We give an explicit version for van der Corput's $d$-th derivative estimate of exponential sums. $ \textbf{Theorem.}$ Let $X$, and $Y\in\mathbb{R}$ be such that $\lfloor Y\rfloor>d$ where $d\ge3$ is a natural number. Let…

We present a hybrid approach to bounding exponential sums over kth powers via Vinogradov's mean value theorem, and derive estimates of utility for exponents k of intermediate size.

We show for all $1/2 \le \sigma \le 1$ and $t\ge 3$ that $\zeta(\sigma+it)| \le 76.2 t^{4.45 (1-\sigma)^{3/2}}$, where $\zeta$ is the Riemann zeta function. This significantly improves the previous bounds, where $4.45$ is replaced by…

In this paper, we use methods of exponential sums to derive a formula for estimating effective upper bounds of $|\zeta'(1/2+it)|$. Different effective upper bounds can be obtained by choosing different parameters.

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…

We give an upper bound for the exponential $\sum_{m=1}^M \exp( 2i\pi f (m))$ in terms of $M$ and $\lambda$, where $\lambda$ is a small positive number which denotes the size of the fourth derivative of the real valued function $f$. The…

We obtain estimates for Vinogradov's integral which for the first time approach those conjectured to be the best possible. Several applications of these new bounds are provided. In particular, the conjectured asymptotic formula in Waring's…

We obtain sharp estimates for multidimensional generalisations of Vinogradov's mean value theorem for arbitrary translation-dilation invariant systems, achieving constraints on the number of variables approaching those conjectured to be the…

This paper introduces a general technique for estimating the absolute value of pure Gaussian sums of order k over a prime p for a class of composite order k. The new estimate improves the classical estimate by a factor of about 2 or better…

In this paper, we obtain some improved results for the exponential sum $\sum_{x<n\leq 2x}\Lambda(n)e(\alpha k n^{\theta})$ with $\theta\in(0,5/12),$ where $\Lambda(n)$ is the von Mangoldt function. Such exponential sums have relations with…

Recent progress on Vinogradov's mean value theorem has resulted in improved estimates for exponential sums of Weyl type. We apply these new estimates to obtain sharper bounds for the function $H(k)$ in the Waring--Goldbach problem. We…

We prove a new mean-value theorem for Dirichlet polynomials with coefficients given by the von Mangoldt function. We then use our theorem to derive new estimates for certain exponential sums over primes. The latter have applications to…

We establish an essentially optimal estimate for the ninth moment of the exponential sum having argument $\alpha x^3+\beta x$. The first substantial advance in this topic for over 60 years, this leads to improvements in Heath-Brown's…

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…

Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we obtain a formula for the mean value of the $k$-derivative of $\zeta'/\zeta$, depending on the pair correlation of zeros of the Riemann zeta-function. This formula allows us to obtain new equivalences to…

We develop a multigrade enhancement of the efficient congruencing method to estimate Vinogradov's integral of degree $k$ for moments of order $2s$, thereby obtaining near-optimal estimates for $\tfrac{5}{8}k^2<s\le k^2-k+1$. There are…

We obtain finite field analogues of a series of recent results on various mean value theorems for Weyl sums. Instead of the Vinogradov Mean Value Theorem, our results rest on the classical argument of Mordell, combined with several other…

Improving and extending recent results of the author, we conditionally estimate exponential sums with Dirichlet coefficients of L-functions, both over all integers and over all primes in an interval. In particular, we establish new…

First we prove a modified version of the famous Lemma on the mean square estimate for exponential sums, by plugging the Cesaro weights in the right hand side of Gallagher's inequality. Then we apply it, in order to establish a mean value…

In the first paper of this series we established new upper bounds for multi-variable exponential sums associated with a quadratic form. The present study shows that if one adds a linear term in the exponent, the estimates can be further…
