}/\varphi (a_{n}))^{s}$, where $\varphi$ is Euler's totient function, $s\in \mathbb{N}$, and $a_{1},\ldots, a_{N}$ are positive integers (not necessarily distinct) with some…

In this note, we prove a general identity between a $q$-multisum $B_N(q)$ and a sum of $N^2$ products of quotients of theta functions. The $q$-multisum $B_N(q)$ recently arose in the computation of a probability involving modules over…

We study M(n,k,r), the number of orbits of {(a_1,...,a_k)\in Z_n^k | a_1+...+a_k = r (mod n)} under the action of S_k. Equivalently, M(n,k,r) sums the partition numbers of an arithmetic sequence: M(n,k,r) = sum_{t \geq 0} p(n-1,k,r+nt),…

In this paper, using the well-known Karlsson-Minton formula, we mainly establish two divisibility results concerning truncated hypergeometric series. Let $n>2$ and $q>0$ be integers with $2\mid n$ or $2\nmid q$. We show that…

We provide a uniform bound on the partial sums of multiplicative functions under very general hypotheses. As an application, we give a nearly optimal estimate for the count of $n \le x$ for which the Alladi-Erd\H{o}s function $A(n) =…

Let $E_n$ be the $n$-th Euler number and $(a)_n=a(a+1)\cdots (a+n-1)$ the rising factorial. Let $p>3$ be a prime. In 2012, Sun proved the that $$ \sum^{(p-1)/2}_{k=0}(-1)^k(4k+1)\frac{(\frac{1}{2})_k^3}{k!^3} \equiv…

We define for real $q$ a unital $*$-algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R}))$ quantizing the universal enveloping $*$-algebra of $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$. The $*$-algebra $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R}))$ is realized as a…

We study the finite dimensional modules on the half-quantum group u_q^+ at a root of unity q, whose action can be extended to u_q (quotient of the quantized enveloping algebra of sl_2). We derive decomposition formulas of the tensor product…
