Probabilistic circuits (PCs) enable exact and tractable inference but employ data independent mixture weights that limit their ability to capture local geometry of the data manifold. We propose Voronoi tessellations (VT) as a natural way to…

This paper introduces a variation on an identity by Bruckman and Good. Using this identity, we are able to derive various well-known sums involving reciprocals of Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, including the case when the indices form an…

We prove a double-sum analog of an identity known to Kronecker and then express it in terms of functions studied by Appell and Kronecker's student Lerch, in so doing we show that the double-sum analog is of mixed mock modular form. We also…

We consider the problem of uniform interpolation of functions with values in a complex inner product space of finite dimension. This problem can be casted within a modified weighted pluripotential theoretic framework. Indeed, in the…

The Menon-Sury's identity is as follows: \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{1 \leq a, b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_r \leq n\\\mathrm{gcd}(a,n)=1}} \mathrm{gcd}(a-1,b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_r,n)=\varphi(n) \sigma_r(n), \end{equation*} where $\varphi$ is…

In this paper we obtain a new fully explicit constant for the P\'olya-Vinogradov inequality for primitive characters. Given a primitive character $\chi$ modulo $q$, we prove the following upper bound \begin{align*} \left| \sum_{1 \le n\le…

Consider the moduli space of framed flat $U(2)$ connections with fixed odd determinant over a surface. Newstead combined some fundamental facts about this moduli space with the Mayer-Vietoris sequence to compute its betti numbers over any…

We show that a cubic fourfold F that is apolar to a Veronese surface has the property that its variety of power sums VSP(F,10) is singular along a K3 surface of genus 20. We prove that these cubics form a divisor in the moduli space of…

We focus on three pages in Ramanujan's lost notebook, pages 336, 335, and 332, in decreasing order of attention. On page 336, Ramanujan proposes two identities, but the formulas are wrong -- each is vitiated by divergent series. We…

We develop a systematic and fully explicit approach to the evaluation of binomial sums involving reciprocals of binomial coefficients based on Beta integral techniques. Starting from a simple integral representation, we provide a derivation…

We give a reciprocity formula for a two-variable sum where the variables satisfy a linear congruence condition. We also prove that such sum is a measure of how well a rational is approximable from below and show that the reciprocity formula…

In this paper we compute the characters of certain non-irreducible N=4 superconformal modules which are different from the ones treated in our previous paper, and study their relation with characters of N=2 superconformal modules. Also, for…

Let $r_{k}(n)$ denote the number of representations of the positive integer $n$ as the sum of $k$ squares. We prove a new summation formula involving $r_{k}(n)$ and the Bessel functions of the first kind, which constitutes an analogue of a…

An identity is proved connecting two finite sums of inverse tangents. This identity is discretized version of Jacobi's imaginary transformation for the modular angle from the theory of elliptic functions. Some other related identities are…

We prove several old and new theorems about finite sums involving characters and trigonometric functions. These sums can be traced back to theta function identities from Ramanujan's notebooks and were systematically first studied by Berndt…

In this sequel to arXiv:0905.3327, we continue to study the congruence properties of the alternating version of multiple harmonic sums. As contrast to the study of multiple harmonic sums where Bernoulli numbers and Bernoulli polynomials…

In this article, we establish a large sieve inequality for additive characters to moduli in the range of appropriate integer polynomials of degree two. As an application, we derive a weighted zero-density estimate for twists of…

This paper gives new explicit formulas for sums of powers of integers and their reciprocals.

We establish a character formula for indecomposable tilting modules for connected reductive groups in characteristic p in terms of p-Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials, for p>h the Coxeter number. Using results of Andersen, one may deduce a…

We obtain nontrivial bounds for character sums with multiplicative and additive characters over finite fields over elements with restricted coordinate expansion. In particular, we obtain a nontrivial estimate for such a sum over a finite…
