We give some new identities for (h; q)-Genocchi numbers and polynomials by means of the fermionic p-adic q-integral on Zp and the weighted q-Bernstein polynomials.

We consider the structure of finite $p$-groups $G$ having precisely three characteristic subgroups, namely $1$, $\Phi(G)$ and $G$. The structure of $G$ varies markedly depending on whether $G$ has exponent $p$ or $p^2$, and, in both cases,…

We complete our boundedness theory of commutators of bilinear bi-parameter singular integrals by establishing the following result. If $T$ is a bilinear bi-parameter singular integral satisfying suitable $T1$ type assumptions,…

The graded parafermion conformal field theory at level k is a close cousin of the much-studied Z_k parafermion model. Three character formulas for the graded parafermion theory are presented, one bosonic, one fermionic (both previously…

On a complex symplectic manifold we prove a finiteness result for the global sections of solutions of holonomic DQ-modules in two cases: (a) by assuming that there exists a Poisson compactification (b) in the algebraic case. This extends…

We primarily investigate the properties of characteristic polynomials of semimatroids. In particular, we provide a combinatorial interpretation of their coefficients, generalizing the Whitney's Broken Circuit Theorem. We also prove that the…

In this article we study the fields generated by the Fourier coefficients of modular forms at arbitrary cusps. We prove that these fields are contained in certain cyclotomic extensions of the field generated by the Fourier coefficients at…

Let $F$ be a field of characteristic not $2$ with finitely many square classes. Using combinatorial arguments applied to objects related to vector spaces over finite fields, we deduce an upper bound for the number of Pfister forms over $F$.…

We obtain explicit factorizations of reduced period polynomials of degree $2^m$, $m\ge 4$, for finite fields of characteristic $p\equiv 3$ or $5\pmod{8}$. This extends the results of G. Myerson, who considered the cases $m=1$ and $m=2$, and…

Let $p$ be a prime. We prove bounds on short Dirichlet character sums evaluated at a class of homogeneous polynomials in arbitrary dimensions. In every dimension, this bound is nontrivial for sums over boxes with side lengths as short as…

Let d be a positive integer. We show a finiteness theorem for semialgebraic RL triviality of a Nash family of Nash functions defined on a Nash manifold, generalising Benedetti-Shiota's finiteness theorem for semialgebraic RL equivalence…

In this paper, we address the problem for enumerating the number of finite field elements with prescribed trace and co-trace in case of arbitrary characteristic $p$. We show that this problem can be reduced to solving a system of $p-1$…

Some identities between unitary minimal Virasoro characters at levels 3, 4 and 5 are shown to arise as a consequence of relations between Artin L-functions of different quadratic fields. The definitions and concepts of number theory…

Let S be a basic closed semi-algebraic set in R^n and P the corresponding preordering in R[X_1,...,X_n]. We examine for which polynomials f there exist identities f+\ep q \in P for all \ep>0. These are precisely the elements of the…

Recently, various extensions and variants of Bessel functions of several kinds have been presented. Among them, the $(p,q)$-confluent hypergeometric function $\Phi_{p,q}$ has been introduced and investigated. Here, we aim to introduce an…

Linear recurrence operators in characteristic $p$ are classified by their $p$-curvature. For a recurrence operator $L$, denote by $\chi(L)$ the characteristic polynomial of its $p$-curvature. We can obtain information about the…

We prove L^p estimates for the "biest", a trilinear multiplier with singular symbol which arises naturally in the expansion of eigenfunctions of a Schrodinger operator, and which is also related to the bilinear Hilbert transform. In a…

We give nontrivial bounds for the bilinear sums $$ \sum_{u = 1}^{U} \sum_{v=1}^V \alpha_u \beta_v \mathbf{\,e}_p(u/f(v)) $$ where $\mathbf{\,e}_p(z)$ is a nontrivial additive character of the prime finite field ${\mathbb F}_p$ of $p$…

We consider the monomial expansion of the $q$-Whittaker and modified Hall-Littlewood polynomialsarising from specialization of the modified Macdonald polynomial. The two combinatorial formulas for the latter due to Haglund, Haiman, and…

We construct Belyi maps having specified behavior at finitely many points. Specifically, for any curve C defined over Q-bar, and any disjoint finite subsets S, T in C(Q-bar), we construct a finite morphism f: C -> P^1 such that f ramifies…
