Consider the following Kolmogorov type hypoelliptic operator $$ \mathscr L_t:=\mbox{$\sum_{j=2}^n$}x_j\cdot\nabla_{x_{j-1}}+{\rm Tr} (a_t \cdot\nabla^2_{x_n}), $$ where $n\geq 2$, $x=(x_1,\cdots,x_n)\in(\mathbb R^d)^n =\mathbb R^{nd}$ and…

In this paper, motivated by the work of Chapman, Vsemirnov and Sun et al., we investigate some arithmetic properties of the generalized Legendre matrices over finite fields. For example, letting $a_1,\cdots,a_{(q-1)/2}$ be all non-zero…

Let $\{\cdot\}$ denote the fractional part and $n \geq 1$ be a fixed integer. In this short note, we show for any prime $p$ the one-to-one correspondence $$\sum_{\nu \geq 1} \left\{\frac{n}{p^\nu}\right\} > 1 \quad \iff \quad p \mid…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $a,b\in\mathbb Z$ with $p\nmid ab$. In this paper we mainly evaluate $$T_p^{(\delta)}(a,b,x):=\det\left[x+\tan\pi\frac{aj^2+bk^2}p\right]_{\delta\le j,k\le (p-1)/2}\ \ (\delta=0,1).$$ For example, in the case…

Mersenne numbers and Fermat numbers are two hot and difficult issues in number theory. This paper constructs a special group for every positive odd number other than 1, and discovers an algorithm for determining the multiplicative order of…

For any natural number $\ell $ and any prime $p\equiv 1 \pmod{4}$ not dividing $\ell $ there is a Hermitian modular form of arbitrary genus $n$ over $L:=\Q [\sqrt{-\ell}]$ that is congruent to 1 modulo $p$ which is a Hermitian theta series…

We present efficient algorithms for counting points on a smooth plane quartic curve $X$ modulo a prime $p$. We address both the case where $X$ is defined over $\mathbb F_p$ and the case where $X$ is defined over $\mathbb Q$ and $p$ is a…

Let $p$ be a prime $\equiv 3$ mod 4, $p>3$, and suppose that 10 has the order $(p-1)/2$ mod p. Then $1/p$ has a decimal period of length $(p-1)/2$. We express the frequency of each digit $0,\ldots,9$ in this period in terms of the class…

For certain primes $p$, the average digit in the expansion of $1/p$ was found to have a deviation from random behaviour related to the class number of the imaginary quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p})$ (Girstmair 1994). In this short…

Irreducible crystalline representations of dimension 2 of Gal(Qpbar/Qp) depend up to twist on two parameters, the weight k and the trace of frobenius a_p. We show that the reduction modulo p of such a representation is a locally constant…

Kemnitz Conjecture [9] states that if we take a sequence of elements in $Z_{p}^{2}$ of length $4p-3$, $p$ is a prime number, then it has a subsequence of length $p$, whose sum is $0$ modulo $p$. It is known that in $Z_{p}^{3}$ to get a…

Let $f(x)=x^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\dots+a_0$ be an irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients. For a prime $p$ for which $f(x)$ is fully splitting modulo $ p$, we consider $n$ roots $r_i$ of $f(x)\equiv 0\bmod p$ with $0 \le r_1\le\dots\le…

Fix any two numbers $p$ and $q$, with $1<p<q$; we give an example of an integral functional enjoying uniform ellipticity and $p$-$q$ growth.

The Franel numbers given by $f_n=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom{n}{k}^3$ ($n=0,1,2,\ldots$) play important roles in both combinatorics and number theory. In this paper we initiate the systematic investigation of fundamental congruences for the Franel…

Two conjectures are presented. The first, Conjecture 1, is that the pushforward of a geometric distribution on the integers under $n$ Collatz iterates, modulo $2^p$, is usefully close to uniform distribution on the integers modulo $2^p$, if…

We use $p$-component fermions $(p=2,3,...)$ to present $(2p-2)N$-fold integrals as a fermionic expectation value. This yields fermionic representation for various $(2p-2)$-matrix models. Links with the $p$-component KP hierarchy and also…

A suggestion is put forward regarding a partial proof of FLT(case1), which is elegant and simple enough to have caused Fermat's enthusiastic remark in the margin of his Bachet edition of Diophantus' "Arithmetica". It is based on an…

Assume that $m,s\in\mathbb N$, $m>1$, while $f$ is a polynomial with integer coefficients, $\text{deg}~f>1$, $f^{(i)}$ is the $i$th iteration of the polynomial $f$, $\kappa_n$ has a discrete uniform distribution on the set $\{0,1,\ldots,m^n…

The classic example of a low-discrepancy sequence in $\mathbb{Z}_p$ is $(x_n) = an+b$ with $a \in \mathbb{Z}_p^x$ and $b \in \mathbb{Z}_p$. Here we address the non-linear case and show that a polynomial $f$ generates a low-discrepancy…

We show that an elliptic modular form with integral Fourier coefficients in a number field $K$, for which all but finitely many coefficients are divisible by a prime ideal $\frak{p}$ of $K$, is a constant modulo $\frak{p}$. A similar…
