We obtain using exponential quadratic sums, explicit expressions for the number of triple persymmetric matrices over F_2 of given rank. (A matrix [a(i,j)] is persymmetric if a(i,j) = a(r,s) for i+j = r+s)
We obtain, using exponential quadratic sums, explicit expressions for the number of double persymmetric matrices with entries in F_2 of given rank. (A matix [a(i,j)) is persymmetric if a(i,j) = a(r,s) for i+j = r+s)
Over the finite field with two elements, we present a method for obtaining explicit expressions for the number of rank i matrices of the form A above B, where A is persymmetric (A matrix [a(i,j)] is persymmetric if a(i,j) = a(r,s) for i+j = r+s).
We establish bounds of triple exponential sums with mixed exponential and linear function. The method we use is by Shparlinski together with a bound of additive energy from Roche-Newton, Rudnev and Shkredov.
Inspired by the recent work of El Bachraoui, we present some new $q$-supercongruences on triple and quadruple sums of basic hypergeometric series. In particular, we give a $q$-supercongruence modulo the fifth power of a cyclotomic polynomial, which is a $q$-analogue of the quadruple sum of Van Hamme's supercongruence (G.2).
We obtain the triple correlations for a truncated divisor sum related to primes. We also obtain the mixed correlations for this divisor sum when it is summed over the primes, and give some applications to primes in short intervals.
In this work we provide a meromorphic continuation in three complex variables of two types of triple shifted convolution sums of Fourier coefficients of holomorphic cusp forms. The foundations of this construction are based in the continuation of the spectral expansion of a special truncated Poincaré series recently developed by Jeffrey Hoffstein. As a result we are able to produce previously unstudied and nontrivial asymptotics of truncated shifted sums which we expect to correspond to off-diagonal terms in the third moment of automorphic L-functions.
Let $τ_3(n)$ be the triple divisor function which is the number of solutions of the equation $d_1d_2d_3=n$ in natural numbers. It is shown that $$ \sum_{1\leq n_1,n_2,n_3\leq \sqrt{x}}τ_3(n_1^2+n_2^2+n_3^2)=c_1x^{\frac{3}{2}}(\log x)^2+ c_2x^{\frac{3}{2}}\log x +c_3x^{\frac{3}{2}} +O_{\varepsilon}(x^{\frac{11}{8}+\varepsilon}) $$ for some constants $c_1$, $c_2$ and $c_3$.
In this paper, we study the alternating Euler $T$-sums and $§$-sums, which are infinite series involving (alternating) odd harmonic numbers, and have similar forms and close relations to the Dirichlet beta functions. By using the method of residue computations, we establish the explicit formulas for the (alternating) linear and quadratic Euler $T$-sums and $§$-sums, from which, the parity theorems of Hoffman's double and triple $t$-values and Kaneko-Tsumura's double and triple $T$-values are further obtained. As supplements, we also show that the linear $T$-sums and $§$-sums are expressible in…
We prove that a certain family of sums of products of three binomials has alternating behavior modulo a prime $p$. To accomplish this we rewrite these sums as signed sums of products of three binomials, the better to handle $p$, and we give closed-form expressions for two related sums of signed products of three binomials.
In this paper, we investigate a number of $q$-supercongruences on double and triple sums. By means of a lemma devised by El Bachraoui and its generalization, we transform some $q$-supercongruences on double and triple sums into the $q$-supercongruences of the square and cube of truncated basic hypergeometric series.Our main tools still involve the `creative microscoping' method introduced by Guo and Zudilin, a lemma designed by Guo and Li and the Chinese remainder theorem.
We give a new bound on the number of collinear triples for two arbitrary subsets of a finite field. This improves on existing results which rely on the Cauchy inequality. We then us this to provide a new bound on trilinear and quadrilinear exponential sums.
The explicit formulas for the sums of positive powers of the integers $s_i$ unrepresentable by the triple of integers $d_1,d_2,d_3\in {\mathbb N}, \gcd(d_1,d_2,d_3)=1$, are derived.
In this paper, we study the average size of the product of a number and its multiplicative inverse modulo a prime p. This turns out to be related to moments of L-functions and leads to a curious asymptotic formula for a certain triple exponential sum.
For any integer $x$, let $T_x$ denote the triangular number $\frac{x(x+1)}{2}$. In this paper we give a complete characterization of all the triples of positive integers $(α, β, γ)$ for which the ternary sums $αx^2 +βT_y + γT_z$ represent all but finitely many positive integers. This resolves a conjecture of Kane and Sun \cite[Conjecture 1.19(i)]{KS08} and complete the characterization of all almost universal ternary mixed sums of squares and triangular numbers.
The pentagonal numbers are the integers given by $p_5(n)=n(3n-1)/2\ (n=0,1,2,\ldots)$. Let $(b,c,d)$ be one of the triples $(1,1,2),(1,2,3),(1,2,6)$ and $(2,3,4)$. We show that each $n=0,1,2,\ldots$ can be written as $w+bx+cy+dz$ with $w,x,y,z$ pentagonal numbers, which was first conjectured by Z.-W. Sun in 2016. In particular, any nonnegative integer is a sum of five pentagonal numbers two of which are equal; this refines a classical result of Cauchy claimed by Fermat.
