We prove the inverse conjecture for the Gowers U^{s+1}[N]-norm for all s >= 3; this is new for s > 3, and the cases s<3 have also been previously established. More precisely, we establish that if f : [N] -> [-1,1] is a function with || f…
B. Green and T. Tao have recently proved that 'the set of primes contains arbitrary long arithmetic progressions', answering to an old question with a remarkably simple formulation. The proof does not use any "transcendental" method and any…
We prove a structural theorem for generalized arithmetic progressions in $\F_p$ which contain a large product set of two other progressions.
Let a and f be coprime positive integers. Let g be an integer. Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) it follows by a result of H.W. Lenstra that the set of primes p such that p=a(mod f) and g is a primitive root modulo p has a…
Extending Furstenberg's ergodic theoretic proof for Szemer\'edi's theorem on arithmetic progressions, Furstenberg and Weiss (2003) proved the following qualitative result. For every d and k, there exists an integer N such that no matter how…
We prove an inverse theorem for the Gowers $U^2$-norm for maps $G\to\mathcal M$ from an countable, discrete, amenable group $G$ into a von Neumann algebra $\mathcal M$ equipped with an ultraweakly lower semi-continuous, unitarily invariant…
We prove a variant of the abstract probabilistic version of Szemer\'edi's regularity lemma, due to Tao, which applies to a number of structures (including graphs, hypergraphs, hypercubes, graphons, and many more) and works for random…
We show that an arbitrary nilprogression can be approximated by a proper coset nilprogression in upper-triangular form. This can be thought of as a nilpotent version of the Freiman-Bilu result that a generalised arithmetic progression can…
This article provides a proof of the famous \textit{Prime Number Theorem} by establishing an analogous statement of the same in terms of the second \textit{Chebyshev Function} $\psi(x)$. We shall be extensively using complex analytic…
We prove a version of the prime number theorem for arithmetic progressions that is uniform enough to deduce the Siegel-Walfisz theorem, Hoheisel's asymptotic for intervals of length $x^{1-\delta}$, a Brun-Titchmarsh bound, and Linnik's…
Let $G$ be a multiplicative subgroup of the prime field $\mathbb F_p$ of size $|G|> p^{1-\kappa}$ and $r$ an arbitrarily fixed positive integer. Assuming $\kappa=\kappa(r)>0$ and $p$ large enough, it is shown that any proportional subset…
We study an LCM-based analogue of Rowland's GCD-based prime-generating recurrence, introduced by the author in 2008. The multiplicative increments of this sequence are conjectured always to be $1$ or prime, but a complete proof requires a…
Let $AP_k=\{a,a+d,\ldots,a+(k-1)d\}$ be an arithmetic progression. For $\epsilon>0$ we call a set $AP_k(\epsilon)=\{x_0,\ldots,x_{k-1}\}$ an $\epsilon$-approximate arithmetic progression if for some $a$ and $d$, $|x_i-(a+id)|<\epsilon d$…
We study arithmetic progressions in primes with common differences as small as possible. Tao and Ziegler showed that, for any $k \geq 3$ and $N$ large, there exist non-trivial $k$-term arithmetic progressions in (any positive density subset…
In graph theory, the Szemer\'edi regularity lemma gives a decomposition of the indicator function for any graph $G$ into a structured component, a uniform part, and a small error. This result, in conjunction with a counting lemma that…
We extend previous work on Hrushovski's stabilizer's theorem and prove a measure-theoretic version of a well-known result of Pillay-Scanlon-Wagner on products of three types. This generalizes results of Gowers on products of three sets and…
In this paper we introduce a new simple but powerful general technique for the study of edge- and vertex-reinforced processes with super-linear reinforcement, based on the use of order statistics for the number of edge, respectively of…
In this note, we prove a certain hypergraph generalization of the Balog-Szemeredi-Gowers Theorem. Our result shares some features in common with a similar such generalizsation due to Sudakov, Szemeredi and Vu, though the conclusion of our…
We prove Mazur and Rubin's Iwasawa-theoretic Gross-Zagier conjecture (under some restrictive hypotheses), which relates Heegner points in towers of number fields to the 2-variable p-adic L-function. The result generalizes Perrin-Riou's…
Van der Waerden's theorem asserts that if you color the natural numbers with, say, five different colors, then you can always find arbitrarily long sequences of numbers that have the same color and that form an arithmetic progression.…
