For any fixed $k\geq 2$, we prove that every sufficiently large integer can be expressed as the sum of a $k$th power of a prime and a number with at most $M(k)=6k$ prime factors. For sufficiently large $k$ we also show that one can take…

In this paper, we provide novel mean value estimates for exponential sums related to the extended main conjecture of Vinogradov's mean value theorem, by developing the Hardy-Littlewood circle method together with a refined shifting…

Assuming some pointwise estimates on certain Weyl's sum, we prove the sharp estimates of the mean value associated to the following exponential sum $$ \sum_{n=1}^N e^{2\pi i tn^d +2\pi i xn}\,. $$

We study the mean value of sixth power of some exponential sums following an idea due to Bombieri and Iwaniec. The result applies to Weyl's inequality, following an idea due to Heath-Brown

In this paper, we study a density version of the Waring-Goldbach problem. Suppose that A is a subset of the primes, and the lower density of A in the primes is larger than 1-1/2k. We prove that every sufficiently large natural number n…

In this paper, we will present a new iterative construction for the auxiliary equation of Waring's problem, which seems a little simpler than the one of so called "smooth numbers" in papers [4] and [8], and give same upper bounds of G(k) as…

We give an upper bound for the minimum $s$ with the property that every sufficiently large integer can be represented as the sum of $s$ positive $k$-th powers of integers represented as the sum of three positive cubes for the cases $2\leq…

We use transference principle to show that whenever $s$ is suitably large depending on $k \geq 2$, every sufficiently large natural number $n$ satisfying some congruence conditions can be written in the form $n = p_1^k + \dots + p_s^k$,…

We prove two bounds for discrete moments of Weyl sums. The first one can be obtained using a standard approach. The second one involves an observation how this method can be improved, which leads to a sharper bound in certain ranges. The…

We provide new upper bounds for sums of certain arithmetic functions in many variables at polynomial arguments and, exploiting recent progress on the mean-value of the Erd\H os-Hooley $\Delta$-function, we derive lower bounds for the…

Let $h\geq 2$. For $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ write \[ r_{A,h}(n) := \#\{(x_1,\ldots,x_h)\in A^h ~|~ x_1+\cdots+x_h=n\}. \] We prove a general probabilistic subbasis principle: assuming an asymptotic for a weighted $h$-fold representation sum…

We prove a new bound to the exponential sum of the form $$ \sum_{h \sim H}\delta_h \mathop{\sum_{m\sim M}\sum_{n\sim N}}_{mn\sim x}a_{m}b_{n}\e\big(\alpha mn + h(mn + u)^{\gamma}\big), $$ by a new approach to the Type I sum. The sum can be…

In this paper we study Weyl sums over friable integers (more precisely $y$-friable integers up to $x$ when $y = (\log x)^C$ for a large constant $C$). In particular, we obtain an asymptotic formula for such Weyl sums in major arcs,…

The Waring function $g(k,q)$ measures the difficulty of Waring's problem for $k$th powers in the field of $q$ elements. Its calculation seems to be difficult, and many partial results have been published, notably upper bounds for certain…

We obtain a new bound on Weyl sums with degree $k\ge 2$ polynomials of the form $(\tau x+c) \omega(n)+xn$, $n=1, 2, \ldots$, with fixed $\omega(T) \in \mathbb{Z}[T]$ and $\tau \in \mathbb{R}$, which holds for almost all $c\in [0,1)$ and all…

We consider the Linnik--Goldbach problem of writing all large even integers as the sum of two primes and a fixed number of powers of 2. We show that, under the generalised Riemann hypothesis, one can use 6 powers of two. In addition, we…

We study weighted sum processes associated to elements in a Wiener chaos with fixed order. More precisely, we show H\"older estimates and a functional limit theorem for them. Main tools we use are the integration by parts formula in…

Let $H = N^{\theta}, \theta > 2/3$ and $k \geq 1$. We obtain estimates for the following exponential sum over primes in short intervals: \[ \sum_{N < n \leq N+H} \Lambda(n) e(g(n)), \] where $g$ is a polynomial of degree $k$. As a…

Let A be a finite subset of an abelian group (G, +). Let h $\ge$ 2 be an integer. If |A| $\ge$ 2 and the cardinality |hA| of the h-fold iterated sumset hA = A + $\times$ $\times$ $\times$ + A is known, what can one say about |(h -- 1)A| and…

We prove a sharp density theorem for quadratic Waring's problem over cyclic groups, when the number of variables is at least $5$. Also, we obtain some new improvements on the density version of the quadratic Waring--Goldbach problem over…
