Abstract

Poincaré in 1911 and Petersson in 1932 gave the now classical expression for the parabolic Fourier coefficients of holomorphic Poincaré series in terms of Bessel functions and Kloosterman sums. Later, in 1941, Petersson introduced hyperbolic and elliptic Fourier expansions of modular forms and the associated hyperbolic and elliptic Poincaré series. In this paper we express the hyperbolic Fourier coefficients of Poincaré series, of both parabolic and hyperbolic type, in terms of hypergeometric series and Good's generalized Kloosterman sums. In an explicit example for the modular group, we see that the hyperbolic Kloosterman sum corresponds to a sum over lattice points on a hyperbola contained in an ellipse. This allows for numerical computation of the hyperbolic Fourier coefficients.

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.
