A natural number $n$ is called semi-prime if it is a product of two primes or a square of a prime. We denote $\mathbb{P}_2$ the set of all semi-primes. Our goal is to prove that for fixed integer number $a$ and sufficiently large $x$ the…

By using the $q$-analogue of van der Corput's method we study the divisor function in an arithmetic progression to modulus $q$. We show that the expected asymptotic formula holds for a larger range of $q$ than was previously known, provided…

Given an odd prime $q$, a natural number $l$ and non-zero $q$-free integers $a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{l}$, none of which are equal to $1$ or $-1$, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the polynomial $\prod_{j=1}^{l} (x^{q} -…

A positive integer $n$ is called $\varphi$-practical if the polynomial $X^n-1$ has a divisor in $\mathbb{Z}[X]$ of every degree up to $n$. In this paper, we show that the count of $\varphi$-practical numbers in $[1, x]$ is asymptotic to $C…

If p is a prime and n a positive integer, let v(n) denote the exponent of p in n, and u(n)=n/p^{v(n)} the unit part of n. If k is a positive integer not divisible by p, we show that the p-adic limit of (-1)^{pke} u((kp^e)!) as e goes to…

In symmetric Macdonald polynomial theory the Pieri formula gives the branching coefficients for the product of the rth elementary symmetric function and the Macdonald polynomial. In this paper we give the nonsymmetric analogues for the…

For $x>0$ let $\pi(x)$ denote the number of primes not exceeding $x$. For integers $a$ and $m>0$, we determine when there is an integer $n>1$ with $\pi(n)=(n+a)/m$. In particular, we show that for any integers $m>2$ and $a\le\lceil…

Let E/k(T) be an elliptic curve defined over a rational function field of characteristic zero. Fix a Weierstrass equation for E. For points R in E(k(T)), write x_R=A_R/D_R^2 with relatively prime polynomials A_R(T) and D_R(T) in k[T]. The…

Propositions 1.1 -- 1.3 stated below contribute to results and certain problems considered in a paper by Erdos and Szekeres, on the behavior of products $\prod^n_1 (1-z^{a_j}), 1\leq a_1\leq \cdots\leq a_n$ integers. In the discussion,…

The asymptotic behaviour is studied of exponentially bounded sequences of codimensions of identities of algebras with unity. A series of algebras is constructed for which the base of the exponential increases by exactly one when an outer…

A positive integer $n$ is practical if every $m \leq n$ can be written as a sum of distinct divisors of $n$. One can generalize the concept of practical numbers by applying an arithmetic function $f$ to each of the divisors of $n$ and…

Any power series with unit constant term can be factored into an infinite product of the form $\prod_{n\geq 1} (1-q^n)^{-a_n}$. We give direct formulas for the exponents $a_n$ in terms of the coefficients of the power series, and vice…

We determine, up to multiplicative constants, the number of integers $n\le x$ that have no prime factor $\le w$ and a divisor in $(y,2y]$. Our estimate is uniform in $x,y,w$. We apply this to determine the order of the number of distinct…

We establish an explicit inequality for the number of divisors of an integer $n$. It uses the size of $n$ and its number of distinct prime divisors.

Let C be a general connected, smooth, projective curve of positive genus g. For each nonnegative integer i we give formulas for the number of pairs (P,Q) em C x C off the diagonal such that (g+i-1)Q-(i+1)P is linearly equivalent to an…

A conjecture of Erd\H{o}s states that, for any large prime $q$, every reduced residue class $\pmod q$ can be represented as a product $p_1p_2$ of two primes $p_1,p_2\leq q$. We establish a ternary version of this conjecture, showing that,…

Let $d(n)$ denote the number of divisors of $n$. In this paper, we study the average value of $d(a(p))$, where $p$ is a prime and $a(p)$ is the $p$-th Fourier coefficient of a normalized Hecke eigenform of weight $k \ge 2$ for $\Gamma_0(N)$…

Let $ x\geq 1 $ be a large number, let $ [x]=x-\{x\} $ be the largest integer function, and let $ \sigma(n)$ be the sum of divisors function. This note presents the first proof of the asymptotic formula for the average order $ \sum_{p\leq…

A century ago, P. A. MacMahon introduced two families of generating functions, $$ \sum_{1\leq n_1<n_2<\cdots<n_t}\prod_{k=1}^t\frac{q^{n_k}}{(1-q^{n_k})^2} \quad\text{ and } \sum_{\substack{1\leq n_1<n_2<\cdots<n_t\\…

The $q$-binomial coefficients $\qbinom{n}{m}=\prod_{i=1}^m(1-q^{n-m+i})/(1-q^i)$, for integers $0\le m\le n$, are known to be polynomials with non-negative integer coefficients. This readily follows from the $q$-binomial theorem, or the…
