In this paper, we study the $L^p$ maximal estimates for the Weyl sums $\sum_{n=1}^{N}e^{2\pi i(nx + n^{k}t)}$ with higher-order $k\ge3$ on $\mathbb{T}$, and obtain the positive and negative results. Especially for the case $k=3$, our result…

We examine sets $\mathscr A$ of natural numbers having the property that for some real number $p\in (0,2)$, one has the subconvex bound $$\int_0^1 \Bigl| \sum_{n\in \mathscr A\cap [1,N]}e(n\alpha)\Bigr|^p\, {\rm d}\alpha \ll N^{-1}|\mathscr…

The problem of representing a given positive integer as a sum of four squares of integers has been widely concerned for a long time, and for a given positive odd $n$ one can find a representation by doing arithmetic in a maximal order of…

In a previous paper with the same title, we gave an upper bound for the exponent of uniform rational approximation to a quadruple of $\mathbb{Q}$-linearly independent real numbers in geometric progression. Here, we explain why this upper…

We prove the existence of secondary terms of order $X^{5/6}$ in the asymptotic formulas for the average size of the genus number of cubic fields and for the number of cubic fields with a given genus number, establishing improved error…

The main results extend to sums over primes in a short interval earlier estimates by the author for "long" Weyl sums over primes.

We give a new bound on the number of collinear triples for two arbitrary subsets of a finite field. This improves on existing results which rely on the Cauchy inequality. We then us this to provide a new bound on trilinear and quadrilinear…

The set of integers which can be written as the sum of four prime cubes has lower density at least $0.009664$. This improves earlier bounds of $0.003125$ by Ren and $0.005776$ by Liu.

We prove that a positive integer not of the form, 4^{k}(8m+7) can be expressible as a sum of three or fewer squares by using some results of Kane and Sun on mixed sums of squares and triangular numbers.

We prove explicit bounds for the number of sums of consecutive prime squares below a given magnitude.

We establish upper bounds for shifted moments of cubic and quartic Dirichlet $L$-functions under the generalized Riemann hypothesis. As an application, we prove bounds for moments of cubic and quartic Dirichlet character sums.

Let $f$ be a holomorphic Hecke cusp form of weight $k$ for $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$, and let $(\lambda_f(n))_{n\geq 1}$ denote its sequence of normalised Hecke eigenvalues. We compute the first and second moments of the sums…

We develop a heuristic for the density of integer points on affine cubic surfaces. Our heuristic applies to smooth surfaces defined by cubic polynomials that are log K3, but it can also be adjusted to handle singular cubic surfaces. We…

We know that any prime number of form $4s+1$ can be written as a sum of two perfect square numbers. As a consequence of Goldbach's weak conjecture, any number great than $10$ can be represented as a sum of four primes. We are motivated to…

In this short note, we prove a conjecture recently posed by Alekseyev, Amdeberhan, Shallit, and Vukusic on the 3-adic valuation of a cubic binomial sum.

This paper focuses on greedy expansions, one possible representation of numbers, and on arithmetical operations with them. Performing addition or multiplication some additional digits can appear. We study bounds on the number of such digits…

Let $X \subset \mathbf{P}_{\mathbf{Q}}^{n-1}$ be a cubic hypersurface cut out by the vanishing of a non-degenerate rational cubic form in $n$ variables. Let $N(X,B)$ denote the number of rational points on $X$ of height at most $B$. In this…

An arithmetic method of proving the irrationality of smooth projective 3-folds is described, using reduction modulo $p$. It is illustrated by an application to a cubic threefold, for which the hypothesis that its intermediate Jacobian is…

Let $C=Z(f)$ be a reduced plane curve of degree $6k$, with only nodes and ordinary cusps as singularities. Let $I$ be the ideal of the points where $C$ has a cusp. Let $\oplus S(-b_i)\to \oplus S(-a_i) \to S\to S/I$ be a minimal resolution…

It is conjectured that every integer N>454 is the sum of seven nonnegative cubes. We prove the conjecture when N is a multiple of 4.
