The simple continued fractions for the Golden & Silver means are well-known. It is astonishing that, as far as we know, no one has published half-iterates (let alone quarter-iterates) for the corresponding algorithms. We also examine the…

Let $E_1, \ldots, E_s $ be $s$, not necessary distinct, elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$. We give upper bounds on the frequency of $s$-tuples of points in $E_1(\mathbb{Q})\times \ldots \times E_s(\mathbb{Q})$ whose denominators or…

Let $p$ be a prime. We prove bounds on short Dirichlet character sums evaluated at a class of homogeneous polynomials in arbitrary dimensions. In every dimension, this bound is nontrivial for sums over boxes with side lengths as short as…

We revisit certain one-parameter families of affine covers arising naturally from Euler's integral representation of hypergeometric functions. We introduce a partial compactification of this family. We show that the zeta function of the…

We study the counting function of rational approximations with given bounds on the denominator and satisfying the critical Dirichlet exponent on the sphere $S^d$, $d\geq 3$. We give an effective estimate for this counting function, with an…

Let $\lambda$ be a self-dual Hecke character over an imaginary quadratic field $K$ of infinity type $(1,0)$. Let $\ell$ and $p$ be primes which are coprime to $6N_{K/\mathbb{Q}}({\mathrm cond}(\lambda))$. We determine the $\ell$-adic…

The distribution of primes raising the level of even Galois representations of tetrahedral type is studied. Data are presented on primes $v\leq 10^8$ raising the level of $3$-adic even representations of various conductors. Based on the…

We reinterpret a result of Pop and Stix on the $p$-adic section conjecture in terms of Berkovich spaces and fixed points. In doing this, we see a version of the result extends to larger classes of fields, which in turn allows us to prove a…

We present a new determinant identity involving the coefficients of the Artin-Hasse exponential. In particular, if $E(x) = \exp(\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{x^{p^k}}{p^k}) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty u_nx^n$ is the Artin-Hasse exponential, we give, for…

We give a conditional proof of the Uniform Boundedness Conjecture of Morton and Silverman in the case of polynomials over number fields, assuming a standard conjecture in arithmetic geometry. Our technique simultaneously yields a dynamical…

Let $5 \leq k \leq 11$ and $0\leq i \leq k-1$ be integers. We determine all solutions to the equation \begin{align*} n(n+d)(n+2d)\cdots(n+(i-1)d)(n+(i+1)d) \cdots (n+(k-1)d) = y^3 \end{align*} in integers $n,d,y$ with $ny \neq 0$, $d\geq…

Let \[ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}A(n)q^{n} := \frac{(q^{2};q^{5})_{\infty}^{5}(q^{3};q^{5})_{\infty}^{5}}{(q;q^{5})_{\infty}^{5}(q^{4};q^{5})_{\infty}^{5}}, \] \[ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} B(n)q^{n} := \frac{(q;q^{5})_{\infty}^{5}…

Let $b\geq3$ be an integer and $C(b,D)$ be the set of real numbers in $[0,1]$ whose $b$-ary expansion consists of digits restricted to a given set $D\subseteq\{0,\ldots,b-1\}$. Given an integer $t\geq2$ and a real, positive function $\psi$,…

Building upon the work of Stucker, Vennos, and Young we derive generalized Dedekind sums arising from period integrals applied to holomorphic Eisenstein series attached to pairs of primitive non-trivial Dirichlet characters. Furthermore, we…

In the first part of the paper, we fix a non-CM elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ and an odd prime $\ell$ and investigate the distribution of invariants associated to the $\ell$-volcano containing the reduction $E_p$, as $p$ ranges over primes…

In 1973 Montgomery formulated the pair correlation conjecture, predicting that the local spacing statistics of the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function coincide with those of eigenvalues of large Hermitian matrices from the…

We study the function field analogue of Shanks bias. For Liouville function $\lambda(f)$, we compare the number of monic polynomials $f$ with $\lambda(f) \chi_m(f) = 1$ and $\lambda(f) \chi_m(f) = -1$ for a nontrivial quadratic character…

Let $\pi$ be a polarized, regular algebraic, cuspidal automorphic representation of $\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb{A}_F)$ where $F$ is totally real or imaginary CM, and let $(\rho_\lambda)_\lambda$ be its associated compatible system of…

In this article, we use two different approaches -- one algebraic and the other analytic -- to study the variation of Iwasawa invariants of rational elliptic curves in some quadratic twist families. The analytic approach involves a thorough…

We study the low-lying zeros of a family of $L$-functions attached to the CM elliptic curve $E_d \;:\; y^2 = x^3 - dx$, for each odd and square-free integer $d$. Specifically, upon writing the $L$-function of $E_d$ as $L(s-\frac12, \xi_d)$…
