 An Extension of Craig's Family of Lattices Let $p$ be a prime, and let $\zeta_p$ be a primitive $p$-th root of unity. The lattices in Craig's family are $(p-1)$-dimensional and are geometrical representations of the integral $\mathbb Z[\zeta_p]$-ideals $\langle 1-\zeta_p \rangle^i$, where $i$ is a positive integer. This lattice construction technique is a powerful one. Indeed, in dimensions $p-1$ where $149 \leq p \leq 3001$, Craig's lattices are the densest packings known. Motivated by this, we construct $(p-1)(q-1)$-dimensional lattices from the integral $\mathbb Z[\zeta _{pq}]$-ideals $\langle 1-\zeta_p \rangle^i \langle 1-\zeta_q \rangle^j$, where $p$ and $q$ are distinct primes and $i$ and $j$ are positive integers. In terms of sphere-packing density, the new lattices and those in Craig's family have the same asymptotic behavior. In conclusion, Craig's family is greatly extended while preserving its sphere-packing properties.

 The Infimum in the Metric Mahler Measure Dubickas and Smyth defined the metric Mahler measure on the multiplicative group of non-zero algebraic numbers. The definition involves taking an infimum over representations of an algebraic number $\alpha$ by other algebraic numbers. We verify their conjecture that the infimum in its definition is always achieved, and we establish its analog for the ultrametric Mahler measure.

 The Saddle-Point Method and the Li Coefficients In this paper, we apply the saddle-point method in conjunction with the theory of the NÃ¶rlund-Rice integrals to derive precise asymptotic formula for the generalized Li coefficients established by Omar and Mazhouda. Actually, for any function $F$ in the Selberg class $\mathcal{S}$ and under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we have $$\lambda_{F}(n)=\frac{d_{F}}{2}n\log n+c_{F}n+O(\sqrt{n}\log n),$$ with $$c_{F}=\frac{d_{F}}{2}(\gamma-1)+\frac{1}{2}\log(\lambda Q_{F}^{2}),\ \lambda=\prod_{j=1}^{r}\lambda_{j}^{2\lambda_{j}},$$ where $\gamma$ is the Euler's constant and the notation is as below.

 Elements in a Numerical Semigroup with Factorizations of the Same Length Questions concerning the lengths of factorizations into irreducible elements in numerical monoids have gained much attention in the recent literature. In this note, we show that a numerical monoid has an element with two different irreducible factorizations of the same length if and only if its embedding dimension is greater than two. We find formulas in embedding dimension three for the smallest element with two different irreducible factorizations of the same length and the largest element whose different irreducible factorizations all have distinct lengths. We show that these formulas do not naturally extend to higher embedding dimensions. Keywords:numerical monoid, numerical semigroup, non-unique factorizationCategories:20M14, 20D60, 11B75

 Exceptional Covers of Surfaces Consider a finite morphism $f: X \rightarrow Y$ of smooth, projective varieties over a finite field $\mathbf{F}$. Suppose $X$ is the vanishing locus in $\mathbf{P}^N$ of $r$ forms of degree at most $d$. We show that there is a constant $C$ depending only on $(N,r,d)$ and $\deg(f)$ such that if $|{\mathbf{F}}|>C$, then $f(\mathbf{F}): X(\mathbf{F}) \rightarrow Y(\mathbf{F})$ is injective if and only if it is surjective.

 Periods of Modular Forms and Imaginary Quadratic Base Change Let $f$ be a classical newform of weight $2$ on the upper half-plane $\mathcal H^{(2)}$, $E$ the corresponding strong Weil curve, $K$ a class number one imaginary quadratic field, and $F$ the base change of $f$ to $K$. Under a mild hypothesis on the pair $(f,K)$, we prove that the period ratio $\Omega_E/(\sqrt{|D|}\Omega_F)$ is in $\mathbb Q$. Here $\Omega_F$ is the unique minimal positive period of $F$, and $\Omega_E$ the area of $E(\mathbb C)$. The claim is a specialization to base change forms of a conjecture proposed and numerically verified by Cremona and Whitley. Category:11F67

 Spacings Between Integers Having Typically Many Prime Factors We show that the sequence of integers which have nearly the typical number of distinct prime factors forms a Poisson process. More precisely, for $\delta$ arbitrarily small and positive, the nearest neighbor spacings between integers n with $|\omega(n) - log log n| < (log log n)^{\delta}$ obey the Poisson distribution law.

 Pisot Numbers from $\{ 0, 1 \}$-Polynomials A \emph{Pisot number} is a real algebraic integer greater than 1, all of whose conjugates lie strictly inside the open unit disk; a \emph{Salem number} is a real algebraic integer greater than 1, all of whose conjugate roots are inside the closed unit disk, with at least one of them of modulus exactly 1. Pisot numbers have been studied extensively, and an algorithm to generate them is well known. Our main result characterises all Pisot numbers whose minimal polynomial is derived from a Newman polynomial Â- one with $\{0,1\}$-coefficients Â- and shows that they form a strictly increasing sequence with limit $(1+\sqrt{5}) / 2$. It has long been known that every Pisot number is a limit point, from both sides, of sequences of Salem numbers. We show that this remains true, from at least one side, for the restricted sets of Pisot and Salem numbers that are generated by Newman polynomials. Categories:11R06, 11R09, 11C08

 Some Infinite Products of Ramanujan Type In his lost'' notebook, Ramanujan stated two results, which are equivalent to the identities $\prod_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(1-q^n)^5}{(1-q^{5n})} =1-5\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\Big( \sum_{d \mid n} \qu{5}{d} d \Big) q^n$ and $q\prod_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(1-q^{5n})^5}{(1-q^{n})} =\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\Big( \sum_{d \mid n} \qu{5}{n/d} d \Big) q^n.$ We give several more identities of this type.

 Computing Polynomials of the Ramanujan $t_n$ Class Invariants We compute the minimal polynomials of the Ramanujan values $t_n$, where $n\equiv 11 \mod 24$, using the Shimura reciprocity law. These polynomials can be used for defining the Hilbert class field of the imaginary quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-n})$ and have much smaller coefficients than the Hilbert polynomials.

We prove that for any integer $N$ with $|N|\ge 2$ the diophantine equation $$\sum_{i=1}^{148000}\tau(n_i)=N$$ has a solution in positive integers $n_1, n_2,\ldots, n_{148000}$ satisfying the condition $$\max_{1\le i\le 148000}n_i\ll |N|^{2/11}e^{-c\log |N|/\log\log |N|},$$ for some absolute constant $c>0.$ Categories:11B13, 11F30

 Extension of the Riemann $\xi$-Function's Logarithmic Derivative Positivity Region to Near the Critical Strip If $K$ is a number field with $n_k=[k:\mathbb{Q}]$, and $\xi_k$ the symmetrized Dedekind zeta function of the field, the inequality $$\Re\,{\frac{ \xi_k'(\sigma + {\rm i} t)}{\xi_k(\sigma + {\rm i} t)}} > \frac{ \xi_k'(\sigma)}{\xi_k(\sigma)}$$ for $t\neq 0$ is shown to be true for $\sigma\ge 1+ 8/n_k^\frac{1}{3}$ improving the result of Lagarias where the constant in the inequality was 9. In the case $k=\mathbb{Q}$ the inequality is extended to $\si\ge 1$ for all $t$ sufficiently large or small and to the region $\si\ge 1+1/(\log t -5)$ for all $t\neq 0$. This answers positively a question posed by Lagarias. Keywords:Riemann zeta function, xi function, zeta zerosCategories:11M26, 11R42
