For any real $k\geq 2$ and large prime $q$, we prove a lower bound on the $2k$-th moment of the Dirichlet character sum \begin{equation*} \frac{1}{\phi(q)} \sum_{\substack{\chi \text{ mod }q\\ \chi\neq \chi_0}} \Big| \sum_{n\leq x}…

We prove an arithmetic analogue of Fujita's approximation theorem in Arakelov geometry, conjectured by Moriwaki, by using slope method and measures associated to $\mathbb R$-filtrations.

It is the purpose of this thesis to enunciate and prove a collection of explicit results in the theory of prime numbers. First, the problem of primes in short intervals is considered. We prove that there is a prime between consecutive cubes…

We use the Petrow-Young [10] subconvexity bound for Dirichlet $L$-functions to show that $d_4(n)$ has exponent of distribution $4/7$ when we allow an average over $a$ mod $q$, thereby giving an equidistribution result for $d_4(n)$ which…

The world of primes has many gaps between evidence and theorems. Here, we review Legendre's conjecture on primes between consecutive squares and recent progress on the weaker question of primes between consecutive larger powers. Assuming…

We verify the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture on primes in quadratic progressions on average. The results in the present paper significantly improve those of a previous paper of the authors(arXiv:math.NT/0605563).

Let X be a smooth complex projective variety of dimension n. We prove bounds on Fujita's basepoint freeness conjecture that grow as nloglog(n).

Franel and Landau derived an arithmetic statement involving the Farey sequence that is equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis. Since there is a relationship between the Mertens function and the Riemann hypothesis, there should be a…

We consider some properties of integrals considered by Hardy and Koshliakov, and which have also been further extended recently by Dixit. We establish a new general integral formula from some observations about the digamma function. We also…

We extend the necessity part of Lucas Lehmer iteration for testing Mersenne prime to all base and uniformly for both generalized Mersenne and Wagstaff numbers(the later correspond to negative base). The role of the quadratic iteration $x…

We establish that three well-known and rather different looking conjectures about Dirichlet characters and their (weighted) sums, (concerning the P\'{o}lya-Vinogradov theorem for maximal character sums, the maximal admissible range in…

We study the $q$-analogue of the average of Montgomery's function $F(\alpha, T)$ over bounded intervals. Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis for Dirichlet $L$-functions, we obtain upper and lower bounds for this average over an…

"Goldbach's Conjecture" proven by analysis of how all combinations of the odd primes, summed in pairs, generates all of the even numbers.

We derive a lower bound for a second moment of the reciprocal of the derivative of the Riemann zeta-function averaged over the zeros of the zeta-function that is half the size of the conjectured value. Our result is conditional upon the…

The Riemann Hypothesis is a conjecture that all non-trivial zeros of Riemann Zeta function are located on the critical line in the complex plane. Hundreds of propositions in function theory and analytic number theory rely on this…

We propose a generalization of the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture concerning the distribution of prime pairs in arithmetic progressions. This conjecture, which we call the Generalized Elliott-Halberstam Conjecture for Shifted Convolutions…

We show that almost all primes $p\not\equiv \pm 4 \bmod{9}$ are sums of three cubes, assuming a conjecture due to Hooley, Manin, et al. on cubic fourfolds. This conjecture is approachable under standard statistical hypotheses on geometric…

By using Andrews's explicit formulae of the $q$-Fibonacci sequence introduced by Schur, we prove certain congruences of the $q$-Fibonacci sequence which relate the sequence with the original Fibonacci sequence. As a corollary, we show that…

We show, for any $q\ge 3$ and distinct reduced residues $a,b \pmod q$, the existence of certain hypothetical sets of zeros of Dirichlet $L$-functions lying off the critical line implies that $\pi(x;q,a)<\pi(x;q,b)$ for a set of real $x$ of…

We establish upper bounds for moments of smoothed quadratic Dirichlet character sums under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, confirming a conjecture of M. Jutila.
