A natural generalization of base B expansions is Zeckendorf's Theorem: every integer can be uniquely written as a sum of non-consecutive Fibonacci numbers $\{F_n\}$, with $F_{n+1} = F_n + F_{n-1}$ and $F_1=1, F_2=2$. If instead we allow the…

We show that the $\ell^p$-pseudofunctions, which were recently shown to lead to exotic completions of group $C^*$-algebras by Wiersma and the second named author, can be used to construct well-behaved crossed product functors in the sense…

We explore some interesting features of the characteristic polynomial of the Cartan matrix of a simple Lie algebra. The characteristic polynomial is closely related with the Chebyshev polynomials of first and second kind. In addition, we…

We introduce a family of modules for the quantum affine algebra which include as very special cases both the snake modules and the modules arising from a monoidal categorification of cluster algebras. We give necessary and sufficient…

We give optimal bounds for matrix Kloosterman sums modulo prime powers extending earlier work of the first two authors on the case of prime moduli. These exponential sums arise in the theory of the horocyclic flow on $\mathrm{GL}_n$.

Let $\pi$ be a Hecke--Maass cusp form for $\rm SL_3(\mathbb{Z})$ with normalized Hecke eigenvalues $\lambda_{\pi}(n,r)$. Let $f$ be a holomorphic or Maass cusp form for $\rm SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ with normalized Hecke eigenvalues…

The goal of this paper is to define the Grassmann integral in terms of a limit of a sum around a well-defined contour so that Grassmann numbers gain geometric meaning rather than symbols. The unusual rescaling properties of the integration…

Recent work on exotic smooth R^4's, i.e. topological R^4 with exotic differential structure, shows the connection of 4-exotics with the codimension-1 foliations of $S^{3}$, SU(2) WZW models and twisted K-theory $K_{H}(S^{3})$, $H\in…

We develop a version of the Kloosterman circle method with a bump function that is used to provide asymptotics for weighted representation numbers of nonsingular integral quadratic forms. Unlike many applications of the Kloosterman circle…

We introduce a natural definition for sums of the form \[ \sum_{\nu=1}^x f(\nu) \] when the number of terms x is a rather arbitrary real or even complex number. The resulting theory includes the known interpolation of the factorial by the…

Traces of singular moduli can be approximated by exponential sums of quadratic irrationals. Recently Andersen and Duke used theory of Maass forms to estimate generalized twisted traces with power-saving error bounds. We establish an…

We give a counting formula in terms of modified Hall-Littlewood polynomials and the chromatic quasisymmetric function for the number of points on an arbitrary Hessenberg variety over a finite field. As a consequence, we express the…

We introduce affine Stanley symmetric functions for the special orthogonal groups, a class of symmetric functions that model the cohomology of the affine Grassmannian, continuing the work of Lam and Lam, Schilling, and Shimozono on the…

For large enough (but fixed) prime powers $q$, and trace functions to squarefree moduli in $\mathbb{F}_q[u]$ with slopes at most $1$ at infinity, and no Artin--Schreier factors in their geometric global monodromy, we come close to…

We show that automatic sequences are asymptotically orthogonal to periodic exponentials of type $e_q(f(n))$, where $f$ is a rational fraction, in the P\'olya-Vinogradov range. This applies to Kloosterman sums, and may be used to study…

We give nontrivial bounds for the bilinear sums $$ \sum_{u = 1}^{U} \sum_{v=1}^V \alpha_u \beta_v \mathbf{\,e}_p(u/f(v)) $$ where $\mathbf{\,e}_p(z)$ is a nontrivial additive character of the prime finite field ${\mathbb F}_p$ of $p$…

We present a lower bound for the classical Kloosterman sum $S(a,b;c)$ where $(ab,c)=1$ and $c$ is an odd integer. We apply this lower bound for Kloosterman sums to derive an explicit lower bound in Petersson's trace formula, subject to a…

Let f be a polinomial with coefficients in a finite field F. Let $\Psi : F \to C^{\ast}$ be a non-trivial additive character. In this paper we give bounds for the exponential sums $\sum_{x\in F^n} \Psi (Tr_{F/F_p} (f(x)))$ in some cases…

Consider a $q$-Weil polynomial $f$ of degree $2g$. Using an equidistribution assumption that is too strong to be true, we define and compute a product of local relative densities of matrices in $\rm{GSp}_{2g}(\mathbb{F}_\ell)$ with…

Maps are polygonal cellular networks on Riemann surfaces. This paper analyzes the construction of closed form general representations for the enumerative generating functions associated to maps of fixed but arbitrary genus. The method of…
