报告摘要:Let n be an integer. More than one hundred years ago, Theisinger proved that the n-th harmonic sum 1+1/2+...+1/n is an integer if and only if n=1. Eight years later, Nagell extended Theisinger's theorem from the sequence of positive integers to general arithmetic progressions by showing that if a and b are positive integers and n≥ 2, then the reciprocal sum \sum_{i=0}^{n-1}\frac{1}{a+bi} is an integer if and only if n=a=1. Consequently, Erdos and Niven generalized Nagell's theorem by establishing a similar result on the integrality of the elementary symmetric functions of 1/a,1/(a+b), ..., 1/(a+(n-1)b). In the recent years, Erdos and Niven's result was extended by some authors including the speaker to arbitrary nonnegative integer coefficients polynomial sequences. In this talk, we will speak about recent progresses on this interesting topic.
