In 1917, Hardy and Ramanujan showed that if $\omega(n)$ is the number of distinct prime factors of a randomly chosen positive integer $n,$ then the normal order of $\omega(n)$ is $\log \log \, n.$ This led Erd\H{o}s and Kac to prove their…

We show that for each abelian number field $K$ of sufficiently large degree $d$ there exists an element $\alpha\in K$ with $K=\IQ(\alpha)$ and absolute Weil height $H(\alpha)\ll_d |\Delta_K|^{1/2d}$ , where $\Delta_K$ denotes the…

For a large class of quantized ergodic flows the quantum ergodicity theorem due to Shnirelman, Zelditch, Colin de Verdi\`ere and others states that almost all eigenfunctions become equidistributed in the semiclassical limit. In this work we…

We prove an equidistribution theorem a la Bader-Muchnik for operator-valued measures associated with boundary representations in the context of discrete groups of isometries of CAT(-1) spaces thanks to an equidistribution theorem of T.…

Let $\varphi_{n,K}$ denote the largest angle in all the triangles with vertices among the $n$ points selected at random in a compact convex subset $K$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$ with nonempty interior, where $d\ge2$. It is shown that the…

The structure of the multiplicative group $M_n = ({\mathbb Z}/n{\mathbb Z})^\times$ encodes a great deal of arithmetic information about the integer $n$ (examples include $\phi(n)$, the Carmichael function $\lambda(n)$, and the number…

Let $S$ be a numerical semigroup of embedding dimension $e$ and conductor $c$. The question of Wilf is, if $\#(\mathbb N\setminus S)/c\leq e-1/e$. \noindent In (An asymptotic result concerning a question of Wilf, arXiv:1111.2779v1…

We show that the $ L^2({\mathbb R}) $-unconditional well-posedness, that is well-known for the KdV equation, is shared by KdV type equations with weaker dispersion. This is despite the difference in the nature of these equations, which are…

The Quantum Unique Ergodicity (QUE) conjecture of Rudnick-Sarnak is that every eigenfunction phi_n of the Laplacian on a manifold with uniformly-hyperbolic geodesic flow becomes equidistributed in the semiclassical limit (eigenvalue E_n ->…

Hecke studies the distribution of fractional parts of quadratic irrationals with Fourier expansion of Dirichlet series. This method is generalized by Behnke and Ash-Friedberg, to study the distribution of the number of totally positive…

The generalized Euler number E_{n|k} counts the number of permutations of {1,2,...,n} which have a descent in position m if and only if m is divisible by k. The classical Euler numbers are the special case when k=2. In this paper, we study…

A classical tool in the study of real closed fields are the fields $K((G))$ of generalized power series (i.e., formal sums with well-ordered support) with coefficients in a field $K$ of characteristic 0 and exponents in an ordered abelian…

We investigate the distribution of $\alpha p$ modulo one in quadratic number fields $\mathbb{K}$ with class number one, where $p$ is restricted to prime elements in the ring of integers of $\mathbb{K}$. Here we improve the relevant exponent…

Let $f(N)$ denote the least integer $k$ such that, if $G$ is an abelian group of order $N$ and $A \subseteq G$ is a uniformly random $k$-element subset, then with probability at least $\tfrac12$ the subset-sum set $\{ \sum_{x \in S} x : S…

Granville and Soundararajan showed that the $k$th moment in the Erd\H{o}s--Kac theorem is equal to the $k$th moment of the standard Gaussian distribution in the range $k=o((\log \log x)^{1/3})$, up to a negligible error term. We show that…

Fix a partition $\mu=(\mu_1,\dotsc,\mu_m)$ of an integer $k$ and positive integer $d$. For each $n>k$, let $\chi^\lambda_\mu$ denote the value of the irreducible character of $S_n$ at a permutation with cycle type…

In 2006, Ihara defined and systematically studied a generalization of the Euler-Mascheroni constant for all global fields, named the Euler-Kronecker constants. This paper examines their distribution across geometric quadratic extensions of…

For each odd prime $p$, we conjecture the distribution of the $p$-torsion subgroup of $K_{2n}(\mathcal{O}_F)$ as $F$ ranges over real quadratic fields, or over imaginary quadratic fields. We then prove that the average size of the…

According to a general probabilistic principle, the natural divisors of friable integers (i.e.~free of large prime factors) should normally present a Gaussian distribution. We show that this indeed is the case with conditional density…
