We confirm several conjectures of Guo, Jouhet and Zeng concerning the factors of alternative binomials sums.
New differential-recurrence properties of dual Bernstein polynomials are given which follow from relations between dual Bernstein and orthogonal Hahn and Jacobi polynomials. Using these results, a fourth-order differential equation…
We prove an equivalence between a conjecture of Neumann and Praeger on Kronecker classes in algebraic number fields, and a conjecture on cliques of derangement graphs in combinatorics.
We establish a supercongruence conjectured by Almkvist and Zudilin, by proving a corresponding $q$-supercongruence. Similar $q$-supercongruences are established for binomial coefficients and the Ap\'{e}ry numbers, by means of a general…
We prove that a certain conjecture holds true and the conjecture states a relationship between the zeta function of a finite category and the Euler characteristic of a finite category.
For a root system R, a field K and a "choice of coefficients in K" we define a category of graded spaces with operators and study some of its properties. Then we assume that the coefficients are given by quantum binomials. We use basic…
In this paper, we present several new congruences on the $q$-trinomial coefficients introduced by Andrews and Baxter. A new congruence on sums of central $q$-binomial coefficients is also established.
We isolate two combinatorial properties, each expressible by a $\Pi_2$-sentence over the structure $(H(\omega_3),\in,\omega_1,\omega_2,\text{NS}_{\omega_2})$, such that each property is consistent with CH, and their conjunction together…
The Vandermonde-Chu Binomial Coefficients Identity is shown to imply Bombieri's deep norm inequalities, via identities of Beauzamy-D\'egot, and Reznick.
Given an odd prime p, we present three independent ways of relating modulo p certain truncated convolutions of divided Bernoulli numbers to certain full convolutions of divided Bernoulli numbers.
We collect here various conjectures on congruences made by the author in a series of papers, some of which involve binary quadratic forms and other advanced theories. Part A consists of 100 unsolved conjectures of the author while…
From Carlitz's identity, we deduce two new $q$-supercongruences modulo the square of a cyclotomic polynomial, which were originally conjectured by Guo. These results establish new $q$-analogues of a supercongruence of Sun.
Based on a bijection due to Fu and Tang, we provide combinatorial proofs of several partition identities of Andrews and Merca. We also introduce two weights for partitions to extend one of these identities.
A combinatorial construction proves an identity for the product of the Pfaffian of a skew-symmetric matrix by the Pfaffian of one of its submatrices. Several applications of this identity are followed by a brief history of Pfaffians.
We obtain connection coefficients between $q$-binomial and $q$-trinomial coefficients. Using these, one can transform $q$-binomial identities into a $q$-trinomial identities and back again. To demonstrate the usefulness of this procedure we…
We prove a conjecture of H.Widom stated in [W] (math/0108008) about the reality of eigenvalues of certain infinite matrices arising in asymptotic analysis of large Toeplitz determinants. As a byproduct we obtain a new proof of A.Okounkov's…
Using generalized binomial coefficients with respect to fundamental Lucas sequences we establish congruences that generalize the classical congruence of Wolstenholme and other related stronger congruences.
We prove that the $abc$-Conjecture implies upper bounds on Zsigmondy sets that are uniform over families of unicritical polynomials over number fields. As an application, we use the $abc$-Conjecture to prove that there exist uniform bounds…
Some new identities for Schur functions are proved. In particular, we settle in the affirmative a recent conjecture of Ishikawa-Wakayama and solve a problem raised by Bressoud.
We find a $q$-analog of the following symmetrical identity involving binomial coefficients $\binom{n}{m}$ and Eulerian numbers $A_{n,m}$, due to Chung, Graham and Knuth [{\it J. Comb.}, {\bf 1} (2010), 29--38]: {equation*} \sum_{k\geq…
