In the last 20 years the Gelfond conjectures concerning the well distribution of the sum-of-digits function along prime numbers and along squares have been solved and these results, which are strongly connected with the Sarnak conjecture,…

In this paper, we discuss the problem of minimizing the sum of two convex functions: a smooth function plus a non-smooth function. Further, the smooth part can be expressed by the average of a large number of smooth component functions, and…

We study pencils of hypersurfaces over finite fields $\mathbb{F}_q$ such that each of the $q+1$ members defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ is smooth.

We investigate border ranks of twisted powers of polynomials and smoothability of symmetric powers of algebras. We prove that the latter are smoothable. For the former, we obtain upper bounds for the border rank in general and prove that…

We develop a general method for lower bounding the variance of sequences in arithmetic progressions mod $q$, summed over all $q \leq Q$, building on previous work of Liu, Perelli, Hooley, and others. The proofs lower bound the variance by…

In this work, we consider the proportion of smooth (free of large prime factors) values of a binary form $F(X_1,X_2)\in\Z[X_1,X_2]$. In a particular case, we give an asymptotic equivalent for this proportion which depends on $F$. This is…

Let $\varphi:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a continuously differentiable function on an interval $J\subset\mathbb{R}$ and let $\boldsymbol{\alpha}=(\alpha_1,\alpha_2)$ be a point with algebraically conjugate coordinates such that the…

We define the notion of generalized logarithmic sheaves on a smooth projective surface, associated to a pair consisting of a reduced curve and some fixed points on it. We then set up the study of the Torelli property in this setting,…

Let $X_1, X_2,\dots$ be a short-memory linear process of random variables. For $1\leq q<2$, let $\cF$ be a bounded set of real-valued functions on $[0,1]$ with finite $q$-variation. It is proved that…

We show that an arithmetic function which satisfies some weak multiplicativity properties and in addition has a non-decreasing or $\log$-uniformly continuous normal order is close to a function of the form $n\mapsto n^c$. As an application…

Part-and-parcel of the study of "multiplicative number theory" is the study of the distribution of multiplicative functions in arithmetic progressions. Although appropriate analogies to the Bombieri-Vingradov Theorem have been proved for…

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…

The growing prevalence of nonsmooth optimization problems in machine learning has spurred significant interest in generalized smoothness assumptions. Among these, the (L0, L1)-smoothness assumption has emerged as one of the most prominent.…

An exponent of distribution 1/16 is established for square-free palindromes. The main input is an upper bound for the number of palindromes, in arithmetic progressions to large moduli, divisible by large squares. Our argument combines a…

We give upper bounds on the Walsh coefficients of functions for which the derivative of order at least one has bounded variation of fractional order. Further, we also consider the Walsh coefficients of functions in periodic and non-periodic…

In this paper we study the mean values of some multiplicative functions connected with the divisor function on the short interval of summation. The asymptocic values for such mean values are proved.

We study the variance of sums of the $k$-fold divisor function $d_k(n)$ over sparse arithmetic progressions, with averaging over both residue classes and moduli. In a restricted range, we confirm an averaged version of a recent conjecture…

Sums of the singular series constants that appear in the Hardy--Littlewood $k$-tuples conjectures have long been studied in connection to the distribution of primes. We study constrained sums of singular series, where the sum is taken over…

We prove two-sided inequalities between the integral moduli of smoothness of a function on $\mathbb{R}^d/\mathbb{T}^d$ and the weighted tail-type integrals of its Fourier transform/series. Sharpness of obtained results in particular is…

Let $\mathcal{P}_r$ denote an almost-prime with at most $r$ prime factors, counted according to multiplicity. Suppose that $a$ and $q$ are positive integers satisfying $(a,q)=1$. Denote by $\mathcal{P}_2(a,q)$ the least almost-prime…
