We obtain (conditional and unconditional) results on large values of $L$-functions $L(s,\chi)$ in the critical strip $1/2 \leq \Re s \leq 1$ when the character $\chi$ runs through a thin subgroup of all characters modulo an integer $q$.…

To date, the best methods for estimating the growth of mean values of arithmetic functions rely on the Vorono\"{\i} summation formula. By noticing a general pattern in the proof of his summation formula, Vorono\"{\i} postulated that…

Recently, Allen et al. developed the Explicit Hypergeometric Modularity Method (EHMM) that establishes the modularity of a large class of hypergeometric Galois representations in dimensions two and three. Motivated by this framework, we…

We obtain explicit estimates for the mixed character sum $S= S(\chi,g,f,p^m) = \sum_{x=1}^{p^m} \chi (g(x)) e_{p^m}(f(x))$, where $p^m$ is a prime power, $\chi$ is a multiplicative character mod $p^m$ and $f,g$ are rational functions over…

In this paper, we prove a conjecture by Daniele Mundici on the sum of squared distances between consecutive elements in the $Q$-th Farey sequence for $Q\in\mathbb{Z}$ and $Q\geq 2$.

Alladi's duality identities (1977) provide a fundamental relation between the smallest and the $k$-th largest prime factors of integers. In this paper, we establish these dualities in the setting of global function fields, extending a…

Golomb's sequence is the unique nondecreasing sequence of positive integers in which each $n$ appears exactly $a(n)$ times. It satisfies the global self-referential rule \[ a\bigl(a(n)+a(n-1)+\cdots+a(1)\bigr)=n, \] grows smoothly like a…

Let $H_k = 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + \cdots + 1/k$ denote the $k$th harmonic number. We present an easy-to-implement algorithm for the computation of explicit closed-form evaluations, in terms of the digamma and polygamma functions, for Euler sums of…

In this paper we study restricted overpartitions and concave compositions. In several cases the resulting generating functions involve simultaneously modular forms, mock theta functions, mock Maass theta functions, and false theta…

We study the polynomials $x^n + (1-x)^n + a^n, a \in\mathbb{Q}$, whose rational roots would yield counterexamples to Fermat's Last Theorem. We investigate their factorization over $\mathbb{Q}$. In the case $a \notin \{0, \pm 1\}$, we ask…

Perfectoid spaces have become a crucial tool in $p$-adic geometry, serving as a bridge between adic spaces in characteristic $0$ and those in characteristic $p$. In this article, we develop a systematic way to study the structure of…

For an $S$-valued function $f$ of $m \geq 1$ variables we consider the dynamical process in which the output $f(\overline{v})$ replaces exactly one entry of the input $\overline{v} \in S^m$ at each step. This can be viewed as a special case…

We propose a geometric framework to produce a formula relating higher period integrals to higher central derivatives of $L$-functions over function fields, extending the framework of relative Langlands duality \`a la…

Let $t(N)$ denote the largest number such that $N!$ can be expressed as the product of $N$ integers greater than or equal to $t(N)$. The bound $t(N)/N = 1/e-o(1)$ was apparently established in unpublished work of Erd\H{o}s, Selfridge, and…

In this article, we study $(\sigma, \tau)$-derivations of number rings by considering them as commutative unital $\mathbb{Z}$-algebras. We begin by characterizing all $(\sigma, \tau)$-derivations and inner $(\sigma, \tau)$-derivations of…

Counting number fields with prescribed Galois group is an enduring challenge in arithmetic statistics. Using the determinant method, we provide an upper bound for even groups, which is new in some cases.

In 1977 Montgomery and Vaughan gave tight bounds for exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)e(n\alpha)$ where $f$ is a $1$-bounded multiplicative function and $\alpha\in\mathbb R$, close to the conjectured $\ll \frac{x}{\sqrt{q}}+…

We prove asymptotics for the average error term in Bateman-Horn's conjecture in the exponential range.

Andrews and the third author recently studied congruences for certain restricted two-color partitions. They made two conjectures for Ramanujan-type congruences and a vanishing identity for the limiting sequence. In this paper, we settle…

We determine the asymptotic growth of extensions of local function fields of characteristic p counted by discriminant, where the Galois group is a subgroup of the affine group AGL_1(p). More general, we solve the corresponding counting…
