We prove the asymptotic large volume expression of diagonal form factors in integrable models by evaluating carefully the diagonal limit of a non-diagonal form factor in which we send the rapidity of the extra particle to infinity.
We show that every cubic form with coefficients in an imaginary quadratic number field $K/\mathbb{Q}$ in at least $14$ variables represents zero non-trivially. This builds on the corresponding seminal result by Heath-Brown for rational…
We prove a local-global principle for primitive representations of binary quadratic forms by quaternary quadratic forms. Our method is a variant of Linnik's ergodic method showing density for certain homogenous toral sets. The central…
We examine a bias towards the zero residue class for the integers represented by binary quadratic forms. In many cases, we are able to prove that the bias comes from a secondary term in the associated asymptotic expansion (unlike…
We prove that suitable asymptotic formulae in short intervals hold for the problems of representing an integer as a sum of a prime square and a square, or a prime square. Such results are obtained both assuming the Riemann Hypothesis and in…
We give more evidence for Patterson's conjecture on sums of exponential sums, by getting an asymptotic for a sum of quartic exponential sums over $\Q[i].$ Previously, the strongest evidence of Patterson's conjecture over a number field is…
This note focuses on the problem of representing convex sets as projections of the cone of positive semidefinite matrices, in the particular case of sets generated by bivariate polynomials of degree four. Conditions are given for the convex…
Let $r_Q(n)$ be the representation number of a nonnegative integer $n$ by the quaternary quadratic form $Q=x_1^2+2x_2^2+x_3^2+x_4^2+x_1x_3+x_1x_4+x_2x_4$. We first prove the identity $r_Q(p^2n)=r_Q(p^2)r_Q(n)/r_Q(1)$ for any prime $p$…
In this paper, we determine all the positive integers $a, b$ and $c$ such that every nonnegative integer can be represented as $$ f^{a,b}_c(x,y,z,w)=ax^2+by^2+c(z^2+zw+w^2) \,\, \textrm{with} \,\,x,y,z,w\in\mathbb{Z}. $$ Furthermore, we…
We investigate the probability that a random quadratic form in ${\mathbb{Z}}[x_1,...,x_n]$ has a totally isotropic subspace of a given dimension. We show that this global probability is a product of local probabilities. Our main result…
We prove a local-global principle for representations of binary by quaternary quadratic forms. One of the main ingredients is a recent measure rigidity result of Einsiedler and Lindenstrauss for diagonalizable actions on quotients of…
By adopting a new approach to the analysis of the density of p-adic solutions arising in applications of the circle method, we show that under modest conditions the existence of non-trivial p-adic solutions suffices to establish positivity…
Let $f$ be a positive definite integral ternary quadratic form and let $r(k,f)$ be the number of representations of an integer $k$ by $f$. In this article we study the number of representations of squares by $f$. We say the genus of $f$,…
Let $Q$ be a positive-definite quaternary quadratic form with integer coefficients. We study the problem of giving bounds on the largest positive integer $n$ that is locally represented by $Q$ but not represented. Assuming that $n$ is…
We study the fundamental relationship between stable quotient invariants and the B-model for local CP2 in all genera. Our main result is a direct geometric proof of the holomorphic anomaly equation in the precise form predicted by B-model…
Let $h(-n)$ be the class number of the imaginary quadratic field with discriminant $-n$. We establish an asymtotic formula for correlations involving $h(-n)$ and $h(-n-l)$, over fundamental discriminants that avoid the congruence class…
We obtain the quadratic term in Euler's asymptotic expansion of the nth harmonic number by a simple modification of Young's elementary determination of the linear term.
In this paper, we give a formula for the proper class number of a binary quadratic polynomial assuming that the conductor ideal is sufficiently divisible at dyadic places. This allows us to study the growth of the proper class numbers of…
For non-singular intersections of pairs of quadrics in 11 or more variables, we prove an asymptotic for the number of rational points in an expanding box.
We study the number of facets of the convex hull of n independent standard Gaussian points in d-dimensional Euclidean space. In particular, we are interested in the expected number of facets when the dimension is allowed to grow with the…
