Let $\psi: \mathbb{N} \to [0,1/2]$ be given. The Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture, recently resolved by Koukoulopoulos and Maynard, asserts that for almost all reals $\alpha$ there are infinitely many coprime solutions $(p,q)$ to the inequality…

We examine exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n \le X} w(n) e^{2\pi i\alpha n^k}$, for $k=1,2$, where $\alpha$ satisfies a generalized Diophantine approximation and where $w$ are different arithmetic functions that might be multiplicative,…

We prove two results on arithmetic quantum chaos for dihedral Maass forms, both of which are manifestations of Berry's random wave conjecture: Planck scale mass equidistribution and an asymptotic formula for the fourth moment. For level $1$…

We study the average of the product of the central values of two $L$-functions of modular forms $f$ and $g$ twisted by Dirichlet characters to a large prime modulus $q$. As our principal tools, we use spectral theory to develop bounds on…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $f(x)=\sum_{i=1}^ka_ix^{p^{\alpha_i}+1}\in\Bbb F_{p^n}[x]$, where $0\le \alpha_1<...<\alpha_k$. We consider the exponential sum $S(f,n)=\sum_{x\in\Bbb F_{p^n}}e_n(f(x))$, where $e_n(y)=e^{2\pi…

We obtain asymptotic formulas for the sums $\sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_k\le x} f((n_1,\ldots,n_k))$ and $ \sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_k\le x} f([n_1,\ldots,n_k])$ involving the gcd and lcm of the integers $n_1,\ldots,n_k$, where $f$ belongs to certain…

New congruences are found for Andrews' smallest parts partition function spt(n). The generating function for spt(n) is related to the holomorphic part alpha(24z) of a certain weak Maass form M(z) of weight 3/2. We show that a normalized…

Let $A_f(1,n)$ be the normalized Fourier coefficients of a $GL(3)$ Maass cusp form $f$ and let $a_g(n)$ be the normalized Fourier coefficients of a $GL(2)$ cusp form $g$. Let $\lambda(n)$ be either $A_f(1,n)$ or the triple divisor function…

We prove a bound for quintilinear sums of Kloosterman sums, with congruence conditions on the "smooth" summation variables. This generalizes classical work of Deshouillers and Iwaniec, and is key to obtaining power-saving error terms in…

Let $f(z)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a(n)q^n\in S^{\text{new}}_ k (\Gamma_0(N))$ be a newform with squarefree level $N$ that does not have complex multiplication. For a prime $p$, define $\theta_p\in[0,\pi]$ to be the angle for which $a(p)=2p^{( k…

Let $\mathfrak{B}$ denote the collection of odd primitive Gaussian integers and $n\mapsto b(n)$ denote the characteristic function of elements of $\mathfrak{B}$. We prove that the exponential sum $ S(\alpha; N)=\sum_{n\le…

James Maynard has taken the analytic number theory world by storm in the last decade, proving several important and surprising theorems, resolving questions that had seemed far out of reach. He is perhaps best known for his work on small…

We prove quasi-invariance of Gaussian measures $\mu_s$ with Cameron-Martin space $H^s$ under the flow of the defocusing nonlinear wave equation with polynomial nonlinearities of any order for all $s>5/2$, including fractional $s$. This…

We find an involution as a combinatorial proof of a Ramanujan's partial theta identity. Based on this involution, we obtain a Franklin type involution for squares in the sense that the classical Franklin involution provides a combinatorial…

Suppose that $n$ is $0$ or $4$ modulo $6$. We show that there are infinitely many primes of the form $p^2 + nq^2$ with both $p$ and $q$ prime, and obtain an asymptotic for their number. In particular, when $n = 4$ we verify the `Gaussian…

In this paper, over imaginary quadratic fields, we consider the family of $L$-functions $L (s, f)$ for an orthonormal basis of spherical Hecke--Maass forms $f$ with Archimedean parameter $t_f$. We establish asymptotic formulae for the…

Recently Gordon and McIntosh introduced the third order mock theta function $\xi(q)$ defined by $$ \xi(q)=1+2\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{q^{6n^2-6n+1}}{(q;q^6)_{n}(q^5;q^6)_{n}}. $$ Our goal in this paper is to study arithmetic properties of…

Mock modular forms, which give the theoretical framework for Ramanujan's enigmatic mock theta functions, play many roles in mathematics. We study their role in the context of modular parameterizations of elliptic curves $E/\mathbb{Q}$. We…

This note complements and clarifies the results obtained in the original paper {\it QCD Parameters Correlations from Heavy Quarkonia} [1] where, here, we present a more detailed discussion of the \alpha_s-results obtained @ N2LO at two…

While Roth's theorem states that the irrationality measure of all the irrational algebraic numbers is 2, and the same holds true over function fields in characteristic zero, some counter-examples were found over function fields in positive…
