We provide asymptotically sharp bounds for the $L_p$ norms of the Fourier multipliers with the symbols $e^{i\lambda \varphi(\xi/|\xi|)}$, where $\lambda\in \mathbb{R}$ is a large parameter.
Solving a quadratic equation $P(x)=ax^2+bx+c=0$ with real coefficients is known to middle school students. Solving the equation over the quaternions is not straightforward. Huang and So \cite{Huang} give a complete set of formulas, breaking…
We use recently obtained bounds for sums of Kloosterman sums to bound the sum $\sum_{-D\leq d\leq D} \int_{-D}^D |\zeta(1/2+it,\lambda^d)|^4| \sum_{0<|\mu|^2\leq M} A(\mu)\lambda^d((\mu)) |\mu|^{-2it}|^2 {\rm d}t$, where $\lambda^d$ is the…
A Fourier transform technique is introduced for counting the number of solutions of holomorphic moment map equations over a finite field. This in turn gives information on Betti numbers of holomorphic symplectic quotients. As a consequence…
We provide an asymptotic estimate for the number of rational points of bounded height on a non-singular conic over the rationals. The estimate is uniform in the coefficients of the underlying quadratic form.
This is a leisurely introductory account addressed to non-experts and based on previous work by the authors, on how methods borrowed from physics can be used to "count" an infinite number of points. We begin with the classical case of…
We prove a new upper bound for the $L^4$-norm of a holomorphic Hecke newform of large fixed weight and prime level $q\to \infty$. This is achieved by proving a sharp mean value estimate for a related $L$-function on GL(6)
The aim of this article is to study (additively) indecomposable algebraic integers $\mathcal O_K$ of biquadratic number fields $K$ and universal totally positive quadratic forms with coefficients in $\mathcal O_K$. There are given…
In this paper we present a new method of solving certain quartic and higher degree homogeneous polynomial diophantine equations in four variables. The method can also be extended to solve simultaneous homogeneous polynomial diophantine…
We study the combinatorial function $L(k,q),$ the maximum number of nonzero weights a linear code of dimension $k$ over $\F_q$ can have. We determine it completely for $q=2,$ and for $k=2,$ and provide upper and lower bounds in the general…
In this paper, we obtain formulas for the number of representations of positive integers as sums of arbitrarily many squares (and other polygonal numbers) with a certain natural weighting. The resulting weighted sums give Fourier…
We study the quadratic residue weight enumerators of the dual projective Reed-Solomon codes of dimensions $5$ and $q-4$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Our main results are formulas for the coefficients of the the quadratic residue…
We study the minimal number of variables required by a totally positive definite diagonal universal quadratic form over a real quadratic field $\mathbb Q(\sqrt D)$ and obtain lower and upper bounds for it in terms of certain sums of…
Suppose $E$ is an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ of conductor $N$ with complex multiplication (CM) by $\mathbb{Q}(i)$, and $f_E$ is the corresponding cuspidal Hecke eigenform in $S^{\mathrm{new}}_2(\Gamma_0(N))$. Then $n$-th Fourier…
A sharp upper bound for the maximum integer not belonging to an ideal of a numerical semigroup is given and the ideals attaining this bound are characterized. Then the result is used, through the so-called Feng-Rao numbers, to bound the…

For an even integer $k\geq 2$, let $f$ be a primitive holomorphic cusp form of weight $k$ for the full modular group $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ and let $\lambda_{{\rm{sym}}^jf}(n)$ denote the $n^\text{th}$ normalized Fourier coefficient of the…
