Abstract

This work extends the results of the preprint Ramanujan type Series for Logarithms, Part I, arXiv:2506.08245, which introduced single hypergeometric type identities for the efficient computing of $\log(p)$, where $p\in\mathbb{Z}_{>1}$. We present novel formulas for arctangents and methods for a very fast multiseries evaluation of logarithms. Building upon a $\mathcal{O}((p-1)^{6})$ Ramanujan type series asymptotic approximation for $\log(p)$ as $p\rightarrow1$, formulas for computing $n$ simultaneous logarithms are developed. These formulas are derived by solving an integer programming problem to identify optimal variable values within a finite lattice $\mathbb{Z}^{n}$. This approach yields linear combinations of series that provide: (i) highly efficient formulas for single logarithms of natural numbers (some of them were tested to get more than $10^{11}$ decimal places) and (ii) the fastest known hypergeometric formulas for multivalued logarithms of $n$ selected integers in $\mathbb{Z}_{>1}$. An application of these results was to extend the number of decimal places known for log(10) up to 2.0$\cdot$10$^{12}$ digits (June 06 2025).

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.

Real quadratic base changes for $\mathrm{GL}_3$ and integral periods relations

We prove a $p$-adic divisibility between the automorphic periods of a cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}_3(\mathbb{Q})$ and the periods of its Arthur-Clozel's base change to some real quadratic field $E$. This generalizes earlier works of Tilouine-Urban and of Hida in the case of classical modular forms. The divisibility we prove involves a new kind of automorphic periods, defined using the middle degree of the cuspidal cohomology of $\mathrm{GL}_3(E)$, instead of the top or bottom degrees. We also investigate the Rogawski's stable base change from the quasi-split unitary group $U_E$ associated with $E$ to $\mathrm{GL}_3(E)$. In this situation, we also obtain some results toward a $p$-adic divisibility of automorphic periods.
