Let $a_1,\ldots,a_n$ be distinct, positive integers with $(a_1,\ldots,a_n)=1$, and let k be an arbitrary field. Let $H(a_1,\ldots,a_n;z)$ denote the Hilbert series of the graded algebra k$[t^{a_1},t^{a_2},\ldots,t^{a_n}]$. We show that, when $n=3$, this rational function has a simple expression in terms of $a_1,a_2,a_3$; in particular, the numerator has at most six terms. By way of contrast, it is known that no such expression exists for any $n\geq4$.

Let $b_{\ell;3}(n)$ denote the number of $\ell$-regular partitions of $n$ in 3 colours. In this paper, we find some general generating functions and new infinite families of congruences modulo arbitrary powers of $3$ when $\ell\in\{9,27\}$. For instance, for positive integers $n$ and $k$, we have\begin{align*}b_{9;3}\left(3^k\cdot n+3^k-1\right)&\equiv0~\left(\textup{mod}~3^{2k}\right),\\b_{27;3}\left(3^{2k+3}\cdot n+\dfrac{3^{2k+4}-13}{4}\right)&\equiv0~\left(\textup{mod}~3^{2k+5}\right).\end{align*}

Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be positive integers such that [Formula: see text], and let [Formula: see text] be the Grassmannian which consists of the set of [Formula: see text]-dimensional subspaces of [Formula: see text]. There is a [Formula: see text]-graded algebra isomorphism between the cohomology [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] and a natural [Formula: see text]-form [Formula: see text] of the [Formula: see text]-graded basic algebra of the type [Formula: see text] cyclotomic nilHecke algebra [Formula: see text]. We show that the isomorphism can be chosen such that the image of each (geometrically defined) Schubert class [Formula: see text] coincides with the basis element [Formula: see text] constructed by Hu and Liang by purely algebraic method, where [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] for each [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] is the [Formula: see text]-multipartition of [Formula: see text] associated to [Formula: see text]. A similar correspondence between the Schubert class basis of the cohomology of the Grassmannian [Formula: see text] and the [Formula: see text]'s basis ([Formula: see text] is an [Formula: see text]-multipartition of [Formula: see text] with each component being either [Formula: see text] or empty) of the natural [Formula: see text]-form [Formula: see text] of the [Formula: see text]-graded basic algebra of [Formula: see text] is also obtained. As an application, we obtain a second version of the Giambelli formula for Schubert classes.

The mathematics of juggling emerged after the development of siteswap notation in the 1980s. Consequently, much work was done to establish a mathematical theory that describes and enumerates the patterns that a juggler can (or would want to) execute. More recently, mathematicians have provided a broader picture of juggling sequences as an infinite set possessing properties similar to the set of positive integers. This theoretical framework moves beyond the physical possibilities of juggling and instead seeks more general mathematical results, such as an enumeration of juggling patterns with a fixed period and arbitrary number of balls. One problem unresolved until now is the enumeration of primitive juggling sequences, those fundamental juggling patterns that are analogous to the set of prime numbers. By applying analytic techniques to previously-known generating functions, we give asymptotic counting theorems for primitive juggling sequences, much as the prime number theorem gives asymptotic counts for the prime positive integers.

A large number of generating functions for permutation statistics can be obtained by applying homomorphisms to simple symmetric function identities. In particular, a large number of generating functions involving the number of descents of a permutation $\sigma$, $des(\sigma)$, arise in this way. For any given finite set $S$ of positive integers, we develop a method to produce similar generating functions for the set of permutations of the symmetric group $S_n$ whose descent set contains $S$. Our method will be to apply certain homomorphisms to symmetric function identities involving ribbon Schur functions.

The formula for the sums of powers of positive integers, given by Faulhaber in 1631, is proven by using trigonometric identities and some properties of the Bernoulli polynomials. Using trigonometric functions identities and generating functions for some well-known special numbers and polynomials, many novel formulas and relations including alternating sums of powers of positive integers, the Bernoulli polynomials and numbers, the Euler polynomials and numbers, the Fubini numbers, the Stirling numbers, the tangent numbers are also given. Moreover, by applying the Riemann integral and p-adic integrals involving the fermionic p-adic integral and the Volkenborn integral, some new identities and combinatorial sums related to the aforementioned numbers and polynomials are derived. Furthermore, we serve up some revealing and historical remarks and observations on the results of this paper.

For positive integers $t_{1},\ldots ,t_{k}$, let $\tilde{p}(n,t_{1},t_{2},\ldots ,t_{k})$ (respectively $p(n,t_{1},t_{2},\ldots ,t_{k})$) be the number of partitions of $n$ such that, if $m$ is the smallest part, then each of $m+t_{1},m+t_{1}+t_{2},\ldots ,m+t_{1}+t_{2}+\cdots +t_{k-1}$ appears as a part and the largest part is at most (respectively equal to) $m+t_{1}+t_{2}+\cdots +t_{k}$. Andrews et al. [‘Partitions with fixed differences between largest and smallest parts’, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc.143 (2015), 4283–4289] found an explicit formula for the generating function of $p(n,t_{1},t_{2},\ldots ,t_{k})$. We establish a $q$-series identity from which the formulae for the generating functions of $\tilde{p}(n,t_{1},t_{2},\ldots ,t_{k})$ and $p(n,t_{1},t_{2},\ldots ,t_{k})$ can be obtained.

We study sums of the form $\sum_\zeta R(\zeta)$, where $R$ is a rational function and the sum is over all $n$th roots of unity $\zeta$ (often with $\zeta =1$ excluded). We call these generalized Dedekind sums, since the most well-known sums of this form are Dedekind sums. We discuss three methods for evaluating such sums: The method of factorization applies if we have an explicit formula for $\prod_\zeta (1-xR(\zeta))$. Multisection can be used to evaluate some simple, but important sums. Finally, the method of partial fractions reduces the evaluation of arbitrary generalized Dedekind sums to those of a very simple form.
