In this paper we aim to generalize the results in Baier and Zhao and develop a general formula for large sieve with characters to powerful moduli that will be an improvement to the result of Zhao.

We describe a generalization of the large sieve to situations where the underlying groups are nonabelian, and give several applications to the arithmetic of abelian varieties. In our applications, we sieve the set of primes via the system…

We introduce a new probabilistic model of the primes consisting of integers that survive the sieving process when a random residue class is selected for every prime modulus below a specific bound. From a rigorous analysis of this model, we…

We improve the large sieve inequality with $k$th-power moduli, for all $k\ge 4$. Our method relates these inequalities to a restricted variant of Waring's problem. Firstly, we input a classical divisor bound on the number of representations…

We give a short alternative proof using Heath-Brown's square sieve of a bound of the author for the large sieve with square moduli.

In this paper, we establish a general version of the large sieve with additive characters for restricted sets of moduli in arbitrary dimension for function fields. From this, we derive function field versions for the large sieve in high…

In this paper, we develop a large sieve type inequality with quadratic amplitude. We use the double large sieve to establish non-trivial bounds.

We describe a very general abstract form of sieve based on a large sieve inequality which generalizes both the classical sieve inequality of Montgomery (and its higher-dimensional variants), and our recent sieve for Frobenius over function…

We revisit the large sieve for square moduli and obtain conditional improvements under hypotheses on higher additive energies of modular square roots.

We establish new mean value theorems for primes of size $x$ in arithmetic progressions to moduli as large as $x^{3/5-\epsilon}$ when summed with suitably well-factorable weights. This extends well-known work of Bombieri, Friedlander and…

We present a new proof of the "arithmetic" large sieve inequality, starting from the corresponding "harmonic" inequality, which is based on an amplification idea. We show that this also adapts to give some new sieve inequality for modular…

We prove large sieve inequalities with multivariate polynomial moduli and deduce a general Bombieri--Vinogradov type theorem for a class of polynomial moduli having a sufficient number of variables compared to its degree. This sharpens…

The purpose of this paper is twofold: 1) Applications of Gallagher's larger sieve modulo prime squares do not work. In some relevant cases we can transform the residue class information modulo $p^2$ to more suitable residue information…

We study the average distribution of primes of size $x$ in arithmetic progressions to moduli larger than $x^{\frac{1}{2}}$. Using arithmetic information from the works of many authors together with different variants of the original…

In this paper we study the distribution of squares modulo a square-free number $q$. We also look at inverse questions for the large sieve in the distribution aspect and we make improvements on existing results on the distribution of…

An exponent of distribution 1/16 is established for square-free palindromes. The main input is an upper bound for the number of palindromes, in arithmetic progressions to large moduli, divisible by large squares. Our argument combines a…
