We consider, for infinite cardinals kappa and alpha <= kappa^+, the group Pi(kappa,< alpha) of sequences of integers, of length kappa, with non-zero entries in fewer than alpha positions. Our main result tells when Pi(kappa,< alpha) can be…

We use a method developed by Bj\"orklund and Gorodnik to show a central limit theorem (as $T$ tends to $\infty$) for the counting functions $\# \left( \Lambda \cap \Omega_T \right)$ where $\Lambda$ ranges over the space $Y_{2d}$ of…

We prove a lower bound for the large sieve with square moduli.

Fix an integer $\kappa\geqslant 2$. Let $P$ be prime and let $k> \kappa$ be an even integer. For $f$ a holomorphic cusp form of weight $k$ and full level and $g$ a primitive holomorphic cusp form of weight $2 \kappa$ and level $P$, we prove…

For any $m \geq 1$, let $H_m$ denote the quantity $\liminf_{n \to \infty} (p_{n+m}-p_n)$. A celebrated recent result of Zhang showed the finiteness of $H_1$, with the explicit bound $H_1 \leq 70000000$. This was then improved by us (the…

The twin prime conjecture asserts that there are infinitely many pairs of primes that differ by two. While recent advances have improved our understanding of bounded prime gaps, the conjecture remains unresolved. This paper refines the…

For infinite cardinals $\kappa,\lambda$ let $C(\kappa,\lambda)$ denote the class of all compact Hausdorff spaces of weight $\kappa$ and size $\lambda$. So $C(\kappa,\lambda)=\emptyset$ if $\kappa>\lambda$ or $\lambda>2^\kappa$. If F is a…

Let kappa a regular uncountable cardinal and lambda a cardinal >kappa, and suppose lambda^{<kappa} is less than the covering number for category cov(M_{kappa,kappa}). Then (a) I_{kappa,lambda}^+ -->^kappa (I_{kappa, lambda}^+,omega +1)^2,…

Function values are, in some sense, "almost as good" as general linear information for $L_2$-approximation (optimal recovery, data assimilation) of functions from a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. This was recently proved by new upper…

All sieve methods for the Goldbach problem sift out all the composite numbers; even though, strictly speaking, it is not necessary to do so and which is, in general, very difficult. Some new methods introduced in this paper show that the…

This article focuses on $L^p$ estimates for objects associated to elliptic operators in divergence form: its semigroup, the gradient of the semigroup, functional calculus, square functions and Riesz transforms. We introduce four critical…

For $\lambda \in (1/2, 1)$ and $\alpha$, we consider sets of numbers $x$ such that for infinitely many $n$, $x$ is $2^{-\alpha n}$-close to some $\sum_{i=1}^n \omega_i \lambda^i$, where $\omega_i \in \{0,1\}$. These sets are in Falconer's…

This is a continuation of "Some results on nonstationry ideal". The upper bound on precipitousness of NS_lambda^+ for a regular lambda given in this paper is proved to be exact.It is shown that saturatedness of NS_kappa^aleph_0 over…

Let $H\subset \R^{d+1}$ be a compact, convex, analytic hypersurface of finite type with a smooth measure $\sigma $ on $H$. Let $\kappa$ denote the Gaussian curvature on $H$. We consider the oscillatory integral $(\kappa^{1/2}…

Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we provide uniform upper and lower bounds with explicit main terms for $\log{\left|\cL(s)\right|}$ for $\sigma \in (1/2,1)$ and for functions in the Selberg class. In particular, we focus on the…

We develop the foundations of a general framework for producing optimal upper and lower bounds on the sum $\sum_p a_p$ over primes $p$, where $(a_n)_{x/2<n\le x}$ is an arbitrary non-negative sequence satisfying Type I and Type II…

In this article we consider the elliptic Selberg integral, which is a BC_n symmetric multivariate extension of the elliptic beta integral. We categorize the limits that are obtained as p->0, for given behavior of the parameters as p->0.…

In his Classical approximation to the Twin prime problem, Selberg proved that for $x$ sufficiently large, there is an $n \in (x,2x)$ such that $2^{\Omega(n)}+2^{\Omega(n+2)} \leq \lambda$ with $\lambda=14$, where $\Omega(n)$ is the number…

In this note we give two small results concerning the correlations of the Selberg sieve weights. We then use these estimates to derive a new (conditional) lower bound on the variance of the primes in short intervals, and also on the…

Let \( P \) and \( Q \) be the quantum-mechanical momentum and position operators on \( L^2(\R) \). Let $\zeta>0.$ We provide estimates for the {\it Riesz means} $\varkappa(\lambda)$ associated with the system of eigenvalues of the operator…
