We prove that among 1 and the odd zeta values $\zeta(3)$, $\zeta(5)$, \ldots, $\zeta(s)$, at least $ 0.21 \sqrt{s}/\sqrt{\log s}$ are linearly independent over the rationals, for any sufficiently large odd integer $s$. This is the first…

Consider an operator that takes the Fourier transform of a discrete measure supported in $\mathcal{X}\subset[-\frac 12,\frac 12)^d$ and restricts it to a compact $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d$. We provide lower bounds for its smallest singular…

Let $\sigma(n)$ be the sum of the divisors of $n$. Kalita and Saikia defined a number $n$ to be near superperfect if $2n+d=\sigma(\sigma(n))$ for some positive divisor $d$ of $n$. We extend some of their results about near superperfect…

We prove that the first eigenvalue of the fractional Dirichlet-Laplacian of order $s$ on a simply connected set of the plane can be bounded from below in terms of its inradius only. This is valid for $1/2<s<1$ and we show that this…

For $\lambda \in (1/2, 1)$ and $\alpha$, we consider sets of numbers $x$ such that for infinitely many $n$, $x$ is $2^{-\alpha n}$-close to some $\sum_{i=1}^n \omega_i \lambda^i$, where $\omega_i \in \{0,1\}$. These sets are in Falconer's…

Let $S = \{ {A_1},{A_2}, \cdots ,{A_n}\} $ be a finite point set in m-dimensional Euclidean space ${E^m}$, and$\left\| {{A_i}{A_j}} \right\|$ be the distance between $A_i$ and $A_j$. Define $\sigma (S) = \sum\limits_{1 \le i < j \le n}…

Let $S$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane, $\wp(S)$ be the set of all simple polygons crossing $S$, $\gamma_P$ be the maximum angle of polygon $P \in \wp(S)$ and $\theta =min_{P\in\wp(S)} \gamma_P$. In this paper, we prove that…

We describe along the guidelines of Kohn "Quantitative estimates..." (1999), the constant E_s which is needed to control the commutator of a totally real vector field T with di-bar* in order to have Sobolev s-regularity of the Bergman…

Fix a subset $I\subseteq \mathbb R_{>0}$ such that $\gamma=\inf\{ \sum_{i}n_ib_i-1>0 \mid n_i\in \mathbb Z_{\geq 0}, b_i\in I \}>0$. We give a explicit upper bound $\ell(\gamma)\in O(1/\gamma^2)$ as $\gamma\to 0$, such that for any smooth…

For $\delta>0$ sufficiently small and $A\subset \mathbb{Z}^k$ with $|A+A|\le (2^k+\delta)|A|$, we show either $A$ is covered by $m_k(\delta)$ parallel hyperplanes, or satisfies $|\widehat{\operatorname{co}}(A)\setminus A|\le c_k\delta |A|$,…

An explicit subconvex bound for the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ on the critical line $s=1/2+it$ is proved. Previous subconvex bounds relied on an incorrect version of the Kusmin-Landau lemma. After accounting for the needed correction…

The union-closed sets conjecture states that in any nonempty union-closed family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of a finite set, there exists an element contained in at least a proportion $1/2$ of the sets of $\mathcal{F}$. Using the…

We investigate subsets with small sumset in arbitrary abelian groups. For an abelian group $G$ and an $n$-element subset $Y \subseteq G$ we show that if $m \ll s^2/(\log n)^2$, then the number of subsets $A \subseteq Y$ with $|A| = s$ and…

We study dimensions of sets projected to an $(n-2)$-dimensional family of hyperplanes in $\mathbb{R}^n$ under curvature conditions. Let $n\ge 3$ and $\Sigma \subset S^{n-1}$ be an $(n-2)$-dimensional $C^2$ manifold such that $\Sigma$ has…

We obtain conditional upper bounds for negative discrete moments of the derivative of the Riemann zeta-function averaged over a subfamily of zeros of the zeta function which is expected to have full density inside the set of all zeros. For…

Let $S(\sigma,t)=\frac{1}{\pi}\arg\zeta(\sigma+it)$ be the argument of the Riemann zeta-function at the point $\sigma+it$ in the critical strip. For $n\geq 1$ and $t>0$, we define \begin{equation*} S_{n}(\sigma,t) = \int_0^t…

Let $a(1) >0$, $a(n) \ge 0$ for $n \ge 2$ and $a(n) = O(n^\varepsilon)$ for any $\varepsilon >0$, and put $Z(\sigma + it):= \sum_{n=1}^\infty a(n) n^{-\sigma - it}$ where $\sigma , t \in {\mathbb{R}}$. In the present paper, we show that any…

Helfgott proved that there exists a $\delta>0$ such that if $S$ is a symmetric generating subset of $SL(2,p)$ containing 1 then either $S^3=SL(2,p)$ or $|S^3|\geq |S|^{1+\delta}$. It is known that $\delta\geq 1/3024$. Here we show that…

Starting from the symmetrical reflection functional equation of the zeta function, we have found that the sigma values satisfying zeta(s) = 0 must also satisfy both |zeta(s)| = |zeta(1 - s)| and |gamma(s/2)zeta(s)| = |gamma((1 - s)/2)zeta(1…

Let $s$ be the sum-of-digits function in base $2$, which returns the number of $\mathtt 1$s in the base-2 expansion of a nonnegative integer. For a nonnegative integer $t$, define the asymptotic density \[ c_t=\lim_{N\rightarrow \infty}…
