 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.

 The Waring Problem with the Ramanujan $\tau$-Function, II Let $\tau(n)$ be the Ramanujan $\tau$-function. 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

 Huber's Theorem for Hyperbolic Orbisurfaces We show that for compact orientable hyperbolic orbisurfaces, the Laplace spectrum determines the length spectrum as well as the number of singular points of a given order. The converse also holds, giving a full generalization of Huber's theorem to the setting of compact orientable hyperbolic orbisurfaces.

 Carmichael Numbers with a Square Totient Let $\varphi$ denote the Euler function. In this paper, we show that for all large $x$ there are more than $x^{0.33}$ Carmichael numbers $n\le x$ with the property that $\varphi(n)$ is a perfect square. We also obtain similar results for higher powers. Categories:11N25, 11A25

 Small Zeros of Quadratic Forms Avoiding a Finite Number of Prescribed Hyperplanes We prove a new upper bound for the smallest zero $\mathbf{x}$ of a quadratic form over a number field with the additional restriction that $\mathbf{x}$ does not lie in a finite number of $m$ prescribed hyperplanes. Our bound is polynomial in the height of the quadratic form, with an exponent depending only on the number of variables but not on $m$. Categories:11D09, 11E12, 11H46, 11H55

 On the Rational Points of the Curve $f(X,Y)^q = h(X)g(X,Y)$ Let $q = 2,3$ and $f(X,Y)$, $g(X,Y)$, $h(X)$ be polynomials with integer coefficients. In this paper we deal with the curve $f(X,Y)^q = h(X)g(X,Y)$, and we show that under some favourable conditions it is possible to determine all of its rational points. Categories:11G30, 14G05, 14G25

 Expected Norms of Zero-One Polynomials Let $\cA_n = \big\{ a_0 + a_1 z + \cdots + a_{n-1}z^{n-1} : a_j \in \{0, 1 \ } \big\}$, whose elements are called \emf{zero-one polynomials} and correspond naturally to the $2^n$ subsets of $[n] := \{ 0, 1, \ldots, n-1 \}$. We also let $\cA_{n,m} = \{ \alf(z) \in \cA_n : \alf(1) = m \}$, whose elements correspond to the ${n \choose m}$ subsets of~$[n]$ of size~$m$, and let $\cB_n = \cA_{n+1} \setminus \cA_n$, whose elements are the zero-one polynomials of degree exactly~$n$. Many researchers have studied norms of polynomials with restricted coefficients. Using $\norm{\alf}_p$ to denote the usual $L_p$ norm of~$\alf$ on the unit circle, one easily sees that $\alf(z) = a_0 + a_1 z + \cdots + a_N z^N \in \bR[z]$ satisfies $\norm{\alf}_2^2 = c_0$ and $\norm{\alf}_4^4 = c_0^2 + 2(c_1^2 + \cdots + c_N^2)$, where $c_k := \sum_{j=0}^{N-k} a_j a_{j+k}$ for $0 \le k \le N$. If $\alf(z) \in \cA_{n,m}$, say $\alf(z) = z^{\beta_1} + \cdots + z^{\beta_m}$ where $\beta_1 < \cdots < \beta_m$, then $c_k$ is the number of times $k$ appears as a difference $\beta_i - \beta_j$. The condition that $\alf \in \cA_{n,m}$ satisfies $c_k \in \{0,1\}$ for $1 \le k \le n-1$ is thus equivalent to the condition that $\{ \beta_1, \ldots, \beta_m \}$ is a \emf{Sidon set} (meaning all differences of pairs of elements are distinct). In this paper, we find the average of~$\|\alf\|_4^4$ over $\alf \in \cA_n$, $\alf \in \cB_n$, and $\alf \in \cA_{n,m}$. We further show that our expression for the average of~$\|\alf\|_4^4$ over~$\cA_{n,m}$ yields a new proof of the known result: if $m = o(n^{1/4})$ and $B(n,m)$ denotes the number of Sidon sets of size~$m$ in~$[n]$, then almost all subsets of~$[n]$ of size~$m$ are Sidon, in the sense that $\lim_{n \to \infty} B(n,m)/\binom{n}{m} = 1$.

 Summation of Series over Bourget Functions In this paper we derive formulas for summation of series involving J.~Bourget's generalization of Bessel functions of integer order, as well as the analogous generalizations by H.~M.~Srivastava. These series are expressed in terms of the Riemann $\z$ function and Dirichlet functions $\eta$, $\la$, $\b$, and can be brought into closed form in certain cases, which means that the infinite series are represented by finite sums.

