We study higher uniformity properties of the von Mangoldt function $\Lambda$, the M\"obius function $\mu$, and the divisor functions $d_k$ on short intervals $(x,x+H]$ for almost all $x \in [X, 2X]$. Let $\Lambda^\sharp$ and $d_k^\sharp$ be…

We use geometric arguments to prove explicit bounds on the mean oscillation for two important rearrangements on $\mathbb{R}^n$. For the decreasing rearrangement $f^*$ of a rearrangeable function $f$ of bounded mean oscillation (BMO) on…

The concentration inequality approach for normal approximation by Stein's method is generalized to the multivariate setting. We use this approach to prove a non-smooth function distance for multivariate normal approximation for standardized…

In this paper, we study the uniform H\"older continuity of the generalized Riemann function $R_{\alpha,\beta}$ (with $\alpha>1$ and $\beta>0$) defined by \[ R_{\alpha,\beta}(x)=\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}\frac{\sin(\pi n^\beta x)}{n^\alpha},\quad…

For $f$ a Rademacher or Steinhaus random multiplicative function, we prove that $$ \max_{\theta \in [0,1]} \frac{1}{\sqrt{N}} \Bigl| \sum_{n \leq N} f(n) \mathrm{e} (n \theta) \Bigr| \gg \sqrt{\log N} ,$$ asymptotically almost surely as $N…

Let $\zeta(.)$ denote the Riemann zeta function and let $a(.)$ and $A(.)$ respectively denote a multiplicative function and its corresponding summatory function. We consider the correlation $$ \langle a(n)A(n-1) \rangle (T) =…

Let $2 \leq y \leq x$ such that $\beta := \frac{\log x}{\log y} \rightarrow \infty$. Let $\omega_y(n)$ denote the number of distinct prime factors $p$ of $n$ such that $p \leq y$, and let $\mu_y(n) := \mu^2(n)(-1)^{\omega_y(n)}$, where…

The sample paths of Brownian motion are known to admit the exact Besov-type smoothness exponent 1/2 when measured in the sub-Gaussian Orlicz norm. We extend these regularity results by deriving the exact limit of the sub-Gaussian Orlicz…

We prove existence of renormalized solutions to general nonlinear elliptic equation in Musielak-Orlicz space avoiding growth restrictions. Namely, we consider \begin{equation*} -{\rm div} A(x,\nabla u)= f\in L^1(\Omega), \end{equation*} on…

In this paper, we prove that the bound \[ \max \{ |8A-7A|,|5f(A)-4f(A)| \} \gg |A|^{\frac{3}{2} + \frac{1}{54}-o(1)} \] holds for all $A \subset \mathbb R$, and for all convex functions $f$ which satisfy an additional technical condition.…

We obtained the formulas for the quantities of positive, negative and zero values of the Mobius function for any real x in terms of the Mobius function values for square root of x - similar to the identities we found earlier for the Mertens…

The orders of magnitudes of the summatory Liouville function L(x), and the summatory Mobius function M(x), are unconditionally proven to be of the forms L(x) = O(x^.5)), and M(x) = O(x^.5) respectively. Furthermore, applications of these…

For $f(z) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n z^n$ and a fixed $z$ in the unit disk, $|z| = r,$ the Bohr operator $\mathcal{M}_r$ is given by \[\mathcal{M}_r (f) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} |a_n| |z^n| = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} |a_n| r^n.\] This papers…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. The Chowla conjecture, in the two-point correlation case, asserts that $$ \sum_{n \leq x} \lambda(a_1 n + b_1) \lambda(a_2 n+b_2) = o(x) $$ as $x \to \infty$, for any fixed natural numbers…

We prove that the primes below $x$ are, on average, equidistributed in arithmetic progressions to smooth moduli of size up to $x^{1/2+1/40-\epsilon}$. The exponent of distribution $\tfrac{1}{2} + \tfrac{1}{40}$ improves on a result of…

We prove that the $k$-th positive integer moment of partial sums of Steinhaus random multiplicative functions over the interval $(x, x+H]$ matches the corresponding Gaussian moment, as long as $H\ll x/(\log x)^{2k^2+2+o(1)}$ and $H$ tends…
