We reinterpret N=(2,1) strings as describing the continuum limit of matrix theory with all spatial dimensions compactified. Thus they may characterize the full set of degrees of freedom needed to formulate the theory.
We prove that there is a small but fixed positive integer e such that for every prime larger than a fixed integer, every subset S of the integers modulo p which satisfies |2S|<(2+e)|S| and 2(|2S|)-2|S|+2 < p is contained in an arithmetic…
This paper presents the Quanta Prime Sequence (QPS) and its foundational theorem, showcasing a unique class of polynomials with substantial implications. The study uncovers profound connections between Quanta Prime numbers and essential…
In this paper we prove that for any prime $p\ge 11$ holds $$ {2p-1\choose p-1}\equiv 1 -2p \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\frac{1}{k} +4p^2\sum_{1\le i<j\le p-1}\frac{1}{ij}\pmod{p^7}. $$ This is a generalization of the famous Wolstenholme's theorem which…
In this review I discuss some basic aspects of non-perturbative string theory. The topics include test of duality symmetries based on the analysis of the low energy effective action and the spectrum of BPS states, relationship between…
We formulate matrix string models on a class of exact string backgrounds with non constant RR-flux parameterized by a holomorphic prepotential function and with manifest (2,2) supersymmetry. This lifts these string theories to M-theory…
For small odd primes $p$, we prove that most of the rational points on the modular curve $X_0(p)/w_p$ parametrize pairs of elliptic curves having infinitely many supersingular primes. This result extends the class of elliptic curves for…
Formulas of $\pi(x)$-fine structure are presented.
In this paper we obtain some sophisticated combinatorial congruences involving binomial coefficients and confirm two conjectures of the author and Davis. They are closely related to our investigation of the periodicity of the sequence…
The physical motivations and the basic construction rules for Type I strings and M-theory compactifications are reviewed in light of the recent developments. The first part contains the basic theoretical ingredients needed for building…
To determine whether a number is congruent or not is an old and difficult topic and progress is slow. The paper presents a new theorem when a prime number is a congruent number or not. The proof is not necessarily any simpler or shorter…
In this paper, we proposed an interesting problem that might be classified into enumerative combinatorics. Featuring a distinctive two-fold dependence upon the sequences' terms, our problem can be really difficult, which calls for novel…
This is an introduction to some recent developments in string theory and M theory. We try to concentrate on the main physical aspects, and often leave more technical details to the original literature.
We investigate pairwise quasi-orthogonal subalgebras in $M_{p^{kn}}$ which are isomorphic to $M_{p^{k}}$ for $k \ge 1$, $n \ge 2$ and a prime number $p$ with $p \ge 3$. We prove there exist $p^{2kn}-1/p^{2k}-1$ such subalgebras and they…
We use methods of combinatorial number theory to prove that, for each $n>1$ and any prime $p$, some homotopy group $\pi_i(SU(n))$ contains an element of order $p^{n-1+ord_p([n/p]!)}$, where $ord_p(m)$ denotes the largest integer $\alpha$…
The pentagonal number theorem is extended to the sequence of the number of integer partitions with all parts equal. The new pentagonal number theorem implies that the distribution of the primes is just a specific detail of the application…
Nonperturbative effects in string theory are usually associated to D-branes. In many cases it can be explicitly shown that D-brane instantons control the large-order behavior of string perturbation theory, leading to the well-known (2g)!…
The harmonic number $H_k=\sum_{j=1}^k1/j(k=1,2,3\cdots)$ play an important role in mathematics. Let $p>3$ be a prime. In this paper, we establish a number of congruences with the form $\sum_{k=1}^{p-1}k^mH_k^n(\mod p^2)$ for…
We consider two questions in string ``phenomenology.'' First, are there any generic string predictions? Second, are there any general lessons which string theory suggests for thinking about low energy models, particularly in the framework…
These lectures intend to give a pedagogical introduction into some of the developments in string theory during the last years. They include perturbative T-duality and non perturbative S- and U-dualities, their unavoidable demand for…
