The bifurcation sets of polynomial functions have been studied by many mathematicians from various points of view. In particular, N\'emethi and Zaharia described them in terms of Newton polytopes. In this paper, we will show analogous…
We use sums over integer compositions analogous to generating functions in partition theory, to express certain partition enumeration functions as sums over compositions into parts that are $k$-gonal numbers; our proofs employ Ramanujan's…
Since their definition in 2010 by Zagier, quantum modular forms have been connected to numerous different topics such as strongly unimodal sequences, ranks, cranks, and asymptotics for mock theta functions near roots of unity. These are…
The classical propositional logic is known to be sound and complete with respect to the set semantics that interprets connectives as set operations. The paper extends propositional language by a new binary modality that corresponds to…
In this paper, we prove power-saving bounds for the corelation of the M\"obius function with polynomial phases of degree $k$ in function fields $\mathbb{F}_p[t]$, when $p > k$. The proof relies on a new approximation result for phases of…
A formal series in noncommuting variables $\Sigma$ over the rationals is a mapping $\Sigma^* \to \mathbb Q$. We say that a series is commutative if the value in the output does not depend on the order of the symbols in the input. The…
We formulate some problems and conjectures about semigroups of rational functions under composition. The considered problems arise in different contexts, but most of them are united by a certain relationship to the concept of amenability.
We establish a connection between analytic number theory and computational learning theory by showing that the M\"obius function belongs to a class of functions that is statistically hard to learn from random samples. Let $\mu_R$ denote the…
Counting functions are constructed for sums of integers raised to a fixed positive rational power. That is, given values formed by $u_1^{j/k} + u_2^{j/k} + ... + u_l^{j/k}$, $u_i \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, the number of values less than or equal to…
This survey text deals with irrationality, and linear independence over the rationals, of values at positive odd integers of Riemann zeta function. The first section gives all known proofs (and connections between them) of Ap\'ery's Theorem…
We consider two sequences of orthogonal polynomials $(P_n)_{n\geq 0}$ and $(Q_n)_{n\geq 0}$ with respect regular functionals ${\bf u}$ and ${\bf v}$, respectively. We assume that $$\sum_{j=1} ^{M} a_{j,n}\mathrm{D}_x ^k P_{k+n-j}…
Let $(K,\nu)$ be a real closed valued field, and let $S\subseteq K^n$ be a definable open semi-algebraic set. We find an algebraic characterization of rational functions which are OVF-integral on $S$. We apply the existing model theoretic…
A solution is proposed for the problem of composition of ordinary generating functions. A new class of functions that provides a composition of ordinary generating functions is introduced; main theorems are presented; compositae are written…
We compute the complexity of the classes of operators $\mathfrak{G}_{\xi, \zeta}\cap \mathcal{L}$ and $\mathfrak{M}_{\xi, \zeta}\cap \mathcal{L}$ in the coding of operators between separable Banach spaces. We also prove the non-existence of…
In recent work of Wildberger and Rubine, it is shown that the formal power series $\mathbf{S}$ in the variables $t_1,t_2,\dots$ satisfying $\mathbf{S}=1+\sum_{n\geq 1} t_n\mathbf{S}^n$ has a factorisation…
We consider zeta functions with values in the Grothendieck ring of Chow motives. Investigating the lambda-structure of this ring, we deduce a functional equation for the zeta function of abelian varieties. Furthermore, we show that the…
An operator set is functionally incomplete if it can not represent the full set $\lbrace \neg,\vee,\wedge,\rightarrow,\leftrightarrow\rbrace$. The verification for the functional incompleteness highly relies on constructive proofs. The…
Let $\mathfrak{Var}_k^G$ denote the category of pairs $(X,\sigma)$, where $X$ is a variety over $k$ and $\sigma$ is a group action on $X$. We define the Grothendieck ring for varieties with group actions as the free abelian group of…
This paper shows how to construct a discrete Morse function with a relatively small number of critical cells for the order complex of any finite poset with $\hat{0} $ and $\hat{1}$ from any lexicographic order on its maximal chains.…
We use M\"obius inversion and the Bernoulli polynomials to prove inequalities between the logarithmic summatory function of the M\"obius function and weighted averages of its ordinary summatory function.
