In a spirit of Ap\'ery's proof of the irrationality of $\zeta(3)$, we construct a sequence $p_n/q_n$ of rational approximations to the $2$-adic zeta value $\zeta_2(5)$ which satisfy $0 < |\zeta_2(5)-p_n/q_n|_2 <…

We announce a number of conjectures associated with and arising from a study of primes and irrationals in $\mathbb{R}$. All are supported by numerical verification to the extent possible.

In 2013, Strauch asked how various sequences of real numbers defined from trigonometric functions such as $x_n=(\cos n)^n$ distributed themselves$\pmod 1$. Strauch's inquiry is motivated by several such distribution results. For instance,…

For a given decreasing positive real function $\psi$, let $\mathcal{A}_n(\psi)$ be the set of real numbers for which there are infinitely many integer polynomials $P$ of degree up to $n$ such that $\left\lvert P(x) \right\rvert \leq…

In this paper, we establish new irrationality criteria for certain sparse power series. As applications of these criteria, we generalize a result of Erd\H{o}s and obtain several irrationality results for various infinite series involving…

Mossinghoff, Trudgian, and the first author~\cite{MMT23} recently introduced a family of arithmetic functions called ``fake $\mu$'s'', which are multiplicative functions for which there is a $\{-1,0,1\}$-valued sequence…

A reasonably complete theory of the approximation of an irrational by rational fractions whose numerators and denominators lie in prescribed arithmetic progressions is developed in this paper. Results are both, on the one hand, from a…

Let $\xi$ be a real number and $b \ge 2$ an integer. We study the relationship between the irrationality exponent of $\xi$ and the subword complexity $p(n, \mathbf{x})$ of the $b$-ary expansion $\mathbf{x}$ of $\xi$, where $p(n,…

Let $\lfloor t\rfloor$ denote the integer part of $t\in\mathbb{R}$ and $\|x\|$ the distance from $x$ to the nearest integer. Suppose that $1/2<\gamma_2<\gamma_1<1$ are two fixed constants. In this paper, it is proved that, whenever $\alpha$…

Using the Thue-Siegel method, we obtain effective improvements on Liouville's irrationality measure for certain one-parameter families of algebraic numbers, defined by equations of the type $(t-a)Q(t)+P(t)=0$. We apply these to some…

A folklore proof of Euclid's theorem on the infinitude of primes uses the Euler product and the irrationality of $\zeta(2) = \pi^2/6$. A quantified form of Euclid's Theorem is Bertrand's postulate $p_{n+1} < 2p_n$. By quantifying the…

Incompatible, i.e. non-jointly measurable quantum measurements are a necessary resource for many information processing tasks. It is known that increasing the number of distinct measurements usually enhances the incompatibility of a…

We investigate reciprocals of false theta functions, producing results such as congruences, simple asymptotic bounds, and combinatorial identities. Of particular interest is a connection between $1/\Psi(-q^2,q)$ and the truncated pentagonal…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $\xi$ an irrational $p$-adic number. Its irrationality exponent $\mu (\xi)$ is the supremum of the real numbers $\mu$ for which the system of inequalities $$ 0 < \max\{|x|, |y|\} \le X, \quad |y \xi - x|_{p}…

We consider integer sequences that satisfy a recursion of the form $x_{n+1} = P(x_n)$ for some polynomial $P$ of degree $d > 1$. If such a sequence tends to infinity, then it satisfies an asymptotic formula of the form $x_n \sim A…

We prove that for every irrational number $\alpha$, real number $\beta$, real number $c$ satisfying $1<c<9/8$ and positive real number $\theta$ satisfying $\theta<(9/c-8)/10$, there exist infinitely many primes of the form…

Let $\{a_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, $\{b_n\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ be two infinite subsets of positive integers and $\psi:\mathbb{N}\to \mathbb{R}_{>0}$ be a positive function. We completely determine the Hausdorff dimensions of the set of all…

It is known that the numbers which occur in Apery's proof of the irrationality of zeta(2) have many interesting congruence properties while the associated generating function satisfies a second order differential equation. We prove…

Based on the structure of Fibonacci sequence, we give a new proof for the irrationality exponents of the Fibonacci real numbers. Moreover, we obtain all the irrationality exponents of the real numbers corresponding to the differences of…

We discuss the use of matrices for providing sequences of rationals that approximate algebraic irrationalities. In particular, we study the regular representation of algebraic extensions, proving that ratios between two entries of the…
