Let \chi be an irreducible character of the finite group G. If g is an element of G and \chi(g) is not zero, then we conjecture that the order of g divides |G|/\chi(1). The conjecture is a generalization of the classical fact that…

We classify the irreducible complex characters of the symplectic groups $Sp_{2n}(q)$ and the orthogonal groups $Spin_{2n}^\pm(q)$, $Spin_{2n+1}(q)$ of degrees up to the bound D, where $D=(q^n-1)q^{4n-10}/2$ for symplectic groups,…

This paper studies explicit and theoretical bounds for several interesting quantities in number theory, conditionally on the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. Specifically, we improve the existing explicit bounds for the least quadratic…

We obtain several new upper bounds of the odd graceful chromatic number of a graph $G$, which must be bipartite. Some of our bounds depend only on the number of the vertices of $G$ or the chromatic number of some graphs related to the…

Let $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character modulo a prime~$p$. We give explicit upper bounds on $q_1<q_2<\dots<q_n$, the $n$ smallest prime nonresidues of $\chi$. More precisely, given $n_0$ and $p_0$ there exists an absolute constant…

In this paper, we obtain a sharp upper bound for the sum of the first $k$-th eigenvalues for this Dirichlet problem of poly-Laplacian with any order, which is viewed as an extension of the result due to Cheng and Wei (Journal of…

Let $\UT_n(q)$ denote the unitriangular group of unipotent $n\times n$ upper triangular matrices over a finite field with cardinality $q$ and prime characteristic $p$. It has been known for some time that when $p$ is fixed and $n$ is…

Let $q$ be an odd power of a prime $p$, and $S \subset \mathbb{F}_q^*$ such that $S=-S$ and $S/S \neq \mathbb{F}_q^*$. We show that the clique number of the Cayley graph $\operatorname{Cay}(\mathbb{F}_q^+,S)$ is at most…

Let A be a finite set of integers and F_A its exponential sum. McGehee, Pigno & Smith and Konyagin have independently proved that the L^1-norm of F_A is at least c log|A| for some absolute constant c. The lower bound has the correct order…

We give an upper bound for the norm of the determinant of additively indecomposable, totally positive definite quadratic forms defined over the ring of integers of totally real number fields. We apply these results to find lower and upper…

In this paper, we obtain under the assumption of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis upper bounds for all high integral moments of sums of Fourier coefficients of a given modular form twisted by quadratic Dirichlet characters. We show the…

In this work, we give the sharp upper bound for the number of cliques in graphs with bounded odd circumferences. This generalized Tur\'an-type result is an extension of the celebrated Erd\H{o}s and Gallai theorem and a strengthening of…

We prove a lower bound on the canonical height associated to polynomials over number fields evaluated at points with infinite forward orbit. The lower bound depends only on the degree of the polynomial, the degree of the number field, and…

In this paper, we study eigenvalues of the poly-Laplacian with arbitrary order on a bounded domain in an $n$-dimensional Euclidean space and obtain a lower bound for eigenvalues, which gives an important improvement of results due to Levine…

This paper proves several weak limit theorems for the joint version of extreme order statistics and partial sums of independently and identically distributed random variables. The results are also extended to almost sure limit version.

Let $Z(N)$ denote the minimum number of zeros in $[0,2\pi]$ that a cosine polynomial of the form $$f_A(t)=\sum_{n\in A}\cos nt$$ can have when $A$ is a finite set of non-negative integers of size $|A|=N$. It is an old problem of Littlewood…
