The investigation of primes in certain arithmetic sequences is one of the fundamental problems in number theory and especially, finding blocks of distinct primes has gained a lot of attention in recent years. In this context, we prove the…
Let $V$ be a vector space over a finite field $k=\mathbb{F} _q$ of dimension $n$. For a polynomial $P:V\to k$ we define the bias of $P$ to be $$b_1(P)=\frac {|\sum _{v\in V}\psi (P(V))|}{q^n}$$ where $\psi :k\to \mathbb{C} ^\star$ is a…
We study $\mathbb{R}_{\textrm{an},\exp}$-definable functions $f:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ that take integer values at all sufficiently large positive integers. If $|f(x)|= O\big(2^{(1+10^{-5})x}\big)$, then we find polynomials $P_1, P_2$…
Let $f\in\mathbb{Z}[X]$ be quadratic or cubic polynomial. We prove that there exists an integer $G_f\geq 2$ such that for every integer $k\geq G_f$ one can find infinitely many integers $n\geq 0$ with the property that none of…
Let $A$ be a subset of a finite field $\mathbb{F}$. When $\mathbb{F}$ has prime order, we show that there is an absolute constant $c > 0$ such that, if $A$ is both sum-free and equal to the set of its multiplicative inverses, then $|A| <…
We obtain the following dimension independent Bernstein-Markov inequality in Gauss space: for each $1\leq p<\infty$ there exists a constant $C_p>0$ such that for any $k\geq 1$ and all polynomials $P$ on $\mathbb{R}^{k}$ we have $$ \| \nabla…
Let $A\subseteq\{1,...,N\}$ and $P_1,...,P_\ell\in\Z[n]$ with $P_i(0)=0$ and $\deg P_i=k$ for every $1\leq i\leq\ell$. We show, using Fourier analytic techniques, that for every $\VE>0$, there necessarily exists $n\in\N$ such that…
We show that every (possibly unbounded) convex polygon $P$ in $R^2$ with $m$ edges can be represented by inequalities $p_1 \ge 0,...,p_n \ge 0,$ where the $p_i$'s are products of at most $k$ affine functions each vanishing on an edge of $P$…
Let $\mathbb C_k[Z_1,\ldots, Z_n]$ denote the set of all polynomials of degree at most $k$ in $n$ complex variables and $\mathscr{C}_n$ denote the set of all $n$ - tuple $\boldsymbol T=(T_1,\ldots,T_n)$ of commuting contractions on some…
The more then hundred years old Bernstein inequality states that the supremum norm of the derivative of a trigonometric polynomial of fixed degree can be bounded from above by supremum norm of the polynomial itself. The reversed Bernstein…
Let $P_{2k}$ be a homogeneous polynomial of degree $2k$ and assume that there exist $C>0$, $D>0$ and $\alpha \ge 0$ such that \begin{equation*} \left\langle P_{2k}f_{m},f_{m}\right\rangle_{L^2(\mathbb{S}^{d-1})}\geq \frac{1}{C\left(…
This paper studies the asymptotic behavior of the exact constants of the Nikolskii inequalities for the space $\Pi_n^d$ of spherical polynomials of degree at most $n$ on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^d\subset \mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ as…
The classical Remez inequality bounds the maximum of the absolute value of a polynomial $P(x)$ of degree $d$ on $[-1,1]$ through the maximum of its absolute value on any subset $Z$ of positive measure in $[-1,1]$. It was shown in…
Let $w_{\alpha}(t)=t^{\alpha}\,e^{-t}$, $\alpha>-1$, be the Laguerre weight function, and $|\cdot|_{w_\alpha}$ denote the associated $L_2$-norm, i.e., $$ | f|_{w_\alpha}:=\Big(\int_{0}^{\infty}w_{\alpha}(t)| f(t)|^2\,dt\Big)^{1/2}. $$…
Let $m$, $r$ and $n$ be positive integers. We denote by ${\bf k}\vdash n$ any tuple of odd positive integers ${\bf k}=(k_1,\dots,k_t)$ such that $k_1+\dots+k_t=n$ and $k_j\ge 3$ for all $j$. In this paper we prove that for every…
We consider the set S(n,0) of monic complex polynomials of degree $n\ge 2$ having all their zeros in the closed unit disk and vanishing at 0. For $p\in S(n,0)$ we let $|p|_{0}$ denote the distance from the origin to the zero set of $p'$. We…
The Markov-Bernstein type inequalities between the norms of functions and of their derivatives are analysed for complex exponential polynomials. We establish a relation between the sharp constants in those inequalities and the stability…
Consider a semi-algebraic set A in R^d constructed from the sets which are determined by inequalities p_i(x)>0, p_i(x)\ge 0, or p_i(x)=0 for a given list of polynomials p_1,...,p_m. We prove several statements that fit into the following…
We extend to several variables an earlier result of ours, according to which an entire function of one variable of sufficiently small exponential type, having all derivatives of even order taking integer values at two points, is a…
Questions concerning small fractional parts of polynomials and pseudo-polynomials have a long history in analytic number theory. In this paper, we improve on earlier work by Madritsch and Tichy. In particular, let $f=P+\phi$ where $P$ is a…