 Linear Equations with Small Prime and Almost Prime Solutions Let $b_1, b_2$ be any integers such that $\gcd(b_1, b_2)=1$ and $c_1|b_1|<|b_2|\leq c_2|b_1|$, where $c_1, c_2$ are any given positive constants. Let $n$ be any integer satisfying $\{gcd(n, b_i)=1$, $i=1,2$. Let $P_k$ denote any integer with no more than $k$ prime factors, counted according to multiplicity. In this paper, for almost all $b_2$, we prove (i) a sharp lower bound for $n$ such that the equation $b_1p+b_2m=n$ is solvable in prime $p$ and almost prime $m=P_k$, $k\geq 3$ whenever both $b_i$ are positive, and (ii) a sharp upper bound for the least solutions $p, m$ of the above equation whenever $b_i$ are not of the same sign, where $p$ is a prime and $m=P_k, k\geq 3$.

 Differences between Perfect Powers We apply the hypergeometric method of Thue and Siegel to prove that if $a$ and $b$ are positive integers, then the inequality $0 <| a^x - b^y | < \frac{1}{4} \, \max \{ a^{x/2}, b^{y/2} \}$ has at most a single solution in positive integers $x$ and $y$. This essentially sharpens a classic result of LeVeque. Categories:11D61, 11D45

 Dynamical Zeta Function for Several Strictly Convex Obstacles The behavior of the dynamical zeta function $Z_D(s)$ related to several strictly convex disjoint obstacles is similar to that of the inverse $Q(s) = \frac{1}{\zeta(s)}$ of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$. Let $\Pi(s)$ be the series obtained from $Z_D(s)$ summing only over primitive periodic rays. In this paper we examine the analytic singularities of $Z_D(s)$ and $\Pi(s)$ close to the line $\Re s = s_2$, where $s_2$ is the abscissa of absolute convergence of the series obtained by the second iterations of the primitive periodic rays. We show that at least one of the functions $Z_D(s), \Pi(s)$ has a singularity at $s = s_2$. Keywords:dynamical zeta function, periodic raysCategories:11M36, 58J50

 On Linear Independence of a Certain Multivariate Infinite Product Let $q,m,M \ge 2$ be positive integers and $r_1,r_2,\dots ,r_m$ be positive rationals and consider the following $M$ multivariate infinite products $F_i = \prod_{j=0}^\infty ( 1+q^{-(Mj+i)}r_1+q^{-2(Mj+i)}r_2+\dots + q^{-m(Mj+i)}r_m)$ for $i=0,1,\dots ,M-1$. In this article, we study the linear independence of these infinite products. In particular, we obtain a lower bound for the dimension of the vector space $\IQ F_0+\IQ F_1 +\dots + \IQ F_{M-1} + \IQ$ over $\IQ$ and show that among these $M$ infinite products, $F_0, F_1,\dots ,F_{M-1}$, at least $\sim M/m(m+1)$ of them are irrational for fixed $m$ and $M \rightarrow \infty$.

 Discriminants of Complex Multiplication Fields of Elliptic Curves over Finite Fields We show that, for most of the elliptic curves $\E$ over a prime finite field $\F_p$ of $p$ elements, the discriminant $D(\E)$ of the quadratic number field containing the endomorphism ring of $\E$ over $\F_p$ is sufficiently large. We also obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of distinct quadratic number fields generated by the endomorphism rings of all elliptic curves over $\F_p$. Categories:11G20, 11N32, 11R11

 Determination of Hauptmoduls and Construction of Abelian Extensions of Quadratic Number Fields We obtain Hauptmoduls of genus zero congruence subgroups of the type $\Gamma_0^+(p):=\linebreak\Gamma_0(p)+w_p$, where $p$ is a prime and $w_p$ is the Atkin--Lehner involution. We then use the Hauptmoduls, along with modular functions on $\Gamma_1(p)$ to construct families of cyclic extensions of quadratic number fields. Further examples of cyclic extension of bi-quadratic and tri-quadratic number fields are also given. Categories:11F03, 11G16, 11R20

 Expansions in Complex Bases Beginning with a seminal paper of R\'enyi, expansions in noninteger real bases have been widely studied in the last forty years. They turned out to be relevant in various domains of mathematics, such as the theory of finite automata, number theory, fractals or dynamical systems. Several results were extended by Dar\'oczy and K\'atai for expansions in complex bases. We introduce an adaptation of the so-called greedy algorithm to the complex case, and we generalize one of their main theorems. Keywords:non-integer bases, greedy expansions, beta-expansionsCategories:11A67, 11A63, 11B85
