We prove congruences, modulo a power of a prime p, for certain finite sums involving central binomial coefficients $\binom{2k}{k}$.

In this article, we prove a modulo $p$ congruence which connects the class number of the quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{(-1)^{(p-1)/2}p})$ and the trace of a certain monomial in a root $\theta$ of the Artin-Schreier polynomial…

A "practical number" is a positive integer $n$ such that every positive integer less than $n$ can be written as a sum of distinct divisors of $n$. We prove that most of the binomial coefficients are practical numbers. Precisely, letting…

In this paper, we calculate the unit groups and the $2$-class numbers of the fields $ \mathbb{K}= \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{p_1}, \sqrt{p_2})$ and $ \mathbb{L}= \mathbb{Q}( \sqrt{-1},\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{p_1}, \sqrt{p_2})$, where $p_1$ and…

There are many different algebraic, geometric and combinatorial objects that one can attach to a complex polynomial with distinct roots. In this article we introduce a new object that encodes many of the existing objects that have…

Let E: y^2 = x^3 + Ax + B be an elliptic curve defined over a finite field of characteristic p\geq 3. In this paper we prove that the coefficient at x^{p(p-1)/2} in the p-th division polynomial \psi_p(x) of E equals the coefficient at…

Let $p>3$ be a prime. We prove that $$\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}\binom{2k}{k}/2^k=(-1)^{(p-1)/2}-p^2E_{p-3} (mod p^3),$$ $$\sum_{k=1}^{(p-1)/2}\binom{2k}{k}/k=(-1)^{(p+1)/2}8/3*pE_{p-3} (mod p^2),$$…

We propose higher-order generalizations of Jacobsthal's $p$-adic approximation for binomial coefficients. Our results imply explicit formulae for linear combinations of binomial coefficients $\binom{ip}{p}$ ($i=1,2,\dots$) that are…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and $m,r \in \mathbb{Z}^+$ with $m$ coprime to $p$. In this paper we investigate the real quadratic fields $K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{m^2p^{2r} + 1})$. We first show that for $m < C$, where constant $C$ depends on $p$,…

Let $t\in\mathbb{N}_+$ be given. In this article we are interested in characterizing those $d\in\mathbb{N}_+$ such that the congruence $$\frac{1}{t}\sum_{s=0}^{t-1}{n+d\zeta_t^s\choose d-1}\equiv {n\choose d-1}\pmod{d}$$ is true for each…

We classify the filtered modules with coefficients corresponding to two-dimensional potentially semi-stable $p$-adic representations of the absolute Galois groups of $p$-adic fields under the assumptions that $p$ is odd and the coefficients…

We show in this paper that the roots $x_1$ and $x_2$ of a scalar quadratic polynomial $ax^2+bx+c=0$ with real or complex coefficients $a$, $b$ $c$ can be computed in a element-wise mixed stable manner, measured in a relative sense. We also…

By using the Newton interpolation formula, we generalize the recent identities on the Catalan triangle obtained by Miana and Romero as well as those of Chen and Chu. We further study divisibility properties of sums of products of binomial…

In this paper, we derive explicit formulas for computing the roots of $ax^{2}+bx+c=0$ with $a$ being not invertible in split quaternion algebra. We also imitate the approach developed by Opfer, Janovska and Falcao etc. to verify our results…

This paper is continuation of the paper "Primitive roots in quadratic field". We consider an analogue of Artin's primitive root conjecture for algebraic numbers which is not a unit in real quadratic fields. Given such an algebraic number,…

Let $p(x)$ be an integer polynomial with $m\ge 2$ distinct roots $\rho_1,\ldots,\rho_m$ whose multiplicities are $\boldsymbol{\mu}=(\mu_1,\ldots,\mu_m)$. We define the D-plus discriminant of $p(x)$ to be $D^+(p):= \prod_{1\le i<j\le…

Kronecker coefficients encode the tensor products of complex irreducible representations of symmetric groups. Their stability properties have been considered recently by several authors (Vallejo, Pak and Panova, Stembridge). We describe a…
