It is the purpose of this thesis to enunciate and prove a collection of explicit results in the theory of prime numbers. First, the problem of primes in short intervals is considered. We prove that there is a prime between consecutive cubes…

We study the limiting distributions of expanding translates of a compact segment of a smooth curve under a diagonal subgroup of $G=\mathrm{SO}(n_1,1)\times\cdots\times\mathrm{SO}(n_k,1)$, where $G$ acts on a finite volume homogeneous space…

Let $\ell$ be prime, and $K$ be a number field containing the $\ell$-th roots of unity. We use classical algebraic number theory and some analytic techniques to prove that the Steinitz classes of $\mathbb Z/\ell\mathbb Z$ extensions of $K$…

We give a new proof of Moeckel's result that for any finite index subgroup of the modular group, almost every real number has its regular continued fraction approximants equidistributed into the cusps of the subgroup according to the…

H. Weyl proved in \cite{Weyl} that integer evaluations of polynomials are equidistributed mod 1 whenever at least one of the non-free coefficients is irrational. We use Weyl's result to prove a higher dimensional analogue of this fact.…

We define a new congruence relation on the set of integers, leading to a group similar to the multiplicative group of integers modulo $n$. It makes use of a symmetry almost omnipresent in modular multiplications and halves the number of…

This paper presents results about the distribution of subsequences which are typical in the sense of Baire. The first part is concerned with sequences of the type x_k = n_k*alpha, n_1 < n_2 < n_3 < ..., mod 1. Improving a result of Salat we…

A classical theorem in continued fractions due to Serret shows that for any two irrational numbers x and y related by a transformation $\gamma$ in PGL(2,Z) there exist s and t for which the complete quotients x_s and y_t coincide. In this…

We prove distribution estimates for primes in arithmetic progressions to large smooth squarefree moduli, with respect to congruence classes obeying Chinese Remainder Theorem conditions, obtaining an exponent of distribution $\frac{1}{2} +…

Consider $G=\SL_{ d }(\mathbb R)$ and $ \Gamma=\SL_{ d }(\mathbb Z)$. It was recently shown by the second-named author \cite{s} that for some diagonal subgroups $\{g_t\}\subset G$ and unipotent subgroups $U\subset G$, $g_t$-trajectories of…

Let f in Z[x,y] be a reducible homoegeneous polynomial of degree 3. We show that f(x,y) has an even number of prime factors as often as an odd number of prime factors.

We prove that the number of unimodular integral matrices in a norm ball whose characteristic polynomial has Galois group different than the full symmetric group is of strictly lower order of magnitude than the number of all such matrices in…

A theorem of Dolfi, Herzog, Kaplan, and Lev \cite[Thm.~C]{DHKL} asserts that in a finite group with trivial Fitting subgroup, the size of the soluble residual of the group is bounded from below by a certain power of the group order, and…

We compute the statistics of $SL_{d}(\mathbb{Z})$ matrices lying on level sets of an integral polynomial defined on $SL_{d}(\mathbb{R})$, a result that is a variant of the well known theorem proved by Linnik about the equidistribution of…

The purpose of this article is twofold: to prove a pointwise equidistribution theorem with an error rate for almost smooth functions, which strengthens the main result of Kleinbock, Shi and Weiss (2017); and to obtain a L\'evy-Khintchin…

For a set $M$ of $m$ elements, we define a decreasing chain of classes of normalized monotone-increasing valuation functions from $2^M$ to $\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}$, parameterized by an integer $q \in [2,m]$. For a given $q$, we refer to the…

In this paper, we obtain several new factorization results for certain classes of polynomials having integer coefficients. In doing so, we use the information about prime factorization of the value taken up by such polynomials and their…

We prove a natural generalization of Szep's conjecture. Given an almost simple group $G$ with socle not isomorphic to an orthogonal group having Witt defect zero, we classify all possible group elements $x,y\in G\setminus\{1\}$ with $G={\bf…

Let $\Z_m$ be the group of residue classes modulo $m$. Let $s(m,n)$ and $c(m,n)$ denote the total number of subgroups of the group $\Z_m \times \Z_n$ and the number of its cyclic subgroups, respectively, where $m$ and $n$ are arbitrary…

Let $H$ be a Hardy field (a field consisting of germs of real-valued functions at infinity that is closed under differentiation) and let $f \in H$ be a subpolynomial function. Let $\mathcal{P} = \{2, 3, 5, 7, \dots \}$ be the (naturally…
