We find an upper bound for the sum $\sum_{x<n\leq 2x}\textbf{1}_{\mathbb{P}}(n+h_{i_{1}})\cdots\textbf{1}_{\mathbb{P}}(n+h_{i_{m+1}})w_{n}$, where $(h_{i_{1}},...,h_{i_{m+1}})$ is any $(m+1)$-tuple of elements in the admissible set…
Let $a_0\in\{0,\dots,9\}$. We show there are infinitely many prime numbers which do not have the digit $a_0$ in their decimal expansion. The proof is an application of the Hardy-Littlewood circle method to a binary problem, and rests on…
We establish a scaling limit result for the length $\operatorname{LIS}(\sigma_n)$ of the longest increasing subsequence of a permutation $\sigma_n$ of size $n$ sampled from the Brownian separable permuton $\boldsymbol{\mu}_p$ of parameter…
We show that there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that $p-1$ is divisible by a square $d^2 \geq p^\theta$ for $\theta=1/2+1/2000.$ This improves the work of Matom\"aki (2009) who obtained the result for $\theta=1/2-\varepsilon$ (with…
We implement the Maynard-Tao method of detecting primes in tuples to investigate small gaps between primes in arithmetic progressions, with bounds that are uniform over a range of moduli.
We show that $$\sum_{\substack{p_n \in [x, 2x] \\ p_{n+1} - p_n \ge x^{1/2}}} (p_{n+1} - p_n) \ll x^{0.57+\epsilon}$$ and $$\sum_{\substack{p_n \in [x, 2x] \\ p_{n+1} - p_n \ge x^{0.45}}} (p_{n+1} - p_n) \ll x^{0.63+\epsilon},$$ where $p_n$…
We consider suspension semiflows of an angle multiplying map on the circle and study the distributions of periods of their periodic orbits. Under generic conditions on the roof function, we give an asymptotic formula on the number $\pi(T)$…
We provide upper and lower bounds for the expected length $\mathbb E(L_{n,m})$ of the longest common pattern contained in $m$ random permutations of length $n$. We also address the tightness of the concentration of $L_{n,m}$ around $\mathbb…
Let $X$ be large and let $\mathcal{P}$ denote the set of primes. Fix positive real parameters $r_1,\dots,r_s$ and a parameter $\lambda\geqslant 1$ determined by a balancing relation, and let $\mathcal{A}_{\lambda}(X)\subset[1,2X]$ be the…
We identify the maximal real interval on which $\sin_{p,n}$ is real-analytic for any real number $p>1$ and any integer $n>1$. We achieve this by first proving that $\sin_{p,n}$ is analytic at $(1/2){\pi}_{p,n}$ iff $p=m/(m-1)$ for some…
Assuming that the pion-pion scattering amplitude and its absorptive part are analytic inside an ellipse in $t$- plane with foci $t=0$, $u=0$ and right extremity $t=4 m_{\pi}^2 +\epsilon $, ($\epsilon > 0$), except for cuts prescribed by…
We study the average distribution of primes of size $x$ in arithmetic progressions to moduli larger than $x^{\frac{1}{2}}$. Using arithmetic information from the works of many authors together with different variants of the original…
Suppose that $1<c<9/8$. For any $m\geq 1$, there exist infinitely many $n$ such that $$ \{[n^c],\ [(n+1)^c],\ \ldots,\ [(n+k_0)^c]\} $$ contains at least $m+1$ primes, if $k_0$ is sufficiently large (only depending on $m$).
For $0\le k\le n$, write $\binom nk=uv$ where the primes dividing $u$ are at most $k$ and the primes dividing $v$ exceed $k$, and let $f(n)$ be the least $k$ with $u>n^2$; Erd\H{o}s problem 684 asks for bounds on $f(n)$. We resolve the…
On the assumption of the Riemann hypothesis, we give explicit upper bounds on the difference between consecutive prime numbers.
Let $P_1,\dots,P_k \colon {\bf Z} \to {\bf Z}$ be polynomials of degree at most $d$ for some $d \geq 1$, with the degree $d$ coefficients all distinct, and admissible in the sense that for every prime $p$, there exists integers $n,m$ such…
The author shows that there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that for any nonzero integer $a$, $p-a$ is divisible by a square $d^2 > p^{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{700}}$. The exponent $\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{700}$ improves Merikoski's…
The classical problem of maximizing the Shannon entropy of a sum of independent random variables supported on a finite alphabet is considered and settled in the ternary case. Namely, the following theorem is established: if…
This paper is concerned with the finite sample identification performance of an n dimensional discrete-time Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Linear Time-Invariant system, with p inputs and m outputs. We prove that the widely-used…
Let $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ be a sequence of independent random points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with common Lebesgue density $f$. Under some conditions on $f$, we obtain a Poisson limit theorem, as $n \to \infty$, for the number of large probability…
