Abstract

The aim of this work is to establish congruences $\left( \operatorname{mod}p^{2}\right) $ involving the trinomial coefficients $\binom{np-1}{p-1}_{2}$ and $\binom{np-1}{\left( p-1\right)/2}_{2}$ arising from the expansion of the powers of the polynomial $1+x+x^{2}.$ In main results we extend some known congruences involving the binomial coefficients $\binom{np-1}{p-1}$ and $\binom{np-1}{\left( p-1\right) /2}$ and establish congruences link binomial coefficients and harmonic numbers.

Sums of squares in function fields over a henselian valued field

The Pythagoras number of a field is the smallest natural number $n$ such that every sum of squares in the field is a sum of $n$ squares. Given a nondyadic henselian valued field $(K, v)$, we show that the best bound on the Pythagoras number for function fields of curves over $K$ is essentially the same as for function fields of curves over the residue field $Kv$. As a consequence, we obtain the upper bound $5$ for the Pythagoras number of function fields of curves over any field $K$ for which the rational function field $K(X)$ has Pythagoras number $2$. The proof uses a reduction to the case where the value group is a subgroup of the real numbers, where then a local-global principle for quadratic forms due to V.~Mehmeti is applied.

On $p$-th cyclotomic field and cyclotomic matrices involving Jacobi sums

Inspired by Weil's classical result on the zeta function of a projective Fermat curve defined over a finite field, in this paper, we investigate some arithmetic properties of the cyclotomic matrix $$\left[J_p(χ^{ki},χ^{kj})\right]_{1\le i,j\le n-1},$$ where $p\ge3$ is a prime, $1\le k<p-1$ is a divisor of $p-1$ with $p-1=kn$, $χ$ is a generator of the group of all multiplicative characters of $\mathbb{F}_p$ and $J_p(χ^{ki},χ^{kj})$ is the Jacobi sum. For example, let $ζ_p\in\mathbb{C}$ be a primitive $p$-th root of unity and $P_k(T)$ be the minimal polynomial of the algebraic integer $$θ_k=\sum_{x\in\mathbb{F}_p,x^k=1}ζ_p^x$$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. Then we prove that $$\det \left[J_p(χ^{ki},χ^{kj})\right]_{1\le i,j\le n-1}=(-1)^{\frac{(k+1)(n^2-n)}{2}}\cdot n^{n-2}\cdot x_p(k),$$ where $x_p(k)$ is the coefficient of $T$ in $P_k(T)$.

Weighted uniform distribution of subpolynomial functions along primes and applications

Let $u(x)$ be a subpolynomial function in a Hardy field. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the weighted uniform distribution of the sequences $(u(n))_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ and $(u(p_n))_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, where $p_n$ denotes the $n$-th prime. This extends the main result of [4] to the weighted setting and leads to new applications in uniform distribution theory, ergodic theory, and additive combinatorics.
