The Selberg sieve provides majorants for certain arithmetic sequences, such as the primes and the twin primes. We prove an L^2-L^p restriction theorem for majorants of this type. An immediate application is to the estimation of exponential…

We describe a semidefinite programming framework for proving upper bounds on concrete sifting problems, and show that the Large Sieve can be interpreted as a special case of this framework. With a small tweak, the Larger Sieve also falls…

We study certain aspects of the Selberg sieve, in particular when sifting by rather thin sets of primes. We derive new results for the lower bound sieve suited especially for this setup and we apply them in particular to give a new…

We study the arithmetic (real) function f=g*1, with g "essentially bounded" and supported over the integers of [1,Q]. In particular, we obtain non-trivial bounds, through f "correlations", for the "Selberg integral" and the "symmetry…

We use the Burgess bound and Selberg sieve to obtain an upper bound on the second moment of sums over an interval $[u+1,u+h]$ of Legendre symbols modulo primes $p$ in a dyadic interval $[Q,2Q]$. The bound is nontrivial and gives a power…

We show how the Selberg $\Lambda^2$-sieve can be used to obtain power saving error terms in a wide class of counting problems which are tackled using geometry of numbers. Specifically, we give such an error term for the counting function of…

Assuming that there exist (infinitely many) Siegel zeros, we show that the (Rosser-)Jurkat-Richert bounds in the linear sieve cannot be improved, and similarly look at Iwaniec's lower bound on Jacobsthal's problem, as well as minor…

We study the \lq \lq symmetry integral\rq \rq, \thinspace say $I_f$, of some arithmetic functions $f:\N \rightarrow \R$; we obtain from lower bounds of $I_f$ (for a large class of arithmetic functions $f$) lower bounds for the \lq \lq…

We give a new lower bound for the first gap $\lambda_2 - \lambda_1$ of the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Schr{\"o}dinger operator on a bounded convex domain $\Omega$ in R$^n$ or S$^n$ and greatly sharpens the previous estimates. The new…

We show a smoothed version of Goldston-Pintz-Yildirim's sifting argument to detect small gaps between primes, which has a higly flexible error term. Our argument is applicable to high dimensional Selberg sieve situations as well, although…

It is a classic result of Selberg in the 1950's that $\theta_2 = 2/3$, where $\theta_2$ is the level of distribution of the divisor function in arithmetic progressions (defined more precisely below). Selberg applies this estimate, together…

Given an infinite set \Lambda of characters on a compact abelian group we show that \Lambda is a \Lambda(p)-set for all p>2 if and only if the limit order of the ideal of all \Lambda-summing operators coincides with that of the ideal of all…

We continue the investigations in the author's book on cardinal arithmetic, assuming some knowledge of it. We deal with the cofinality of (S_{<= aleph_0}(kappa), subseteq) for kappa real valued measurable (Section 3), densities of box…

The intermediate dimensions of a set $\Lambda$, elsewhere denoted by $\dim_{\theta}\Lambda$, interpolates between its Hausdorff and box dimensions using the parameter $\theta\in[0,1]$. Determining a precise formula for…

We give a large sieve type inequality for functions supported on primes. As application we prove a conjecture by Elliott, and give bounds for short character sums over primes. The proves uses a combination of the large sieve and the Selberg…

The author gives nontrivial upper and lower bounds for the number of primes in the interval $[x - x^{\theta}, x]$ for some $0.52 \leqslant \theta \leqslant 0.525$, showing that the interval $[x - x^{0.52}, x]$ contains prime numbers for all…

Let F be a square integrable Maass form on the Siegel upper half space of rank 2 for the Siegel modular group Sp(4, Z) with Laplace eigenvalue lambda. If, in addition, F is a joint eigenfunction of the Hecke algebra, we show a power-saving…

Lipschitz decomposition is a useful tool in the design of efficient algorithms involving metric spaces. While many bounds are known for different families of finite metrics, the optimal parameters for $n$-point subsets of $\ell_p$, for $p >…

We consider a series of massive scaling limits m_1 -> infty, q -> 0, lim m_1 q = Lambda_{3} followed by m_4 -> infty, Lambda_{3} -> 0, lim m_4 Lambda_{3} = (Lambda_2)^2 of the beta-deformed matrix model of Selberg type (N_c=2, N_f=4) which…

The purpose of this paper is twofold: 1) Applications of Gallagher's larger sieve modulo prime squares do not work. In some relevant cases we can transform the residue class information modulo $p^2$ to more suitable residue information…
