We investigate Fourier multipliers with smooth symbols defined over locally compact Hausdorff groups. Our main results in this paper establish new H\"ormander-Mikhlin criteria for spectral and non-spectral multipliers. The key novelties…

We present a new, far simpler family of counter-examples to Kushnirenko's Conjecture. Along the way, we illustrate a computer-assisted approach to finding sparse polynomial systems with maximally many real roots, thus shedding light on the…

Let $F$ be a finite field of odd characteristic. We prove that any set $A\subset F$ with $|A|\geq C|F|^{5/6}$ contains a nontrivial quadratic progression $(x, x+y, x+y^2), y\neq 0.$ For prime fields, this improves the previous best-known…

Using a one-way Monte Carlo algorithm from several different starting points, we get an approximation to the distribution of toric threefold bases that can be used in four-dimensional F-theory compactification. We separate the threefold…

We investigate 2-variable expanders and 3-source extractors in prime fields. We extend previous results of J. Bourgain.

For infinitely many primes $p=4k+1$ we give a slightly improved upper bound for the maximal cardinality of a set $B\subset \ZZ_p$ such that the difference set $B-B$ contains only quadratic residues. Namely, instead of the "trivial" bound…

The aim of this paper is to study the multipliers from $A_{r}(I)$ to $A_{p}(I), r \ne p$, where $I=(0,\infty)$ is the locally compact topological semigroup with multiplication max and usual topology and $A_{r}(I) = \{f \in L_{1}(I)\hbox{:}…

This thesis establishes new quantitative records in several problems of incidence geometry and growth. After the necessary background in Chapters 1, 2 and 3, the following results are proven. Chapter 4 gives new results in the incidence…

The purpose of this paper is twofold: 1) Applications of Gallagher's larger sieve modulo prime squares do not work. In some relevant cases we can transform the residue class information modulo $p^2$ to more suitable residue information…

Let p denote an odd prime. For all p-admissible conductors c over a quadratic number field \(K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})\), p-ring spaces \(V_p(c)\) modulo c are introduced by defining a morphism \(\psi:\,f\mapsto V_p(f)\) from the divisor…

We provide upper bounds for the size of subsets of finite fields lacking the polynomial progression $$ x, x+y, ..., x+(m-1)y, x+y^m, ..., x+y^{m+k-1}.$$ These are the first known upper bounds in the polynomial Szemer\'{e}di theorem for the…

Let $h_g^\infty$ be the space of harmonic functions in the unit ball that are bounded by some increasing radial function $g(r)$ with $\lim_{r\rightarrow 1} g(r)=+\infty$; these spaces are called growth spaces. We describe functions in…

We prove that the number of quartic $S_4$--extensions of the rationals of given discriminant $d$ is $O_\eps(d^{1/2+\eps})$ for all $\eps>0$. For a prime number $p$ we derive that the dimension of the space of octahedral modular forms of…

Let $n\ge1$, $r\ge0$ and $s\ge0$ be integers satisfying $4+r+3 s\le3^{n+1}$. Given linear polynomials $f_{i}(x)=m_{i} x+n_{i}$ for $1 \le i \le r+s$, where the coefficients $m_{i} , n_{i}$ are positive integers satisfying certain…

We report on a search for mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in 6 dimensions. We find only triplets of MUBs, and thus do not come close to the theoretical upper bound 7. However, we point out that the natural habitat for sets of MUBs is the set…

Let $f\in \mathbb{R}[x, y, z]$ be a quadratic polynomial that depends on each variable and that does not have the form $g(h(x)+k(y)+l(z))$. Let $A, B, C$ be compact sets in $\mathbb{R}$. Suppose that $\dim_H(A)+\dim_H(B)+\dim_H(C)>2$, then…

Let $\F_q$ be a finite field of order $q$ and $P$ be a polynomial in $\F_q[x_1, x_2]$. For a set $A \subset \F_q$, define $P(A):=\{P(x_1, x_2) | x_i \in A \}$. Using certain constructions of expanders, we characterize all polynomials $P$…

We develop several notions of multiplicity for linear factors of multivariable polynomials over different arithmetics (hyperfields). The key example is multiplicities over the hyperfield of signs, which encapsulates the arithmetic of…

The real roots of the cubic and quartic polynomials are studied geometrically with the help of their respective Siebeck--Marden--Northshield equilateral triangle and regular tetrahedron. The Vi\`ete trigonometric formulae for the roots of…

In this paper we study the structure of polynomials of degree three and four that have high bias or high Gowers norm, over arbitrary prime fields. In particular we obtain the following results. 1. We give a canonical representation for…
