An Identity for Vertically Aligned Entries in Pascal's Triangle

Combinatorics 2019-02-04 v2 Number Theory

Abstract

The classic way to write down Pascal's triangle leads to entries in alternating rows being vertically aligned. In this paper, we prove a linear dependence on vertically aligned entries in Pascal's triangle. Furthermore, we give an application of this dependence to morphisms between hyperelliptic curves.
