An integer is said to be $y$-friable if its greatest prime factor is less than $y$. In this paper, we obtain estimates for exponential sums over $y$-friable numbers up to $x$ which are non-trivial when $y \geq \exp\{c \sqrt{\log x} \log…
We describe mean value estimates for exponential sums of degree exceeding 2 that approach those conjectured to be best possible. The vehicle for this recent progress is the efficient congruencing method, which iteratively exploits the…
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…
Assuming some pointwise estimates on certain Weyl's sum, we prove the sharp estimates of the mean value associated to the following exponential sum $$ \sum_{n=1}^N e^{2\pi i tn^d +2\pi i xn}\,. $$
In this paper we prove new $(\ell^p, \ell^q)$ bounds for a discrete fractional integral operator by applying techniques motivated by the circle method of Hardy and Littlewood to the Fourier multiplier of the operator. From a different…
In this note, an upper bound for the sum of fractional parts of certain smooth functions is established. Such sums arise naturally in numerous problems of analytic number theory. The main feature is here an improvement of the main term due…
We evaluate friable averages of arithmetic functions whose Dirichlet series is analytically close to some negative power of the Riemann zeta function. We obtain asymptotic expansions resembling those provided by the Selberg-Delange method…
We present estimates for smooth Weyl sums of use on sets of major arcs in applications of the Hardy-Littlewood method. In particular, we derive mean value estimates on major arcs for smooth Weyl sums of degree $k$ delivering essentially…
The main results extend to sums over primes in a short interval earlier estimates by the author for "long" Weyl sums over primes.
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…
We provide new estimates for smooth Weyl sums on minor arcs and explore their consequences for the distribution of the fractional parts of $\alpha n^k$. In particular, when $k\ge 6$ and $\rho(k)$ is defined via the relation…
Let B be a reductive Lie subalgebra of a semi-simple Lie algebra of the same rank both over the complex numbers. To each finite dimensional irreducible representation $V_\lambda$ of F we assign a multiplet of irreducible representations of…
A classical problem in number theory is showing that the mean value of an arithmetic function is asymptotic to its mean value over a short interval or over an arithmetic progression, with the interval as short as possible or the modulus as…
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…
We evaluate friable averages of arithmetic functions whose Dirichlet series is analytically close to some complex power of the Riemann zeta function. We obtain asymptotic expansions resembling those provided by the Selberg-Delange method in…
This paper studies the minimal conditions under which we can establish asymptotic formulae for Waring's problem and other additive problems that may be tackled by the circle method. We confirm in quantitative terms the well-known heuristic…
In this paper, we discuss the Weyl problem in warped product space. We obtain the openness, non rigidity and some applications. These results together with the a priori estimates obtained by Lu imply some existence results. Meanwhile we…
We prove an asymptotic estimate for the growth of variational eigenvalues of fractional p-Laplacian eigenvalue problems on a smooth bounded domain.
Certain theorems of existence, non-existence and uniqueness for boundary value problems modelling axial symmetric problems in general relativity are presented using the Weyl's metric. A solution related to the classical Poiseuille of…
Analytical expressions are derived for the position of irreducible fractions in the Farey sequence $F_N$ of order $N$ for a particular choice of $N$. The asymptotic behaviour is derived obtaining a lower error bound than in previous results…
