We address the prime geodesic theorem in arithmetic progressions, and resolve conjectures of Golovchanski\u{\i}-Smotrov (1999). In particular, we prove that the traces of closed geodesics on the modular surface do not equidistribute in the…
Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we derive explicit bounds for the error terms in short interval analogues of the prime number theorem and Mertens' theorems using a smoothing argument. Our results improve upon previous bounds in both…
We investigate the prime geodesic theorem with an error term dependent on the varying weight and its higher metaplectic coverings in the arithmetic setting, each admitting subconvex refinements despite the softness of our input. The former…
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…
The prime geodesic theorem for regular geodesics in a higher rank locally symmetric space is proved. An application to class numbers is given. The proof relies on a Lefschetz formula that is based on work of Andreas Juhl.
In this short note we establish new refinements of multidimensional Szemeredi and polynomial van der Waerden theorems along the shifted primes.
The remainder $E_\Gamma(X)$ in the Prime Geodesic Theorem for the Picard group $\Gamma = \mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z}[i])$ is known to be bounded by $O(X^{3/2+\epsilon})$ under the assumption of the Lindel\"of hypothesis for quadratic…
We establish results with an arithmetic flavor that generalize the polynomial multidimensional Szemeredi theorem and related multiple recurrence and convergence results in ergodic theory. For instance, we show that in all these statements…
For $\Gamma$ a cofinite Kleinian group acting on $\mathbb{H}^3$, we study the Prime Geodesic Theorem on $M=\Gamma \backslash \mathbb{H}^3$, which asks about the asymptotic behaviour of lengths of primitive closed geodesics (prime geodesics)…
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).
In this paper we establish explicit upper and lower bounds for the ratio of the arithmetic and geometric means of the prime numbers, which improve the current best estimates. Further, we prove several conjectures related to this ration…
We study convergence of ergodic averages along squares with polynomial weights. For a given polynomial $P\in \mathbb{Z}[\cdot]$, consider the set of all $\theta\in[0,1)$ such that for every aperiodic system $(X,\mu, T)$ there is a function…
Through the Selberg zeta approach, we reduce the exponent in the error term of the prime geodesic theorem for cocompact Kleinian groups or Bianchi groups from Sarnak's $\frac{5}{3}$ to $\frac{3}{2}$. At the cost of excluding a set of finite…
In this paper, we establish a theorem on the distribution of primes in quadratic progressions on average.
Let $p_n$ be the $n$th prime, and consider the sequence $s_n = (2\cdot3\cdots p_n)^{1/n} = (p_n\#)^{1/n}$, the geometric mean of the first $n$ primes. We give a short proof that $p_n/s_n \to e$, a result conjectured by Vrba (2010) and…
We prove several results related to the theorem of Logvinenko and Sereda on determining sets for functions with Fourier transforms supported in an interval. We obtain a polynomial instead of exponential bound in this theorem, and we extend…
In this paper, we prove a theorem on the distribution of primes in cubic progressions on average.
The set of short intervals between consecutive primes squared has the pleasant---but seemingly unexploited---property that each interval $s_k:=\{p_k^2, \dots,p_{k+1}^2-1\}$ is fully sieved by the $k$ first primes. Here we take advantage of…
In this note we present new asymptotic estimates comparing the word length and geodesic length of closed geodesics on surfaces with (variable) negative sectional curvatures. In particular, we provide an averaged comparison of these two…
This brief pedagogical note re-proves a simple theorem on the convergence, in $L_2$ and in probability, of time averages of non-stationary time series to the mean of expectation values. The basic condition is that the sum of covariances…