We show that the eighth power of the Jacobi triple product is a Jacobi--Eisenstein series of weight $4$ and index $4$ and we calculate its Fourier coefficients. As applications we obtain explicit formulas for the eighth powers of theta-constants of arbitrary order and the Fourier coefficients of the Ramanujan Delta-function $Δ(τ)=η^{24}(τ)$, $η^{12}(τ)$ and $η^{8}(τ)$ in terms of Cohen's numbers $H(3,N)$ and $H(5,N)$. We give new formulas for the number of representations of integers as sums of eight higher figurate numbers. We also calculate the sixteenth and the twenty-fourth powers of the J…
We obtain a new bound on certain double sums of multiplicative characters improving the range of several previous results. This improvement comes from new bounds on the number of collinear triples in finite fields, which is a classical object of study of additive combinatorics.
We give a family of congruences for the binomial coefficients ${kp-1\choose p-1}$ in terms of multiple harmonic sums, a generalization of the harmonic numbers. Each congruence in this family (which depends on an additional parameter $n$) involves a linear combination of $n$ multiple harmonic sums, and holds $\mod{p^{2n+3}}$. The coefficients in these congruences are integers depending on $n$ and $k$, but independent of $p$. More generally, we construct a family of congruences for ${kp-1\choose p-1} \mod{p^{2n+3}}$, whose members contain a variable number of terms, and show that in this family …
We prove, for a sufficiently small subset $\mathcal{A}$ of a prime residue field, an estimate on the number of solutions to the equation $(a_1-a_2)(a_3-a_4) = (a_5-a_6)(a_7-a_8)$ with all variables in $\mathcal{A}$. We then derive new bounds on trilinear exponential sums and on the total number of residues equaling the product of two differences of elements of $\mathcal{A}$. We also prove a refined estimate on the number of collinear triples in a Cartesian product of multiplicative subgroups and derive stronger bounds for trilinear sums with all variables in multiplicative subgroups.
For $m=3,4,\ldots$, the polygonal numbers of order $m$ are given by $p_m(n)=(m-2)\binom n2+n\ (n=0,1,2,\ldots)$. For positive integers $a,b,c$ and $i,j,k\ge3$ with $\max\{i,j,k\}\ge5$, we call the triple $(ap_i,bp_j,cp_k)$ universal if for any $n=0,1,2,\ldots$ there are nonnegative integers $x,y,z$ such that $n=ap_i(x)+bp_j(y)+cp_k(z)$. We show that there are only 95 candidates for universal triples (two of which are $(p_4,p_5,p_6)$ and $(p_3,p_4,p_{27})$), and conjecture that they are indeed universal triples. For many triples $(ap_i,bp_j,cp_k)$ (including $(p_3,4p_4,p_5),(p_4,p_5,p_6)$ and $…
We study the variance of sums of the indicator function of square-full polynomials in both arithmetic progressions and short intervals. Our work is in the context of the ring $F_{q}[T]$ of polynomials over a finite field $F_{q}$ of $q$ elements, in the limit $q\rightarrow\infty$. We use a recent equidistribution result due to N. Katz to express these variances in terms of triple matrix integrals over the unitary group, and evaluate them.
We calculate the triple correlations for the truncated divisor sum $λ_{R}(n)$. The $λ_{R}(n)$'s behave over certain averages just as the prime counting von Mangoldt function $Λ(n)$ does or is conjectured to do. We also calculate the mixed (with a factor of $Λ(n)$) correlations. The results for the moments up to the third degree, and therefore the implications for the distribution of primes in short intervals, are the same as those we obtained (in the first paper with this title) by using the simpler approximation $Λ_{R}(n)$. However, when $λ_{R}(n)$ is used the error in the singular series app…
A general method to express in terms of Gauss sums the number of rational points of subschemes of projective schemes over finite fields is applied to the image of the triple embedding $\mathbb{P}^1\hookrightarrow\mathbb{P}^3$. As a consequence, we obtain a non-trivial description of the value of a Kloosterman-sum-like exponential sum.
Let $r\geq 1$ be a positive integer, $A$ a real positive semi-definite symmetric $r\times r$ rational matrix, $B$ a rational vector of length $r$, and $C$ a rational scalar. Nahm's problem is to find all triples $(A,B,C)$ such that the $r$-fold $q$-hypergeometric series $$f_{A,B,C}(q):=\sum_{n=(n_1,\dots,n_r)^\mathrm{T}\in (\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0})^r} \frac{q^{\frac{1}{2}n^\mathrm{T} An+n^\mathrm{T} B+C}}{(q;q)_{n_1}\cdots (q;q)_{n_r}}$$ becomes a modular form, and we call such $(A,B,C)$ a modular triple. When the rank $r=3$, after extensive computer searches, Zagier provided twelve sets of conjec…
