We present some congruences modulo $p^{6-d}$ for sums of the type $\sum_{k=0}^{(p-3)/2}x^k{2k\choose k}/(2k+1)^d$, for $d=1,2,3$ where $p>5$ is a prime.

Motivated by the study of an Hecke action on iterated Shimura integrals undertaken in [H], in this appendix to [H] we prove that, for any prime $p \geq 5$ and for any integer $n \geq 1$, every complex irreducible representation of…

We generalize current known distribution results on Shanks--R\'enyi prime number races to the case where arbitrarily many residue classes are involved. Our method handles both the classical case that goes back to Chebyshev and function…

We consider the periods of the linear congruential and the power generators modulo $n$ and, for fixed choices of initial parameters, give lower bounds that hold for ``most'' $n$ when $n$ ranges over three different sets: the set of primes,…

For a prime number $p$, let $A_3(p)= | \{ m \in \mathbb{N}: \exists m_1,m_2,m_3 \in \mathbb{N}, \frac{m}{p}=\frac{1}{m_1}+\frac{1}{m_2}+\frac{1}{m_3} \} |$. In 2019 Luca and Pappalardi proved that $x (\log x)^3 \ll \sum_{p \le x} A_{3}(p)…

We prove that for a positive integer $k$ the primes in certain kinds of intervals can not distribute too 'uniformly' among the reduced residue classes modulo $k$. Hereby, we prove a generalization of a conjecture of Recaman and establish…

Let $a$, $b$, $c$ be distinct primes with $a<b$. Let $S(a,b,c)$ denote the number of positive integer solutions $(x,y,z)$ of the equation $a^x + b^y = c^z$. In a previous paper \cite{LeSt} it was shown that if $(a,b,c)$ is a triple of…

We investigate certain finiteness questions that arise naturally when studying approximations modulo prime powers of p-adic Galois representations coming from modular forms. We link these finiteness statements with a question by K. Buzzard…

We prove results that imply, under various hypotheses, that every elliptic curve over a number field $k$ corresponding to a point on a modular curve has bad reduction at a certain prime $p$ of $\mathcal{O}_k$. For example, every elliptic…

We establish Bernstein-centre type of results for the category of mod $p$ representations of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)$. We treat all the remaining open cases, which occur when $p$ is $2$ or $3$. Our arguments carry over for all primes…

The behaviour of Hecke polynomials modulo p has been the subject of some study. In this note we show that, if p is a prime, the set of integers N such that the Hecke polynomials T^{N,\chi}_{l,k} for all primes l, all weights k>1 and all…

Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we prove the latest explicit version of the prime number theorem for short intervals. Using this result, and assuming the generalised Riemann hypothesis for Dirichlet $L$-functions is true, we then establish…

Fix a prime $p \ge 5$ and define $g(2n,p)=\#\{(h,k)\in\mathbb{Z}_{>0}^2 : h+k=2n,\; h\le k,\; \gcd(h,6p)=\gcd(k,6p)=1\}$. We derive explicit closed-form expressions for $g(2n,p)$ in terms of the canonical remainder operator…

It is shown that if every odd integer $n > 5$ is the sum of three primes, then every even integer $n > 2$ is the sum of two primes. A conditional proof of Goldbach's conjecture, based on Cram\'er's conjecture, is presented. Theoretical and…

We define a new congruence relation on the set of integers, leading to a group similar to the multiplicative group of integers modulo $n$. It makes use of a symmetry almost omnipresent in modular multiplications and halves the number of…

Let $p$ be a prime, and let $k,n,m,n_0$ and $m_0$ be nonnegative integers such that $k\ge 1$, and $_0$ and $m_0$ are both less than $p$. K. Davis and W. Webb established that for a prime $p\ge 5$ the following variation of Lucas' Theorem…

We compute all primes up to $6.25\times 10^{28}$ of the form $m^2+1$. Calculations using this list verify, up to our bound, a less famous conjecture of Goldbach. We introduce `Goldbach champions' as part of the verification process and…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. For each integer $a$ with $p\nmid a$, the famous Zolotarev's Lemma says that the Legendre symbol $(\frac{a}{p})$ is the sign of the permutation of $\Z/p\Z$ induced by multiplication by $a$. The extension of…

Let N and p be two prime numbers > 3 such that p divides N-1. We estimate the p-rank of the class group of Q(N^(1/p)) in terms of the discrete logarithm, with values un F_p, of certain units. Using the Gross--Koblitz formula and identities…

In this paper we investigate some new problems in additive combinatorics. Our problems mainly involve permutations (or circular permutations) $n$ distinct numbers (or elements of an additive abelian group) $a_1,\ldots,a_n$ with adjacent…
