We consider the first order $q$-difference equation \begin{equation}\tag{\dag} f(qz)^n=R(z,f), \end{equation} where $q\not=0,1$ is a constant and $R(z,f)$ is rational in both arguments. When $|q|\not=1$, we show that, if $(\dag)$ has a zero…

In this paper, we focus on a q-analogue of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers, which can be written for s\in\N^* by \zeta_q(s)=\sum_{k\geq 1}q^k\sum_{d|k}d^{s-1}. We give a new lower bound for the dimension of the vector space…

M\"untz's theorem asserts, for example, that the even powers $1, x^2, x^4,\dots$ are dense in $C([0,1])$. We show that the associated expansions are so inefficient as to have no conceivable relevance to any actual computation. For example,…

We prove some properties about the non-zero Taylor series coefficients $a_k$ of the Riemann xi function $\xi(s)$ at $s=\frac{1}{2}$. In particular, we present integral formulas that evaluate $a_k$ whose integrands involve a Gaussian…

We present theoretical and numerical evidence for a random matrix theoretic approach to a conjecture about vanishings of quadratic twists of certain L-functions

We reprove and generalize the result that the intersection cohomology groups of a toric variety with coefficient in a nontrivial rank one local system vanish. We prove a similar vanishing result for a certain class of varieties on which a…

Motivated by recent works of Sun and Tauraso, we prove some variations on the Green-Krammer identity involving central q-binomial coefficients, such as $$ \sum_{k=0}^{n-1}(-1)^kq^{-{k+1\choose 2}}{2k\brack k}_q \equiv (\frac{n}{5})…

For m>n\geq 0 and 1\leq d\leq m, it is shown that the q-Euler number E_{2m}(q) is congruent to q^{m-n}E_{2n}(q) mod (1+q^d) if and only if m\equiv n mod d. The q-Sali\'e number S_{2n}(q) is shown to be divisible by…

Let $\chi$ range over the $(p-1)/2$ even Dirichlet characters modulo a prime $p$ and denote by $\theta (x,\chi)$ the associated theta series. The asymptotic behaviour of the second and fourth moments proved by Louboutin and the author…

We substantially apply the Li criterion for the Riemann hypothesis to hold. Based upon a series representation for the sequence \{\lambda_k\}, which are certain logarithmic derivatives of the Riemann xi function evaluated at unity, we…

We study the entire functions $f(z) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty a_k z^k, a_k>0,$ with non-monotonic second quotients of Taylor coefficients, namely, such that $\frac{a_{2m-1}^2}{a_{2m-2}a_{2m}} = a>1$ and $\frac{a_{2m}^2}{a_{2m-1}a_{2m+1}} = b>1$…

Given $k\in\mathbb N$, we study the vanishing of the Dirichlet series $$D_k(s,f):=\sum_{n\geq1} d_k(n)f(n)n^{-s}$$ at the point $s=1$, where $f$ is a periodic function modulo a prime $p$. We show that if $(k,p-1)=1$ or $(k,p-1)=2$ and…

We consider formal power series defined through the functional q-equation of the q-Lagrange inversion. Under some assumptions, we obtain the asymptotic behavior of the coefficients of these power series. As a by-product, we show that, via…

Lehmer's 1947 conjecture on whether $\tau(n)$ vanishes is still unresolved. In this context, it is natural to consider variants of Lehmer's conjecture. We determine many integers that cannot be values of $\tau(n)$. For example, among the…

The zeroes of Goss polynomials $G_{k, \Lambda}(X)$ for $\Lambda = A \defeq \mathbb{F}_{q}[T]$ and similar lattices $\Lambda$ are studied. Generically, the zero distribution follows a simple pattern governed by the $q$-adic expansion of…

Recently, MacMahon's generalized sum-of-divisor functions were shown to link partitions, quasimodular forms, and q-multiple zeta values. In this paper, we explore many further properties and extensions of these. Firstly, we address a…

We establish some comparison results among the different parameterized Galois theories for $q$-difference equations, completing the work by CHatzidakis, Hardouin and Singer, that addresses the problem in the case without parameters. Our…

Let G=\{G(x),x\in R^1\} be a mean zero Gaussian processes with stationary increments and set \si ^2(|x-y|)= E(G(x)-G(y))^2. Let f be a symmetric function with Ef(\eta)<\ff, where \eta=N(0,1). When \si^2(s) is concave or when \si^2(s)=s^r$,…

Using the relations between rational functions and Eisenstein series, as well as the inferences for cotangent sums and period polynomials, we work out a precise description for Eisenstein series whose $L$-series vanish at certain critical…

Choose $q\in {\mathbb C}$ with 0<|q|<1. The main theme of this paper is the study of linear q-difference equations over the field K of germs of meromorphic functions at 0. It turns out that a difference module M over K induces in a…
