Relations between multizeta values in characteristic p

Abstract

We study relations between the multizeta values for function fields introduced by D. Thakur. The product ζ(a)ζ(b) is a linear combination of multizeta values. For q=2, a full conjectural description of how the product of two zeta values can be described as the sum of multizetas was given by Thakur. The recursion part of this recipe was generalized by the author. In this paper, the main conjecture formulated by the author, as well as some conjectures of Thakur are proved. Moreover, for general q, we prove closed formulas as well as a recursive recipe to express ζ(a)ζ(b) as a sum of multizeta values.

Asymptotic density of k-almost primes

Landau's well known asymptotic formula $$N_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : Ω(n)=k\}\mid \ \sim \left( \frac{x}{\log x} \right) \frac{(\log\log x)^{k-1}}{(k - 1)!}\ \ (x \rightarrow \infty),$$ which also holds for $$π_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : ω(n)=k\}\mid,$$ is known to be fairly poor for $k > 1$, and when $k$ is allowed to tend to infinity with $x$, the study of $N_k(x)$ and $π_k(x)$ becomes very technical [1, Chapter II.6, $§$ 6.1, p.200]. I hope to show that the method described below provides not only a more accurate approach, but rather increases in its asymptotic accuracy as $k$ tends to infinity.

Transcendence Meets Normality: Construction of Transcendentally Normal Numbers

In this work, we study real numbers $x$ for which $p(x)$ is (absolutely) normal for every non-constant integer-valued polynomial $p$. We call such numbers transcendentally normal. We prove that almost every real number is transcendentally normal and provide an explicit construction of such a number, based on Sierpinski's covering method and novel ideas involving the so-called stretch function. In the next step, we transform this construction into an algorithm that computes the digits of a t-normal number recursively in all integer bases. Moreover, we extend our covering approach to construct and compute LIL-normal numbers whose discrepancies are of the order predicted by the law of the iterated logarithm. We also take the opportunity to discuss several interesting open problems.
