An Egyptian fraction is a sum of the form $1/n_1 + \cdots + 1/n_r$ where $n_1, \dots, n_k$ are distinct positive integers. We prove explicit lower bounds for the cardinality of the set $E_N$ of rational numbers that can be represented by…
Improving upon previous work on the subject, we use Wright's Circle Method to derive an asymptotic formula for the number of parts in all partitions of an integer that are in any given arithmetic progression.
There is a probability charge on the power set of the integers that gives probability $1/p$ to every residue class modulo a prime $p$. There exists such a charge that gives probability $w$ to the set of prime numbers iff $w \in [0,1/2]$.…
The Fermat quotient $q_p(a):=(a^{p-1}-1)/p$, for prime $p\nmid a$, and the Wilson quotient $w_p:=((p-1)!+1)/p$ are integers. If $p\mid w_p,$ then $p$ is a Wilson prime. For odd $p,$ Lerch proved that $(\sum_{a=1}^{p-1} q_p(a) - w_p)/p$ is…
A formula for the class number $h$ of the imaginary quadratic field $Q(\sqrt{-p}$ is obtained by counting on a specific way the quadratic residues of a prime number of the form $p=4n-1.$ Formulas for the sum of the quadratic residues are…
The Ward numbers $W(n,k)$ combinatorially enumerate set partitions with block sizes $\geq 2$ and phylogenetic trees (total partition trees). We prove that $W(n,k)$ also counts \emph{increasing Schr\"oder trees} by verifying they satisfy…
We prove that, for any $n\geq 0$, there exists an uncountable, $n$-dimensional, excellent, regular local ring with countable spectrum.
Let $p/q$ ($p, q \in \mathbb{N}^*$) be a positive rational number such that $p > q^2$. We show that for any $\epsilon > 0$, there exists a set $A(\epsilon) \subset [0, 1[$, with finite border and with Lebesgue measure $< \epsilon$, for…
Let $H_n =\sum\limits_{k=1}^n \frac{1}{k}$ be the $n$-th harmonic number. Euler extended it to complex arguments and defined $H_r$ for any complex number $r$ except for the negative integers. In this paper, we give a new proof of the…
This paper purposes to characterize Noetherian local rings $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ such that the Chern numbers of certain $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideals in $R$ bounded above or range among only finitely many values. Consequently, we characterize…
For certain types of quadratic forms lying in the n-th power of the fundamental ideal, we compute upper bounds and where possible exact values for the minimal number of general n-fold Pfister forms, that are needed to write the Witt class…
We propose constructions of codes over quotient rings of Eisenstein integers equipped with the Euclidean, square Euclidean, and hexagonal distances as a generalization of codes over Eisenstein integer fields. By set partitioning, we…
For w in A_p(RH_r), we determine the precise range of indices so that w in RH_r(A_p), the precise range of q smaller than p for which w in A_q, and the precise range of s bigger than 1 for which w^s in A_p.
On the Waring's problems for matrices over a commutative ring, there are some trace conditions provided for matrices eligibly expressed as a sum of $k$-th powers with $k=2,3,4,5,6,7,8$ in several literatures. In this paper, we provide the…
Hilbert's Tenth Problem over the field $\mathbb Q$ of rational numbers is one of the biggest open problems in the area of undecidability in number theory. In this paper we construct new, computably presentable subrings $R$ of $\mathbb Q$…
Let $f_n(k)$ be the number of subrings of index $k$ in $\mathbb{Z}^n$. We show that results of Brakenhoff imply a lower bound for the asymptotic growth of subrings in $\mathbb{Z}^n$, improving upon lower bounds given by Kaplan, Marcinek,…
Let $G=D_p$ be the dihedral group of order $2p$, where $p$ is an odd prime. Let $k$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. We show that any action of $G$ on the ring $k[[y]]$ can be lifted to an action on $R[[y]]$, where $R$…
In this paper, we give recurrence relations and identities for some integer sequences related to Ward numbers such as Ward-Lah numbers, varied Ward numbers and binomial Ward numbers. Most of the sequences are entered in the On-Line…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ be the ring of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q$, the finite field of $q$ elements, and let $p$ be the characteristic of $\mathbb{F}_q$. We denote $\widetilde{G}_q(k)$ to be the least integer $t_0$ with the property that…
We pose 100 new conjectures on representations involving primes or related things, which might interest number theorists and stimulate further research. Below are five typical examples: (i) For any positive integer $n$, there exists…
