 On Sequences of Squares with Constant Second Differences The aim of this paper is to study sequences of integers for which the second differences between their squares are constant. We show that there are infinitely many nontrivial monotone sextuples having this property and discuss some related problems.

 A K3 Surface Associated With Certain Integral Matrices Having Integral Eigenvalues In this article we will show that there are infinitely many symmetric, integral $3 \times 3$ matrices, with zeros on the diagonal, whose eigenvalues are all integral. We will do this by proving that the rational points on a certain non-Kummer, singular K3 surface are dense. We will also compute the entire NÃ©ron-Severi group of this surface and find all low degree curves on it.

 The Values of Modular Functions and Modular Forms Let $\Gamma_0$ be a Fuchsian group of the first kind of genus zero and $\Gamma$ be a subgroup of $\Gamma_0$ of finite index of genus zero. We find universal recursive relations giving the $q_{r}$-series coefficients of $j_0$ by using those of the $q_{h_{s}}$-series of $j$, where $j$ is the canonical Hauptmodul for $\Gamma$ and $j_0$ is a Hauptmodul for $\Gamma_0$ without zeros on the complex upper half plane $\mathfrak{H}$ (here $q_{\ell} := e^{2 \pi i z / \ell}$). We find universal recursive formulas for $q$-series coefficients of any modular form on $\Gamma_0^{+}(p)$ in terms of those of the canonical Hauptmodul $j_p^{+}$. Categories:10D12, 11F11

 Vector-Valued Modular Forms of Weight Two Associated With Jacobi-Like Forms We construct vector-valued modular forms of weight 2 associated to Jacobi-like forms with respect to a symmetric tensor representation of $\G$ by using the method of Kuga and Shimura as well as the correspondence between Jacobi-like forms and sequences of modular forms. As an application, we obtain vector-valued modular forms determined by theta functions and by pseudodifferential operators. Categories:11F11, 11F50

 A Lower Bound on the Number of Cyclic Function Fields With Class Number Divisible by $n$ In this paper, we find a lower bound on the number of cyclic function fields of prime degree~$l$ whose class numbers are divisible by a given integer $n$. This generalizes a previous result of D. Cardon and R. Murty which gives a lower bound on the number of quadratic function fields with class numbers divisible by $n$. Categories:11R29, 11R58

 On the Modularity of Three Calabi--Yau Threefolds With Bad Reduction at 11 This paper investigates the modularity of three non-rigid Calabi--Yau threefolds with bad reduction at 11. They are constructed as fibre products of rational elliptic surfaces, involving the modular elliptic surface of level 5. Their middle $\ell$-adic cohomology groups are shown to split into two-dimensional pieces, all but one of which can be interpreted in terms of elliptic curves. The remaining pieces are associated to newforms of weight 4 and level 22 or 55, respectively. For this purpose, we develop a method by Serre to compare the corresponding two-dimensional 2-adic Galois representations with uneven trace. Eventually this method is also applied to a self fibre product of the Hesse-pencil, relating it to a newform of weight 4 and level 27. Categories:14J32, 11F11, 11F23, 20C12

 Evaluation of the Dedekind Eta Function We extend the methods of Van der Poorten and Chapman for explicitly evaluating the Dede\-kind eta function at quadratic irrationalities. Via evaluation of Hecke $L$-series we obtain new evaluations at points in imaginary quadratic number fields with class numbers 3 and 4. Further, we overcome the limitations of the earlier methods and via modular equations provide explicit evaluations where the class number is 5 or 7. Category:11G15

 A Dynamical Proof of Pisot's Theorem We give a geometric proof of classical results that characterize Pisot numbers as algebraic $\lambda>1$ for which there is $x\neq0$ with $\lambda^nx \to 0 \mod$ and identify such $x$ as members of $\Z[\lambda^{-1}] \cdot \Z[\lambda]^*$ where $\Z[\lambda]^*$ is the dual module of $\Z[\lambda]$.

 Correction to: On the Diophantine Equation $n(n+d)\cdots(n+(k-1)d)=by^l$ In the article under consideration (Canad. Math. Bull. \textbf{47} (2004), pp.~373--388), Lemma 6 is not true in the form presented there. Lemma 6 is used only in the proof of part (i) of Theorem 9. We note, however, that part (i) of Theorem 9 in question is a special case of a theorem by Bennet, Bruin, Gy\H{o}ry and Hajdu. Category:11D41

 On a Theorem of Kawamoto on Normal Bases of Rings of Integers, II Let $m=p^e$ be a power of a prime number $p$. We say that a number field $F$ satisfies the property $(H_m')$ when for any $a \in F^{\times}$, the cyclic extension $F(\z_m, a^{1/m})/F(\z_m)$ has a normal $p$-integral basis. We prove that $F$ satisfies $(H_m')$ if and only if the natural homomorphism $Cl_F' \to Cl_K'$ is trivial. Here $K=F(\zeta_m)$, and $Cl_F'$ denotes the ideal class group of $F$ with respect to the $p$-integer ring of $F$. Category:11R33

