Frobenius Alexander quandles, knot colorings, and isogeny classes of abelian varieties over finite fields

We introduce the notion of Frobenius Alexander quandles associated with abelian varieties over finite fields, and study them from both knot-theoretic and arithmetic viewpoints. We determine exactly for which rational primes a knot admits a nonconstant coloring by these quandles, in terms of the resultant of its Alexander polynomial and the Frobenius characteristic polynomial of the abelian variety. This leads to the notion of persistent colorability and its characterization, as well as applications to fibered knots and knots of small genus. We also prove a rigidity result showing that the isomorphism class of a Frobenius Alexander quandle determines the similarity class of the Frobenius endomorphism on the corresponding torsion subgroup. As a consequence, one sufficiently large Frobenius Alexander quandle determines the characteristic polynomial of the Frobenius endomorphism, and hence, determines the isogeny class of the abelian variety over the given finite base field.

The Frobenius problem for Numerical Semigroups generated by binomial coefficients

The greatest integer that does not belong to a numerical semigroup $S$ is called the Frobenius number of $S$, and finding the Frobenius number is called the Frobenius problem. In this paper, we solve the Frobenius problem for the numerical semigroups generated by binomial coefficients. As applications, we provide some nontrivial identities among binomial coefficients, and we also connect the main results to the theory of $(s,s+1,s+p)$-core partitions of integers.

On the integer part of the reciprocal of the Riemann zeta function tail at certain rational numbers in the critical strip

We prove that the integer part of the reciprocal of the tail of $ζ(s)$ at a rational number $s=\frac{1}{p}$ for any integer with $p \geq 5$ or $s=\frac{2}{p}$ for any odd integer with $p \geq 5$ can be described essentially as the integer part of an explicit quantity corresponding to it. To deal with the case when $s=\frac{2}{p},$ we use a result on the finiteness of integral points of certain curves over $\mathbb{Q}$.

On a generalized $k$-FL sequence and its applications

We introduce a generalized $k$-FL sequence and special kind of pairs of real numbers that are related to it, and give an application on the integral solutions of a certain equation using those pairs. Also, we associate skew circulant and circulant matrices to each generalized $k$-FL sequence, and study the determinantal variety of those matrices as an application.
