We resolve the function field analogue of the conjecture concerning distribution of twin primes in arithmetic progression.
In this note we describe weight functions that exhibit a transitional behavior between weak and strong correlation with the Liouville function. We also describe a binary problem which may be considered as an interpolation between Chowla's…
We develop an approach to study character sums, weighted by a multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{F}_q[t]\to S^1$, of the form \begin{equation} \sum_{G\in \mathcal{M}_N}f(G)\chi(G)\xi(G), \end{equation} where $\chi$ is a Dirichlet character…
For a fixed polynomial $\Delta$, we study the number of polynomials $f$ of degree $n$ over $\mathbb F_q$ such that $f$ and $f+\Delta$ are both irreducible, an $\mathbb F_q[T]$-analogue of the twin primes problem. In the large-$q$ limit, we…
We prove a function field version of Chowla's conjecture on the autocorrelation of the M\"obius function in the limit of a large finite field of characteristic 2.
We investigate function field analogs of the distribution of primes, and prime $k$-tuples, in "very short intervals" of the form $I(f) := \{ f(x) + a : a \in \mathbb{F}_p \}$ for $f(x) \in \mathbb{F}_p[x]$ and $p$ prime, as well as…
We investigate progressions in the set of pairs of integers $\mathbb{Z}^2$ and define a generalisation of the Jacobsthal function. For this function, we conjecture a specific upper bound and prove that this bound would be a sufficient…
n this paper, we state several conjectures regarding distribution of primes and of pairs of primes represented by irreducible homogeneous polynomial in two variables $f(a,b)$. We formulate conjectures with respect to the slope $t=b/a$ for…
Assuming Dickson's conjecture, we obtain multidimensional analogues of recent results on the behavior of certain multiplicative arithmetic functions near twin-prime arguments. This is inspired by analogous unconditional theorems of Schinzel…
We establish cancellation in short sums of certain special trace functions over $\mathbb{F}_q[u]$ below the P\'{o}lya-Vinogradov range, with savings approaching square-root cancellation as $q$ grows. This is used to resolve the…
Inspired by the work of Bourgain and Garaev (2013), we provide new bounds for certain weighted bilinear Kloosterman sums in polynomial rings over a finite field. As an application, we build upon and extend some results of Sawin and…
We prove a few uniform versions of the Mordell-Lang Conjecture and of the Shafarevich Conjecture for curves over function fields and their rational points. The main focus is on function fields having high transcendence degree over the…
It is a folklore conjecture that the M\"obius function exhibits cancellation on shifted primes; that is, $\sum_{p\le X}\mu(p+h) \ = \ o(\pi(X))$ as $X\to\infty$ for any fixed shift $h>0$. This appears in print at least since Hildebrand in…
Let $\lambda (n)$ denote the Liouville function. Complementary to the prime number theorem, Chowla conjectured that \vspace{1mm} \noindent {\bf Conjecture (Chowla).} {\em \begin{equation} \label{a.1} \sum_{n\le x} \lambda (f(n)) =o(x)…
Erd\H{o}s proved that $\mathcal{F}(A) := \sum_{a \in A}\frac{1}{a\log a}$ converges for any primitive set of integers $A$ and later conjectured this sum is maximized when $A$ is the set of primes. Banks and Martin further conjectured that…
While the twin prime conjecture is still famously open, it holds true in the setting of finite fields: There are infinitely many pairs of monic irreducible polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q$ that differ by a fixed constant, for each $q \geq…
We prove a function field version of Chowla's conjecture on the autocorrelation of the Mobius function in the limit of a large finite field.
We give a short proof of "Pellet's Formula" for the M\"{o}bius Function on $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$, deriving an intermediate formula (which we call "Proto-Pellet's Formula") along the way. We then construct and prove an analogous "Proto-Pellet's…
This paper consists of two halves. In the first half of the paper, we consider real-valued functions $f$ whose domain is the vertex set of a graph $G$ and that are Lipschitz with respect to the graph distance. By placing a uniform…
In this note we study the Dirichlet problem associated with a version of prime end boundary of a bounded domain in a complete metric measure space equipped with a doubling measure supporting a Poincare inequality. We show the resolutivity…
