Improving and extending recent results of the author, we conditionally estimate exponential sums with Dirichlet coefficients of L-functions, both over all integers and over all primes in an interval. In particular, we establish new…

We obtain new bounds on some trilinear and quadrilinear character sums, which are non-trivial starting from very short ranges of the variables. An application to an apparently new problem on oscillations of characters on differences between…

In this article, we investigate large values of Dirichlet character sums with multiplicative coefficients $\sum_{n\le N}f(n)\chi(n)$. We prove an Omega result in the region $\exp((\log q)^{\frac12+\varepsilon})\le N\le\sqrt q$, where $q$ is…

Let $q$ be a positive integer, $\chi$ a nontrivial character mod $q$, $\mathcal{I}$ an interval of length not exceeding $q.$ In this paper we shall study the character sum analogue of the well-known Kloosterman…

We introduce a method to estimate sums of oscillating functions on finite abelian groups over intervals or (generalized) arithmetic progressions, when the size of the interval is such that the completing techniques of Fourier analysis are…

In this paper we generalize a result of Montgomery and Vaughan regarding exponential sums with multiplicative coefcients to the setting of Weyl sums. As applications, we establish a joint equidistribution result for roots of polynomial…

In this paper, Euler gives the general trionomial coefficient as a sum of the binomial coefficients, the general quadrinomial coefficient as a sum of the binomial and trinomial coefficients, the general quintonomial coefficient as a sum of…

We consider sums of the form $$F_\chi(\alpha,\beta;\theta) := \sum_{\alpha p<n\le\beta p}\chi(n)e(n\theta),$$ where $\chi$ is a non-principal Dirichlet character modulo a prime number $p$. We prove that $$ \sqrt p \log \log p \ll \max_{0…

We prove a new mean-value theorem for Dirichlet polynomials with coefficients given by the von Mangoldt function. We then use our theorem to derive new estimates for certain exponential sums over primes. The latter have applications to…

We study the conjecture that $\sum_{n\leq x} \chi(n)=o(x)$ for any primitive Dirichlet character $\chi \pmod q$ with $x\geq q^\epsilon$, which is known to be true if the Riemann Hypothesis holds for $L(s,\chi)$. We show that it holds under…

We obtain transformation formulas for quadratic character sums with quartic and cubic polynomial arguments.

In 1961, Solomon gave upper and lower bounds for the sum of all the entries in the character table of a finite group in terms of elementary properties of the group. In a different direction, we consider the ratio of the character table sum…

We study the triple convolution sum of the generalised divisor functions $$\sum_{n\leq x} d_k(n+h)d_l(n)d_m(n-h),$$ where $h \le x^{1-\epsilon}$ for any $\epsilon>0$ and $d_k(n)$ denotes the generalised divisor function which counts the…

We present a common ground for infinite sums, unordered sums, Riemann/Lebesgue integrals, arc length and some generalized means. It is based on extending functions on finite sets using Hausdorff metric in a natural way.

In this paper we consider the analogue of the Sato's functional equation for the prehomogeneous vector spaces over finite fields. The corresponding character sums depend on a relative invariant on such a space and an irreducible…

We prove an asymptotic formula for the mean-square average of $L$- functions associated to subgroups of characters of sufficiently large size. Our proof relies on the study of certain character sums ${\cal A}(p,d)$ recently introduced by E.…

We provide upper bounds on the density of a symmetric generalized arithmetic progression lacking nonzero elements of the form h(n) for natural numbers n, or h(p) with p prime, for appropriate polynomials h with integer coefficients. The…

We prove an upper bound for the length of an arithmetic progression represented by an irreducible integral binary quadratic form or a norm form, which depends only on the form and the progression's common difference. For quadratic forms,…

We obtain a new bound in the uniform version of the Glasner property for matrices with polynomial entries, improving that of K. Bulinski and A. Fish (2021). This improvement is based on a more careful examination of complete rational…

This paper describes an improvement in the upper bound for the magnitude of a coefficient of a term in the chromatic polynomial of a general graph. If $a_r$ is the coefficient of the $q^r$ term in the chromatic polynomial $P(G,q)$, where…
