A square is a word of the form $xx$ for a non-empty word $x$. Brlek and Li [Comb. Theory, 2025] proved that the number of distinct squares in a word $w$ of length $n$ is at most $n - \sigma$, where $\sigma$ is the number of letters used in…

In 2010, B. Rhoades proved that promotion together with the fake-degree polynomial associated with rectangular standard Young tableaux give an instance of the cyclic sieving phenomenon. We extend this result to all skew standard Young…

We present pseudo-potential coefficients for the first two rows of the periodic table. The pseudo potential is of a novel analytic form, that gives optimal efficiency in numerical calculations using plane waves as basis set. At most 7…

We give an asymptotic for the number of prime solutions to $Q(x_1,\dots, x_8) = N$, subject to a mild non-degeneracy condition on the homogeneous quadratic form $Q$. The argument initially proceeds via the circle method, but this does not…

We obtain new bounds on complete rational exponential sums with sparse polynomials modulo a prime, under some mild conditions on the degrees of the monomials of such polynomials. These bounds, when they apply, give explicit versions of a…

The proliferation of probable prime tests in recent years has produced a plethora of definitions with the word ``pseudoprime'' in them. Examples include pseudoprimes, Euler pseudoprimes, strong pseudoprimes, Lucas pseudoprimes, strong Lucas…

A space $X$ is called {\it selectively pseudocompact} if for each sequence $(U_{n})_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ of pairwise disjoint nonempty open subsets of $X$ there is a sequence $(x_{n})_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ of points in $X$ such that $cl_X(\{x_n…

In this paper, we propose a weak version of quotient for the algebraic action of a group on a variety, which we shall call a pseudo-quotient. They arise when we focus on the purely topological properties of good GIT quotients regardless of…

We prove a uniform estimate for sums of Hecke--Maass eigenvalues squared over primes in short intervals that can be regarded as an analogue of Hoheisel's classical prime number theorem for all real analytic cusp forms. Our argument is…

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…

Neutrices are additive subgroups of a nonstandard model of the real numbers. An external number is the algebraic sum of a nonstandard real number and a neutrix. Due to the stability by some shifts, external numbers may be seen as…

In the ElGamal signature and encryption schemes, an element $x$ of the underlying group $G = \mathbb{Z}_p^\times = \{1, \ldots, p-1 \}$ for a prime $p$ is also considered as an exponent, for example in $g^x$, where $g$ is a generator of G.…

We bound the Pythagoras number of a real projective subvariety: the smallest positive integer $r$ such that every sum of squares of linear forms in its homogeneous coordinate ring is a sum of at most $r$ squares. Enhancing existing methods,…

The equality between the number of odd spin structures on a Riemann surface of genus g, with $2^g - 1$ being a Mersenne prime, and the even perfect numbers, is an indication that the action of the modular group on the set of spin structures…

A theorem proved by Quillen and by Catlin and D'Angelo states that a bi-homogeneous form on a multidimensional complex space which is positive away from zero can be written as a sum of squares of absolute values of polynomials once it is…

The set of short intervals between consecutive primes squared has the pleasant---but seemingly unexploited---property that each interval $s_k:=\{p_k^2, \dots,p_{k+1}^2-1\}$ is fully sieved by the $k$ first primes. Here we take advantage of…

We initiate the systematic study of loop conditions of arbitrary finite width. Each loop condition is a finite set of identities of a particular shape, and satisfaction of these identities in an algebra is characterized by it forcing a…

Let $t \in \mathbb{N}$, $\eta >0$. Suppose that $x$ is a sufficiently large real number and $q$ is a natural number with $q \leq x^{5/12-\eta}$, $q$ not a multiple of the conductor of the exceptional character $\chi^*$ (if it exists).…

We present a framework which allows a uniform approach to the recently introduced concept of pseudo-repetitions on words in the morphic case. This framework is at the same time more general and simpler. We introduce the concept of a…

We analyse the representation of positive polynomials in terms of Sums of Squares. We provide a quantitative version of Putinar's Positivstellensatz over a compact basic semialgebraic set S, with a new polynomial bound on the degree of the…