 On the Error Term in Duke's Estimate for the Average Special Value of $L$-Functions Let $\FF$ be an orthonormal basis for weight $2$ cusp forms of level $N$. We show that various weighted averages of special values $L(f \tensor \chi, 1)$ over $f \in \FF$ are equal to $4 \pi c + O(N^{-1 + \epsilon})$, where $c$ is an explicit nonzero constant. A previous result of Duke gives an error term of $O(N^{-1/2}\log N)$. Categories:11F67, 11F11

 Diagonal Plus Tridiagonal Representatives for Symplectic Congruence Classes of Symmetric Matrices Let $n=2m$ be even and denote by $\Sp_n(F)$ the symplectic group of rank $m$ over an infinite field $F$ of characteristic different from $2$. We show that any $n\times n$ symmetric matrix $A$ is equivalent under symplectic congruence transformations to the direct sum of $m\times m$ matrices $B$ and $C$, with $B$ diagonal and $C$ tridiagonal. Since the $\Sp_n(F)$-module of symmetric $n\times n$ matrices over $F$ is isomorphic to the adjoint module $\sp_n(F)$, we infer that any adjoint orbit of $\Sp_n(F)$ in $\sp_n(F)$ has a representative in the sum of $3m-1$ root spaces, which we explicitly determine.

 Monotonicity Properties of the Hurwitz Zeta Function Let $$\zeta(s,x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{(n+x)^s} \quad{(s>1,\, x>0)}$$ be the Hurwitz zeta function and let $$Q(x)=Q(x;\alpha,\beta;a,b)=\frac{(\zeta(\alpha,x))^a}{(\zeta(\beta,x))^b},$$ where $\alpha, \beta>1$ and $a,b>0$ are real numbers. We prove: (i) The function $Q$ is decreasing on $(0,\infty)$ if{}f $\alpha a-\beta b\geq \max(a-b,0)$. (ii) $Q$ is increasing on $(0,\infty)$ if{}f $\alpha a-\beta b\leq \min(a-b,0)$. An application of part (i) reveals that for all $x>0$ the function $s\mapsto [(s-1)\zeta(s,x)]^{1/(s-1)}$ is decreasing on $(1,\infty)$. This settles a conjecture of Bastien and Rogalski.

 The Distribution of Totatives The integers coprime to $n$ are called the {\it totatives} \rm of $n$. D. H. Lehmer and Paul Erd\H{o}s were interested in understanding when the number of totatives between $in/k$ and $(i+1)n/k$ are $1/k$th of the total number of totatives up to $n$. They provided criteria in various cases. Here we give an if and only if'' criterion which allows us to recover most of the previous results in this literature and to go beyond, as well to reformulate the problem in terms of combinatorial group theory. Our criterion is that the above holds if and only if for every odd character $\chi \pmod \kappa$ (where $\kappa:=k/\gcd(k,n/\prod_{p|n} p)$) there exists a prime $p=p_\chi$ dividing $n$ for which $\chi(p)=1$.

 Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for the Central Norm to Equal $2^h$ in the Simple Continued Fraction Expansion of $\sqrt{2^hc}$ for Any Odd $c>1$ We look at the simple continued fraction expansion of $\sqrt{D}$ for any $D=2^hc$ where $c>1$ is odd with a goal of determining necessary and sufficient conditions for the central norm (as determined by the infrastructure of the underlying real quadratic order therein) to be $2^h$. At the end of the paper, we also address the case where $D=c$ is odd and the central norm of $\sqrt{D}$ is equal to $2$.

 On the Surjectivity of the Galois Representations Associated to Non-CM Elliptic Curves Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\Q,$ of conductor $N$ and without complex multiplication. For any positive integer $l$, let $\phi_l$ be the Galois representation associated to the $l$-division points of~$E$. From a celebrated 1972 result of Serre we know that $\phi_l$ is surjective for any sufficiently large prime $l$. In this paper we find conditional and unconditional upper bounds in terms of $N$ for the primes $l$ for which $\phi_l$ is {\emph{not}} surjective. Categories:11G05, 11N36, 11R45

 Baker-Type Estimates for Linear Forms in the Values of $q$-Series We obtain lower estimates for the absolute values of linear forms of the values of generalized Heine series at non-zero points of an imaginary quadratic field~$\II$, in particular of the values of $q$-exponential function. These estimates depend on the individual coefficients, not only on the maximum of their absolute values. The proof uses a variant of classical Siegel's method applied to a system of functional Poincar\'e-type equations and the connection between the solutions of these functional equations and the generalized Heine series.
