A prime sensitive Hankel determinant of Jacobi symbol enumerators

چکیده
Abstract We show that the determinant of a Hankel matrix of odd dimension n whose entries are the enumerators of the Jacobi symbols which depend on the row and the column indices vanishes iff n is composite. If the dimension is a prime p, then the determinant evaluates to a polynomial of degree p−1 which is the product of a power of p and the generating polynomial of the partial sums of Legendre symbols. The sign of the determinant is determined by the quadratic character of −1 modulo p. The proof of the evaluation makes use of elementary properties of Legendre symbols, quadratic Gauss sums and orthogonality of trigonometric functions.

Painlevé VI and Hankel determinants for the generalized Jacobi Weight
We study the Hankel determinant of the generalized Jacobi weight (x − t)x(1 − x) for x ∈ [0, 1] with α, β > 0, t < 0 and γ ∈ R. Based on the ladder operators for the corresponding monic orthogonal polynomials Pn(x), it is shown that the logarithmic derivative of Hankel determinant is characterized by a τ -function for the Painlevé VI system.
متن کاملMass formula for various generalized weight enumerators of binary self-dual codes
In this paper we give extensions of the mass formula for biweight enumerators and the Jacobi weight enumerators of binary self-dual codes and binary doubly even self-dual codes. For binary doubly even self-dual codes, our formula is expressed in terms of the root system E8 embedded in C4 for biweight enumerators, while the root system D4 is employed for Jacobi weight enumerators. For self-dual ...
متن کاملPerturbed Hankel determinants
In this paper, we compute, for large n, the determinant of a class of n×nHankel matrices, which arise from a smooth perturbation of the Jacobi weight. For this purpose, we employ the same idea used in previous papers, where the unknown determinant Dn[wα,βh] is compared with the known determinant Dn[wα,β]. Here wα,β is the Jacobi weight and wα,βh, where h = h(x), x ∈ [−1, 1], is strictly positiv...
متن کاملHankel Determinants of Eisenstein Series
Abstract. In this paper we prove Garvan’s conjectured formula for the square of the modular discriminant ∆ as a 3 by 3 Hankel determinant of classical Eisenstein series E2n. We then obtain similar formulas involving minors of Hankel determinants for E2r∆, for m = 1, 2, 3 and r = 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and E14∆. We next use Mathematica to discover, and then the standard structure theory of the ring of m...
متن کاملThe Jacobi Symbol
is only defined when the bottom is an odd prime. You can extend the definition to allow an odd positive number on the bottom using the Jacobi symbol. Most of the properties of Legendre symbols go through for Jacobi symbols, which makes Jacobi symbols very convenient for computation. We’ll see, however, that there is a price to pay for the greater generality: Euler’s formula no longer works,...
