The distribution of binomial coefficients in residue classes modulo prime powers and with respect to the p-adic valuation is studied. For this purpose, general asymptotic results for arithmetic functions depending on blocks of digits with respect to q-ary expansions are established.

AbstractThe spatial distribution of binomial coefficients in residue classes modulo prime powers is studied. It is proved inter alia that empirical distribution of the points (k,m)p−m with 0 ≤ k ≤ n < pm and $\left( {\matrix{n \cr k \cr } } \right) \equiv a\left( {\bmod \;p} \right)^s $ (for (a, p) = 1) for m→∞ tends to the Hausdorff measure on the “p-adic Sierpiński gasket”, a fractals studied earlier by von Haeseler, Peitgen, and Skordev.

Abstract We study the geometry associated to the distribution of certain arithmetic functions, including the von Mangoldt function and the Möbius function, in short intervals of polynomials over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. Using the Grothendieck–Lefschetz trace formula, we reinterpret each moment of these distributions as a point-counting problem on a highly singular complete intersection variety. We compute part of the ℓ-adic cohomology of these varieties, corresponding to an asymptotic bound on each moment for fixed degree n in the limit as $q \to \infty $. The results of this paper can be viewed as a geometric explanation for asymptotic results that can be proved using analytic number theory over function fields.

We consider the fractal matrix which describes the divisibility properties of the coefficients of the Legendre polynomials by prime powers, and derive a block matrix substitution system that generates it. Central in the development is a similar substitution for a particular matrix of binomial coefficients.

New laconic proofs of two classical statements of combinatorics are proposed, computational aspects of binomial coefficients are considered, and examples of their application to problems of elementary mathematics are given.

Let $K$ be any finite field. For any prime $p$, the $p$-adic valuation map is given by $\psi_{p}:K/\{0\} \to \R^+\bigcup\{0\}$ is given by $\psi_{p}(r) = n$ where $r = p^n \frac{a}{b}$, where $p,a,b$ are relatively prime. The field $K$ together with a valuation is called valued field. Also, any field $K$ has the trivial valuation determined by $\psi{(K)} = \{0,1\}$. Through out the paper K represents $\Z_q$. In this paper, we construct the graph corresponding to the valuation map called the valued field graph, denoted by $VFG_{p}(\Z_{q})$ whose vertex set is $\{v_0,v_1,v_2,\ldots, v_{q-1}\}$ where two vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$ are adjacent if $\psi_{p}(i) = j$ or $\psi_{p}(j) = i$. Here, we tried to characterize the valued field graph in $\Z_q$. Also we analyse various graph theoretical parameters such as diameter, independence number etc.
