Motivated by questions of Fouvry and Rudnick on the distribution of Gaussian primes, we develop a very general setting in which one can study inequities in the distribution of analogues of primes through analytic properties of infinitely…
In a former paper it has been shown that the elliptic Gau{\ss} sums, whose use has been proposed in the context of counting points on elliptic curves and primality tests, can be computed by using modular functions. In this work we give…
This is a brief review of our recent work attempted at a generalization of the Grassmann algebra to the paragrassmann ones. The main aim is constructing an algebraic basis for representing `fractional' symmetries appearing in $2D$…
This article examines the nontrivial solutions of the congruence \[ (p-1)\cdots(p-r) \equiv -1 \pmod p. \] We discuss heuristics for the proportion of primes $p$ that have exactly $N$ solutions to this congruence. We supply numerical…
During his lifetime, Ramanujan provided many formulae relating binomial sums to special values of the Gamma function. Based on numerical computations, Van Hamme recently conjectured $p$-adic analogues to such formulae. Using a combination…
Given a prime number $p$, the study of divisibility properties of a sequence $c(n)$ has two contending approaches: $p$-adic valuations and superconcongruences. The former searches for the highest power of $p$ dividing $c(n)$, for each $n$;…
We show that there are infinitely many square numbers , which are constrocted by putting two square numbers together , that non of them are divisible by $10$ . We also investigate the interesting properties of some square numbers.
This exposition reviews what exactly Gauss asserted and what did he prove in the last chapter of {\sl Disquisitiones Arithmeticae} about dividing the circle into a given number of equal parts. In other words, what did Gauss claim and…
We study a natural extension to complex numbers of the standard continued fractions. The basic algorithm is due to Lagrange and Gauss, though it seems to have gone mostly unnoticed as a way to create continued fractions. The new…
We consider summation of some finite and infinite functional p-adic series with factorials. In particular, we are interested in the infinite series which are convergent for all primes p, and have the same integer value for an integer…
For the purposes of this paper supercongruences are congruences between terminating hypergeometric series and quotients of $p$-adic Gamma functions that are stronger than those one can expect to prove using commutative formal group laws. We…
The zeroes of Goss polynomials $G_{k, \Lambda}(X)$ for $\Lambda = A \defeq \mathbb{F}_{q}[T]$ and similar lattices $\Lambda$ are studied. Generically, the zero distribution follows a simple pattern governed by the $q$-adic expansion of…
We present an explicit evaluation of the double Gauss sum $\displaystyle G(a,b,c;S;p^n):=\sum_{x,y=0}^{p^n-1} e^{2\pi i S(ax^2+bxy+cy^2)/p^n}$, where $a, b, c$ are integers such that $\gcd(a,b,c)=1$, $p$ is a prime, $n$ is a positive…
We present bounds of quadratic form for the logarithm of the Gaussian Q-function. We also show an analytical method for deriving log-quadratic approximations of the Q-function and give an approximation with absolute error less than…
We tabulate the abscissae and associated weights for numerical integration of integrals with either the singular weight function (-log x)^m for exponents m=1, 2 or 3, or the symmetric weight function cos(pi*x/2). Standard brute force…
We describe various properties of continued fraction expansions of complex numbers in terms of Gaussian integers. Numerous distinct such expansions are possible for a complex number. They can be arrived at through various algorithms, as…
Let x be a quadratic irrational and let P be the set of prime numbers. We show the existence of an infinite subset S of P such that the statistics of the period of the continued fraction expansions along the sequence {px: p\in S} approach…
After a brief review of p-adic numbers, adeles and their functions, we consider real, p-adic and adelic superalgebras, superspaces and superanalyses. A concrete illustration is given by means of the Grassmann algebra generated by two…
Iterative methods with certified convergence for the computation of Gauss--Jacobi quadratures are described. The methods do not require a priori estimations of the nodes to guarantee its fourth-order convergence. They are shown to be…
We study lines on smooth cubic surfaces over the field of $p$-adic numbers, from a theoretical and computational point of view. Segre showed that the possible counts of such lines are $0,1,2,3,5,7,9,15$ or $27$. We show that each of these…
