The purpose of this paper is to prove that certain limits of polynomial rings are themselves polynomial rings, and show how this observation can be used to deduce some interesting results in commutative algebra. In particular, we give two…

We give an elementary proof of the Selberg identity for Kloosterman sums, which only requires the orthogonality of additive characters.

Assuming that the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) holds, we prove an explicit formula for the number of representations of an integer as a sum of $k\geq 5$ primes. Our error terms in such a formula improve by some logarithmic factors…

We prove, for a sufficiently small subset $\mathcal{A}$ of a prime residue field, an estimate on the number of solutions to the equation $(a_1-a_2)(a_3-a_4) = (a_5-a_6)(a_7-a_8)$ with all variables in $\mathcal{A}$. We then derive new…

We define the Kloosterman sum for $SL_4$ over the Kloosterman set via the Bruhat decomposition and stratify the Kloosterman set using the reduced word decomposition of the Weyl group element. The Kloosterman sum for an $SL_4$-long word is…

We obtain some fundamental results, as Bokstedt-Neeman Theorem and Grothendieck duality, about the derived category of modules on a finite ringed space. Then we see how these results are transfered to schemes in a simple way and generalized…

In this paper, we consider mixed sums of generalized polygonal numbers. Specifically, we obtain a finiteness condition for universality of such sums; this means that it suffices to check representability of a finite subset of the positive…

We prove the Sato--Tate distribution of Kloosterman sums over function fields with explicit error terms, when the places vary in arithmetic progressions or short intervals. A joint Sato--Tate distribution of two ``different" exponential…

We derive modular parametrizations for certain infinite series whose summands involve central binomial coefficients and higher-order harmonic numbers. When the rates of convergence are certain rational numbers, modularity allows us to…

We show that, in a restricted range, the divisor function of integers in residue classes modulo a prime follows a Gaussian distribution, and a similar result for Hecke eigenvalues of classical holomorphic cusp forms. Furthermore, we obtain…

We define a new congruence relation on the set of integers, leading to a group similar to the multiplicative group of integers modulo $n$. It makes use of a symmetry almost omnipresent in modular multiplications and halves the number of…

We study for bounded multiplicative functions $f$ sums of the form \begin{align*} \sum_{\substack{n\leq x \atop n\equiv a\pmod q}}f(n), \end{align*} establishing that their variance over residue classes $a \pmod q$ is small as soon as…

In 1939 Rademacher derived a conditionally convergent series expression for the elliptic modular invariant, and used this expression- the first Rademacher sum - to verify its modular invariance. By generalizing Rademacher's approach we…

We provide uniform bounds for sums of Kloosterman sums in all arithmetic progressions. As a consequence, we find that Kloosterman sums do not correlate with periodic functions.

We describe "quasi canonical modules" for modular invariant rings $R$ of finite group actions on factorial Gorenstein domains. From this we derive a general "quasi Gorenstein criterion" in terms of certain 1-cocycles. This generalizes a…

Two conjectures, posed by Finch-Smith, Harrington, and Wong in a paper published in Integers in $2023$, are proven. Given a monic biquadratic polynomial $f(x) = x^4 + cx^2 + e$, we prove a formula for the sum of its distinct outputs modulo…
