In this work we establish a Burgess bound for short multiplicative character sums in arbitrary dimensions, in which the character is evaluated at a homogeneous form that belongs to a very general class of "admissible" forms. This…

In [3] Bege introduced the generalized Apostol's Mobius functions. In this paper we are presenting new properties of this functions. By introducing the special set of k-free numbers we have obtained some asymptotic formulas for the partial…

We establish the prime geodesic theorem for the modular surface with exponent $\frac{2}{3}+\varepsilon$, improving upon the long-standing exponent $\frac{25}{36}+\varepsilon$ of Soundararajan-Young (2013). This was previously known…

We estimate weighted character sums with determinants $ad-bc $ of $2\times 2$ matrices modulo a prime $p$ with entries $a,b,c,d $ varying over the interval $ [1,N]$. Our goal is to obtain nontrivial bounds for values of $N$ as small as…

We obtain explicit bounds on the moments of character sums, refining estimates of Montgomery and Vaughan. As an application we obtain results on the distribution of the maximal magnitude of character sums normalized by the square root of…

We obtain nontrivial bounds for character sums with multiplicative and additive characters over finite fields over elements with restricted coordinate expansion. In particular, we obtain a nontrivial estimate for such a sum over a finite…

In \cite{MR2221114}, B.~C.~Berndt and A.~Zaharescu introduced the twisted divisor sums associated with the Dirichlet character while studying the Ramanujan's type identity involving finite trigonometric sums and doubly infinite series of…

We use the $q$-analogue of van der Corput's method to estimate short character sums to smooth moduli. If $\chi$ is a primitive Dirichlet character modulo a squarefree, $q^\delta$-smooth integer $q$ we show that $$L(\frac12,\chi)\ll_\epsilon…

Extensive studies of Boolean functions are carried in many fields. The Mobius transform is often involved for these studies. In particular, it plays a central role in coincident functions, the class of Boolean functions invariant by this…

We prove non-trivial bounds for general bilinear forms in hyper-Kloosterman sums when the sizes of both variables may be below the P\'olya-Vinogradov range. We then derive applications to the second moment of holomorphic cusp forms twisted…

Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we evaluate sharp upper bounds for the shifted moments of quadratic Dirichlet L-functions with moduli 8p, where p ranges over odd primes. We then apply this result to prove bounds for the moments…

We establish nontrivial bounds for bilinear sums involving the M\"obius function evaluated over solutions to a broad class of equations. Several of our results may be regarded as M\"obius-function analogues of the ternary Goldbach problem.…

This paper concerns the estimation of sums of functions of observable and unobservable variables. Lower bounds for the asymptotic variance and a convolution theorem are derived in general finite- and infinite-dimensional models. An explicit…

For $f$ a primitive holomorphic cusp form of even weight $k \geq 4$, level $N$, and $\chi$ a Dirichlet character mod $Q$ with $(Q,N)=1$, we establish a new hybrid subconvexity bound for $L(1/2 + it, f_\chi)$, which improves upon all known…

We obtain a new bound on exponential sums over integers without large prime divisors, improving that of Fouvry and Tenenbaum (1991). For a fixed integer $\nu\ne 0$, we also obtain new bounds on exponential sums with $\nu$-th powers of such…

In this paper we study the product of two central values of $L$-functions of a twisted modular. We show that it suffices to compute a local polynomial at a finite number of points to decide whether the product is zero. For the proof, we…

Using the circle method, we obtain subconvex bounds for GL(3) L-functions twisted by a character modulo a prime p, hybrid in the t and p-aspects.

We improve a recent result by Shparlinski and Banks related to sums with convolution of Dirichlet characters.

We develop a new theory of $L$-series based on replacing Dirichlet characters mod $N$ by symmetric functions mod $N$ in order to calculate explicitly the sums of infinite series more closely related to $\zeta(2n+1)$, specifically…
