For $j=1,2$, let $f_j(z) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_{j}(n) e^{2\pi i nz}$ be a holomorphic, non-CM cuspidal newform of even weight $k_j \ge 2$ with trivial nebentypus. For each prime $p$, let $\theta_{j}(p)\in[0,\pi]$ be the angle such that…
We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of primes of the shape $a^2 +p^4$, thereby refining the well known work of Friedlander and Iwaniec. Along the way, we prove a result on equidistribution of primes up to $x$, in which the moduli…
Let $h$ be a fixed non-zero integer. For every $t\in \mathbb{R}_+$ and every prime $p$, consider the angles between rays from an observer located at the point $(-tJ_p^2,0)$ on the real axis towards the set of all integral solutions $(x,y)$…
The set of short intervals between consecutive primes squared has the pleasant---but seemingly unexploited---property that each interval $s_k:=\{p_k^2, \dots,p_{k+1}^2-1\}$ is fully sieved by the $k$ first primes. Here we take advantage of…
We consider a square expanding with constant speed seen from an observer moving away with constant acceleration and study the distribution of angles between rays from the observer towards the lattice points in the square. We prove the…
In this short note, we study the distribution of spreads in a point set $\mathcal{P} \subseteq \mathbb{F}_q^d$, which are analogous to angles in Euclidean space. More precisely, we prove that, for any $\varepsilon > 0$, if $|\mathcal{P}|…
We prove a uniform estimate for sums of Hecke--Maass eigenvalues squared over primes in short intervals that can be regarded as an analogue of Hoheisel's classical prime number theorem for all real analytic cusp forms. Our argument is…
Let E be an elliptic curve over Q. In 1988, Koblitz conjectured a precise asymptotic for the number of primes p up to x such that the order of the group of points of E over the finite field F_p is prime. This is an analogue of the Hardy and…
Let $p \geq 5$ be a prime and for $a, b \in \mathbb{F}_{p}$, let $E_{a,b}$ denote the elliptic curve over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ with equation $y^2=x^3+a\,x + b$. As usual define the trace of Frobenius $a_{p,\,a,\,b}$ by \begin{equation*}…
What is the probability that a random triangle is acute? We explore this old question from a modern viewpoint, taking into account linear algebra, shape theory, numerical analysis, random matrix theory, the Hopf fibration, and much much…
We derive simple linear, inhomogeneous recurrences for the variance of the index by utilising the fact that the generating function for the distribution of the number of positive eigenvalues of a Gaussian unitary ensemble is a…
We study the hexagonal lattice $\mathbb{Z}[\omega]$, where $\omega^6=1$. More specifically, we study the angular distribution of hexagonal lattice points on circles with a fixed radius. We prove that the angles are equidistributed on…
This paper studies the asymptotic behaviors of the pairwise angles among n randomly and uniformly distributed unit vectors in R^p as the number of points n -> infinity, while the dimension p is either fixed or growing with n. For both…
We prove some results concerning the distribution of primes on the Riemann hypothesis. First, we prove the explicit result that there exists a prime in the interval $(x-\frac{4}{\pi} \sqrt{x} \log x,x]$ for all $x \geq 2$; this improves a…
n this paper, we state several conjectures regarding distribution of primes and of pairs of primes represented by irreducible homogeneous polynomial in two variables $f(a,b)$. We formulate conjectures with respect to the slope $t=b/a$ for…
We show that for each positive integer $a$ there exist only finitely many prime numbers $p$ such that $a$ appears an odd number of times in the period of continued fraction of $\sqrt{p}$ or $\sqrt{2p}$. We also prove that if $p$ is a prime…
Given a circle of radius $r$ centered at the origin, the Gauss Circle Problem concerns counting the number of lattice points $C(r)$ within this circle. It is known that as $r$ grows large, the number of lattice points approaches $\pi r^2$,…
We generalize the notion of Elkies primes for elliptic curves to the setting of abelian varieties with real multiplication (RM), and prove the following. Let $A$ be an abelian variety with RM over a number field whose attached Galois…
Perhaps the very first elementary exercise one encounters in graph theory is the result that any graph on at least two vertices must have at least two vertices with the same degree. There are various ways in which this result can be…
Let $\mathcal{P}=\{p_1,p_2,...\}$ be the set of all odd primes arranged in increasing order. A Goldbach partition of the even integer $2k>4$ is a way of writing it as a sum of two primes from $\mathcal{P}$ without regard to order. Let…
