Consider the following series, where k and r are positive integers (and r is strictly greater than 1). Here Li_-k is a polylogarithm.   We shall pose the following question: For what values of k and r is Q(r, k) an integer?   It … Continue reading →

Collaborative mathematics tends to be extremely fruitful. This is epitomised by the recent ‘polymath’ projects, culminating in a nice proof of density Hales-Jewett along with the frighteningly impressive results on bounded gaps between primes. On a much smaller scale, several … Continue reading →
