We use Poisson summation formula to calculate integrals of producs of sinc functions (cf. [4]) and related integrals as in [5] and [3]. We also generalize the one in [5] and introduce other remarkable integrals. Finally we give a sum…

Let $\tau(n)$ stand for the number of divisors of the positive integer $n$. We obtain upper bounds for $\tau(n)$ in terms of $\log n$ and the number of distinct prime factors of $n$.

For any $m \geq 1$, let $H_m$ denote the quantity $\liminf_{n \to \infty} (p_{n+m}-p_n)$. A celebrated recent result of Zhang showed the finiteness of $H_1$, with the explicit bound $H_1 \leq 70000000$. This was then improved by us (the…

In this paper we establish the generalized Beukers integral $I_{m}(a_{1},...,a_{n})$ with some methods of partial fraction decomposition. Thus one obtains an explicit expression of the generalized Beukers integral. Further, we estimate the…

We give a kind of \lq \lq approximate majorant principle\rq \rq \thinspace result for the \lq \lq modified Selberg integral\rq \rq, say $\modSel_f(N,h)$, of essentially bounded $f:\N \rightarrow \R$ (i.e., bounded by arbitrary small…

For cofinite Kleinian groups, with finite-dimensional unitary representations, we derive the Selberg trace formula. As an application we define the corresponding Selberg zeta-function and compute its divisor, thus generalizing results of…

The sums of three trigonometric series with logarithmic coefficients are derived by extending an approach first utilized by Lerch. By applying Frullani's theorem to two of these series, two non-trivial integrals involving hyperbolic…

Let $\Lambda$ be an order in a division algebra over a number field. We prove, under some conditions, that $SL_3(\Lambda)$ is boundedly generated by elementary matrices.

For a finite sequence of positive integers $A=\{a_j\}_{j=1}^{k},$ we prove a recursion for divisor function $\sigma_{x}^{(A)}(n)=\sum_{d|n,\enskip d\in A}d^x.$ As a corollary, we give an affirmative solution of the problem posed in 1969 by…

We analyze the situation which is related to zonal spherical functions of type $A_n$ and obtain a generalization of Selberg integral.

We study averages along the integers using the divisor function $d(n)$, and defined as $$K_N f (x) = \frac{1}{D(N)} \sum _{n \leq N} d(n) \,f(x+n) , $$ where $D(N) = \sum _{n=1} ^N d(n) $. We shall show that these averages satisfy a…

We give a new bound on the number of collinear triples for two arbitrary subsets of a finite field. This improves on existing results which rely on the Cauchy inequality. We then us this to provide a new bound on trilinear and quadrilinear…

In this paper, we present two new representations of the alternating Zeta function. We show that for any s $\in$ C this function can be computed as a limit of a series of determinant. We then express these determinants as the expectation of…

We improve existing estimates of moments of the Riemann zeta function. As a consequence, we are able to derive new estimates for the asymptotic behaviour of $\sum_{N \alpha \le x} \mathfrak{t}_k(\alpha)$, where $N$ stands for the norm of a…

The present paper is a report on joint work with Alessandro Languasco and Alberto Perelli on our recent investigations on the Selberg integral and its connections to Montgomery's pair-correlation function. We introduce a more general form…

In this paper we establish a new formula for the arithmetic functions that verify $ f(n) = \sum_{d|n} g(d)$ where $g$ is also an arithmetic function. We prove the following identity, $$\forall n \in \mathbb{N}^*, \ \ \ f(n) = \sum_{k=1}^n…

Using ideas from the geometry of compression, we improve on the current upper and lower bounds of the Heilbronn triangle problem. In particular, let $\Delta(s)$ denote the minimal area of the triangle induced by $s$ points on a unit disk.…

Let $\tau(n)$ denote the classical divisor function. In this paper, we consider the hyperbolic fractional sum of the divisor function defined by $$ T(x) = \sum_{n_1 n_2 \leqslant x} \tau\left( \left[ \frac{x}{n_1 n_2} \right] \right) =…

In this paper we consider parafermionic Liouville field theory. We study integral representations of three-point correlation functions and develop a method allowing us to compute them exactly. In particular, we evaluate the generalization…

In a previous paper, the second author defined integer-valued functions delta_n on the first cohomology of a 3-manifold, generalizing McMullen's Alexander norm. It was shown that these functions give lower bounds on the Thurston norm. In…
