On the arithmetic of two constructions of Salem numbers.
Here we characterise, in a complete and explicit way, the relations of algebraic dependence over of complex values of Hecke-Mahler series taken at algebraic points of the multiplicative group , under a technical hypothesis that a certain sub-module of generated by the ’s has rank one (rank one hypothesis). This is the first part of a work, announced in [Pel1], whose main objective is completely to solve a general problem on the algebraic independence of values of these series.
In this paper, we define the arrowhead-Fibonacci numbers by using the arrowhead matrix of the characteristic polynomial of the k-step Fibonacci sequence and then we give some of their properties. Also, we study the arrowhead-Fibonacci sequence modulo m and we obtain the cyclic groups from the generating matrix of the arrowhead-Fibonacci numbers when read modulo m. Then we derive the relationships between the orders of the cyclic groups obtained and the periods of the arrowhead-Fibonacci sequence...
A certain generalized divisor function is studied which counts the number of factorizations of a natural number into integer powers with prescribed exponents under certain congruence restrictions. An -estimate is established for the remainder term in the asymptotic for its Dirichlet summatory function.
The investigation of certain counting functions of elements with given factorization properties in the ring of integers of an algebraic number field gives rise to combinatorial problems in the class group. In this paper a constant arising from the investigation of the number of algebraic integers with factorizations of at most k different lengths is investigated. It is shown that this constant is positive if k is greater than 1 and that it is also positive if k equals 1 and the class group satisfies...
The investigation of the counting function of the set of integral elements, in an algebraic number field, with factorizations of at most k different lengths gives rise to a combinatorial constant depending only on the class group of the number field and the integer k. In this paper the value of these constants, in case the class group is an elementary p-group, is estimated, and determined under additional conditions. In particular, it is proved that for elementary 2-groups these constants are equivalent...
This work was presented in part at the 8th International Conference on Finite Fields and Applications Fq^8 , Melbourne, Australia, 9-13 July, 2007.In this paper, we study the ratio θ(n) = λ2 (n) / ψ2 (n), where λ2 (n) is the number of primitive polynomials and ψ2 (n) is the number of irreducible polynomials in GF (2)[x] of degree n. Let n = ∏ pi^ri, i=1,..l be the prime factorization of n. We show that, for fixed l and ri , θ(n) is close to 1 and θ(2n) is not less than 2/3 for sufficiently large...
We investigate the average behavior of the th normalized Fourier coefficients of the th ( be any fixed integer) symmetric power -function (i.e., ), attached to a primitive holomorphic cusp form of weight for the full modular group over certain sequences of positive integers. Precisely, we prove an asymptotic formula with an error term for the sum where is sufficiently large, and When , the error term which we obtain improves the earlier known result.
