✦ Synopsis
In the first part of the paper we study arithmetical properties of Pascal triangles module a prime power; the main result is the generalization of Lucas' theorem. Then we investigate the structure (N; B,.), where p is a prime, a is an integer greater than one, and B,.(x, ~1) = Rem((":'), p"); it is shown that addition is first-order definable in this structure, and that its elementary theory is decidable.

Let H be a separable infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space and let A B ∈ B H , where B H is the algebra of operators on H into itself. Let δ A B B H → B H denote the generalized derivation δ AB X = AX -XB. This note considers the relationship between the commutant of an operator and the commuta
