We provide estimates for $s^{\rm th}$ moments of biquadratic smooth Weyl sums, when $10\le s\le 12$, by enhancing the second author's iterative method that delivers estimates beyond the classical convexity barrier. As a consequence, all…

Let $R(n) = \sum_{a+b=n} \Lambda(a)\Lambda(b)$, where $\Lambda(\cdot)$ is the von Mangoldt function. The function $R(n)$ is often studied in connection with Goldbach's conjecture. On the Riemann hypothesis (RH) it is known that $\sum_{n\leq…

We establish new mean value theorems for primes of size $x$ in arithmetic progressions to moduli as large as $x^{3/5-\epsilon}$ when summed with suitably well-factorable weights. This extends well-known work of Bombieri, Friedlander and…

Let $k\geq2$ and $s$ be positive integers. Let $\theta\in(0,1)$ be a real number. In this paper, we establish that if $s>k(k+1)$ and $\theta>0.55$, then every sufficiently large natural number $n$, subjects to certain congruence conditions,…

Let $\frac{a_1}{b_1}, \frac{a_2}{b_2}, \ldots$ be the Farey fractions of order $n$. We then prove that the inequality $(a_l - a_k)(b_l - b_k) \ge 0$ holds for all $k$ and $l > k$ with $l-k \le \left(\frac{1}{12} - o(1) \right)n$, sharpening…

We obtain the exact value of the Hausdorff dimension of the set of coefficients of Gauss sums which for a given $\alpha \in (1/2,1)$ achieve the order at least $N^{\alpha}$ for infinitely many sum lengths $N$. For Weyl sums with polynomials…

It is proved that, if $k\ge2$ is a fixed integer and $1 \ll H \le X/2$, then $$ \int_{X-H}^{X+H}\Delta^4_k(x)\d x \ll_\epsilon X^\epsilon\Bigl(HX^{(2k-2)/k} + H^{(2k-3)/(2k+1)}X^{(8k-8)/(2k+1)}\Bigr), $$ where $\Delta_k(x)$ is the error…

Let $f\in \mathbb{Q}(x)$ be a non-constant rational function. We consider "Waring's Problem for $f(x)$," i.e., whether every element of $\bbq$ can be written as a bounded sum of elements of $\{f(a)\mid a\in \mathbb{Q}\}$. For rational…

In this paper, we study a density version of Waring's problem. We prove that a positive density subset of $k$th-powers forms an asymptotic additive basis of order $O(k^2)$ provided that the relative lower density of the set is greater than…

In this paper we present new embedding results for Musielak-Orlicz Sobolev spaces of double phase type. Based on the continuous embedding of $W^{1,\mathcal{H}}(\Omega)$ into $L^{\mathcal{H}_*}(\Omega)$, where $\mathcal{H}_*$ is the Sobolev…

We give a proof of H\"older continuity for bounded local weak solutions to the equation $u_t= \sum_{i=1}^N (|u_{x_i}|^{p_i-2} u_{x_i})_{x_i}$, in $\Omega \times [0,T]$, with $\Omega \subset \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, under the condition $…

Let $\tau_k(n)$ be the $k$-th divisor function. In this paper, we derive an asymptotic formula for the sum $$ \sum_{1\leq n_1,n_2, \dots, n_{\ell}\leq X^{\frac{1}{r}} \atop 1\leq n_{\ell+1}\le X^{\frac{1}{s}}}\tau_k(n_1^r+n_2^r+\dots…

This article provides an Omega-result for the remainder term in Weyl's law for the spectral counting function of certain (2l+1)-dimensional Heisenberg manifolds.

We prove an effective equidistribution result for a class of higher step nilflows, called filiform nilflows, and derive bounds on Weyl sums for higher degree polynomials with a power saving comparable to the best known, derived by J.…

We generalize the result of (Witkowski, 2014) which binds orders of homogeneous, symmetric means $M,N,K \colon\mathbb{R}_+^2 \to \mathbb{R}_+$ of power growth that satisfy the invariance equation $K(M(x,y),N(x,y))=K(x,y)$ to the broader…
