Abstract

Sometimes we need the approximate value of the partition number in a simple and efficient way. There are already several formulae to calculate the partition number p(n). But they are either inconvenient for most people (not majored in math) who do not want do write programs, or unsatisfying in accuracy. By bringing in two parameters in the Hardy-Ramanujan's Asymptotic formula and fitting the data of the two parameters by least square method, iteration method and some other special designed methods, several revised elementary estimation formulae with high accuracy for p(n) are obtained. With these estimation formulae, the approximate value of p(n) can be calculated by a pocket calculator without programming function. The main difficulty is that the usual methods to fit the data of the two parameters by an elementary function is defective here. These method could be used in finding the fitting functions of some other complex data.

On the factorisation of the $p$-adic Rankin-Selberg $L$-function in the supersingular case

Given a cusp form $f$ which is supersingular at a fixed prime $p$ away from the level, and a Coleman family $F$ through one of its $p$-stabilisations, we construct a $2$-variable meromorphic $p$-adic $L$-function for the symmetric square of $F$. We prove that this new $p$-adic $L$-function interpolates values of complex imprimitive symmetric square $L$-functions, for the various specialisations of the family $F$. We use this $p$-adic $L$-function to prove a $p$-adic factorisation formula, expressing the geometric $p$-adic $L$-function attached to the Rankin--Selberg convolution of $f$ with itself as a the product of the $p$-adic symmetric square $L$-function of $f$ and a Kubota-Leopoldt $L$-function. This extends a result of Dasgupta in the ordinary case.

Exceptional poles of archimedean Rankin-Selberg L-functions for irreducible generic representations of GL(n,R)

For irreducible generic representations $π_1$ and $π_2$ of $\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb R)$, we prove that the notions of exceptional pole of type $1$ and type $2$ coincide at every level. When both representations are in general position, we use this identification to express the Rankin--Selberg $L$-function $L(s,π_1\timesπ_2)$ in terms of the exceptional $L$-factors attached to the irreducible constituents of their derivatives.
