We prove Bombieri--Vinogradov and Barban--Davenport--Halberstam type theorems for the y-smooth numbers less than x, on the range log^{K}x \leq y \leq x. This improves on the range \exp{log^{2/3 + \epsilon}x} \leq y \leq x that was…

We investigate the average distribution of primes represented by positive definite integral binary quadratic forms, the average being taken over negative fundamental discriminants in long ranges. In particular, we prove corresponding…

We obtain an asymptotic formula, in the spirit of the Montgomery-Hooley refinement of the Barban-Davenport-Halberstam Theorem, for the variance associated with tuples of k-free numbers in arithmetic progressions.

Variational Bayes (VB) provides a computationally efficient alternative to Markov Chain Monte Carlo, especially for high-dimensional and large-scale inference. However, existing theory on VB primarily focuses on fixed-dimensional settings…

We prove large and moderate deviation principles for the distribution of an empirical mean conditioned by the value of the sum of discrete i.i.d. random variables. Some applications for combinatoric problems are discussed.

Deep neural networks have achieved impressive results on a wide variety of tasks. However, quantifying uncertainty in the network's output is a challenging task. Bayesian models offer a mathematical framework to reason about model…

We formulate and prove a large sieve inequality for quadratic characters over a number field. To do this, we introduce the notion of an n-th order Hecke family. We develop the basic theory of these Hecke families, including versions of the…

We show that every sufficiently large integer is a sum of a prime and two almost prime squares, and also a sum of a smooth number and two almost prime squares. The number of such representations is of the expected order of magnitude. We…

Bayesian methods have proved powerful in many applications for the inference of model parameters from data. These methods are based on Bayes' theorem, which itself is deceptively simple. However, in practice the computations required are…

We derived the sum identities for generalized harmonic and corresponding oscillatory numbers for which a sieve procedure can be applied. The obtained results enable us to understand better the properties of these numbers and their…

Given an integer $m \geq 2$ and a sufficiently large $q$, we apply a variant of the Maynard--Tao sieve weight to establish the existence of an arithmetic progression with common difference $q$ for which the $m$-th least prime in such…

We describe a very general abstract form of sieve based on a large sieve inequality which generalizes both the classical sieve inequality of Montgomery (and its higher-dimensional variants), and our recent sieve for Frobenius over function…
