Given a subset of real numbers $A$ with small product $AA$ we obtain a new upper bound for the additive energy of $A$. The proof uses a natural observation that level sets of convolutions of the characteristic function of $A$ have small…

Let $\varepsilon>0$ be a fixed small constant, ${\mathbb F}_p$ be the finite field of $p$ elements for prime $p$. We consider additive and multiplicative problems in ${\mathbb F}_p$ that involve intervals and arbitrary sets. Representative…

The author proves that there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that $\| \alpha p - \beta \| < p^{-\frac{28}{87}}$, where $\alpha$ is an irrational number and $\beta$ is a real number. This sharpens a result of Jia (2000) and provides a…

Let $p>3$ be a prime number and let $A$ be a brace whose additive group is a direct sum of cyclic groups of cardinalities larger than $p^{\alpha }$ for some $\alpha $. Suppose that either (i) $A^{\lfloor{\frac {p-1}4}\rfloor}\subseteq pA$…

This paper addresses an estimation problem of an additive functional of $\phi$, which is defined as $\theta(P;\phi)=\sum_{i=1}^k\phi(p_i)$, given $n$ i.i.d. random samples drawn from a discrete distribution $P=(p_1,...,p_k)$ with alphabet…

For any sufficiently large $\ell$, suppose that $\ell$ can be expressed as $$ \ell=p_1^4+p_2^4+p_3^4+ \cdots +p_8^4,$$ where $p_1, p_2,p_3,\cdots, p_8$ are primes.For such $\ell$, in this paper we will use circle method and sieves to prove…

Let $A$ be a set of natural numbers. Recent work has suggested a strong link between the additive energy of $A$ (the number of solutions to $a_1 + a_2 = a_3 + a_4$ with $a_i \in A$) and the metric Poissonian property, which is a fine-scale…

We revisit the rapidity dependence of the average transverse momentum $\left\langle p_{T}\right\rangle$ in a $pp$ and $pA$ collision, using the high energy factorization (HEF). We update previous predictions for the $\left\langle…

This paper extends the investigation of energy distribution in finite settings, which is related to the results established in [H]. We analyze the distribution of multiplicative energies using Fourier analytical methods and random…

For $0\leq \alpha<1$ and prime number $p$ let $L(\alpha,p)$ be the sum of the first $[\alpha p]$ values of Legendre symbol modulo $p$. We study positivity of $L(\alpha,p)$ and prove that for $|\alpha-\frac13|<2\cdot 10^{-6}$ and for…

Let $\mathbb{F}_p$ be the field of residue classes modulo a prime number $p$ and let $A$ be a non-empty subset of $\mathbb{F}_p.$ In this paper we give an explicit version of the sum-product estimate of Bourgain, Katz, Tao and Bourgain,…

For two relatively prime square-free positive integers $a$ and $b$, we study integers of the form $a p+b P_{2}$ and give a new lower bound for the number of such representations, where $a p$ and $b P_{2}$ are both square-free, $p$ denote a…

In this paper, we use methods of exponential sums to derive a formula for estimating effective upper bounds of $|\zeta'(1/2+it)|$. Different effective upper bounds can be obtained by choosing different parameters.

Best possible bounds are obtained for the concentration function of an additive arithmetic function on sequences of shifted primes.

There exists an absolute constant $C$ with the following property. Let $A \subseteq \mathbb{F}_p$ be a set in the prime order finite field with $p$ elements. Suppose that $|A| > C p^{5/8}$. The set \[ (A \pm A)(A \pm A) = \{(a_1 \pm…

We present a novel conjecture concerning the additive representation of natural numbers using prime powers. Based on extensive computational verification, we conjecture that every integer n > 23 can be expressed as a sum of at most five…

In this article we prove that if the additive energy of a strictly increasing sequence $(a_n)$ of natural numbers is less than $N^3/(\log N)^C$ for some $C\geq13.155$, then $(\{a_n\alpha\})$ has Poissonian pair correlation for almost all…

The field enhancement factor (FEF) is an important quantity in field emission calculations since the tunneling electron current depends very sensitively on its magnitude. The exact dependence of FEF on the emitter height $h$, the radius of…

Suppose that $y>0$, $0\leq\alpha<2\pi$, and $0<K<1$. Let $P^+$ be the set of primes $p$ such that $\cos(y\ln p+\alpha)>K$ and $P^-$ the set of primes $p$ such that $\cos(y\ln p+\alpha)<-K$. In this paper, we prove $\sum_{p\in…

For $p$ prime, $A \subseteq \mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$ and $\lambda \in \mathbb{Z}$, the sum of dilates $A + \lambda \cdot A$ is defined by \[A + \lambda \cdot A = \{a + \lambda a' : a, a' \in A\}.\] The basic problem on such sums of dilates…
