On nondegenerate $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$-harmonic $1$-forms with shrinking branching sets
We develop a gluing theorem for non-degenerate $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$-harmonic $1$-forms on compact manifolds, in which non-degenerate $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$-harmonic $1$-forms on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ are glued to the regular zeros of a non-degenerate $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$-harmonic $1$-form. As an immediate consequence, viewing an ordinary harmonic $1$-form as a $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$-harmonic $1$-form without branching set, we prove that for every compact manifold $M^{n}, n\geq 3$, if the first Betti number $b^{1}(M)>0$…

On the decimal digits of $1/p$
Let $p$ be a prime $\equiv 3$ mod 4, $p>3$, and suppose that 10 has the order $(p-1)/2$ mod p. Then $1/p$ has a decimal period of length $(p-1)/2$. We express the frequency of each digit $0,\LD,9$ in this period in terms of the class numbers of two imaginary quadratic number fields. We also exhibit certain analogues of this result, so for the case that 10 is a primitive root mod $p$ and for octal digits of $1/p$.
