Recently, Andrews and Bachraoui investigated congruences for certain restricted two-color partitions. They made two conjectures for Ramanujan type congruences and a vanishing identity for the limiting sequence. Very recently, Banerjee,…

The sum of proper divisors function $s(n)$ has been studied for more than 2000 years. In this paper we study statistical properties of the related function $S_s(n) := \sum_{d \mid n} s(d)$. This function arises from a generalization of the…

We define elliptic sequences over a commutative ring as sequences indexed by the (positive) integers satisfying a 4-parameter, highly symmetric family of homogeneous quartic relations among terms which we call elliptic relations. We…

We construct a family of test kernels for use in spectral trace formulas on locally symmetric spaces. The key innovation is the factorization $h_T = g_T \star \widetilde{g}_T$, which simultaneously achieves: (i) automatic positive…

We study the low-lying zeros of certain Artin $L$-functions associated with $D_4$-quartic function fields. Specifically, we prove that when ordered by conductor, at least $77\%$ of these $L$-functions are non-vanishing at the central point.…

A Redheffer--type matrix with Fibonacci entries is defined, and the determinant and spectral properties of this matrix are studied. Also, more general Redheffer--type matrices are considered and intriguing number-theoretic examples are…

We investigate explicit extreme values of the argument of the Riemann zeta-function in short intervals. As an application, we improve the result of Conrey and Turnage-Butterbaugh concerning $r$-gaps between zeros of the Riemann…

The rational base number system, introduced by Akiyama, Frougny, and Sakarovitch in 2008, is a generalization of the classical integer base number system. Within this framework two interesting families of infinite words emerge, called…

We give results on the asymptotic in Waring's problem over function fields that are stronger than the results obtained over the integers using the main conjecture in Vinogradov's mean value theorem. Similar estimates apply to Manin's…

Let $\mathbf{Was}(\mathbb{K})$ denote the group of Washington's cyclotomic units of any abelian number field $\mathbb{K}$. If $\mathbb{K}$ coincides with its genus field in the narrow sense, we give a $\Lambda$-basis of…

We establish a representability criterion of $v$-sheaf theoretic modifications of formal schemes and apply this criterion to moduli spaces of parahoric level structures on local shtukas. In the proof, we introduce nice classes of…

In their seminal paper, Lubotzky, Phillips and Sarnak (LPS) defined the notion of regular Ramanujan graphs and gave an explicit construction of infinite families of $(p+1)$-regular Ramanujan Cayley graphs, for infinitely many primes $p$. In…

In this paper, we study the Koshliakov zeta function $\eta_p(s)$, whose theory appears to be more involved than that of its counterpart $\zeta_p(s)$, owing to the fact that its defining series is not of Dirichlet type. We derive formulas…

Let $f(x) \in K(x)$ be a quadratic polynomial where $K$ is a field of characteristic not equal to $2$. The associated arboreal Galois representation of the absolute Galois group of $K$ acts on a regular rooted binary tree. Boston and Jones…

In this paper, we establish joint extreme values of Dirichlet (L)-functions and their logarithmic derivatives using the resonance method. Our results extend previous work of Aistleitner et al. (2019) and Yang (2023).

Let $p$ be a prime, let $q=p^n$, and let $D\subseteq \mathbb{F}_q^\ast$. A celebrated result of Carlitz and McConnel states that if $D$ is a proper subgroup of $\mathbb{F}_q^\ast$, and $f:\mathbb{F}_q\to\mathbb{F}_q$ is a function such that…

We extend the work of Feng--Yun--Zhang relating the arithmetic volume of Shtukas with derivatives of zeta functions by allowing arbitrary coweights for split semisimple algebraic groups. As in their original work, the formula involves some…

We study multiplicative dependence of points in semigroup orbits in higher dimensions. More specifically, we show that the non-density of integral points in semigroup orbits implies sparsity of multiplicative dependence in orbits. This can…

In this paper, we introduce the concepts of the $u$-bracket, finite multiple harmonic $u$-series, and $u$-multiple zeta values via the Carlitz module. These objects serve as function field counterparts to the classical theory of…

We continue our investigations of bilinear sums with modular square roots and the large sieve for square moduli in our recent article "On bilinear sums with modular square roots and applications II", arXiv:2603.00768. In the present…
