We show that certain weighted average of the alpha-determinant of a $kn$ by $kn$ matrix of the form $A\otimes1_{1,k}$, the Kronecker product of a $kn$ by $n$ matrix $A$ and $1$ by $k$ all one matrix $1_{1,k}$, over permutations of $kn$…

For a compact subset $K$ of the complex plane $\mathbb C,$ let $C(K)$ denote the algebra of continuous functions on $K$. For an open subset $U \subset K,$ let $A(K,U) \subset C(K)$ be the algebra of functions that are analytic in $U.$ We…

Suppose that $\{a_j\}\in \ell^1$, and suppose that for any sequence $(t_n)$ of integers there exits a constant $C_1>0$ such that $$\sharp\left\{k\in\mathbb{Z}:\sup_{n\geq 1}\left|\sum_{i\in \mathcal{B}_n-t_n}…

Let $A$ be a compact set in $\mathbb{R}$, and $E=A^d\subset \mathbb{R}^d$. We know from the Mattila-Sj\"olin's theorem if $\dim_H(A)>\frac{d+1}{2d}$, then the distance set $\Delta(E)$ has non-empty interior. In this paper, we show that the…

Let $A=\{a_{1},\ldots,a_{k}\}$ be a nonempty finite subset of an additive abelian group $G$. For a positive integer $h$, the $h$-fold signed sumset of $A$, denoted by $h_{\pm}A$, is defined as $$h_{\pm}A=\left\lbrace \sum_{i=1}^{k}…

Let $P$ be a probability on a finite group $G$, ${P^{(n)}}$ $n$-fold convolution of $P$ on $G$. Under mild condition, ${P^{(n)}}$ at $n \to \infty $ converges to the uniform probability on the group $G$. If $A = \left\{ {g \in G,\;P\left( g…

The main question of this paper is the following: how much cancellation can the partial sums restricted to the $k$-free integers up to $x$ of a $\pm 1$ multiplicative function $f$ be in terms of $x$? Building upon the recent paper by Q.…

In this paper we study some generalized versions of a recent result due to Covert, Koh, and Pi (2015). More precisely, we prove that if a subset $\mathcal{E}$ in a regular variety satisfies $|\mathcal{E}|\gg…

We estimate from below the lower density of the set of prime numbers p such that p-1 has a prime factor of size at least p^c, where c lies in between 1/4 and 1/2. We also establish upper and lower bounds on the counting function of the set…

Several infinite products are studied that satisfy the transformation relation of the type $f(\alpha)=f(1/\alpha)$. For certain values of the parameters these infinite products reduce to modular forms. Finite counterparts of these infinite…

Let $k$ and $n$ be fixed positive integers. For each prime power $q\geqslant k\geqslant 3$, we show that any subset $A\subseteq \mathbb{Z}_q^n$ free of $k$-term arithmetic progressions has size $|A|\leqslant c_k(q)^n$ with a constant…

We prove some improvements of the classical Weil bound for one variable additive and multiplicative character sums associated to a polynomial over a finite field $k=\Fq$ for two classes of polynomials which are invariant under a large…

We prove that for each multiplicative subgroup $A$ of finite index in $\mathbb{Q}^+$, the set of integers $a$ with $a, a+1 \in A$ is an IP-set. This generalizes a theorem of Hildebrand concerning completely multiplicative functions taking…

We extend the preorder on k-tuples of dominant weights of a simple complex Lie algebra g of classical type adding up to a fixed weight $\lambda$ defined by V. Chari, D. Sagaki and the author. We show that the induced extended partial order…

Motivated by arithmetic applications on the number of points in a bihomogeneous variety and on moments of Dirichlet $L$-functions, we provide analytic continuation for the series $\mathcal…

We show two results. First, a refinement of Freiman's theorem: if A is a finite set of integers and |A+A| < K|A|, then A is contained in a multidimensional progression of dimension at most O(K^{7/4} log^3K) and size at most exp(O(K^{7/4}…

For any elements b,c of a number field K, let G(b,c) denote the backwards orbit of b under the map f_c: C-->C given by f_c(x)=x^2+c. We prove an upper bound on the number of elements of G(b,c) whose degree over K is at most some constant B.…

The k-fold Cartesian product of a graph G is defined as a graph on k-tuples of vertices, where two tuples are connected if they form an edge in one of the positions and are equal in the rest. Starting with G as a single edge gives G^k as a…

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…

We show that whenever $s>k(k+1)$, then for any complex sequence $(\mathfrak a_n)_{n\in \mathbb Z}$, one has $$\int_{[0,1)^k}\left| \sum_{|n|\le N}\mathfrak a_ne(\alpha_1n+\ldots +\alpha_kn^k) \right|^{2s}\,{\rm d}{\mathbf \alpha}\ll…
