In this paper, we prove new upper bounds for sums of reciprocals of fractional parts over general aligned boxes, thus extending a previous result of the author concerning bounds for sums of reciprocals over symmetric boxes. These new upper…

We find an upper bound for the sum $\sum_{x<n\leq 2x}\textbf{1}_{\mathbb{P}}(n+h_{i_{1}})\cdots\textbf{1}_{\mathbb{P}}(n+h_{i_{m+1}})w_{n}$, where $(h_{i_{1}},...,h_{i_{m+1}})$ is any $(m+1)$-tuple of elements in the admissible set…

We discuss the problem of constructing a small subset of a finite field containing primitive elements of the field. Given a finite field, $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$, small $q$ and large $n$, we show that the set of all low degree polynomials…

We prove that if $f(n)$ is a Steinhaus or Rademacher random multiplicative function, there almost surely exist arbitrarily large values of $x$ for which $|\sum_{n \leq x} f(n)| \geq \sqrt{x} (\log\log x)^{1/4+o(1)}$. This is the first such…

Let $P_1,\dots,P_m\in\mathbb{Z}[y]$ be any linearly independent polynomials with zero constant term. We show that there exists a $\gamma>0$ such that any subset of $\mathbb{F}_q$ of size at least $q^{1-\gamma}$ contains a nontrivial…

Let $K/F$ be a finite extension of number fields of degree $n \geq 2$. We establish effective field-uniform unconditional upper bounds for the least norm of a prime ideal of $F$ which is degree 1 over $\mathbb{Q}$ and does not ramify or…

We say that a set $S$ is additively decomposed into two sets $A$ and $B$ if $S = \{a+b : a\in A, \ b \in B\}$. A. S\'ark\"ozy has recently conjectured that the set $Q$ of quadratic residues modulo a prime $p$ does not have nontrivial…

We improve the known upper bound for short exponential sums and increase the range on which a sharp upper bound is known.

In this article, we offer group-theoretic, field-theoretic, and topological interpretations of the Gaussian binomial coefficients and their sum. For a finite $p$-group $G$ of rank $n$, we show that the Gaussian binomial coefficient…

In the first paper of this series we established new upper bounds for multi-variable exponential sums associated with a quadratic form. The present study shows that if one adds a linear term in the exponent, the estimates can be further…

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…

We prove that when $f$ is a Rademacher random multiplicative function for any $\epsilon>0$, then $\sum_{n \leqslant x}\frac{f(n)}{\sqrt{n}} \ll (\log\log(x))^{3/4+\epsilon}$ for almost all $f$. We also show that there exist arbitrarily…

Let $\Gamma$ be a cocompact, oriented Fuchsian group which is not on an explicit finite list of possible exceptions and $q$ a sufficiently large prime power not divisible by the order of any non-trivial torsion element of $\Gamma$. Then…

Given a polynomial with integral coefficients, one can inquire about the possible residues it can take in its image modulo a prime $p$. The sum over the distinct residues can sometimes be computed independent of the prime $p$; for example,…

We introduce a general class $F_0$ of additive functions $f$ such that $f(p) = 1$ and prove a tight bound for exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n \le x} f(n) e(\alpha n)$ where $f \in F_0$ and $e(\theta) = \exp(2\pi i \theta)$. Both…

In this paper we prove new bounds for sums of convex or concave functions. Specifically, we prove that for all $A,B \subseteq \mathbb R$ finite sets, and for all $f,g$ convex or concave functions, we have $$|A + B|^{38}|f(A) + g(B)|^{38}…

We prove certain relations between Satake parameters of cuspidal representations of $\GL_2(\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}})$ at finite and archimedean places. Consequently, we show that the Ramanujan-Petersson conjecture at a fixed prime $p\nmid N$…

In this paper, we study the sum of additive characters over finite fields, with a focus on those of specified \(\mathbb{F}_q\)-Order. We establish a general formula for these character sums, providing an additive analogue to classical…

Given a prime power $q$ and a positive integer $n$, let $\mathbb{F}_{q^{n}}$ represents a finite extension of degree $n$ of the finite field ${\mathbb{F}_{q}}$. In this article, we investigate the existence of $m$ elements in arithmetic…
