We prove quite general statements about functional equations in any number of variables for the dilogarithms defined by Bloch-Wigner, Rogers, and Coleman, showing that they follow from certain 5-term and 2-term relations in a precise way.…

We express the classical $p$-adic integers $\hat{\mathbb{Z}_p}$, as a metric space, as a final colagebra to a certain endofunctor. We realize the addition and the multiplication on $\hat{\mathbb{Z}_p}$ as the coalgebra maps from…

Let $\mathcal{S}$ denote the class of functions analytic and univalent (i.e. one-to-one) in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\, |z|<1\}$ normalized by $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$. The logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n$ of $f\in\mathcal{S}$…

For a linearly recurrent vector sequence P[n+1] = A(n) * P[n], consider the problem of calculating either the n-th term P[n] or L<=n arbitrary terms P[n_1],...,P[n_L], both for the case of constant coefficients A(n)=A and for a matrix A(n)…

We establish a connection between multiple polylogarithms on a torus and the Steinberg module of $\mathbb{Q}$, and show that multiple polylogarithms of depth $d$ and weight $n$ can be expressed via a single function…

Let $(P_n(x;z;\lambda))_{n\geq 0}$ be the sequence of monic orthogonal polynomials with respect to the symmetric linear functional $\mathbf{s}$ defined by $$\langle\mathbf{s},p\rangle=\int_{-1}^1 p(x)(1-x^2)^{(\lambda-1/2)}…

We investigate various properties of p-adic differential equations which have as a solution an analytic function of the form $F_k (x) = \sum_{n\geq 0} n! P_k (n) x^n$, where $P_k (n) = n^k + C_{k-1} n^{k-1} + ...+ C_0$ is a polynomial in n…

For univalent and normalized functions $f$ the logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n(f)$ are determined by the formula $\log(f(z)/z)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}2\gamma_n(f)z^n$. In the paper \cite{Pon} the authors posed the conjecture that a locally…

The aim of this paper is to propose an ``elementary" approach to Coleman's theory of p-adic abelian integrals. Our main tool is a theory of commutative p-adic Lie groups (the logarithm map); we use neither dagger analysis nor…

Let ${\mathcal U}(\lambda)$ denote the family of analytic functions $f(z)$, $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$, in the unit disk $\ID$, which satisfy the condition $\big |\big (z/f(z)\big )^{2}f'(z)-1\big |<\lambda $ for some $0<\lambda \leq 1$. The…

The partition function, $p_A(n)$, is defined to be the number of partitions of $n$ with parts in the set A, where $n$ is a positive integer and $A$ is a set of positive integers. It is well documented that: if A is a finite set with…

Let $\Re_n$ be the set of all rational functions of the type $r(z) = p(z)/w(z),$ where $p(z)$ is a polynomial of degree at most $n$ and $w(z) = \prod_{j=1}^{n}(z-a_j)$, $|a_j|>1$ for $1\leq j\leq n$. In this paper, we set up some results…

In characteristic zero, Zinovy Reichstein and the author generalized the usual relationship between irreducible Zariski closed subsets of the affine space, their defining ideals, coordinate rings, and function fields, to a non-commutative…

The linear complete differential resultant of a finite set of linear ordinary differential polynomials is defined. We study the computation by linear complete differential resultants of the implicit equation of a system of $n$ linear…

It's well known that multiple polylogarithms give rise to good unipotent variations of mixed Hodge-Tate structures. In this paper we shall {\em explicitly} determine these structures related to multiple logarithms and some other multiple…

We exploit some properties of the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta (n,x)$ in order to study sums of the form $\frac{1}{\pi ^{n}}\sum_{j=-\infty}^{\infty}1/(jk+l)^{n}$ and $\frac{1}{\pi ^{n}}\sum_{j=-\infty}^{\infty}(-1)^{j}/(jk+l)^{n}$ for $%…

In this paper we consider polynomial representability of functions defined over $Z_{p^n}$, where $p$ is a prime and $n$ is a positive integer. Our aim is to provide an algorithmic characterization that (i) answers the decision problem: to…

We generalize the usual relationship between irreducible Zariski closed subsets of the affine space, their defining ideals, coordinate rings, and function fields, to a non-commutative setting, where "varieties" carry a PGL_n-action, regular…

We use a new idea to construct a theory of iterated Coleman functions in higher dimensions than 1. A Coleman function in this theory consists of a unipotent differential equation, a section on the underlying bundle and a solution to the…

In the $1970$s, Nicolas proved that the partition function $p(n)$ is log-concave for $ n > 25$. In \cite{HNT21}, a precise conjecture on the log-concavity for the plane partition function $\func{pp}(n)$ for $n >11$ was stated. This was…
