We prove a kind of bilateral semi-terminating series related to Ramanujan-like series for negative powers of $\pi$, and conjecture a type of supercongruences associated to them. We support this conjecture by checking all the cases for many…
In 2015 Choi, Kim, and Lovejoy studied a weighted partition function, $A_1(m)$, which counted subpartitions with a structure related to the Rogers--Ramanujan identities. They conjectured the existence of an infinite class of congruences for…
We introduce the class of supra-SIM sets of natural numbers. We prove that this class is partition regular and closed under finite-embeddability. We also prove some results on sumsets and SIM sets motivated by their positive Banach density…
A new construction is given of non-standard uniserial modules over certain valuation domains; the construction resembles that of a special Aronszajn tree in set theory. A consequence is the proof of a sufficient condition for the existence…
We undertake a study of extensions of unirational algebraic groups. We prove that extensions of unirational groups are also unirational over fields of degree of imperfection $1$, but that this fails over every field of higher degree of…
This paper is originally designed as a part of revision of the author's preprint math.AG/9908174 "P-adic Schwarzian triangle groups of Mumford type". Recently, Yves Andr'e pointed out a flaw in that preprint; more precisely, Proposition II…
In this paper, we analyze and compare three of the many algebraic structures that have been used for modeling dependent type theories: categories with families, split type-categories, and representable maps of presheaves. We study these in…
Exceptional field theory (EFT) gives a geometric underpinning of the U-duality symmetries of M-theory. In this talk I give an overview of the surprisingly rich algebraic structures which naturally appear in the context of EFT. This includes…
Expander graphs have been intensively studied in the last four decades. In recent years a high dimensional theory of expanders has emerged, and several variants have been studied. Among them stand out coboundary expansion and topological…
In some recent papers, the authors considered regular continued fractions of the form \[ [a_{0};\underbrace{a,...,a}_{m}, \underbrace{a^{2},...,a^{2}}_{m}, \underbrace{a^{3},...,a^{3}}_{m}, ... ], \] where $a_{0} \geq 0$, $a \geq 2$ and $m…
We introduce and study families of finite index subgroups of the modular group that generalize the congruence subgroups. Such groups, termed $\phi$-congruence subgroups, are obtained by reducing homomorphisms $\phi$ from the modular group…
We continue the theory of $\tT$-systems from the work of the second author, describing both ground systems and module systems over a ground system (paralleling the theory of modules over an algebra). The theory, summarized categorically at…
The dilute A$_3$ lattice model in regime 2 is in the universality class of the Ising model in a magnetic field. Here we establish directly the existence of an E$_8$ structure in the dilute A$_3$ model in this regime by expressing the…
We present an infinite family of identities that represent Ramanujan's tau function in terms of convolution sums of twisted divisor functions. Our method involves explicitly constructing non-vanishing level $1$ cusp forms from modular forms…
We construct an infinite family of (q+1)-regular Ramanujan graphs X_n of girth 1. We also give covering maps X_{n+1} --> X_n such that the minimal common covering of all the graphs is the universal covering tree.
We extend a holomorphic projection argument of our earlier work to prove a novel divisibility result for non-holomorphic congruences of Hurwitz class numbers. This result allows us to establish Ramanujan-type congruences for Hurwitz class…
We describe a straightforward construction of the pseudo-split absolutely pseudo-simple groups of minimal type with irreducible root systems of type $BC_n$; these exist only in characteristic $2$. We also give a formula for the dimensions…
We investigate finite field extensions of the unital 3-field, consisting of the unit element alone, and find considerable differences to classical field theory. Furthermore, the structure of their automorphism groups is clarified and the…
We propose new structures called almost o-minimal structures and $\mathfrak X$-structures. The former is a first-order expansion of a dense linear order without endpoints such that the intersection of a definable set with a bounded open…
We describe a higher dimensional generalization of Ramanujan's differential equations satisfied by the Eisenstein series $E_2$, $E_4$, and $E_6$. This will be obtained geometrically as follows. For every integer $g\ge 1$, we construct a…
