Let $X_1,X_2,\ldots$ be independent and identically distributed random variables in $\mathbb{C}$ chosen from a probability measure $\mu$ and define the random polynomial $$ P_n(z)=(z-X_1)\ldots(z-X_n)\,. $$ We show that for any sequence $k…

We consider unitary polynomials $P \in Z[X]$ whose roots $(x_i)$ belong to a given compact $K$ of $C$. To such a polynomial we associate the measure $\mu_P$ on $K$ which is the mean value of the Dirac measures $\delta_{x_i}$. What are the…

Given a sequence of real rooted polynomials $\{p_n\}_{n\geq 1}$ with a fixed asymptotic root distribution, we study the asymptotic root distribution of the repeated polar derivatives of this sequence. This limiting distribution can be seen…

Let $X_1,X_2,...$ be independent identically distributed random variables with values in $\C$. Denote by $\mu$ the probability distribution of $X_1$. Consider a random polynomial $P_n(z)=(z-X_1)...(z-X_n)$. We prove a conjecture of Pemantle…

The famous Rogers-Ramanujan and Andrews--Gordon identities are embedded in a doubly-infinite family of Rogers-Ramanujan-type identities labelled by positive integers m and n. For fixed m and n the product side corresponds to a specialised…

In this article, we investigate the statistical distribution and asymptotic behavior of the family of monic integer polynomials of degree $n$ having at least one root in a fixed number field $K$. Although the framework of thin sets implies…

Let $\mathbb C_k[Z_1,\ldots, Z_n]$ denote the set of all polynomials of degree at most $k$ in $n$ complex variables and $\mathscr{C}_n$ denote the set of all $n$ - tuple $\boldsymbol T=(T_1,\ldots,T_n)$ of commuting contractions on some…

Let t[n] be a sequence that satisfies a first order homogeneous recurrence t[n] = Q[n]*t[n-1], where Q is a polynomial with integer coefficients. The asymptotic behavior of the p-adic valuation of t[n] is described under the assumption that…

The primes or prime polynomials (over finite fields) are supposed to be distributed `irregularly' , despite nice asymptotic or average behavior. We provide some conjectures/guesses/hypotheses with `evidence' of surprising symmetries in…

We studied Ramanujan series $\sum_{q=1}^{\infty}G(q)c_q(a)$, where $c_q(a)$ is the well-known Ramanujan sum and the complex numbers $G(q)$, as $q\in$N, are the Ramanujan coefficients; of course, we mean, implicitly, that the series…

Recently, Amdeberhan and Merca proved some arithmetic properties of the crank parity function $C(n)$ defined as the difference between the number of partitions of $n$ with even cranks and those with odd cranks and the sequence $a(n)$ whose…

Srinivasa Ramanujan posed a problem on infinite nested radical of the square root in the Journal of Indian Mathematical Society in 1911. He had generated the problem years before in the form of an example illustrating a more general…

The Ramanujan sequence $ \{\theta_{n}\}_{n \geq 0}$, defined as $$ \theta_{0}= \frac{1}{2} \ , \ \ \ \theta_{n} = \left(\ \ \frac{e^{n}}{2} - \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \frac{n^{k}}{k !} \ \ \right) \cdot \frac{n !}{n^{n}} \ , \ \ n \geq 1 \ ,$$ has…

Let p be any prime and a be a positive integer. For nonnegative integers l,n and an integer r, the normalized cyclotomic $\psi$-coefficient $${n,r}_{l,p^a}:=p^{-[(n-p^{a-1}-lp^a)/(p^{a-1}(p-1))]} \sum_{k=r(mod p^a)}(-1)^k{n \choose…

The Ap\'ery polynomials are given by $$A_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk^2\binom{n+k}k^2x^k\ \ (n=0,1,2,\ldots).$$ (Those $A_n=A_n(1)$ are Ap\'ery numbers.) Let $p$ be an odd prime. We show that…

For a pair of positive integers (k,r) with r>1 such that k+1 and r-1 are relatively prime, we describe the space of symmetric polynomials in variables x_1,...,x_n which vanish at all diagonals of codimension k of the form…

A celebrated theorem of Delange gives a sufficient condition for an arithmetic function to be the sum of the associated Ramanujan expansion with the coefficients provided by a previous result of Wintner. By applying the Delange theorem to…

In this paper, we study functions of the roots of a univariate polynomial in which the roots have a given multiplicity structure $\mu$. Traditionally, root functions are studied via the theory of symmetric polynomials; we extend this theory…

We consider the sums $S(k)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^{nk}}{(2n+1)^k}$ and $\zeta(2k)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^{2k}}$ with $k$ being a positive integer. We evaluate these sums with multiple integration, a modern technique. First, we…

We provide an asymptotic estimate for certain sums over k-free integers with small prime factors. These sums depend upon a complex parameter \alpha and involve a smooth cut-off f. They are a variation of several classical number-theoretical…
