We prove an analogue of the Prime Number Theorem for short intervals on a smooth projective geometrically irreducible curve of arbitrary genus over a finite field. A short interval "of size E" in this setting is any additive translate of…

We show that every set S in [N]^d occupying less than p^t residue classes for some real number t < d and every prime p, must essentially lie in the solution set of a polynomial equation of degree at most (log N)^C, for some constant C…

We prove an effective equidistribution result for a class of higher step nilflows, called filiform nilflows, and derive bounds on Weyl sums for higher degree polynomials with a power saving comparable to the best known, derived by J.…

We study the distribution of a subclass congruent elliptic curve $E^{(n)}: y^2=x^3-n^2x$, where $n$ is congruent to $1\pmod 8$ with all prime factors congruent to $1\pmod 4$. We prove an independence of residue symbol property. Consequently…

Our purpose is to give an account of the $r$-tuple problem on the increasing sequence of reduced fractions having denominators bounded by a certain size and belonging to a fixed real interval. We show that when the size grows to infinity,…

We prove that, if $x$ and $q\leqslant x^{1/16}$ are two parameters, then for any invertible residue class $a$ modulo $q$ there exists a product of exactly three primes, each one below $x^{1/3}$, that is congruent to $a$ modulo $q$.

Given a subset $\mathcal{S}\subseteq \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ and fixed integers $n,m\in \mathbb{N}$, we study the distribution of the smallest denominator $Q\in \mathcal{S}$ for which there exists $\mathbf{P}\in \mathbb{F}_q[x]^m$ such that…

This paper helps explain the prevalence of soluble groups among the automorphism groups of regular maps (at least for `small' genus), by showing that every non-perfect hyperbolic ordinary triangle group $\Delta^+(p,q,r) = \langle\, x,y \ |…

For a fixed polynomial $\Delta$, we study the number of polynomials $f$ of degree $n$ over $\mathbb F_q$ such that $f$ and $f+\Delta$ are both irreducible, an $\mathbb F_q[T]$-analogue of the twin primes problem. In the large-$q$ limit, we…

Let $\Mmm$ denote the set of $\mm$ matrices with complex entries, and let $\calG(\partial_1,...,\partial_n)$ be an $\mm$ matrix whose entries are partial differential operators on $\Rn$ with constant complex coefficients. It is proved that…

We prove that the sequence $n!\,(\bmod\,p)$ occupies at least $\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}N}$ residue classes in the short interval $H\le n \le H+N$ and $N\gg p^{\frac{1}{4}}$ improving previously known trivial bound $\sqrt{N}.$ In the other…

A classical result due to Deshouillers, Dress and Tenenbaum asserts that on average the distribution of the divisors of the integers follows the arcsine law. In this paper, we investigate the distribution of smooth divisors of the integers,…

We investigate the distributional properties of the sequence of Farey fractions with $k$-free denominators in residue classes, defined as \[\mathscr{F}_{Q,k}^{(m)}:=\left\{\frac{a}{q}\ |\ 1\leq a\leq q\leq Q,\ \gcd(a,q)=1,\ q\ \text{is}\…

We establish effective equidistribution theorems, with a polynomial error rate, for orbits of unipotent subgroups in quotients of quasi-split, almost simple Linear algebraic groups of absolute rank 2. As an application, inspired by the…

In this paper we show that for some constant $c>0$ and for any $A>0$ there exist some $x(A)>0$ such that, If $q\leq (\log x)^{A}$ then we have \begin{align} \Psi_z(x;\mathcal{N}_q(a,b),q) &= \frac{\Theta (z)}{2\phi(q)}x +…

We investigate the problem of showing that the values of a given polynomial are smooth (i.e., have no large prime factors) a positive proportion of the time. Although some results exist that bound the number of smooth values of a polynomial…

We study the distribution of consecutive sums of two squares in arithmetic progressions. If $\{E_n\}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is the sequence of sums of two squares in increasing order, we show that for any modulus $q$ and any congruence classes…

Weyl's classical equidistribution theorem states that real-valued polynomial sequences are uniformly distributed modulo 1, unless all non-constant coefficients are rational. A continuous function between two topological groups is called a…

We extend a result due to Bourgain on the uniform distribution of residues by proving that subsets of the type $f(I)\cdot H$ is equidistributed (as $p$ tends to infinity) where $f$ is a polynomial, $I$ is an interval of $\Fp$ and $H$ is an…
