We obtain a small improvement of Gallagher's larger sieve and we extend it to higher dimensions. We also obtain two interesting upper bounds for the number of solutions to polynomial congruences.

In this article, we address sparse bounds for a class of spectral multipliers that include oscillating multipliers on stratified Lie groups. Our results can be applied to obtain weighted bounds for general Riesz means and for solutions of…

We are interested in classifying those sets of primes $\mathcal{P}$ such that when we sieve out the integers up to $x$ by the primes in $\mathcal{P}^c$ we are left with roughly the expected number of unsieved integers. In particular, we…

We show that both primes and smooth numbers are equidistributed in arithmetic progressions to moduli up to $x^{5/8 - o(1)}$, using triply-well-factorable weights for the primes (we also get improvements for the well-factorable linear sieve…

We obtain a close to the best possible version of the large sieve inequality with amplitudes given by the values of a polynomial with integer coefficients of degree $\geq 2$.

This paper is motivated by the following question in sieve theory. Given a subset $X\subset [N]$ and $\alpha\in (0,1/2)$. Suppose that $|X\pmod p|\leq (\alpha+o(1))p$ for every prime $p$. How large can $X$ be? On the one hand, we have the…

We improve on the spectral large sieve inequality for symmetric-squares. We also prove a lower bound showing that the most optimistic upper bound is not true for this family.

We use the large sieve inequality for smooth numbers due to S. Drappeau, A. Granville and X. Shao (2017), together with some other arguments, to improve their bounds on the frequency of pairs $(q,\chi)$ of moduli $q$ and primitive…

We prove an essentially optimal large sieve inequality for self-dual Eisenstein series of varying levels. This bound can alternatively be interpreted as a large sieve inequality for rationals ordered by height. The method of proof is…

We introduce a modification of the linear sieve whose weights satisfy strong factorization properties, and consequently equidistribute primes up to size $x$ in arithmetic progressions to moduli up to $x^{10/17}$. This surpasses the level of…

We show that there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that $p-1$ is divisible by a square $d^2 \geq p^\theta$ for $\theta=1/2+1/2000.$ This improves the work of Matom\"aki (2009) who obtained the result for $\theta=1/2-\varepsilon$ (with…

The large sieve is used to estimate the density of integral quadratic polynomials $Q$, such that there exists an odd degree integral polynomial which has resultant $\pm 1$ with $Q$. Given a monic integral polynomial $R$ of odd degree, this…

Applying E. Kowalski's recent generalization of the large sieve we prove that certain properties expected to be typical (irreducibility of the characteristic polynomial, absence of squares among the matrix coefficients...) are indeed…

We apply recent bounds of the author (math.PR/0609224) for generalized Smirnov statistics to the distribution of integers whose prime factors satisfy certain systems of inequalities.

For each prime $p$, let $I_p \subset \mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$ denote a collection of residue classes modulo $p$ such that the cardinalities $|I_p|$ are bounded and about $1$ on average. We show that for sufficiently large $x$, the sifted set…

We obtain new lower bounds on the number of smooth squarefree integers up to $x$ in residue classes modulo a prime $p$, relatively large compared to $x$, which in some ranges of $p$ and $x$ improve that of A. Balog and C. Pomerance (1992).…

We prove very general index formulae for integral Galois modules, specifically for units in rings of integers of number fields, for higher K-groups of rings of integers, and for Mordell-Weil groups of elliptic curves over number fields.…

We prove some distribution results for the $k$-fold divisor function in arithmetic progressions to moduli that exceed the square-root of length $X$ of the sum, with appropriate constrains and averaging on the moduli, saving a power of $X$…

Let $\mathfrak{F}_n$ be the set of unitary cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}_n$ over a number field $F$, and let $S\subseteq\mathfrak{F}_n$ be an arbitrary finite subset. Given $\pi_0\in\mathfrak{F}_{n_0}$, we establish…

Let a polynomial $f \in \mathbb{Z}[X_1,\ldots,X_n]$ be given. The square sieve can provide an upper bound for the number of integral $\mathbf{x} \in [-B,B]^n$ such that $f(\mathbf{x})$ is a perfect square. Recently this has been generalized…
