Let $(X, d)$ be a compact metric space, and let $Q \subset X$ be countable. Given functions $R: Q \to \mathbb{R}^+$ and $\phi: \mathbb{R}^+ \to \mathbb{R}^+$, we consider the set $E(Q, R, \phi)$ of points $x \in X$ that ``hit'' the…
Let $(\mathbf{B}, \|\cdot\|)$ be a real separable Banach space. Let $\varphi(\cdot)$ and $\psi(\cdot)$ be two continuous and increasing functions defined on $[0, \infty)$ such that $\varphi(0) = \psi(0) = 0$, $\lim_{t \rightarrow \infty}…
Given a non-increasing function $\psi\colon\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{R}^+$ such that $s^{\frac{n+1}{n}}\psi(s)$ tends to zero as $s$ goes to infinity, we show that the set of points in $\mathbb{R}^n$ that are exactly $\psi$-approximable is…
Lehmer's totient problem asks whether there exists any composite number $n$ such that $\varphi(n) \, \mid \, (n-1)$, where $\varphi$ is Euler totient function. It is known that if any such $n$ exists, it must be Carmichael and $n >…
For $x>0$ let $\pi(x)$ denote the number of primes not exceeding $x$. For integers $a$ and $m>0$, we determine when there is an integer $n>1$ with $\pi(n)=(n+a)/m$. In particular, we show that for any integers $m>2$ and $a\le\lceil…
We obtain an estimate for the cubic Weyl sum which improves the bound obtained from Weyl differencing for short ranges of summation. In particular, we show that for any $\varepsilon>0$ there exists some $\delta>0$ such that for any coprime…
For a real analytic periodic function $\phi:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$, an integer $b\ge 2$ and $\lambda\in (1/b,1)$, we prove the following dichotomy for the Weierstrass-type function $W(x)=\sum\limits_{n\ge 0}{{\lambda}^n\phi(b^nx)}$:…
For plurisubharmonic functions $\varphi$ and $\psi$ lying in the Cegrell class of $\mathbb{B}^n$ and $\mathbb{B}^m$ respectively such that the Lelong number of $\varphi$ at the origin vanishes, we show that the mass of the origin with…
Let Q be an infinite set of positive integers. Denote by W_{\tau, n}(Q) (resp. W_{\tau, n}) the set of points in dimension n simultaneously \tau--approximable by infinitely many rationals with denominators in Q (resp. in N*). A non--trivial…
We say that a sequence $(x_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ in $[0,1)$ has Poissonian pair correlations if \begin{equation*} \lim_{N \to \infty} \frac{1}{N} \# \left \lbrace 1 \leq l \neq m \leq N: \| x_l - x_m \| \leq \frac{s}{N} \right \rbrace = 2s…
Let $\mathcal{S}=\{1^2,2^2,3^2,...\}$ be the set of squares and $\mathcal{W}=\{w_n\}_{n=1}^{\infty} \subset \mathbb{N}$ be an additive complement of $\mathcal{S}$ so that $\mathcal{S} + \mathcal{W} \supset \{n \in \mathbb{N}: n \geq N_0\}$…
In this paper, we study the mixed Littlewood conjecture with pseudo-absolute values. For any pseudo absolute value sequence $\mathcal{D}$, we obtain the sharp criterion such that for almost every $\alpha$ the inequality \begin{equation*}…
Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the set of all primes and $\psi(n)=n\prod_{n\in \mathcal{P},p|n}(1+1/p)$ be the Dedekind psi function. We show that the Riemann hypothesis is satisfied if and only if $f(n)=\psi(n)/n-e^{\gamma} \log \log n <0$ for all…
In this paper we prove an upper bound on the "size" of the set of multiplicatively $\psi$-approximable points in $\mathbb R^d$ for $d>1$ in terms of $f$-dimensional Hausdorff measure. This upper bound exactly complements the known lower…
We prove that for any proper metric space $X$ and a function $\psi:(0,\infty)\to(0,\infty)$ from a suitable class of approximation functions, the Hausdorff dimensions of the set $W_\psi(Q)$ of all points $\psi$-well-approximable by a…
Let $\psi:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}_+$ be a monotonically non-increasing function, and let $\psi_v:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}_+$ be defined by $\psi_v(q)=1/q^v$. In this article, we consider self-similar sets whose iterated…
The aim of this note is to provide an upper bound of the number of positive integers $\le x$ which can be written as $\varphi(n)$ for some positive integer $n$, where $\varphi$ stands for the Euler's function. The order of magnitude of this…
