In this article we obtain a general polynomial identity in $k$ variables, where $k\geq 2$ is an arbitrary positive integer. We use this identity to give a closed-form expression for the entries of the powers of a $k \times k$ matrix.…

For integers $b$ and $c$ the generalized central trinomial coefficient $T_n(b,c)$ denotes the coefficient of $x^n$ in the expansion of $(x^2+bx+c)^n$. Those $T_n=T_n(1,1)\ (n=0,1,2,\ldots)$ are the usual central trinomial coefficients, and…

We consider the algebraic K-theory of a truncated polynomial algebra in several commuting variables, K(k[x_1, ..., x_n]/(x_1^a_1, ..., x_n^a_n)). This naturally leads to a new generalization of the big Witt vectors. If k is a perfect field…

In this paper, we establish the following two congruences: \begin{gather*} \sum_{k=0}^{(p+1)/2}(3k-1)\frac{\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)_k^2\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)_k4^k}{k!^3}\equiv…

Motivated by the splitting principle, we define certain simplicial complexes associated to an associative ring $A$, which have an action of the general linear group $GL(A)$. This leads to an exact sequence, involving Quillen's algebraic…

In this paper, we investigate the stabilizers of certain multisets $\mod p^k$ with respect to their natural multiplicative action, completely describing them for a certain family of polynomials whenever $p$ is an odd prime. This elucidates…

Let $K$ be an unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_2$ and $\mu_{2^n}$ the group of $2^n$-th root of unity for a fixed integer $n\geqslant 2$. In this paper, we give an explicit formula for the $\mu_{2^n}$-valued Hilbert symbol over $K_n :=…

It is known that, for any positive non-square integer multiplier $k$, there is an infinity of multiples of triangular numbers which are triangular numbers. We analyze the congruence properties of the indices $\xi$ of triangular numbers that…

Let $k \ge 2$ be a fixed integer. We define the multiplicative function $D_k(n) = d_k(n)/d_k^*(n)$, such that $d_k(n)$ is the Piltz divisor function and $d_k^*(n) = k^{\omega(n)}$ is its unitary analogue, where $\omega(n)$ is the number of…

Let $k$ be a commutative ring, $A$ a commutative $k$-algebra and $D$ the filtered ring of $k$-linear differential operators of $A$. We prove that: (1) The graded ring $\gr D$ admits a canonical embedding $\theta$ into the graded dual of the…

We show that certain weighted average of the alpha-determinant of a $kn$ by $kn$ matrix of the form $A\otimes1_{1,k}$, the Kronecker product of a $kn$ by $n$ matrix $A$ and $1$ by $k$ all one matrix $1_{1,k}$, over permutations of $kn$…

We introduce a variant of the $k$-nearest neighbor classifier in which $k$ is chosen adaptively for each query, rather than supplied as a parameter. The choice of $k$ depends on properties of each neighborhood, and therefore may…

Let the term $k$-representation refer to the permutation representations of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ on $k$-tuples and $k$-subsets as well as the $S^{(n-k,1^k)}$ irreducible representation of $\mathfrak{S}_n$. Endow…

Dedekind symbols generalize the classical Dedekind sums (symbols). The symbols are determined uniquely by their reciprocity laws up to an additive constant. There is a natural isomorphism between the space of Dedekind symbols with…

We prove the conjectures of Graham-Kumar and Griffeth-Ram concerning the alternation of signs in the structure constants for torus-equivariant K-theory of generalized flag varieties G/P. These results are immediate consequences of an…

Recently, Drema and Saikia (2023) proved several congruences modulo powers of 2 and 3 for overpartition triples with odd parts. We extend their list substantially. We prove several congruences modulo powers of 2 for overpartition k-tuples…

Given an integer $k$, define $C_k$ as the set of integers $n > \max(k,0)$ such that $a^{n-k+1} \equiv a \pmod{n}$ holds for all integers $a$. We establish various multiplicative properties of the elements in $C_k$ and give a sufficient…

Random integers, sampled uniformly from $[1,x]$, share similarities with random permutations, sampled uniformly from $S_n$. These similarities include the Erd\H{o}s--Kac theorem on the distribution of the number of prime factors of a random…

Let $\nu_y(n)$ denote the number of distinct prime factors of $n$ that are $<y$. For $k$ a positive integer, and for $k+2\leq y\leq x$, let $S_{-k}(x,y)$ denote the sum \begin{eqnarray*} S_{-k}(x,y):=\sum_{n\leq x}(-k)^{\nu_y(n)}.…
