We study sums of Dirichlet characters over polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ with a prescribed number of irreducible factors. Our main results are explicit formulae for these sums in terms of zeros of Dirichlet L-functions. We also exhibit…

A classical result of Paley shows that there are infinitely many quadratic characters $\chi\mod{q}$ whose character sums get as large as $\sqrt{q}\log \log q$; this implies that a conditional upper bound of Montgomery and Vaughan cannot be…

In this article, we obtain new results for Fourier restriction type problems on compact Lie groups. We first provide a sharp form of $L^p$ estimates of irreducible characters in terms of their Laplace-Beltrami eigenvalue and as a…

The plethysms of the Weyl characters associated to a classical Lie group by the symmetric functions stabilize in large rank. In the case of a power sum plethysm, we prove that the coefficients of the decomposition of this stabilized form on…

We study the arithmetic (real) function, with f 'essentially bounded'. In particular, we obtain non-trivial bounds, through f 'correlations', for the 'Selberg integral' and the 'symmetry integral' of f in almost all short intervals…

We make explicit a result of Selberg on the argument of Dirichlet $L$-functions averaged over non-principal characters modulo a prime $q$. As a corollary, we show for all sufficiently large prime $q$ that the height of the lowest…

When solving a number of problems in prime number theory, it is sufficient that $t(x;q)$ admits an estimate close to this one. The best known estimates for $t(x;q)$ previously belonged to G.~Montgomery, R.~Vaughn, and Z.~Kh.~Rakhmonov. In…

We obtain a new upper bound for binary sums with multiplicative characters over variables belong to some sets, having small additive doubling.

We study exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n=1}^N e^{2\pi i a b^n/m}$ for non-zero integers $a,b,m$. Classically, non-trivial bounds were known for $N\ge \sqrt{m}$ by Korobov, and this range has been extended significantly by Bourgain as…

We use a trivial delta method with multiplicative characters for congruence detection to prove the Weyl bound for GL(2) in $t$-aspect for a holomorphic or Hecke-Maass cusp form of arbitrary level and nebentypus. This parallels the work of…

We prove a Lindel\"of-on-average upper bound for the fourth moment of Dirichlet $L$-functions of conductor $q$ along a coset of the subgroup of characters modulo $d$ when $q^*|d$, where $q^*$ is the least positive integer such that…

We prove new bounds for the Fourier coefficients of Jacobi forms using a method of Iwaniec. In view of the Fourier-Jacobi expansion of degree two Siegel modular forms, we can use these to obtain strong bounds on fundamental Fourier…

We prove two unconditional upper bounds on the gaps between ordinates of consecutive non-trivial zeros of a general $L$-function $L(s)$. This extends previous work of Hall and Hayman (2000) on the Riemann zeta-function and work of Siegel…

Let $\boldsymbol{\alpha}\in \mathbb{R}^N$ and $Q\geq 1$. We consider the sum $\sum_{\boldsymbol{q}\in [-Q,Q]^N\cap\mathbb{Z}^N\backslash\{\boldsymbol{0}\}}\|\boldsymbol{\alpha}\cdot\boldsymbol{q}\|^{-1}$. Sharp upper bounds are known when…

Building on the results of [1,2], we study the resurgence of $q$-Pochhammer symbols and determine their summability and quantum modularity properties. We construct a new, infinite family of pairs of modular resurgent series from the…

Let $f_1,f_2$ be holomorphic modular forms of the same weight for a cocompact lattice $\Gamma < \mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbf{R})$. We estimate the rate of decay of the coefficients in the expansion of $f_1\overline{f_2}$ in a Laplace eigenbasis.…

In 2005 Wolfgang Willems put forward a conjecture proposing a lower bound for the sum of squares of the degrees of the irreducible $p$-Brauer characters of a finite group $G$. We prove this conjecture for the prime $p=2$. For this we rely…

We establish sharp lower bounds for shifted (with two shifts) moments of Dirichlet $L$-function of fixed modulus under the generalized Riemann hypothesis.

This paper proves nontrivial bounds for short mixed character sums by introducing estimates for Vinogradov's mean value theorem into a version of the Burgess method.

We estimate double sums $$ S_\chi(a, I, G) = \sum_{x \in I} \sum_{\lambda \in G} \chi(x + a\lambda), \qquad 1\le a < p-1, $$ with a multiplicative character $\chi$ modulo $p$ where $I= \{1,\ldots, H\}$ and $G$ is a subgroup of order $T$ of…
