We produce a new proof of the reciprocity law for the twisted second moment of Dirichlet L-functions that was recently proved by Conrey. Our method is to analyze certain two-variable sums where the variables satisfy a linear congruence. We…
We investigate the Lyubeznik numbers, and the injective dimension of local cohomology modules, of finitely generated $\mathbb{Z}$-algebras. We prove that the mixed characteristic Lyubeznik numbers and the standard ones agree locally for…
We show that for any mod $2^m$ characters, $\chi_1, \chi_2,$ the complete exponential sum, $$ \sum_{x=1}^{2^m}\chi_1(x) \chi_2(Ax^k+B), $$ has a simple explicit evaluation.
In this paper we shall use the boundary Schwarz lemma of Osserman to obtain some generalizations and refinements of some well known results concerning the maximum modulus of the polynomials with restricted zeros due to Turan, Dubinin and…
We show that the $L^1$ norm of an exponential sum of length $X$ and with coefficients equal to the Liouville or M\"{o}bius function is at least $\gg_{\varepsilon} X^{1/4 - \varepsilon}$ for any given $\varepsilon$. For the Liouville…
We obtain explicit estimates for the mixed character sum $S= S(\chi,g,f,p^m) = \sum_{x=1}^{p^m} \chi (g(x)) e_{p^m}(f(x))$, where $p^m$ is a prime power, $\chi$ is a multiplicative character mod $p^m$ and $f,g$ are rational functions over…
We give a unified description of the modular and quasi-modular functions used in Viazovska's proof of the best packing bounds in dimension 8 and the proof by Cohn, Kumar, Miller, Radchenko, and Viazovska of the best packing bound in…
We obtain new bounds of exponential sums modulo a prime $p$ with binomials $ax^k + bx^n$. In particular, for $k=1$, we improve the bound of Karatsuba (1967) from $O(n^{1/4} p^{3/4})$ to $O\left(p^{3/4} + n^{1/3}p^{2/3}\right)$ for any $n$,…
For $N$ compatible substitution rules on $M$ prototiles $t_1,\dots,t_M$, consider tilings and tiling spaces constructed by applying the different substitution rules at random. These give (globally) random substitution tilings. In this paper…
In this paper, we establish an asymptotic formula for the twisted second moments of Dirichlet $L$-functions with one and two twists when averaged over all primitive Dirichlet characters of modulus $R$, where $R$ is a monic polynomial in…
We prove an extension of the Bourgain-Sarnak-Ziegler theorem and then apply it to bound certain polynomial exponential sums with modular coefficients.
We review how some multianalytic inner functions of the Beurling type theorem are associated to row contractions following works of G.Popescu. Motivated by a result on weak Markov dilations, we define a notion of characteristic function for…
Take a set of balls in $\mathbb R^d$. We find a subset of pairwise disjoint balls whose combined perimeter controls the perimeter of the union of the original balls. This can be seen as a boundary version of the Vitali covering lemma. We…
The connection between multiple modular L-functions, as defined by Manin in [5], and modular iterated integrals was made explicit by Choie and Ihara [3] under the restrictive assumption that all modular forms involved have vanishing…
We obtain a new bound on certain double sums of multiplicative characters improving the range of several previous results. This improvement comes from new bounds on the number of collinear triples in finite fields, which is a classical…
Distorted sums of models were introduced and discussed in [Sh:463]. This notion generalizes the notion of disjoint (or direct) sums of models by letting the summands overlap. In the first section we investigate types in distorted sums and…
Recently, the properties of a binomial sum related to the multi-link inverted pendulum enumeration problem have been studied. In this note, we establish bounds for this binomial sum.
We prove a Burgess-like subconvex bound for twisted L-functions of a fixed irreducible cuspidal automorphic representation of GL(2) over a totally real number field. The proof is based on a spectral decomposition of shifted convolution sums…
We obtain new bounds of exponential sums modulo a prime $p$ with sparse polynomials $a_0x^{n_0} + \cdots + a_{\nu}x^{n_\nu}$. The bounds depend on various greatest common divisors of exponents $n_0, \ldots, n_\nu$ and their differences. In…
We twist Zagier's function $f_{k,D}$ by a sign function and a genus character. Assuming weight $0 < k \equiv 2 \pmod{4}$, and letting $D$ be a positive non-square discriminant, we prove that the obstruction to modularity caused by the sign…
