    Euler-Zagier Sums Via Trigonometric Series
    (Publishing House of the Romanian Academy, 2023) Çam Çelik, Şermin; Göral, Haydar
    In this note, we study the evaluations of Euler sums via trigonometric series. It is a commonly believed conjecture that for an even weight greater than seven, Euler sums cannot be evaluated in terms of the special values of the Riemann zeta function. For an even weight, we reduce the evaluations of Euler sums into the evaluations of double series and integrals of products of Clausen functions. We also re-evaluate Euler sums of odd weight using a new method based on trigonometric series.

    On Classification of Sequences Containing Arbitrarily Long Arithmetic Progressions
    (World Scientific Publishing, 2023) Cam Çelik, Şermin; Eyidoğan, Sadık; Göral, Haydar; Sertbaş, Doğa Can
    In this paper, we study the classification of sequences containing arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions. First, we deal with the question how the polynomial map n(s) can be extended so that it contains arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions. Under some growth conditions, we construct sequences which contain arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions. Also, we give a uniform and explicit arithmetic progression rank bound for a large class of sequences. Consequently, a dichotomy result is deduced on the finiteness of the arithmetic progression rank of certain sequences. Therefore, in this paper, we see a way to determine the finiteness of the arithmetic progression rank of various sequences satisfying some growth conditions.

    Irreducibility and Primality in Differentiability Classes
    (Michigan State University Press, 2023) Batal, Ahmet; Eyidoğan, S.; Göral, Haydar
    In this note, we give criteria for the irreducibility of functions in Cm [0, 1], where m ∈ {1, 2, 3, ...} ∪ {∞} ∪ {ω}. We also discuss irreducibility in multivariable differentiability classes. Moreover, we characterize irreducible functions and maximal ideals in C∞ [0, 1]. In fact, irreducible and prime smooth functions are the same, and every maximal ideal of C∞ [0, 1] is principal. © 2023 Michigan State University Press. All rights reserved.

    Class Number and the Special Values of L-Functions
    (Romanian Academy, 2022) Göral, Haydar
    We give infinitely many explicit new representations of the class number of imag inary quadratic fields in terms of certain trigonometric series. Our result relies on a hybrid between power series and trigonometric series. Furthermore, in some cases we prove that the special values of Dirichlet L-functions can be evaluated as certain finite sums.

    The Green-Tao Theorem and the Infinitude of Primes in Domains
    (Taylor & Francis, 2022) Göral, Haydar; Özcan, Hikmet Burak; Sertbaş, Doğa Can
    We first prove an elementary analogue of the Green-Tao Theorem. The celebrated Green-Tao Theorem states that there are arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions in the set of prime numbers. In fact, we show the Green-Tao Theorem for polynomial rings over integral domains with several variables. Using the Generalized Polynomial van der Waerden Theorem, we also prove that in an infinite unique factorization domain, if the cardinality of the set of units is strictly less than that of the domain, then there are infinitely many prime elements. Moreover, we deduce the infinitude of prime numbers in the positive integers using polynomial progressions of length three. In addition, using unit equations, we provide two more proofs of the infinitude of prime numbers. Finally, we give a new proof of the divergence of the sum of reciprocals of all prime numbers.

    Lehmer’s Conjecture Via Model Theory
    (Japan Academy, 2022) Göral, Haydar
    In this short note, we study Lehmer's conjecture in terms of stability theory. We state Bounded Lehmer's conjecture, and we prove that if a certain formula is uniformly stable in a class of structures, then Bounded Lehmer's conjecture holds. Our proof is based on Van der Waerden's theorem from additive combinatorics

    Parity, Virtual Closure and Minimality of Knotoids
    (World Scientific Publishing, 2021) Güğümcü, Neslihan; Kauffman, Louis H.
    In this paper, we study parity in planar and spherical knotoids in relation to virtual knots. We introduce a planar version of the parity bracket polynomial for planar knotoids. We show that the virtual closure map (a map from the set of knotoids in S-2 to the set of virtual knots of genus at most one) is not surjective, by utilizing the surface bracket polynomial of virtual knots. We give specific examples of virtual knots that are not in the image of the virtual closure map. Turaev conjectured that minimal diagrams of knot-type knotoids have zero height. We prove this conjecture by using the results of Nikonov and Manturov induced by parities of virtual knots.

    Rings Whose Nonsingular Right Modules Are R-Projective
    (Mathematical Institute of Charles University, 2021) Alagöz, Yusuf; Benli Göral, Sinem; Büyükaşık, Engin
    A right R-module M is called R-projective provided that it is projective relative to the right R-module R-R. This paper deals with the rings whose all nonsingular right modules are R-projective. For a right nonsingular ring R, we prove that R-R is of finite Goldie rank and all nonsingular right R-modules are R-projective if and only if R is right finitely Sigma-CS and fiat right R-modules are R-projective. Then, R-projectivity of the class of nonsingular injective right modules is also considered. Over right nonsingular rings of finite right Goldie rank, it is shown that R-projectivity of nonsingular injective right modules is equivalent to R-projectivity of the injective hull E(R-R). In this case, the injective hull E(R-R) has the decomposition E(R-R) = U-R circle plus V-R, where U is projective and Hom(V, R/I) = 0 for each right ideal I of R. Finally, we focus on the right orthogonal class N-perpendicular to of the class IV of nonsingular right modules.

    Biquandle Brackets and Knotoids
    (World Scientific Publishing, 2021) Güğümcü, Neslihan; Nelson, Sam; Oyamaguchi, Natsumi
    Biquandle brackets are a type of quantum enhancement of the biquandle counting invariant for oriented knots and links, defined by a set of skein relations with coefficients which are functions of biquandle colors at a crossing. In this paper, we use biquandle brackets to enhance the biquandle counting matrix invariant defined by the first two authors in (N. Gügümcü and S. Nelson, Biquandle coloring invariants of knotoids, J. Knot Theory Ramif. 28(4) (2019) 1950029). We provide examples to illustrate the method of calculation and to show that the new invariants are stronger than the previous ones. As an application we show that the trace of the biquandle bracket matrix is an invariant of the virtual closure of a knotoid.

    Dedekind Harmonic Numbers
    (Indian Academy of Sciences, 2021) Altuntaş, Çağatay; Göral, Haydar
    For any number field, we define Dedekind harmonic numbers with respect to this number field. First, we show that they are not integers except finitely many of them. Then, we present a uniform and an explicit version of this result for quadratic number fields. Moreover, by assuming the Riemann hypothesis for Dedekind zeta functions, we prove that the difference of two Dedekind harmonic numbers are not integers after a while if we have enough terms, and we prove the non-integrality of Dedekind harmonic numbers for quadratic number fields in another uniform way together with an asymptotic result.
