The purpose of this article is to further explore how the structure of the affine group can be used to deduce new incidence theorems, and to explore sum-product type applications of these incidence bounds, building on the recent work of…
We provide several new $q$-congruences for truncated basic hypergeometric series, mostly of arbitrary order. Our results include congruences modulo the square or the cube of a cyclotomic polynomial, and in some instances, parametric…
A survey paper on some recent results on additive problems with prime powers.
We estimate the sums \[ \sum_{c\leq x} \frac{S(m,n,c,\chi)}{c}, \] where the $S(m,n,c,\chi)$ are Kloosterman sums of half-integral weight on the modular group. Our estimates are uniform in $m$, $n$, and $x$ in analogy with Sarnak and…
The calculations of masses and decay constants of the radial excitations of light pseudoscalar and scalar mesons within QCD sum rules method are briefly reviewed. The predictions are based on the $1/N_c$-supported model spectra, which…
In this paper we obtain further improvement of index bounds for character sums of polynomials over finite fields. We present some examples, which show that our new bound is an improved bound compared to both the Weil bound and the index…
In this paper we present some new identities of hypergeometric type for multiple harmonic sums whose indices are the sequences $(\{1\}^a,c,\{1\}^b),$ $(\{2\}^a,c,\{2\}^b)$ and prove a number of congruences for these sums modulo a prime $p.$…
In this note, an upper bound for the sum of fractional parts of certain smooth functions is established. Such sums arise naturally in numerous problems of analytic number theory. The main feature is here an improvement of the main term due…
The purpose of this paper is to generalize this relation of symmetry between the power sum polynomials and the generalized Euler polynomials to the relation between the power sum polynomials and the generalized higher-order Euler…
In this note, we give explicit expressions of Gauss sums for general (resp. special) linear groups over finite fields, which involves Gauss sums (resp. Kloosterman sums). The key ingredient is averaging such sums over Borel subgroups. As…
We find asymptotic equalities for exact upper bounds of approximations by Fourier sums in uniform metric on classes of $2\pi$-periodic functions, representable in the form of convolutions of functions $\varphi$, which belong to unit balls…
In the present paper a new mean value theorem for polynomials of special form is obtained. The case of sums on vertices of a regular polygon is studied. A criterion for a certain equation to be satisfied is obtained.
Koksma's equidistribution theorem from 1935 states that for Lebesgue almost every $\alpha>1$, the fractional parts of the geometric progression $(\alpha^{n})_{n\geq1}$ are equidistributed modulo one. In the present paper we sharpen this…
Let $\theta $ be a Salem number and $P(x)$ a polynomial with integer coefficients. It is well-known that the sequence $(\theta^n)$ modulo 1 is dense but not uniformly distributed. In this article we discuss the sequence $(P(\theta^n))$…
A notion of generalized $n$-semimodularity is introduced, which extends that of (sub/super)mod\-ularity in four ways at once. The main result of this paper, stating that every generalized $(n\colon\!2)$-semimodular function on the $n$th…
In deeply virtual exclusive electroproduction to leading order accuracy one accesses generalized parton distributions on their cross-over trajectory. Combining Lorentz covariance and analyticity leads to a family of GPD sum rules, guiding…
In this paper, we tackle the following problem: compute the gcd for several univariate polynomials with parametric coefficients. It amounts to partitioning the parameter space into ``cells'' so that the gcd has a uniform expression over…

In recent years some near-optimal estimates have been established for certain sum-product type estimates. This paper gives some first extremal results which provide information about when these bounds may or may not be tight. The main tool…
