It is well known that for any prime $p\equiv 3$ (mod $4$), the class numbers of the quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{p})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p})$, $h(p)$ and $h(-p)$ respectively, are odd. It is natural to ask whether there is a…

We first introduce a family of binary $pq^2$-periodic sequences based on the Euler quotients modulo $pq$, where $p$ and $q$ are two distinct odd primes and $p$ divides $q-1$. The minimal polynomials and linear complexities are determined…

For an odd prime number $p$, we study the number of generators of the unramified Iwasawa modules of the maximal multiple $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extensions over Iwasawa algebra. In a previous paper of the authors, under several assumptions for an…

In this article we prove a refinement of a theorem of Longo and Vigni in the anticyclotomic Iwasawa theory for modular forms. More precisely we give a definition for the ($\mathfrak{p}$-part of the) Shafarevich-Tate groups…

If every element of a matrix group is similar to a permutation matrix, then it is called a permutation-like matrix group. References [4], [5] and [6] showed that, if a permutation-like matrix group contains a maximal cycle such that the…

In this paper, we study some supercongruences involving the sequence $$ t_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom{n}{k}\binom{x}{k}\binom{x+k}{k}2^k $$ and solve some open problems. For any odd prime $p$ and $p$-adic integer $x$, we determine…

During the 2004-2005 academic year the VIGRE algebra research group at the University of Georgia computed the complexities of certain Specht modules S^\lambda for the symmetric group, using the computer algebra program Magma. The complexity…

Let $N, p \geq 5$ be primes such that $N \equiv 1 \bmod p$. We study the rank $r$ of the Hecke algebra that parametrizes modular forms of weight 2 and level $N$ that are Eisenstein modulo $p$. When $r$ is $2$ or $3$, we prove that $r-1$…

For each odd prime $p$, let $\zeta_p$ denote a primitive $p$-th root of unity. In this paper, we study the determinants of some matrices with cyclotomic unit entries. For instance, we show that when $p\equiv 3\pmod4$ and $p>3$ the…

It is known that all modular forms on $SL_2(Z)$ can be expressed as a rational function in $\eta(z)$, $\eta(2z)$ and $\eta(4z)$. By using a theorem by Gordon, Hughes, and Newman, and calculating the order of vanishing, we can compute the…

We give a complete theta expression of a pair of Hermitian modular forms as an inverse period mapping of lattice polarized $K3$ surfaces. Our result gives a non-trivial relation among moduli of $K3$ surfaces, theta functions and the finite…

We study the distribution of cycle lengths in models of nonuniform random permutations with cycle weights. We identify several regimes. Depending on the weights, the length of typical cycles grows like the total number $n$ of elements, or a…

This work brings techniques from the theory of recurrent integer sequences to the problem of balancedness of symmetric Boolean functions. In particular, the periodicity modulo $p$ ($p$ odd prime) of exponential sums of symmetric Boolean…

In this paper we describe a method for computing a basis for the space of weight $2$ cusp forms invariant under a non-split Cartan subgroup of prime level $p$. As an application we compute, for certain small values of $p$, explicit…

Let $p=2n+1$ be an odd prime, and let $\zeta_{p^2-1}$ be a primitive $(p^2-1)$-th root of unity in the algebraic closure $\overline{\mathbb{Q}_p}$ of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. We let $g\in\mathbb{Z}_p[\zeta_{p^2-1}]$ be a primitive root modulo…

In this paper, we set $\eta (G)$ to be the number of conjugacy classes of maximal cyclic subgroups of a finite group $G$. We compute $\eta (G)$ for all metacyclic $p$-groups. We show that if $G$ is a metacyclic $p$-group of order $p^n$ that…

We construct automorphic forms on the 5-dimensional complex ball which give the inverse of the period map for cyclic 4-ple coverings of the complex projective line branching at eight points with branching index (1/4,...,1/4).

Among topological modular forms with level structure, $TMF_0(7)$ at the prime $3$ is the first example that had not been understood yet. We provide a splitting of $TMF_0(7)$ at the prime 3 as $TMF$-module into two shifted copies of $TMF$…
