Let E_lambda be a Hilbert space, whose elements are functions spanned by the eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator associated with an eigenvalue lambda>0. The norm of elements in this space is given by the Petersson inner product.…

We specialize the Eichler-Selberg trace formula to obtain trace formulas for the prime-to-level Hecke action on cusp forms for certain congruence groups of arbitrary level. As a consequence, we determine the asymptotic in the prime p of the…

In this work, the authors provide closed forms and recurrence expressions for computing the $k$th power of the formal power series, some of them in terms of a determinant of some matrices. As a consequence, we obtain the reciprocal of the…

Let spt(n) denote the total number of appearances of smallest parts in the partitions of n. Recently, Andrews showed how spt(n) is related to the second rank moment, and proved some surprising Ramanujan-type congruences mod 5, 7 and 13. We…

We establish two families of congruences modulo powers of 5 for the Fourier coefficients of $(2E_2(2\tau)-E_2(\tau))\eta(2\tau)^{-1}$, where $E_2(\tau)$ is the weight 2 Eisenstein series and $\eta(\tau)$ is the Dedekind eta function. This…

A Dirichlet $k$-partition of a domain $U \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ is a collection of $k$ pairwise disjoint open subsets such that the sum of their first Laplace-Dirichlet eigenvalues is minimal. A discrete version of Dirichlet partitions has…

Let $f_1,...,f_d$ be an orthogonal basis for the space of cusp forms of even weight $2k$ on $\Gamma_0(N)$. Let $L(f_i,s)$ and $L(f_i,\chi,s)$ denote the $L$-function of $f_i$ and its twist by a Dirichlet character $\chi$, respectively. In…

This paper presents the methods to utilizing the $s$-fold extension of Bailey's lemma to obtain $spt$-type functions related to the symmetrized rank function $\eta_{2k}(n).$ We provide the $k=2$ example, but clearly illustrate how deep…

Jacobsthal's function h(k) represents the smallest number m such that every sequence of m consecutive integers contains an integer coprime to P_k, the product of the first k primes. The best known bound on h(k) is h(k) < C (k ln k)^2 for…

We prove that a Dirichlet series with a functional equation and Euler product of a particular form can only arise from a holomorphic cusp form on the Hecke congruence group $\Gamma_0(13)$. The proof does not assume a functional equation for…

We provide decompositions of Dirichlet forms into recurrent and transient parts as well as into conservative and dissipative parts, in the framework of Hausdorff state spaces. Combining both formulae we write every Dirichlet form as the sum…

In this paper, we establish an asymptotic formula with an effective bound on the error term for the Andrews smallest parts function $\mathrm{spt}(n)$. We use this formula to prove recent conjectures of Chen concerning inequalities which…

Let K be a number field containing the n-th roots of unity for some n > 2. We prove a uniform subconvexity result for a family of double Dirichlet series built out of central values of Hecke L-functions of n-th order characters of K. The…

We prove multiplicative congruences mod $2^{12}$ for George Andrews's partition function, $\overline{\mathcal{EO}}(n)$, the number of partitions of $n$ in which every even part is less than each odd part and only the largest even part…

The coefficients of the generating function $(q;q)^\alpha_\infty$ produce $p_\alpha(n)$ for $\alpha \in \mathbb{Q}$. In particular, when $\alpha = -1$, the partition function is obtained. Recently, Chan and Wang identified and proved…

Let $p(n)$ denote the partition function. In this article, we will show that congruences of the form $$ p(m^j\ell^kn+B)\equiv 0\mod m \text{for all} n\ge 0 $$ exist for all primes $m$ and $\ell$ satisfying $m\ge 13$ and $\ell\neq 2,3,m$.…

Let $H_k = 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + \cdots + 1/k$ denote the $k$th harmonic number. We present an easy-to-implement algorithm for the computation of explicit closed-form evaluations, in terms of the digamma and polygamma functions, for Euler sums of…

We show that the discretized configuration space of $k$ points in the $n$-simplex is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of spheres of dimension $n-k+1$. This space is homeomorphic to the order complex of the poset of ordered partial partitions…
