By extracting coefficients from Wilf-Zeilberger pairs with respect to auxiliary parameters, we discover many nontrivial hypergeometric series involving harmonic numbers. In particular, we obtain a rapidly convergent series for the depth-two…
In 2015 Zhi-Wei Sun proposed the conjecture that any integer $n > 1$ admits a partition $n = x + y$ with integers $x, y >0$ such that $x + ny$ and $x^2 + ny^2$ are simultaneously prime. To approach this conjecture we use the method of…
In this paper, we study multiple Eisenstein series, which build a natural bridge between the theory of multiple zeta values and modular forms. We prove a large family of relations among these series and propose an explicit conjectural…
The concept of approximation gain was introduced recently by M\"uller and Taktikos for some abc-triples related to convergents of surds, where there is a relatively large gap between min{a,b,c} and max{a,b,c}. This note proposes a…
In this paper, we investigate bi-periodic Padovan and bi-periodic Perrin quaternions over the quaternion algebra Q_Zp. We introduce the bi-periodic Perrin sequence and clarify its structural relationship with the bi-periodic Padovan…
Answering affirmatively a 2007 problem of Chen, the first author proved that there is a unique representation basis $A$ of $\mathbb{Z}$ and a constant $c>0$ such that $$ A(-x,x)\ge c\sqrt{x} $$ for infinitely many positive integers $x$,…
For the $n$th cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_n$, let $A(n)$ denote the greatest absolute value of its coefficients, its height, and let $D(n)$ denote the difference between its largest and smallest coefficients, its diameter. We show that for…
Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p})$ be a quadratic field for an odd prime $p$. We show that there exist infinitely many primes $p$ for which no elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ has torsion subgroup $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\times…
In this paper, we study the Newton polygons and Ekedahl-Oort types of reductions of abelian covers of the projective line branched at three points modulo a prime. We study the natural density of primes where these covers give supersingular…
We provide a new version of the Wiener-Ikehara theorem where one deduces bounds $$ 0< \liminf_{x\to\infty} \frac{S(x)}{e^{x}}\leq \limsup_{x\to\infty} \frac{S(x)}{e^{x}} <\infty $$ for (in particular) a non-decreasing function $S$ from a…
We study whether several consecutive prime gaps can all be relatively large at the same time, or is it possible that all are squares or perfect powers, or perhaps none of them are squares? A few related results and problems are also…
Our work is motivated by the fact that the norms of the Eulerian integers are related to the sums of form $a^2-ab+b^2$, providing a natural generalization for problems concerning products over sums or differences of integers. Let $E$ be the…
Using rigorous high-precision floating point arithmetic we compute very tight rigorous bounds on the auto-convolution constant \[ \nu_2^2 = \inf_f \|f \ast f\|_2^2 = \inf_f \int_{-1}^1 (f \ast f)^2 \] where the infimum is taken over all…
Gosper developed an algorithm for performing arithmetic on continued fractions (CFs), and introduced continued logarithms (CLs) as a variant of continued fractions better suited to representing extremely large (or small) numbers. CLs are…
We establish quantitative strengthenings of Mazur's conjecture regarding the non-torsion property of higher Heegner points on modular and Shimura curves, confirming both a vertical version for sufficiently large powers $n$ and a horizontal…
We represent the Riemann zeta function in the half-plane $\Re s >1$ via series whose terms admit geometrically decreasing bounds. Due to an underlying recurrence relation, which is used to compute coefficients entering into the terms, the…
We provide an explicit classification of supersingular elliptic curves in characteristic~3 into isomorphism classes, and give explicit formulae for their point counts. This report was written specifically to support implementation of point…
In this paper, let $f$ be a Hecke cusp form for $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$. We establish an asymptotic formula for the mixed moment of $\zeta^{2}(s)$ and $L(s,f)$ on the critical line, valid for both holomorphic and Maass forms.
Given a number field $k$ with the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_k$ and a matrix $M\in \mathrm{M}_{n}(\mathcal{O}_k)$. We prove that if $\mathcal{O}_k$ is a principal ideal domain, the local-global principle for triangularizability and…
We explore a method, going back to Landau and developed by Pintz, for connecting sums of arithmetic functions with zero-free regions for $L$-functions. In particular, we make explicit a general result of Pintz of this form; showing how one…
