We establish unconditional $\Omega$-results for all weighted even moments of primes in arithmetic progressions. We also study the moments of these moments and establish lower bounds under GRH. Finally, under GRH and LI we prove an…

We study the short-time Fourier transform on the space $\mathcal{K}_{1}'(\mathbb{R}^n)$ of distributions of exponential type. We give characterizations of $\mathcal{K}_{1}'(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and some of its subspaces in terms of modulation…

We provide optimal upper bounds on the growth of iterated sumsets $hA=A+\dots+A$ for finite subsets $A$ of abelian semigroups. More precisely, we show that the new upper bounds recently derived from Macaulay's theorem in commutative algebra…

This paper was motivated by a conjecture of Br\"{a}nd\'{e}n (European J. Combin. \textbf{29} (2008), no.~2, 514--531) about the divisibility of the coefficients in an expansion of generalized Eulerian polynomials, which implies the…

It is conjectured that all separable polynomials with integers coefficients, satisfying some local conditions, take infinitely many square free values on integer arguments. But not a single polynomial of degree greater than $3$ is proven to…

We study M\"obius transformations (also known as linear fractional transformations) of quadratic numbers. We construct explicit upper and lower bounds on the period of the continued fraction expansion of a transformed number as a function…

It is proved a $BMO$-estimation for quadratic partial sums of two-dimensional Fourier series from which it is derived an almost everywhere exponential summability of quadratic partial sums of double Fourier series.

In this paper, we show that, for some constant $C > 0$, the interval $(x, x + C x^{5/26}]$ always contains a squarefree number when $x$ is sufficiently large (in terms of $C$). Our improvement comes from establishing asymptotic relations…

We study "dead ends" in square-free digit walks: square-free integers $N$ such that, in base $b$, every one-digit extension $bN+d$ is non-square-free. In base $10$, the stochastic independence model of Miller et al. suggests that infinite…

In this paper we give a refinement of the bound of D. A. Burgess for multiplicative character sums modulo a prime number $q$. This continues a series of previous logarithmic improvements, which are mostly due to H. Iwaniec and E. Kowalski.…

We consider the uniform distribution of solutions $(x,y)$ to $xy=N \mod a$, and obtain a bound on the second moment of the number of solutions in squares of length approximately $a^{1/2}$. We use this to study a new factoring algorithm that…

We extend to arbitrary measures results of Bao, Erd\"os, Schnelli, Moreillon, and Ji on the connectedness of the supports of additive convolutions of measures on \mathbb{R} and of free multiplicative convolutions of measures on…

A function from $\Bbb F_{2^n}$ to $\Bbb F_{2^n}$ is said to be {\em $k$th order sum-free} if the sum of its values over each $k$-dimensional $\Bbb F_2$-affine subspace of $\Bbb F_{2^n}$ is nonzero. This notion was recently introduced by C.…

We introduce a modification of the linear sieve whose weights satisfy strong factorization properties, and consequently equidistribute primes up to size $x$ in arithmetic progressions to moduli up to $x^{10/17}$. This surpasses the level of…

We show that there exists $\eta > 0$ such that the interval $[X, X + X^{\frac 15 - \eta}]$ contains a squarefree number for all large $X$. This improves on an earlier result of Filaseta and Trifonov who showed that there is a squarefree…

We investigate the asymptotic distribution of integrals of the $j$-function that are associated to ideal classes in a real quadratic field. To estimate the error term in our asymptotic formula, we prove a bound for sums of Kloosterman sums…

We study the distribution of families of multiplicative functions among the coprime residue classes to moduli varying uniformly in a wide range, obtaining analogues of the Siegel--Walfisz Theorem for large classes of multiplicative…

We improve a result of Lau and Zhao on the variance of Fourier coefficients of primitive cuspidal modular forms for SL2(Z) in arithmetic progressions. This is achieved by using bounds on the first moment of Rankin-Selberg L-functions in the…

We establish new Bombieri-Vinogradov type estimates for a wide class of multiplicative arithmetic functions and derive several applications, including: a new proof of a recent estimate by Drappeau and Topacogullari for arithmetical…

We derive explicit upper bounds for various functions counting primes in arithmetic progressions. By way of example, if $q$ and $a$ are integers with $\gcd(a,q)=1$ and $3 \leq q \leq 10^5$, and $\theta(x;q,a)$ denotes the sum of the…
