We summarize main results in our paper "The Mobius function and distal flows", and give a direct proof with rate of that the Mobius function is disjoint from Furstenberg's irregular system. This will be published in the Proceedings of the…

Let $\mathbb{T}$ be the unit circle and $\Gamma\setminus G$ the 3-dimensional Heisenberg nilmanifold. We prove that the M\"obius function is linearly disjoint from a class of distal skew products on $\mathbb{T}\times\Gamma\setminus G$.…

We prove a quantitative closing lemma for the horocycle flow induced by the $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$-action on the moduli space of Abelian differentials with a double-order zero on surfaces of genus 2. The proof proceeds via construction…

The Ratner property, a quantitative form of divergence of nearby trajectories, is a central feature in the study of parabolic homogeneous flows. Discovered by Marina Ratner and used in her 1980th seminal works on horocycle flows, it pushed…

We prove that the M\"{o}bius function is linearly disjoint from an analytic skew product on the $2$-torus. These flows are distal and can be irregular in the sense that their ergodic averages need not exist for all points. The previous…

We prove a quantitative variant of a disjointness theorem of nilflows from horospherical flows following a technique of Venkatesh, combined with the structural theorems for nilflows by Green, Tao and Ziegler.

Inspired by the work of Bourgain and Garaev (2013), we provide new bounds for certain weighted bilinear Kloosterman sums in polynomial rings over a finite field. As an application, we build upon and extend some results of Sawin and…

We show that Sarnak's conjecture on M\"obius disjointness holds in every uniquely ergodic modelof a quasi-discrete spectrum automorphism. A consequence of this result is that, for each non constant polynomial $P\in\R[x]$ with irrational…

Recently, Glasner, Tsankov, Weiss, and Zucker showed that if $\Gamma$ is an infinite discrete group, then every minimal $\Gamma$-flow is disjoint from the Bernoulli shift $2^\Gamma$. Their proof is somewhat involved; in particular, it…

We study the invariant distributions for the horocycle map on $\Gamma\backslash SL(2, \mathbb{R})$ and prove Sobolev estimates for the cohomological equation of the horocycle map. As an application, we obtain an estimate for the rate of…

Let $\mathbb{T}$ be the unit circle and $\Gamma \backslash G$ the $3$-dimensional Heisenberg nilmanifold. We prove that a class of skew products on $\mathbb{T} \times \Gamma \backslash G$ are distal, and that the M\"{o}bius function is…

This paper is concerned with the Richards equation in a heterogeneous domain, each subdomain of which is homogeneous and represents a rocktype. Our first contribution is to rigorously prove convergence toward a weak solution of…

We say that two arithmetic functions f and g form a Mobius pair if f(n) = \sum_{d \mid n} g(d) for all natural numbers n. In that case, g can be expressed in terms of f by the familiar Mobius inversion formula of elementary number theory.…

Let $\mathbb{T}^\omega$ be the infinite-dimensional torus, and $T: \mathbb{T}^\omega\to \mathbb{T}^\omega$ be defined by \[ T: (x_1, x_2, \dots, x_k, \ldots) \mapsto (x_1 + \alpha, x_2 + h(x_1), \dots, x_k + h(x_1 + (k-2)\beta), \dots) \]…

A celebrated result of Ratner from the eighties says that two horocycle flows on hyperbolic surfaces of finite area are either the same up to algebraic change of coordinates, or they have no non-trivial joinings. Recently, Mohammadi and Oh…

We obtain a new bound for incomplete Gauss sums modulo primes. Our argument falls under the framework of Vinogradov's method which we use to reduce the problem under consideration to bounding the number of solutions to two distinct systems…

We establish nontrivial bounds for bilinear sums involving the M\"obius function evaluated over solutions to a broad class of equations. Several of our results may be regarded as M\"obius-function analogues of the ternary Goldbach problem.…

We prove that the orbit of a non-periodic point at prime values of the horocycle flow in the modular surface is dense in a set of positive measure. For some special orbits we also prove that they are dense in the whole space (assuming the…

We prove a result related to Bressan's mixing problem. We establish an inequality for the change of Bianchini semi-norms of characteristic functions under the flow generated by a divergence free time dependent vector field. The approach…

Motivated by open questions in the papers " Refinements and sharpenings of some double inequalities for bounding the gamma function" and "Complete monotonicity and monotonicity of two functions defined by two derivatives of a function…
