We formulate an Iwasawa main conjecture for a higher rank Euler system for a general motive. We prove "one half" of the main conjecture under mild hypotheses. We also formulate a conjecture on "Darmon-type derivatives" of Euler systems and…

In two recent works, Kuba and Mahmoud (arXiv:1503.090691 and arXiv:1509.09053) introduced the family of two-color affine balanced Polya urn schemes with multiple drawings. We show that, in large-index urns (urn index between $1/2$ and $1$)…

We prove a conjecture of Frenkel-Gaitsgory-Kazhdan-Vilonen on some exponential sums related to the geometric Langlands correspondence. Our main ingredients are the resolution of Lusztig scheme of lattices introduced by Laumon and the…

We use elementary arguments to prove results on the order of magnitude of certain sums concerning the gcd's and lcm's of $k$ positive integers, where $k\ge 2$ is fixed. We refine and generalize an asymptotic formula of Bordell\`{e}s (2007),…

We prove new upper bounds for a spectral exponential sum by refining the process by which one evaluates mean values of $L$-functions multiplied by an oscillating function. In particular, we introduce a method which is capable of taking into…

The purpose of this note is to give an affirmative answer to a conjecture appearing in [Integral Transforms Spec. Funct. 26 (2015) 90-95].

Ozeki and Prodinger showed that the odd power sum of the first several consecutive Fibonacci numbers of even order is equal to a polynomial evaluated at certain Fibonacci number of odd order. We prove that this polynomial and its derivative…

We derive a large deviation principle for the empirical measure of zeros of random polynomials with i.i.d. exponential coefficients.

We proved a truncated second main theorem of level one with explicit exceptional sets for analytic maps into $\mathbb P^2$ intersecting the coordinate lines with sufficiently high multiplicities. As applications, we studied some cases of…

In this paper, we accomplish a unified convergence analysis of a second-order method of multipliers (i.e., a second-order augmented Lagrangian method) for solving the conventional nonlinear conic optimization problems.Specifically, the…

Let $(G,+)$ be an abelian group and consider a subset $A \subseteq G$ with $|A|=k$. Given an ordering $(a_1, \ldots, a_k)$ of the elements of $A$, define its {\em partial sums} by $s_0 = 0$ and $s_j = \sum_{i=1}^j a_i$ for $1 \leq j \leq…

A superposition rule is a particular type of map that enables one to express the general solution of certain systems of first-order ordinary differential equations, the so-called Lie systems, out of generic families of particular solutions…

In this article, we investigate the conditional large values of quadratic Dirichlet character sums. We prove an Omega result for quadratic character sums under the assumption of the generalized Riemann hypothesis.

We introduce a variant of the large sieve and give an example of its use in a sieving problem. Take the interval [N] = {1,...,N} and, for each odd prime p <= N^{1/2}, remove or ``sieve out'' by all n whose reduction mod p lies in some…

We present a so-called universal convergence theorem for inexact primal-dual penalty and augmented Lagrangian methods that can be applied to a large number of such methods and reduces their convergence analysis to verification of some…

In recent years, Z.-W. Sun proposed several sophisticated conjectures on congruences for finite sums with terms involving combinatorial sequences such as central trinomial coefficients, Domb numbers and Franel numbers. These sums are double…

In 1918 Polya and Vinogradov gave an upper bound for the maximal size of character sums which still remains the best known general estimate. One of the main results of this paper provides a substantial improvement of the Polya-Vinogradov…

Pilz's conjecture states that for any finite set $A=\{a_1,a_2,\dots,a_k\}$ of positive integers and positive integer $n$ in the union of the sets $\{a_1,2a_1,\dots,na_1\},\dots, \{a_k,2a_k,\dots,na_k\}$ (considered as a multiset) at least…

The large deviation function obtained recently by Derrida and Lebowitz for the totally asymmetric exclusion process is generalized to the partially asymmetric case in the scaling limit. The asymmetry parameter rescales the scaling variable…

We show that the denominator formula for the strange series of affine superalgebras, conjectured by Kac and Wakimoto and proved by Zagier, follows from a classical determinant evaluation of Frobenius. As a limit case, we obtain exact…
