We prove some new log-free density theorems for zeros of Dirichlet L-functions (which accordingly are more sharp than earlier ones near to the boundary line of the critical strip). The results can be applied in several problems of prime…

We prove that there are arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions of primes. There are three major ingredients. The first is Szemeredi's theorem, which asserts that any subset of the integers of positive density contains progressions of…

The present paper studies density deconvolution in the presence of small Berkson errors, in particular, when the variances of the errors tend to zero as the sample size grows. It is known that when the Berkson errors are present, in some…

We provide estimates for the dimensions of sets in $\mathbb{R}$ which uniformly avoid finite arithmetic progressions. More precisely, we say $F$ uniformly avoids arithmetic progressions of length $k \geq 3$ if there is an $\epsilon>0$ such…

Fix a set $D$ of positive integers. We study the maximum density $\mu(D)$ of sequences of integers in which the separation between any two terms does not fall in $D$. The $D$-sets considered in this article are of the form $\{1,j,k\}$. The…

Fix a prime $p\geq 11$. We show that there exists a positive integer $m$ such that any subset of $\mathbb{F}_p^n\times\mathbb{F}_p^n$ containing no nontrivial configurations of the form $(x,y),(x,y+z),(x,y+2z),(x+z,y)$ must have density…

In this paper, we prove a time dependent lower bound on density in the optimal order $O(1/(1+t))$ for the general smooth nonisentropic flow of compressible Euler equations.

The paper studies recoverability of missing values for sequences in a pathwise setting without probabilistic assumptions. This setting is oriented on a situation where the underlying sequence is considered as a sole sequence rather than a…

A set of positive integers $A \subset \mathbb{Z}_{> 0}$ is \emph{log-sparse} if there is an absolute constant $C$ so that for any positive integer $x$ the sequence contains at most $C$ elements in the interval $[x,2x)$. In this note we…

We show that for integer $n>0$, any subset $A \subset Z_4^n$ free of three-term arithmetic progressions has size $|A| < 4^{c n}$, with an absolute constant $c \approx 0.926$.

This paper studies higher index theory for a random sequence of bounded degree, finite graphs with diameter tending to infinity. We show that in a natural model for such random sequences the following hold almost surely: the coarse…

For a general family of non-negative functions matching upper and lower bounds are established for their average over the values of any equidistributed sequence.

Suppose that $A \subset \mathbb{R}$ has positive upper density, \[ \limsup_{|I| \to \infty} \frac{|A \cap I|}{|I|} = \delta > 0,\] and $P(t) \in \mathbb{R}[t]$ is a polynomial with no constant or linear term, or more generally a non-flat…

Let n(2,k) denote the largest integer n for which there exists a set A of k nonnegative integers such that the sumset 2A contains {0,1,2,...,n-1}. A classical problem in additive number theory is to find an upper bound for n(2,k). In this…

Given a graph $F$, we consider the problem of determining the densest possible pseudorandom graph that contains no copy of $F$. We provide an embedding procedure that improves a general result of Conlon, Fox, and Zhao which gives an upper…

We investigate saturated geometric drawings of graphs with geometric thickness $k$, where no edge can be added without increasing $k$. We establish lower and upper bounds on the number of edges in such drawings if the vertices lie in convex…

Let f_n denote a kernel density estimator of a continuous density f in d dimensions, bounded and positive. Let \Psi(t) be a positive continuous function such that \|\Psi f^{\beta}\|_{\infty}<\infty for some 0<\beta<1/2. Under natural…

Let $r_k(n)$ denote the maximum cardinality of a set $A \subset \{1,2, \dots, n \}$ such that $A$ does not contain a $k$-term arithmetic progression. In this paper, we give a method of constructing such a set and prove the lower bound…

In this paper, we consider $k$-free numbers over Beatty sequences. New results are given.

We use bounds of character sums and some combinatorial arguments to show the abundance of very smooth numbers which also have very few non-zero binary digits.
