Motivated by earlier work of P.~A.~MacMahon and recent contributions of T.~Amdeberhan, G.~E.~Andrews, K.~Ono, A.~Singh, and R.~Tauraso on higher-order partition enumerants, we study a class of $q$-series arising from nested divisor…

Recursive analysis was introduced by A. Turing [1936], A. Grzegorczyk [1955], and D. Lacombe [1955]. It is based on a discrete mechanical framework that can be used to model computation over the real numbers. In this context the…

In the last 20 years the Gelfond conjectures concerning the well distribution of the sum-of-digits function along prime numbers and along squares have been solved and these results, which are strongly connected with the Sarnak conjecture,…

In this paper, we present some criteria for the $2$-$q$-log-convexity and $3$-$q$-log-convexity of combinatorial sequences, which can be regarded as the first column of certain infinite triangular array $[A_{n,k}(q)]_{n,k\geq0}$ of…

We prove a refined version of Markov's theorem in Diophantine approximation. More precisely, we characterize completely the set of irrationals $x$ such that $\left|x-\frac{p}{q}\right|<\frac{1}{3q^2}$ has only finitely many rational…

Let $n,p,k$ be three positive integers. We prove that the rational fractions of $q$: $${n \brack k}_{q} {}_3\phi_{2} [ . {matrix}q^{1-k},q^{-p},q^{p-n} q,q^{1-n} {matrix}| q;q^{k+1}]\quad\textrm{and}\quad q^{(n-p)p}\qbi{n}{k}{q} {}_3\phi_2[…

Let $\mathcal{M}\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a compact and sufficiently smooth manifold of dimension $d$. Suppose $\mathcal{M}$ is nowhere completely flat. Let $N_{\mathcal{M}}(\delta,Q)$ denote the number of rational vectors $\mathbf{a}/q$…

In the 1920's, Ritt studied the operation of functional composition g o h(x) = g(h(x)) on complex rational functions. In the case of polynomials, he described all the ways in which a polynomial can have multiple `prime factorizations' with…

In this paper, we study properties of the Diophantine exponents $w_n$ and $w_n^{*}$ for Laurent series over a finite field. We prove that for an integer $n\geq 1$ and a rational number $w>2n-1$, there exist a strictly increasing sequence of…

Quantum real numbers are proposed by performing a quantum deformation of the standard real numbers $\R$. We start with the q-deformed Heisenberg algebra $\cLLq$ which is obtained by the Moyal $\ast$-deformation of the Heisenberg algebra…

We study the $1$-level density of low-lying zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions in the family of all characters modulo $q$, with $Q/2 < q\leq Q$. For test functions whose Fourier transform is supported in $(-3/2, 3/2)$, we calculate this…

The theory of Gromov-Hausdorff convergence is applied to sequences of quotient rings of integers. It is shown the existence of limit rings (fields) as the Gromov-Hausdorff limits of sequences of metric quotient rings. The relation of these…

We establish an equidistribution result for push-forwards of certain locally finite algebraic measures in the adelic extension of the space of lattices in the plane. As an application of our analysis we obtain new results regarding the…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a random set constructed by picking independently each element of $\{1, \dots, n\}$ with probability $\alpha \in (0, 1)$. We give a formula for the probability that a rational number $q$ belong to the random ratio set…

We consider the amusing sequence of functions $f_n: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ given by $$ f_n(x) = \sum_{k=1}^{n}{\frac{|\sin{(k \pi x)}|}{k}}.$$ Every rational point is eventually the location of a strict local minimum of $f_n$:…

n this paper, we present $q$-Bernoulli and $q$-Euler polynomials generated by the third Jackson $q$-Bessel function to construct new types of $q$-Lidstone expansion theorem. We prove that the entire function may be expanded in terms of…

The Jarn\'ik-Besicovitch theorem is a fundamental result in metric number theory which concerns the Hausdorff dimension for certain limsup sets. We discuss the analogous problem for liminf sets. Consider an infinite sequence of positive…

Using Schur positivity and the principal specialization of Schur functions, we provide a proof of a recent conjecture of Liu and Wang on the $q$-log-convexity of the Narayana polynomials, and a proof of the second conjecture that the…

Let X be an algebraic curve over Q and t a non-constant Q-rational function on X such that Q(t) is a proper subfield of Q(X). For every integer n pick a point P_n on X such that t(P_n)=n. We conjecture that, for large N, among the number…

Given a finite set of real numbers $A$, the generalised golden ratio is the unique real number $\mathcal{G}(A) > 1$ for which we only have trivial unique expansions in smaller bases, and have non-trivial unique expansions in larger bases.…
