The binary-representation conjecture for fractional parts of binomial coefficients
The binary-representation conjecture for fractional parts of binomial coefficients
Let be a prime, let , and let be the standard base- representation of . Let . Write for the leading digit in the base- representation of , let denote the number of zeros in the standard binary representation of , and let be the unique integer with and . Binary-representation conjecture. The quantity
is odd if and only if
for some . This criterion is intended to determine the fractional part of from the binary representation of ; its resolution is not given here.
