We introduce the Yagah prime density triangle, a multiplicative array constructed by a modified rule of indices. Two display formats are given: a right-angle triangle with converted and unconverted entries, and an equilateral triangle obtained by mirroring the right-angle triangle about the central term xn. We derive the row-sum generating function and provide worked examples using both direct computation and the generating function.Using a four-rule division scheme applied to the unconverted rows we obtain the sequence whose integer parts sum to the magic numbers for two spin orientations. Replacing the repeated end integers by 1,1 yields whose integer parts give the standard nuclear magic numbers 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, 126, 184, . . . Subshell filling up to x9, deductions, and evidence from nuclear physics are included. A recurrence M = m ± [(n1n2) + 2] is presented for generating further magic numbers. The sequences appear as OEIS A005897 and OEIS A018226.

This note presents two original and creative divisibility tests for the integers 2 and 5. Both rules use the factorial of the last digit of a number, combined with a small correction when the factorial value would disrupt the required modular congruence. The resulting tests are mathematically equivalent to the classical last-digit rules but reach the same conclusion through an unconventional factorial-based approach. Each theorem includes a short proof sketch, an explanation of the mechanism, and four worked examples. The methods are valid precisely because 2 and 5 divide the base 10, allowing the last digit to fully determine the remainder modulo of these divisors. The work is intended as an accessible piece of recreational number theory for educational purposes.

In this article, we define a “ recursive local” algorithm in order to construct two reccurent numerical sequences of positive prime numbers (𝑈2𝑛) and (𝑉2𝑛), ((𝑈2𝑛) function of (𝑉2𝑛)), such that for any integer n≥ 2, their sum is 2n. To build these , we use a third sequence of prime numbers (𝑊2𝑛) defined for any integer n≥ 3 by : 𝑊2𝑛 = Sup(p∈IP : p ≤ 2n-3), where IP is the infinite set of positive prime numbers. The Goldbach conjecture has been verified for all even integers 2n between 4 and 4.1018. . In the Table of Goldbach sequence terms given in paragraph § 10, we reach values of the order of 2n= 101000 . Thus, thanks to this algorithm of “ascent and descent”, we can validate the strong Euler-Goldbach conjecture.

The aim of the present paper is to suggest that statistical physics provides the correct language to understand the practical behavior of the LLL algorithm, most of which are left unexplained to this day. To this end, we propose sandpile models that imitate LLL with compelling accuracy, and prove for these models some of the most desired statements regarding LLL. We also formulate a few conjectures that formally capture our heuristics and would serve as milestones for further development of the theory.

We extend two results about the ordinary continued fraction expansion to best simultaneous Diophantine approximations of vectors or matrices. The first is Levy-Khintchin Theorem about the almost sure growth rate of the denominators of the convergents. The second is a Theorem of Bosma, Hendrik and Wiedijk about the almost sure limit distribution of the sequence of products q_n d(q_n θ,Z) where the qn's are the denominators of the convergents associated with the real number θ by the ordinary continued fraction algorithm. Beside these two main results, we show that when d≥2, for almost all vectors θ∈R^d, lim inf_{n→∞} q_{n+k} d(q_n θ,Z^d)=0 for all positive integers k, where (q_n)_{n∈N} is the sequence of best approximation denominators of θ.

In this paper we derive refined Petersson/Kuznetsov trace formulae with prescribed local ramifications. The spectral side of these formulae are much shorter than the standard versions. We use them to study the first moment and the subconvexity bound of certain Rankin-Selberg L-function in a hybrid setting.

We improve upon the local bound in the depth aspect for sup-norms of newforms on D^×, where D is an indefinite quaternion division algebra over Q. Our sup-norm bound implies a depth-aspect subconvexity bound for L(1/2,f×θ_χ), where f is a (varying) newform on D^× of level p^n, and θ_χ is an (essentially fixed) automorphic form on GL_2 obtained as the theta lift of a Hecke character χ on a quadratic field. For the proof, we augment the amplification method with a novel filtration argument and a recent counting result proved by the second-named author to reduce to showing strong quantitative decay of matrix coefficients of local newvectors along compact subsets, which we establish via p-adic stationary phase analysis. Furthermore, we prove a general upper bound in the level aspect for sup-norms of automorphic forms belonging to any family whose associated matrix coefficients have such a decay property.

In this paper we give quantitative local test vectors for Waldspurger's period integral (i.e., a toric period on GL_2) in new cases with joint ramifications. The construction involves minimal vectors, rather than newforms and their variants. This paper gives a uniform treatment for the matrix algebra and division algebra cases under mild assumptions, and establishes an explicit relation between the size of the local integral and the finite conductor C(π×π_{χ^{−1}}). As an application, we combine the test vector results with the relative trace formula, and prove a hybrid type subconvexity bound which can be as strong as the Weyl bound in proper range.

We discuss Waldspurger’s local period integral for newforms in new cases. The main tool is the work of Hu and Nelson (2018) on Waldspurger’s period integral using minimal vectors, and the explicit relation between newforms and minimal vectors. We use a representation-theoretical trick to simplify computations for newforms. As an example, we compute the local integral coming from a special arithmetic setting which was used to study the 3-part full BSD conjecture by Hu et al. (2019).

Let $p\equiv 4,7\ \mathrm {mod}\ 9$ be a rational prime number such that $3\ \mathrm {mod}\ p$ is not a cube. In this paper, we prove the $3$-part of $|\textrm {III}(E_p)|\cdot |\textrm {III}(E_{3p^2})|$ is as predicted by the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, where $E_p: x^3+y^3=p$ and $E_{3p^2}: x^3+y^3=3p^2$ are the elliptic curves related to the Sylvester conjecture and cube sum problems.
