We discuss two different systems of number representations that both can be called base 3/2. We explain how they are connected. Unlike classical fractional extension, these two systems provide a finite representation for integers. We also discuss a connection between these systems and 3-free sequences.
We discuss properties of integers in base 3/2. We also introduce many new sequences related to base 3/2. Some sequences discuss patterns related to integers in base 3/2. Other sequence are analogues of famous base-10 sequences: we discuss powers of 3
and 2, Look-and-say, and sorted and reverse sorted Fibonaccis. The eventual behavior of sorted and reverse sorted Fibs leads to special Pinocchio and Oihcconip sequences respectively.
We delve into the connection between base $frac{3}{2}$ and the greedy partition of non-negative integers into 3-free sequences. Specifically, we find a fractal structure on strings written with digits 0, 1, and 2. We use this structure to prove that
the even non-negative integers written in base $frac{3}{2}$ and then interpreted in base 3 form the Stanley cross-sequence, where the Stanley cross-sequence comprises the first terms of the infinitely many sequences that are formed by the greedy partition of non-negative integers into 3-free sequences.
We give a characterization of all matrices $A,B,C in mathbb{F}_{2}^{m times m}$ which generate a $(0,m,3)$-net in base $2$ and a characterization of all matrices $B,Cinmathbb{F}_{2}^{mathbb{N}timesmathbb{N}}$ which generate a $(0,2)$-sequence in base $2$.
Let $pequiv 1,(mathrm{mod},9)$ be a prime number and $zeta_3$ be a primitive cube root of unity. Then $mathrm{k}=mathbb{Q}(sqrt[3]{p},zeta_3)$ is a pure metacyclic field with group $mathrm{Gal}(mathrm{k}/mathbb{Q})simeq S_3$. In the case that $mathrm
{k}$ possesses a $3$-class group $C_{mathrm{k},3}$ of type $(9,3)$, the capitulation of $3$-ideal classes of $mathrm{k}$ in its unramified cyclic cubic extensions is determined, and conclusions concerning the maximal unramified pro-$3$-extension $mathrm{k}_3^{(infty)}$ of $mathrm{k}$ are drawn.
In the spirit of Lehmers unresolved speculation on the nonvanishing of Ramanujans tau-function, it is natural to ask whether a fixed integer is a value of $tau(n)$ or is a Fourier coefficient $a_f(n)$ of any given newform $f(z)$. We offer a method, w
hich applies to newforms with integer coefficients and trivial residual mod 2 Galois representation, that answers this question for odd integers. We determine infinitely many spaces for which the primes $3leq ellleq 37$ are not absolute values of coefficients of newforms with integer coefficients. For $tau(n)$ with $n>1$, we prove that $$tau(n) ot in {pm 1, pm 3, pm 5, pm 7, pm 13, pm 17, -19, pm 23, pm 37, pm 691},$$ and assuming GRH we show for primes $ell$ that $$tau(n) ot in left { pm ell : 41leq ellleq 97 {textrm{with}} left(frac{ell}{5}right)=-1right} cup left { -11, -29, -31, -41, -59, -61, -71, -79, -89right}. $$ We also obtain sharp lower bounds for the number of prime factors of such newform coefficients. In the weight aspect, for powers of odd primes $ell$, we prove that $pm ell^m$ is not a coefficient of any such newform $f$ with weight $2k>M^{pm}(ell,m)=O_{ell}(m)$ and even level coprime to $ell,$ where $M^{pm}(ell,m)$ is effectively computable.
