In this article, we study the distribution of large quadratic character sums. Based on the recent work of Lamzouri~\cite{La2022}, we obtain the structure results of quadratic characters with large character sums.

We consider sequences of degrees of ordinary irreducible $S_n$-characters. We assume that the corresponding Young diagrams have rows and columns bounded by some linear function of $n$ with leading coefficient less than one. We show that any…

We estimate the frequency of polynomial iterations which falls in a given multiplicative subgroup of a finite field of $p$ elements. We also give a lower bound on the size of the subgroup which is multiplicatively generated by the first $N$…

Let D denote the (n-1)-dimensional simplex. Let Y be a random 2-dimensional subcomplex of D obtained by starting with the full 1-skeleton of D and then adding each 2-simplex independently with probability p. For a fixed c>0 it is shown that…

In this paper, we evaluate a smoothed character sum involving $\sum_{m}\sum_{n}\leg {m}{n}$, with quadratic, cubic or quartic Hecke characters $\leg {m}{n}$, and the two sums over $m$ and $n$ are of comparable lengths.

Let $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and let $K$ be a field with a henselian discrete valuation of rank $n$ with hereditarily euclidean residue field. Let $F/K$ be an algebraic function field in one variable. We show that the Pythagoras number of $F$ is…

This paper addresses the topic of equidistribution and recurrence for polynomial sequences over function fields. The main focus is to note and correct two small errors in [V. Bergelson and A. Leibman, A Weyl-type equidistribution theorem in…

For a given elliptic curve $E$ over a finite local ring, we denote by $E^{\infty}$ its subgroup at infinity. Every point $P \in E^{\infty}$ can be described solely in terms of its $x$-coordinate $P_x$, which can be therefore used to…

Numerous results on self-reciprocal polynomials over finite fields have been studied. In this paper we generalize some of these to a-self reciprocal polynomials defined in [4]. We consider some properties of the divisibility of a-reciprocal…

Let E/Q be an elliptic curve, let L(E,s)=\sum a_n/n^s be the L-series of E/Q, and let P be a point in E(Q). An integer n > 2 having at least two distinct prime factors will be be called an elliptic pseudoprime for (E,P) if E has good…

We examine the asymptotics of the moments of characteristic polynomials of $N\times N$ matrices drawn from the Hermitian ensembles of Random Matrix Theory, in the limit as $N\to\infty$. We focus in particular on the Gaussian Unitary…

We calculate joint moments of the characteristic polynomial of a random unitary matrix from the circular unitary ensemble and its derivative in the case that the power in the moments is an odd positive integer. The calculations are carried…

Let $\mathbf{F}_q$ be a finite field of $q$ elements. We show that the normalized Jacobi sum $q^{-(m-1)/2}J(\chi_1,\dots,\chi_m)$ ($\chi_1\dotsm \chi_m$ nontrivial) is asymptotically equidistributed on the unit circle, when $\chi_1\in…

We investigate algebraic and arithmetic properties of a class of sequences of sparse polynomials that have binomial coefficients both as exponents and as coefficients. In addition to divisibility and irreducibility results we also consider…

The group is interesting as the first example of split rank 2 semisimple group, all the irreducible unitary representations of which are known. We make a precise realization of the discrete series representations (in Section 2) by using the…

We ask whether every polynomial function that is non-negative on a real algebraic curve can be expressed as a sum of squares in the coordinate ring. Scheiderer has classified all irreducible curves for which this is the case. For reducible…

We give an estimate of exponential sums over singular binary quintic forms in a characteristic-free form, based on the Waring decomposition of binary forms. This extends the method on our preceding result on the space of binary quartics to…

We propose a randomized polynomial time algorithm for computing nontrivial zeros of quadratic forms in 4 or more variables over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$, where $\mathbb{F}_q$ is a finite field of odd characteristic. The algorithm is based on a…

We give an asymptotic formula for the divisor sum $\sum_{c<n\leq N}\tau\left((n-b)(n-c)\right)$ for integers $b<c$ of the same parity. Interestingly, the coefficient of the main term does not depend on the discriminant as long as it is a…

We introduce the notion of semi-characteristic polynomial for a semi-linear map of a finite- dimensional vector space over a field of characteristic p. This polynomial has some properties in common with the classical characteristic…
