A nonempty finite set of positive integers A is relatively prime if gcd(A) = 1 and it is relatively prime to n if gcd(A [ fng) = 1. The number of nonempty subsets of A which are relatively prime to n is \Phi(A, n) and the number of such…

Let $(p_n)$ denote the sequence of prime numbers, with $2=p_1<p_2<\ldots$. We demonstrate the existence of an irrational number $\alpha$ having the property that the sequence $(\alpha p_n)$ is not well-distributed modulo $1$.

We classify the irreducible representations of smooth, connected affine algebraic groups over a field, by tackling the case of pseudo-reductive groups. We reduce the problem of calculating the dimension for pseudo-split pseudo-reductive…

Let $\mathcal{P}=\{p_1,p_2,...\}$ be the set of all odd primes arranged in increasing order. A Goldbach partition of the even integer $2k>4$ is a way of writing it as a sum of two primes from $\mathcal{P}$ without regard to order. Let…

We continue our study of exponent semigroups of rational matrices. Our main result is that the matricial dimension of a numerical semigroup is at most its multiplicity (the least generator), greatly improving upon the previous upper bound…

A quasigroup is a pair $(Q, *)$ where $Q$ is a non-empty set and $*$ is a binary operation on $Q$ such that for every $(a, b) \in Q^2$ there exists a unique $(x, y) \in Q^2$ such that $a*x=b=y*a$. Let $(Q, *)$ be a quasigroup. A pair $(x,…

Let $p>3$ be a prime number. We compute the rings of invariants of the elementary abelian $p$-group $(\mathbb Z/p\mathbb Z)^r$ for $3$-dimensional generic representations. Furthermore we show that these rings of invariants are complete…

A thorough analysis is made of the Fourier coefficients for vector-valued modular forms associated to three-dimensional irreducible representations of the modular group. In particular, the following statement is verified for all but a…

Let $k\geq2$ and $s$ be positive integers. Let $\theta\in(0,1)$ be a real number. In this paper, we establish that if $s>k(k+1)$ and $\theta>0.55$, then every sufficiently large natural number $n$, subjects to certain congruence conditions,…

A numerical semigroup is an additive subsemigroup of the non-negative integers. In this paper, we consider parametrized families of numerical semigroups of the form $P_n = \langle f_1(n), \ldots, f_k(n) \rangle$ for polynomial functions…

Recently, I have defined the so called PDF's (prime distribution factors) which govern the distribution of prime numbers of the type $p,p+a_i$ being all primes up to some number $n$. It was shown that the PDF's are expressible in terms of…

Let p<q be coprime integers. Kunz-Waldi semigroups are numerical semigroups containing p and q and contained in <p,q,r>, where 2r=p,q,p+q whichever is even. In this paper, we prove a conjecture on the Betti numbers of the semigroup rings of…

We establish representation types (finite, tame or wild) of finite dimensional Munn algebras with semisimple bases. As an application, we establish representation types of finite 0-simple semigroups and their mutually annihilating unions.

In this paper, we introduce the concept of Denjoy-Wolff set in rational semigroups. We show that for finitely generated Abelian rational semigroups, the Denjoy-Wolff like set is countable. Some results concerning the Denjoy-Wolff like set…

Given a positive integer $n$, we let ${\rm sfp}(n)$ denote the squarefree part of $n$. We determine all positive integers $n$ for which $\max \{ {\rm sfp}(n), {\rm sfp}(n+1), {\rm sfp}(n+2) \} \leq 150$ by relating the problem to finding…

In this paper we analyze the irreducibility of numerical semigroups with multiplicity up to four. Our approach uses the notion of Kunz-coordinates vector of a numerical semigroup recently introduced in (Blanco-Puerto, 2011). With this tool…

A symmetry $SU(2,2)$ group in terms of ladder operators is presented for the Jacobi polynomials, $J_{n}^{(\alpha,\beta)}(x)$, and the Wigner $d_j$-matrices where the spins $j=n+(\alpha+\beta)/2$ integer and half-integer are considered…

A numerical semigroup is said to be ordinary if it has all its gaps in a row. Indeed, it contains zero and all integers from a given positive one. One can define a simple operation on a non-ordinary semigroup, which we call here the…

The purpose of this paper is to describe a general procedure for computing analogues of Young's seminormal representations of the symmetric groups. The method is to generalize the Jucys-Murphy elements in the group algebras of the symmetric…

We use sums of Liouville type to count the number of ways a positive integer can be represented by the forms $(a+c)^{1/3}x + (b+d)y$, $(a+c)x + \bigl(k(b+d) \bigr)^{1/3} y$, and $\bigl(k(a+c) \bigr)^{1/3} x + l(b+d) y$ for nonnegative…
