We study the shifted convolution sums associated to completely multiplicative functions taking values in $\{\pm 1\}$ and give combinatorical proofs of two recent results in the direction of Chowla's conjecture. We also determine the…

In this note, the polar decomposition of binary fields of even extension degree is used to reduce the evaluation of the Walsh transform of binomial Boolean functions to that of Gauss sums. In the case of extensions of degree four times an…

For a finite undirected multigraph G=(V,E) and functions f,g:V-->\NN, let N_f^g(G,j) denote the number of (f,g)-factors of G with exactly j edges. The Heilmann-Lieb Theorem implies that \sum_j N_0^1(G,j) t^j is a polynomial with only real…

In a recent paper, Rose proves that certain generalized sum-of-divisor functions are quasi-modular forms for some congruence subgroup and conjectures that these forms are quasi-modular for $\Gamma_1(n)$. Here, we prove this conjecture.

In this short note we prove a conjecture for the interval $(0,1)$, related to a logarithmically completely monotonic function, presented in \cite{BG}. Then, we extend by proving a more generalized theorem. At the end we pose an open problem…

We take an $L_1$-dense class of functions $\Cal F$ on a measurable space $(X,\Cal X)$ together with a sequence of independent, identically distributed $X$-space valued random variables $\xi_1,\dots,\xi_n$ and give a good estimate on the…

Let f(n)=1 if n=1, 2^(2^(n-2)) if n \in {2,3,4,5}, (2+2^(2^(n-4)))^(2^(n-4)) if n \in {6,7,8,...}. We conjecture that if a system T \subseteq {x_i+1=x_k, x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}} has only finitely many solutions in positive…

Let $\ID$ denote the open unit disk and $f:\,\ID\TO\BAR\IC$ be meromorphic and univalent in $\ID$ with the simple pole at $p\in (0,1)$ and satisfying the standard normalization $f(0)=f'(0)-1=0$. Also, let $f$ have the expansion…

Brouwer conjectured that the sum of the first $k$ largest Laplacian eigenvalues of an $n$-vertex graph is less than or equal to the number of its edges plus $\binom{k+1}{2}$ for each $k\in \{1,2,\cdots,n\}$, which has come to be known as…

We introduce a simple sieve-theoretic approach to studying partial sums of multiplicative functions which are close to their mean value. This enables us to obtain various new results as well as strengthen existing results with new proofs.…

The Fourier-Walsh expansion of a Boolean function $f \colon \{0,1\}^n \rightarrow \{0,1\}$ is its unique representation as a multilinear polynomial. The Kindler-Safra theorem (2002) asserts that if in the expansion of $f$, the total weight…

Let $D\subset\subset\mathbb{C}^n$ be a complex manifold of dimension $p\geq 2$ with $\C^2$ boundary in $\mathbb{C}^n$. Let $f$ be a $\C^1$ function on $bD$ and $V$ a generic and large enough family of complex $(n-p+1)$-planes. Let suppose…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the set of the primes. We consider a class of random multiplicative functions $f$ supported on the squarefree integers, such that $\{f(p)\}_{p\in\mathcal{P}}$ form a sequence of $\pm1$ valued independent random…

We prove the "Most informative boolean function" conjecture of Courtade and Kumar for high noise $\epsilon \ge 1/2 - \delta$, for some absolute constant $\delta > 0$. Namely, if $X$ is uniformly distributed in $\{0,1\}^n$ and $Y$ is…

Divided symmetrization of a function $f(x_1,\dots,x_n)$ is symmetrization of the ratio $$DS_G(f)=\frac{f(x_1,\dots,x_n)}{\prod (x_i-x_j)},$$ where the product is taken over the set of edges of some graph $G$. We concentrate on the case when…

In this short, we study sums of the shape $\sum_{n\leqslant x}{f([x/n])}/{[x/n]},$ where $f$ is Euler totient function $\varphi$, Dedekind function $\Psi$, sum-of-divisors function $\sigma$ or the alternating sum-of-divisors function…
