$q$-Analogues of some supercongruences related to generalized Van Hamme-type supercongruences

Abstract

Recently, Jana and Kalita (Res. Number Theory $\textbf{8}~ (2022),$ Article $54$) obtained certain supercongruences motivated by some generalized Van Hamme type supercongruences, specifically for an integer $\ell \geq 2$ and an odd prime $p$ with $p \equiv -1 \pmod{\ell},$ \begin{align*} \displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^{\frac{p^v + 1}{\ell}} (-1)^n (2 \ell n - 1) (\ell^2 n^2 - \ell n + 1) \frac{(-\frac{1}{\ell})_n^3}{(1)_n^3} \equiv (-1)^{\frac{p^v + p + 2}{\ell}} p^{3v} \pmod{p^{3v+1}}, \end{align*} and \begin{align*} \displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^{\frac{p^v + 1}{\ell}} (2 \ell n - 1) (2 \ell^2 n^2 - 2 \ell n + 1) \frac{(-\frac{1}{\ell})_n^4}{(1)_n^4} \equiv - p^{4v} \pmod{p^{4v+1}}. \end{align*} Employing the $q$-telescoping technique, similar to the $q$-WZ method, we here establish some supercongruences involving certain $q$-shifted factorials. As particular cases, we provide $q$-analogues of the above supercongruences.

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.
