5-dissections and sign patterns of Ramanujan's parameter and its companion

Shane Chern, Dazhao Tang (2021)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In 1998, Michael Hirschhorn discovered the 5-dissection formulas of the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction R ( q ) and its reciprocal. We obtain the 5-dissections for functions R ( q ) R ( q 2 ) 2 and R ( q ) 2 / R ( q 2 ) , which are essentially Ramanujan’s parameter and its companion. Additionally, 5-dissections of the reciprocals of these two functions are derived. These 5-dissection formulas imply that the coefficients in their series expansions have periodic sign patterns with few exceptions.

A basis of ℤₘ, II

Min Tang, Yong-Gao Chen (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Given a set A ⊂ ℕ let σ A ( n ) denote the number of ordered pairs (a,a’) ∈ A × A such that a + a’ = n. Erdős and Turán conjectured that for any asymptotic basis A of ℕ, σ A ( n ) is unbounded. We show that the analogue of the Erdős-Turán conjecture does not hold in the abelian group (ℤₘ,+), namely, for any natural number m, there exists a set A ⊆ ℤₘ such that A + A = ℤₘ and σ A ( n ̅ ) 5120 for all n̅ ∈ ℤₘ.

A basis of Zₘ

Min Tang, Yong-Gao Chen (2006)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let σ A ( n ) = | ( a , a ' ) A ² : a + a ' = n | , where n ∈ N and A is a subset of N. Erdős and Turán conjectured that for any basis A of order 2 of N, σ A ( n ) is unbounded. In 1990, Imre Z. Ruzsa constructed a basis A of order 2 of N for which σ A ( n ) is bounded in the square mean. In this paper, we show that there exists a positive integer m₀ such that, for any integer m ≥ m₀, we have a set A ⊂ Zₘ such that A + A = Zₘ and σ A ( n ̅ ) 768 for all n̅ ∈ Zₘ.

A Bogomolov property for curves modulo algebraic subgroups

Philipp Habegger (2009)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Generalizing a result of Bombieri, Masser, and Zannier we show that on a curve in the algebraic torus which is not contained in any proper coset only finitely many points are close to an algebraic subgroup of codimension at least 2 . The notion of close is defined using the Weil height. We also deduce some cardinality bounds and further finiteness statements.

A bound for the average rank of a family of abelian varieties

Rania Wazir (2004)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

In this note, we consider a one-parameter family of Abelian varieties A / Q T , and find an upper bound for the average rank in terms of the generic rank. This bound is based on Michel's estimates for the average rank in a one-parameter family of Abelian varieties, and extends previous work of Silverman for elliptic surfaces.
