Soient $P\left(\underset{\_}{x}\right)=P(x_1,...,x_n)$ et $Q\left(\underset{\_}{x}\right)=Q(x_1,...,x_n)$ deux polynômes à coefficients positifs vérifiant :$$\underset{\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{\left|\underset{\_}{x}\right|\to +\infty }{x_1,...,x_n\ge 1}}{lim}\frac{P\left(\underset{\_}{x}\right)}{Q\left(\underset{\_}{x}\right)}=+\infty .$$Soient $\underset{\_}{\eta }=({\eta }_1,...,{\eta }_n)\in {\mathbf{N}}^n$ et $R=P/Q$. On étudie la série de Dirichlet $Z(R,\underset{\_}{\eta };s)={\sum }_{{\eta }_1,...,{\eta }_n=1}^{\infty }{\underset{\_}{\eta }}^{\underset{\_}{\eta }}R(\underset{\_}{\eta }{)}^{-s}$ : abscisse de convergence absolue, existence et nature du prolongement méromorphe, ordre de grandeur dans les bandes verticales. On donne un procédé de construction du prolongement méromorphe de la fonction $s\mapsto Z(R,\underset{\_}{\eta };s)$ qui ne dépend que de $\underset{\_}{\eta }$ et de certains monômes de $P$ et $Q$: les monômes extrémaux.

Nous montrons dans la première partie l’existence d’un prolongement méromorphe à tout le plan complexe$ℂ$ et explicitons les propriétés et quelques conséquences, d’une large classe de séries zêta des hauteurs associées à l’espace projectif ${\mathbb{P}}_n\left(\mathbb{Q}\right)$$(n\ge 1...$

Let p̅(n) denote the number of overpartitions of n. It was conjectured by Hirschhorn and Sellers that p̅(40n+35) ≡ 0 (mod 40) for n ≥ 0. Employing 2-dissection formulas of theta functions due to Ramanujan, and Hirschhorn and Sellers, we obtain a generating function for p̅(40n+35) modulo 5. Using the (p, k)-parametrization of theta functions given by Alaca, Alaca and Williams, we prove the congruence p̅(40n+35) ≡ 0 (mod 5) for n ≥ 0. Combining this congruence and the congruence p̅(4n+3) ≡ 0 (mod...

We consider Weil sums of binomials of the form $W_{F,d}\left(a\right)={\sum }_{x\in F}\psi (x^d-ax)$, where F is a finite field, ψ: F → ℂ is the canonical additive character, $gcd(d,|F^{\times }\left|\right)=1$, and $a\in F^{\times }$. If we fix F and d, and examine the values of $W_{F,d}\left(a\right)$ as a runs through $F^{\times }$, we always obtain at least three distinct values unless d is degenerate (a power of the characteristic of F modulo $|F^{\times }|$). Choices of F and d for which we obtain only three values are quite rare and desirable in a wide variety of applications. We show that if F is a field of order 3ⁿ with n odd, and $d=3^r+2$ with...

Let L/K be a 2-birational CM-extension of a totally real 2-rational number field. We characterize in terms of tame ramification totally real 2-extensions K’/K such that the compositum L’=LK’ is still 2-birational. In case the 2-extension K’/K is linearly disjoint from the cyclotomic ℤ₂-extension $K^c/K$, we prove that K’/K is at most quadratic. Furthermore, we construct infinite towers of such 2-extensions.

In this paper we consider proper cycles of indefinite integral quadratic forms $F=(a,b,c)$ with discriminant $\Delta$. We prove that the proper cycles of $F$ can be obtained using their consecutive right neighbors $R^i\left(F\right)$ for $i\ge 0$. We also derive explicit relations in the cycle and proper cycle of $F$ when the length $l$ of the cycle of $F$ is odd, using the transformations $\tau \left(F\right)=(-a,b,-c)$ and $\chi \left(F\right)=(-c,b,-a)$.
