We revisit the second order estimate for solutions to the quaternionic Calabi-Yau problem on hyperk\"ahler manifolds, originally established by Dinew and Sroka. In this note, we present a simplified argument to derive the estimate.

Let $A(1,m)$ be the Fourier coefficients of a $SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$ Hecke-Maass cusp form $\pi_1$ and $\lambda(m)$ be those of a $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ Hecke holomorphic or Hecke-Mass cusp form $\pi_2$. Let $H\subset[\![…

Sums of the form $\sum_{n\le x}E^k(n) (k\in{\bf N}$ fixed) are investigated, where $$ E(T) = \int_0^T|\zeta(1/2+it)|^2 dt - T\Bigl(\log {T\over2\pi} + 2\gamma -1\Bigr)$$ is the error term in the mean square formula for $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$.…

For sufficiently large integers $K$, $x$, $y$, and $q$ satisfying $K \le y < x$, where $f(u) = \alpha u^n + \alpha_{n-1}u^{n-1} + \ldots + \alpha_1 u$ is a polynomial of degree $n$ with real coefficients, $n$ is a fixed positive integer,…

We obtain a new bound for incomplete Gauss sums modulo primes. Our argument falls under the framework of Vinogradov's method which we use to reduce the problem under consideration to bounding the number of solutions to two distinct systems…

We study an apparently new question about the behaviour of Weyl sums on a subset $\mathcal{X}\subseteq [0,1)^d$ with a natural measure $\mu$ on $\mathcal{X}$. For certain measure spaces $(\mathcal{X}, \mu)$ we obtain non-trivial bounds for…

Let $Z$ be a $H$-valued Ornstein--Uhlenbeck process, $b\colon[0,1]\times H \rightarrow H$ and $h\colon[0,1] \rightarrow H$ be a bounded, Borel measurable functions with $\|b\|_\infty \leq 1$ then $\mathbb E \exp \alpha \left|…

We establish a new decoupling inequality for curves in the spirit of [B-D1], [B-D2] which implies a new mean value theorem for certain exponential sums crucial to the Bombieri-Iwaniec method as developed further in [H]. In particular, this…

In the convergence analysis of numerical methods for solving partial differential equations (such as finite element methods) one arrives at certain generalized eigenvalue problems, whose maximal eigenvalues need to be estimated as…

We provide a power-saving bound for certain smoothed shifted convolution sums for Fourier coefficients of Siegel cusp forms. This result is the first nontrivial estimate for a shifted convolution sum with two cusp forms on a group of higher…

This paper presents formulae for the sum of the terms of a harmonic progression of order $k$ with integer parameters, $\mathrm{HP}_k(n)$, and for the partial sums of its two associated Fourier series, $C^z_{k}(a,b,n)$ and $S^z_{k}(a,b,n)$.…

We prove lower bounds for the number of primes $p \leq N + b$ such that $p-b$ is divisible by $2^{k(N)}$ and has at most $k$ odd prime factors ($k \geq 2$), assuming $2^{k(N)} \leq N^\theta$ for some $\theta > 0$ depending on $k$. The proof…

We employ a generalised version of Heath-Brown's square sieve in order to establish an asymptotic estimate of the number of solutions $a, b \in \mathbb N$ to the equations $a+b=n$ and $a-b=n$, where $a$ is $k$-free and $b$ is $l$-free. This…

A result of Wright from 1937 shows that there are arbitrarily large natural numbers which cannot be represented as sums of $s$ $k$th powers of natural numbers which are constrained to lie within a narrow region. We show that the analogue of…

We introduce a general class $F_0$ of additive functions $f$ such that $f(p) = 1$ and prove a tight bound for exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n \le x} f(n) e(\alpha n)$ where $f \in F_0$ and $e(\theta) = \exp(2\pi i \theta)$. Both…

Here we solve Pad\'e and Prony interpolation problems for the generalized exponential sums with equal weights: $$H_n(z; h)=\frac{\mu}{n}\sum_{k=1}^n h(\lambda_k z),\quad \text{where}\quad \mu,\lambda_k\in \mathbb{C},$$ and $h$ is a fixed…

It is proved that \[ \sum_{\chi \bmod q}N(\sigma , T, \chi) \lesssim_{\epsilon} (qT)^{7(1-\sigma)/3+\epsilon}, \] where $N(\sigma, T, \chi)$ denote the number of zeros $\rho = \beta + it$ of $L(s, \chi)$ in the rectangle $\sigma \leq \beta…

In the polynomial ring $T=k[y_1,...,y_n]$, with $n>1$, we bound the multiplicity of homogeneous radical ideals $I\subset (y_1^{a_1},...,y_n^{a_n})$ such that $T/I$ is a graded $k$-algebra with Krull dimension one. As a consequence we solve…

We apply a nested variant of multigrade efficient congruencing to estimate mean values related to that of Vinogradov. We show that when $\varphi_j\in \mathbb Z[t]$ $(1\le j\le k)$ is a system of polynomials with non-vanishing Wronskian, and…

Let $F$ be a Hecke-Maass cusp form for $\mathrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{Z})$ and $A(m,n)$ be its normalized Fourier coefficients. Let $V$ be a smooth function, compactly supported on $[1,2]$ and satisfying $V(y)^{j} \ll_j y^{-j}$ for any $j \in…
