We investigate spt-crank-type functions arising from Bailey pairs. We recall four spt-type functions corresponding to the Bailey pairs $A1$, $A3$, $A5$, and $A7$ of Slater and given four new spt-type functions corresponding to Bailey pairs…

Associated to a newform $f(z)$ is a Dirichlet series $L_f(s)$ with functional equation and Euler product. Hecke showed that if the Dirichlet series $F(s)$ has a functional equation of a particular form, then $F(s)=L_f(s)$ for some…

In 2017, Andrews, Dixit, Schultz and Yee introduced the function $\overline{\textrm{spt}}_\omega(n)$, which denotes the number of smallest parts in the overpartitions of $n$ in which the smallest part is always overlined and all odd parts…

We consider heuristic predictions for small non-zero algebraic central values of twists of the $L$-function of an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ by Dirichlet characters. We provide computational evidence for these predictions and…

In correspondence with Goldbach, Euler began investigating series of the form $\sum_{k \geq 1} k^{-m}\left(1 + 2^{-n} + \cdots + k^{-n}\right)$, which are known today as Euler sums. For the case where $n=1$ and $m \geq 2$, Euler was able to…

We prove an upper bound for the twelfth moment of Hecke $L$-functions associated to holomorphic Hecke cusp forms of weight $k$ in a dyadic interval $T \leq k \leq 2T$ as $T$ tends to infinity. This bound recovers the Weyl-strength subconvex…

Let $F $ be a totally real number field and $r=[F :\mathbb{Q}].$ Let $A_k(\mathfrak{N},\omega) $ be the space of holomorphic Hilbert cusp forms with respect to $K_1(\mathfrak{N})$, weight $k=(k_1,\,...\,,k_r)$ with $k_j>2,$ for all $j$ and…

We study the action of the derived Hecke algebra on the space of weight one forms. By analogy with the topological case, we formulate a conjecture relating this to a certain Stark unit. We verify the truth of the conjecture numerically, for…

Given integers $m$, $n$ and $k$, we give an explicit formula with an optimal error term (with square root cancelation) for the Petersson trace formula involving the $m$-th and $n$-th Fourier coefficients of an orthonormal basis of…

We present here simple trace formulas for Hecke operators $T_k(p)$ for all $p>3$ on $S_k(\Gamma_0(3))$ and $S_k(\Gamma_0(9))$, the spaces of cusp forms of weight $k$ and levels 3 and 9. These formulas can be expressed in terms of special…

For any $s \in \mathbb{C}$ with $\Re(s)>0$, denote by $\eta_{n-1}(s)$ the $(n-1)^{th}$ partial sum of the Dirichlet series for the eta function $\eta(s)=1-2^{-s}+3^{-s}-\cdots \;$, and by $R_n(s)$ the corresponding remainder. Denoting by…

A generating function is given for the number, $E(l,k)$, of irreducible $k$-fold Euler sums, with all possible alternations of sign, and exponents summing to $l$. Its form is remarkably simple: $\sum_n E(k+2n,k) x^n = \sum_{d|k}\mu(d)…

We address a question posed by Ono, prove a general result for powers of an arbitrary prime, and provide an explanation for the appearance of higher congruence moduli for certain small primes. One of our results coincides with a recent…

In this paper we outline the Hecke theory for Hermitian modular forms in the sense of Hel Braun for arbitrary class number of the attached imaginary-quadratic number field. The Hecke algebra turns out to be commutative. Its inert part has a…

We study traces of Hecke operators on spaces of elliptic cusp forms and Drinfeld cusp forms and show that, modulo any prime power, these traces are periodic in the weight.

Let G be a reductive algebraic group over Q, and suppose that Gamma is an arithmetic subgroup of G(R) defined by congruence conditions. A basic problem in arithmetic is to determine the multiplicities of discrete series representations in…

In a previous paper, we obtained a general trace formula for double coset operators acting on modular forms for congruence subgroups, expressed as a sum over conjugacy classes. Here we specialize it to the congruence subgroups $\Gamma_0(N)$…

We revisit Euler's partition function recurrence, which asserts, for integers $n\geq 1,$ that $$ p(n)=p(n-1)+p(n-2)-p(n-5)-p(n-7)+\dots = \sum_{k\in \mathbb{Z}\setminus \{0\}} (-1)^{k+1} p(n-\omega(k)), $$ where $\omega(m):=(3m^2+m)/2$ is…

A recurrent formula is presented, for the enumeration of the compositions of positive integers as sums over multisets of positive integers, that closely resembles Euler's recurrence based on the pentagonal numbers, but where the…

In the study of Dirichlet series with arithmetic significance there has appeared (through the study of known examples) certain expectations, namely (i) if a functional equation and Euler product exists, then it is likely that a type of…
