We announce misère-play solutions to several previously-unsolved combinatorial games. The solutions are described in terms of misère quotients—commutative monoids that encode the additive structure of specific misère-play games. We also introduce several advances in the structure theory of misère quotients, including a connection between the combinatorial structure of normal and misère play.

We investigate the modular group as a finitely presented group. It has a large collection of interesting quotients. In 1987 Conder substantially identified the onerelator quotients of the modular group which are defined using representatives of the 300 inequivalent extra relators with length up to 24. We study all such quotients where the extra relator has length up to 36. Up to equivalence, th...

We investigate two arithmetic functions naturally occurring in the study of the Euler and Carmichael quotients. The functions are related to the frequency of vanishing of the Euler and Carmichael quotients. We obtain several results concerning the relations between these functions as well as their typical and extreme values.

A bipartite monoid is a commutative monoid Q together with an identified subset P ⊂ Q. In this paper we study a class of bipartite monoids, known as misère quotients, that are naturally associated to impartial combinatorial games. We introduce a structure theory for misère quotients with |P| = 2, and give a complete classification of all such quotients up to isomorphism. One consequence is that...

An eta-quotient of levelN is a modular form of the shape f(z) = ∏ δ|N η(δz) rδ . We study the problem of determining levels N for which the graded ring of holomorphic modular forms for Γ0(N) is generated by (holomorphic, respectively weakly holomorphic) eta-quotients of level N . In addition, we prove that if f(z) is a holomorphic modular form that is nonvanishing on the upper half plane and ha...

Precipitation estimates derived from the Eta model and from TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission) and CHIRPS (Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data) remotely sensed data were compared to the precipitation data of the INMET (National Institute of Meteorology) meteorological stations in the south-southeast region of Minas Gerais state, Brazil, in the period between J...

We study the asymptotics of the heat trace Tr{fPe 2 } where P is an operator of Dirac type, where f is an auxiliary smooth smearing function which is used to localize the problem, and where we impose spectral boundary conditions. Using functorial techniques and special case calculations, the boundary part of the leading coefficients in the asymptotic expansion is found.
