We determine the average state and the uncorrelated modes that characterize the event-by-event fluctuations of the initial state in two typical centrality classes of Pb-Pb collisions at 5.02 TeV. We find that modes in a narrow central bin…

The decomposition matrix of a finite group in prime characteristic p records the multiplicities of its p-modular irreducible representations as composition factors of the reductions modulo p of its irreducible representations in…

There is a product decomposition of a compact connected Lie group $G$ at the prime $p$, called the mod $p$ decomposition, when $G$ has no $p$-torsion in homology. Then in studying the multiplicative structure of the $p$-localization of $G$,…

Most integers are composite and most univariate polynomials over a finite field are reducible. The Prime Number Theorem and a classical result of Gau{\ss} count the remaining ones, approximately and exactly. For polynomials in two or more…

In this paper we establish some new congruences involving central binomial coefficients as well as Catalan numbers. Let $p$ be a prime and let $a$ be any positive integer. We determine $\sum_{k=0}^{p^a-1}\binom{2k}{k+d}$ mod $p^2$ for…

Dirichlet's theorem guarantees infinitely many primes in each reduced residue class modulo q, but the analytic mechanism underlying this separation is often difficult to visualize directly. In this article we construct simplified…

On a cyclic group of prime order, the non-trivial Dirichlet characters together with their Fourier transforms have constant modulus outside 0 and vanish at 0. Answering a question of H. Cohn, we construct new functions with these…

Percolation thresholds have recently been studied by means of a graph polynomial $P_B(p)$, henceforth referred to as the critical polynomial, that may be defined on any periodic lattice. The polynomial depends on a finite subgraph $B$,…

We study congruences of the form F(j(z)) | U(p) = G(j(z)) mod p, where U(p) is the p-th Hecke operator, j is the basic modular invariant 1/q+744+196884q+... for SL2(Z), and F,G are polynomials with integer coefficients. Using the interplay…

Given a discrete group $\G$ and an orthogonal action $\gamma: \G \to O(n)$ we study $L_p$ convergence of Fourier integrals which are frequency supported on the semidirect product $\R^n \rtimes_\gamma \G$. Given a unit $u \in \R^n$ and $1 <…

For the shifted convolution sum $$ D_h(X)=\sum_{m=1}^\infty\lambda_1(1,m)\lambda_2(m+h)V(\frac{m}{X}) $$ where $\lambda_1(1,m)$ are the Fourier coefficients of a $SL(3,\mathbb Z)$ Maass form $\pi_1$, and $\lambda_2(m)$ are those of a…

Let p be a prime and let a be a positive integer. In this paper we determine $\sum_{k=0}^{p^a-1}\binom{2k}{k+d}/m^k$ and $\sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\binom{2k}{k+d}/(km^{k-1})$ modulo $p$ for all d=0,...,p^a, where m is any integer not divisible by p.…

We study Calder\'on-type commutators $[M_b,T_i\mathcal R_j]$ in the rational Dunkl setting with a finite reflection group $G$. If $b$ belongs to the orbit Lipschitz class $\operatorname{Lip}_d$, then for every $1<p<\infty$ we prove…
