Studying theory of partitions, I come across many natural and exotic definitions. Cylindric partitions is one of those that is both. I don’t know how but it somehow is. Informally cylindric partitions encodes information about non-intersecting lattice walks and that is clearly natural. However, it… Read More

Prove One, Get Infinitely Many Free!
This is a better deal than any deal you can find on the market. Bailey’s lemma is an amazing tool. At its core it is a really simple observation but in practice it is a beast. I can (and will) state the actual lemma and… Read More
Reflecting (on) the Kanade-Russell conjectures
I want to write a short note on the Kanade-Russell conjectures especially concerning their brief history and my involvement with them. This comes right after my new manuscript titled “Reflecting (on) the modulo 9 Kanade-Russell (conjectural) identities” with Wadim Zudilin. Long story way too short,… Read More

Where do the Maximum Absolute q-series Coefficients of (q;q)_n occur?
Dedicated to the MACH2 group, in particular to Prof. Wolfgang Schreiner and Johann Messner. In mathematics research, some questions are too easy to ask that one cannot help but feel amazed when the answers to these questions are nowhere to be found. The title is… Read More
15 minute mathematics advice /w Wadim Zudilin
Wadim is a great matematician and a great inspiration. I am lucky to know him. He is always enthusiastic about mathematics and full of new ideas. In this chat I tried to get some insight of what he likes so much about this field. I… Read More
15 minute mathematics advice /w Christian Krattenthaler
Another amazing researcher with an incredible list of accomplishments. I caught him at the SLC 85 conference and had a nice chat. I think we need a second part of this interview because I couldn’t even cover half the topics I’d like to. I know… Read More
AMS Special Session on Experimental and Computer Assisted Mathematics
Joint Mathematics Meetings 2020, Denver CO Here is the pdf version. I love the Joint Mathematics Meetings. I was fortunate to be invited for these meetings 5 times so far and I get to be there for 4 of these events. For me it… Read More
15 minute mathematics advice /w Alexander Berkovich
My own advisor! I have learned a lot from him. He is my biggest collaborator, an amazing theoretical physicist turned mathematician. It is a privilege to know him and definitely a great feeling to be sharing some of his wisdom with you all. I hope… Read More
