Suppose that $\xi^{(n)}_1,\xi^{(n)}_2,...,\xi^{(n)}_n$ are i.i.d with $P(\xi^{(n)}_i=1)=p_n=1-P(\xi^{(n)}_i=0)$. Let $U^{(n)}$ and $W^{(n)}$ be the longest length of arithmetic progressions and of arithmetic progressions mod $n$ relative to…

We investigate exponential sums modulo primes whose phase function is a sparse polynomial, with exponents growing with the prime. In particular, such sums model those which appear in the study of the quantum cat map. While they are not…

We construct bases of quasi-symmetric functions whose product rule is given by the shuffle of binary words, as for multiple zeta values in their integral representations, and then extend the construction to the algebra of free…

We use the large sieve inequality for smooth numbers due to S. Drappeau, A. Granville and X. Shao (2017), together with some other arguments, to improve their bounds on the frequency of pairs $(q,\chi)$ of moduli $q$ and primitive…

We determine the density of integral binary forms of given degree that have squarefree discriminant, proving for the first time that the lower density is positive. Furthermore, we determine the density of integral binary forms that cut out…

We give upper bounds on the size of the gap between the constant term and the next non-zero Fourier coefficient of an entire modular form of given weight for \Gamma_0(2). Numerical evidence indicates that a sharper bound holds for the…

Sequences of discrete random variables are studied whose probability generating functions are zero-free in a sector of the complex plane around the positive real axis. Sharp bounds on the cumulants of all orders are stated, leading to…

We prove non-trivial bounds for bilinear forms with hyper-Kloosterman sums with characters modulo a prime $q$ which, for both variables of length $M$, are non-trivial as soon as $M\geq q^{3/8+\delta}$ for any $\delta>0$. This range, which…

In their recent work, the authors (2016) have combined classical ideas of A. G. Postnikov (1956) and N. M. Korobov (1974) to derive improved bounds on short character sums for certain nonprincipal characters with powerful moduli. In the…

Given a negative $D>-(\log X)^{\log 2-\delta}$, we give a new upper bound on the number of square free integers $<X$ which are represented by some but not all forms of the genus of a primitive positive definite binary quadratic form $f$ of…

We study the distribution modulo one of linear recurrent sequences of real numbers. We prove criteria for the finiteness of the set of limit values of the fractional parts of such a sequence and give lower bounds for the maximal distance…

Let X be a homogeneous tree of degree q+1 (for q between 2 and infinity) and let f be a complex function on X times X for which f(x,y) only depend on the distance between x and y in X. Our main result gives a necessary and sufficient…

Let $s_1, s_2, s_3, \cdots$ be the set of squarefree numbers in ascending order. In this paper, we prove that the following asymptotic on moments of gaps between squarefree numbers \[ \sum_{s_{k+1} \le x} (s_{k+1} - s_k)^\gamma \sim…

We obtain a new bound on exponential sums over integers without large prime divisors, improving that of Fouvry and Tenenbaum (1991). For a fixed integer $\nu\ne 0$, we also obtain new bounds on exponential sums with $\nu$-th powers of such…
