In this paper, we demonstrate the existence of the second moment of the Selberg zeta function for a Fuchsian group of the first kind at $\sigma = 1$. The prime geodesic theorem plays a crucial role in this context. The proof extends to…

This paper is devoted to finding moments of double exponential sums with monomials over arbitrary sets and intervals in finite fields. The study of such sums dates back to the work of Heath-Brown, who studied such sums in a work on least…

We study the structure of the \'etale fundamental groups of smooth curves over certain arithmetic schemes, and investigate the relative version of Grothendieck's anabelian conjecture in this setting. Consequently, every hyperbolic curve…

Elkies proved the infinitude of supersingular primes for elliptic curves over real number fields. We generalize Elkies' result to some abelian fourfolds in Mumford's families, and more generally, to certain families of Kuga-Satake abelian…

We prove new linear independence results for the values of generalized hypergeometric functions ${}_pF_q$ at several distinct algebraic points, over arbitrary algebraic number fields. Our approach combines constructions of type II Pad\'{e}…

We consider a family of operators connected with the geodesic flow on the modular surface. We show certain spectral information is retained after expanding their domain to the space of $\alpha$-H\"older continuous functions on the unit…

Recently, Baake and Coons proved several results on the average size of the autocorrelations of the Thue--Morse sequence. They also considered the absolute value of the autocorrelations, and showed that the average value of the…

In this report, we present a proof of Levinson's theorem, following the ideas of Matthew P. Young in 2010, which states that one-third of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function lie on the critical line, i.e. the line Re(s) =…

In 1937, Rademacher refined the circle method of Hardy and Ramanujan to derive an exact convergent series for the partition function $p(n)$. In 1942, Hua derived an exact formula for the distinct part partition function, and in 1971, Hagis…

In this paper we find the smallest part function related to the $4$-th symmetrized crank function, corresponding to the one obtained in Patkowski [11] for the $4$-th symmetrized rank function. This provides us with a direct relationship…

In the 1970's, Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer conjectured that Fourier coefficients of holomorphic modular cusp forms on noncongruence subgroups of $\text{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ satisfy certain $p$-adic recurrence relations which are analogous to…

This paper provides a commentary and guide to Appendix 8 of Laws Of Form, which is a chapter (appendix) on number theory in the book Laws of Form by Spencer-Brown. (Spencer-Brown,Laws Of Form,Revised Seventh English edition. Bohmeier…

We construct the Bruhat-Tits stratification of the reduced basic locus of regular ramified unitary Rapoport-Zink spaces of signature $(n\!-\!1,1)$ at vertex-stabilizer level. To study the Bruhat-Tits strata, we introduce strata…

We survey recent work done on the values at integer points of irrational inhomogeneous quadratic forms, namely, inhomogeneous analogues of the famous Oppenheim conjecture. We also prove that the set of such forms in two variables whose set…

Using Katz's equidistribution framework, we show that for any squarefree polynomial $f \in \mathbb{F}_q[t]$ of degree $n \ge 2$, every residue class modulo $f$ can be represented as a product of two monic irreducible polynomials of degree…

We give 39 rapidly convergent continued fractions for Chowla--Selberg gamma quotients, and deduce good irrationality measures for 20 of them, including for $\operatorname{CS}(-3)=(\Gamma(1/3)/\Gamma(2/3))^3$, for…

Let $X$ be a $G$-homogeneous space over a number field $k$ such that $X\cong G_\gamma\backslash G$. Here, $G$ is a simply connected semisimple group over $k$ and $\gamma\in G(k)$ whose centralizer $G_\gamma$ is a maximal torus in $G$ which…

This paper re-organizes Vojta's proof of the Mordell conjecture (i.e. Faltings' theorem) in terms of Arakelov geometry. A new ingredient is to replace an application of Gillet--Soule's arithmetic Riemannn--Roch theorem by that of Yuan's…

We establish a new bound for short character sums in finite fields, particularly over two-dimensional grids in $\mathbb{F}_{p^3}$ and higher-dimensional lattices in $\mathbb{F}_{p^d}$, extending an earlier work of Mei-Chu Chang on Burgess…

In 2008, Wang \& Wang showed that the set of gaps of a numerical semigroup generated by two coprime positive integers $a$ and $b$ is equidistributed modulo 2 precisely when $a$ and $b$ are both odd. Shor generalized this in 2022, showing…
