We obtain a Burgess-type bound for character sums over unions of intervals. The result follows from the argument of Heath-Brown, with an improvement in one of the steps.
Random fields in nature often have, to a good approximation, Gaussian characteristics. We present the mathematical framework for a new and simple method for investigating the non-Gaussian contributions, based on counting the maxima and…
We obtain a new upper bound for binary sums with multiplicative characters over variables belong to some sets, having small additive doubling.
The first part is expository: it explains how finite fields may be used to prove theorems on infinite fields by a reduction mod p process. The second part gives a variant of P.Smith's fixed point theorem which applies in any characteristic.
C. F. Gauss discovered a beautiful formula for the number of irreducible polynomials of a given degree over a finite field. Assuming just a few elementary facts in field theory and the exclusion-inclusion formula, we show how one see the…
We estimate weighted character sums with determinants $ad-bc $ of $2\times 2$ matrices modulo a prime $p$ with entries $a,b,c,d $ varying over the interval $ [1,N]$. Our goal is to obtain nontrivial bounds for values of $N$ as small as…
In Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, Gauss studied binary quadratic forms and introduced a very general version of a composition operator that allows composing even forms of different discriminants and imprimitive forms. Section V of…
This paper is devoted to the proof Gauss' divergence theorem in the framework of "ultrafunctions". They are a new kind of generalized functions, which have been introduced recently [2] and developed in [4], [5] and [6]. Their peculiarity is…
A generalized Black-Scholes equation is considered on the semi-axis. It is transformed on the interval (0,1) in order to make the computational domain finite. The new parabolic operator degenerates at the both ends of the interval and we…
It is known that extreme characters of several inductive limits of compact groups exhibit multiplicativity in a certain sense. In the paper, we formulate such multiplicativity for inductive limit quantum groups and provide explicit examples…
We establish a "diagonal" ergodic theorem involving the additive and multiplicative groups of a countable field $K$ and, with the help of a new variant of Furstenberg's correspondence principle, prove that any "large" set in $K$ contains…
The main object of this paper is to find closed form expressions for finite and infinite sums that are weighted by $\omega(n)$, where $\omega(n)$ is the number of distinct prime factors of $n$. We then derive general convergence criteria…
We present some variations on some of the main open problems on character degrees. We collect some of the methods that have proven to be very useful to work on these problems. These methods are also useful to solve certain problems on zeros…
A new algebraic Cayley graph is constructed using finite fields. Its connectedness and diameter bound are studied via Weil's estimate for character sums. These graphs provide a new source of expander graphs, extending classical results of…
Given a field F, one may ask which finite groups are Galois groups of field extensions E/F such that E is a maximal subfield of a division algebra with center F. This question was originally posed by Schacher, who gave partial results over…
Fractional $q$-extensions of some classical $q$-orthogonal polynomials are introduced and some of the main properties of the new defined functions are given. Next, a fractional $q$-difference equation of Gauss type is introduced and solved…
We present a property satisfied by a large variety of complex continued fraction algorithms (the "finite building property") and use it to explore the structure of bijectivity domains for natural extensions of Gauss maps. Specifically, we…
We prove that Burgess's bound gives an estimate not just for a single character sum, but for a mean value of many such sums.
In this paper, we develop the theory of absolutely summing multipolynomials. Among other results, we generalize and unify previous works of G. Botelho and D. Pellegrino concerning absolutely summing polynomials/multilinear mappings in…
We study the characteristic polynomials of both the Gaussian Orthogonal and Symplectic Ensembles. We show that for both ensembles, powers of the absolute value of the characteristic polynomials converge in law to Gaussian multiplicative…
