We describe mean value estimates for exponential sums of degree exceeding 2 that approach those conjectured to be best possible. The vehicle for this recent progress is the efficient congruencing method, which iteratively exploits the…
We prove a continued fraction expansion for the reciprocal of a certain $q$-series. All the specialists in the world are asked whether it is new or not.
We establish upper bounds for moments of smoothed quadratic Dirichlet character sums under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, confirming a conjecture of M. Jutila.
We give a new proof of Tietze Theorem on the convergence of infinite semi-regular continued fractions.
In this paper, we present several new bounds for the norm and numerical radius of sums of Hilbert space operators. The obtained bounds form a new collection that enriches our understanding of these bounds. We compare our bounds with the…
An upper estimate for the Lempert function of any $C^{1+\epsilon}$-smooth bounded domain in $\Bbb C^n$ is found in terms of the boundary distance.
In this short note we derive, for bounded domains, an upper bound for a Friedrichs type constant in a weighted Friedrichs type inequality. This upper bound generalizes a well known upper bound of the Friedrichs constant. This upper bound is…
The aim of this work is to illustrate a conditional result involving the exponential sums over primes in short intervals under the assumption that both the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis and the Density Hypothesis for Dirichlet…
We give generating functions for Gauss sums for finite general linear and unitary groups. For the general linear case only our method of proof is new, but we deduce a bound on Kloosterman sums which is sometimes sharper than Deligne's bound…
We present a new approach to the question of when the commutativity of operator exponentials implies that of the operators. This is proved in the setting of bounded normal operators on a complex Hilbert space. The proofs are based on some…
We introduce a general class $F_0$ of additive functions $f$ such that $f(p) = 1$ and prove a tight bound for exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n \le x} f(n) e(\alpha n)$ where $f \in F_0$ and $e(\theta) = \exp(2\pi i \theta)$. Both…
We obtain reasonably tight upper and lower bounds on the sum $\sum_{n \leqslant x} \varphi \left( \left\lfloor{x/n}\right\rfloor\right)$, involving the Euler functions $\varphi$ and the integer parts $\left\lfloor{x/n}\right\rfloor$ of the…
Recent developments in the theory and application of the Hardy-Littlewood method are discussed, concentrating on aspects associated with diagonal diophantine problems. Recent efficient differencing methods for estimating mean values of…
A partial fraction decomposition of the Fermi function resulting in a finite sum over simple poles is proposed. This allows for efficient calculations involving the Fermi function in various contexts of electronic structure or electron…
We investigate exponential sums modulo primes whose phase function is a sparse polynomial, with exponents growing with the prime. In particular, such sums model those which appear in the study of the quantum cat map. While they are not…
Gelfond and Khovanskii found a formula for the sum of the values of a Laurent polynomial over the zeros of a system of n Laurent polynomials in the algebraic n-torus. We expect that a similar formula holds in the case of exponential sums…
We obtain an optimal deviation from the mean upper bound \begin{equation} D(x)\=\sup_{f\in \F}\mu\{f-\E_{\mu} f\geq x\},\qquad\ \text{for}\ x\in\R\label{abstr} \end{equation} where $\F$ is the class of the integrable, Lipschitz functions on…
We derive a lower bound on the size of finite non-cyclic quotients of the braid group that is superexponential in the number of strands. We also derive a similar lower bound for nontrivial finite quotients of the commutator subgroup of the…
In this paper we continue our study, begun in part I, of the exceptional set of integers, not restricted by elementary congruence conditions, which cannot be represented as sums of three or four squares of primes. We correct a serious…
We study upper bounds for sums of Dirichlet characters. We prove a uniform upper bound of the character sum over all proper generalized arithmetic progressions, which generalizes the classical Polya and Vinogradov inequality. Our argument…
