Let $P_s(n)$ denote the $n$-th $s$-gonal number. Consider the Diophantine equation $P_{s}(n) = t^{m}$ for integers $n, s, t$ and $m > 2$. All solutions to this equation are known for $m>2$ and $s\in\{3,5,6,8,10,20\}$. Here we extend these…

The natural extension of the triangle map (a type of multi-dimensional continued fraction algorithm) is completely described in all possible dimensions. The motivation and inspiration for this natural extension stems from the triangle map's…

Given \(H\leq G\) finite abelian groups, a transversal \(T\subseteq G\) for \(G/H\) has fixed size \(|G/H|\), but its ambient difference support \(D(T)=T-T\) can vary with the embedding of \(H\) in \(G\). We call $ \delta(G,H)=\min_T |D(T)|…

We study the coefficients of Ramanujan's third order mock theta function \[ \rho(q)=\sum_{m\geq 0} \frac{q^{2m(m+1)}}{(1+q+q^2)(1+q^3+q^6)\cdots(1+q^{2m+1}+q^{4m+2})} =\sum_{n\geq 0}r(n)q^n. \] Numerical evidence suggests the striking sign…

In this paper we count the number of common values shared by two linear recurrence sequences, whose characteristic polynomials are a generalized Ankeny-Brauer-Chowla polynomial and its reciprocal. More precisely, we show that these…

For level one spherical automorphic forms on the upper half-plane, we prove directly that every automorphic form is a sum of a cusp form and a linear combination of Laurent coefficients of the standard Eisenstein series. This is the…

Slater's list of Rogers-Ramanujan type identities remains a central source of striking series-product formulas in the theory of partitions and basic hypergeometric series. Although many of these identities admit elegant analytic proofs…

We introduce various cohomological obstructions for smooth integral varieties over $p$-adic function fields. We show that the unramified obstruction is the finest one among obstructions arising from arithmetic dualities. We also construct…

Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we establish upper bounds of conjectural order of magnitude for shifted moments of the Dedekind zeta function associated with a finite Galois extension. This improves results of Milinovich and…

Given an ideal in a number field, it is desirable in many situations to find two elements that generate the ideal over the ring of the integers of the field. Existing algorithms are either randomized, or impractical at cryptographic sizes.…

We construct canonical extensions of $p$-adic shtukas on integral models of toroidal compactifications of abelian-type Shimura varieties with quasi-parahoric levels at any prime number $p$. More precisely, we define the notion of a log…

In this article we study the Iwasawa invariants of Bertolini--Darmon theta elements in the anticyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of an imaginary quadratic field $K$ for weight two modular forms $f\in S_2(\Gamma_0(N))$. We cover both the…

We modify the approach to the arithmetical form of the large sieve by relying on the Parseval identity rather than on an approximate Bessel inequality and as a consequence, improve on the weighted large sieve inequality beyond what was…

We construct a family of Whittaker functions for $SL(m,\mathbb{Z})$ induced directly from Whittaker functions for $SL(n,\mathbb{Z})$, for any $2 \leq m<n$. Given Jacquet's Whittaker function $W_{\alpha,N}^{(n)}$ on the generalized upper…

Let $p$ be a prime. Suppose that integers $r$, $e$, $d$ such that $r \ge 2$, $e \ge 0$, $0 \le d \le p$ are given. Let $f(x)=s_0 x^r + s_1 x^{r-1} + \cdots + s_r$ be a generic polynomial of degree $r$ in characteristic $p$. We put…

A linearized function field $F$ can be viewed as a Galois extension of a rational function field $K(x)$. For a totally ramified place $Q$ of degree one in $F/K(x)$, we give a unified description of the set $G(Q)$ of gaps at $Q$. As a…

We study the connection between the Mersenne numbers $M(n) = 2^n-1$ and the dynamics of the angle-doubling map. Within this framework, we develop an algorithm to compute divisors of Mersenne numbers without explicitly evaluating $M(n)$.…

We construct a $1$-bounded completely multiplicative function $f$ whose logarithmically-averaged partial sums satisfy $$ \limsup_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\left|\sum_{n \leq x} \frac{f(n)}{n}\right|}{1+\exp\left(\sum_{p \leq x}…

Let $K$ be a number field, $k\geq 2$ an integer, $(K^*)^k$ the $k$-fold direct product of $K^*$ with coordinatewise multiplication, and $\Gamma$ a finitely generated subgroup of rank $r$ of $(K^*)^k$. Further, let $H(\alpha )$ denote the…

We derived $q$-continued fractions $X_i(q)$ of order thirty-four and continued fractions $Y_i(q)$ of order sixty-eight from a general continued fraction identity of Ramanujan, where $i=1,2,3,4,5,6,7$ and $8$. We established some…
