In this paper we study two functions $F(x)$ and $J(x)$, originally found by Herglotz in 1923 and later rediscovered and used by one of the authors in connection with the Kronecker limit formula for real quadratic fields. We discuss many interesting properties of these functions, including special values at rational or quadratic irrational arguments as rational linear combinations of dilogarithms and products of logarithms, functional equations coming from Hecke operators, and connections with Starks conjecture. We also discuss connections with 1-cocycles for the modular group $mathrm{PSL}(2,mathbb{Z})$.

The generalized Fibonacci sequences are sequences ${f_n}$ which satisfy the recurrence $f_n(s, t) = sf_{n - 1}(s, t) + tf_{n - 2}(s, t)$ ($s, t in mathbb{Z}$) with initial conditions $f_0(s, t) = 0$ and $f_1(s, t) = 1$. In a recent paper, Amdeberhan, Chen, Moll, and Sagan considered some arithmetic properites of the generalized Fibonacci sequence. Specifically, they considered the behavior of analogues of the $p$-adic valuation and the Riemann zeta function. In this paper, we resolve some conjectures which they raised relating to these topics. We also consider the rank modulo $n$ in more depth and find an interpretation of the rank in terms of the order of an element in the multiplicative group of a finite field when $n$ is an odd prime. Finally, we study the distribution of the rank over different values of $s$ when $t = -1$ and suggest directions for further study involving the rank modulo prime powers of generalized Fibonacci sequences.
The modified Bernoulli numbers begin{equation*} B_{n}^{*} = sum_{r=0}^{n} binom{n+r}{2r} frac{B_{r}}{n+r}, quad n > 0 end{equation*} introduced by D. Zagier in 1998 were recently extended to the polynomial case by replacing $B_{r}$ by the Bernoulli polynomials $B_{r}(x)$. Arithmetic properties of the coefficients of these polynomials are established. In particular, the 2-adic valuation of the modified Bernoulli numbers is determined. A variety of analytic, umbral, and asymptotic methods is used to analyze these polynomials.
In the 1990s, J.H. Conway published a combinatorial-geometric method for analyzing integer-valued binary quadratic forms (BQFs). Using a visualization he named the topograph, Conway revisited the reduction of BQFs and the solution of quadratic Diophantine equations such as Pells equation. It appears that the crux of his method is the coincidence between the arithmetic group $PGL_2({mathbb Z})$ and the Coxeter group of type $(3,infty)$. There are many arithmetic Coxeter groups, and each may have unforeseen applications to arithmetic. We introduce Conways topograph, and generalizations to other arithmetic Coxeter groups. This includes a study of arithmetic flags and variants of binary quadratic forms.
We study arithmetic distribution relations and the inverse function theorem in algebraic and arithmetic geometry, with an emphasis
In this short, we study sums of the shape $sum_{nleqslant x}{f([x/n])}/{[x/n]},$ where $f$ is Euler totient function $varphi$, Dedekind function $Psi$, sum-of-divisors function $sigma$ or the alternating sum-of-divisors function $beta.$ We improve previous results when $f=varphi$ and derive new estimates when $f=Psi, f=sigma$ and $f=beta.$
