Ternary polynomial relations and periods of cusp forms
Vasily Ilin, Ken Ono
Bachmann and van Ittersum conjectured that every polynomial satisfying is a sum of polynom…
Rogers--Ramanujan identities from the geometry of
Yifeng Huang, Kenny Lau, Ken Ono
We prove the conjecture of Huang, Jiang, and Oblomkov (HJO) giving a geometric extension of the Rogers--Ramanujan and Andrews--Gordon identities for every torus-knot singularity $X…
Algebraic geometric framework of Rogers--Ramanujan identities
Yifeng Huang, Kenny Lau, Ken Ono +1
The Rogers--Ramanujan identities equate a -series whose exponents are governed by a quadratic form with an infinite product supported on two residue classes modulo~. Identiti…
Formalized -series: The Rogers-Ramanujan Identities and Beyond
Kenny Lau, Seewoo Lee, Ken Ono
The theory of -series and basic hypergeometric series plays a crucial role at the intersection of combinatorics, number theory, and representation theory. From the classical par…
Modularity of Point Counts for the Curves : New Rogers--Ramanujan Identities
Kenny Lau, Ken Ono
For coprime , let be the set of commuting pairs of nilpotent matrices over with . Huang, Jiang, and Oblomkov as…
Beyond Mock Modularity: Elliptic Corrections for Higher Dyson Ranks
Claudia Alfes, Ken Ono, Ashvin Swaminathan
When , the Dyson rank generating function is a classical bridge between partition theory, Ramanujan's mock theta functions, and the theory of harmonic Maass forms and nonhol…
Integer values of are rare
Ken Ono
For , we let In 2008, Amdeberhan, Medina, and Moll conjectured that for every . This was kn…
Thakur's hypotheses on power sums of
Evan Chen, Ken Ono
In his 2009 paper, Thakur posed three conjectural hypotheses for the degrees of the power sums \[ S_d(k)=\sum_{\substack{a\in \mathbb F_q[t] \text{ monic}\\ °a=d}} a^{-k} \qquad\te…
Four-digit Kaprekar dynamics in odd bases
Evan Chen, Ken Ono, Richard E. Schwartz +1
Start with four digits, arrange them in both descending and ascending order, subtract, and repeat. This simple process is known as the Kaprekar routine, famous in base ten for send…
ABC implies that Ramanujan's tau function misses almost all primes
David Kurniadi Angdinata, Evan Chen, Chris Cummins +21
Lehmer conjectured that Ramanujan's tau-function never vanishes. In a related direction, a folklore conjecture asserts that infinitely many primes arise as absolute values of Raman…
Almost all primes are partially regular
Evan Chen, Chris Cummins, Ben Eltschig +18
For odd primes , we let be the th cyclotomic field and let denote its Teichmuller character. For , we say that an odd prime is partially…
Parity of -differentials in genus zero and one
Dawei Chen, Evan Chen, Kenny Lau +2
Here we completely determine the spin parity of -differentials with prescribed zero and pole orders on Riemann surfaces of genus zero and one. This result was previously obtaine…
Parity of the partition function in quadratic progressions
Ken Ono, Ashvin Swaminathan
The parity of the partition function is one of the most stubborn problems in number theory. In 2010, the first author conjectured, for square-free , t…
