Let $\mathbb{Z}^2$ be the two-dimensional integer lattice. For an integer $k\geq 1$, a non-zero lattice point is $k$-free if the greatest common divisor of its coordinates is a $k$-free number. We consider the proportions of $k$-free and…
Exact summatory functions that count the number of prime $k$-tuples up to some cut-off integer are presented. Related summatory $k$-tuple analogs of the first and second Chebyshev functions are then defined. Using a gamma distribution…
We conjecture average counting functions for prime $k$-tuples based on a gamma distribution hypothesis for prime powers. The conjecture is closely related to the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture for $k$-tuples but yields better estimates.…
In this paper we show how to use elementary methods to prove that the volume of Sl_k R / Sl_k Z is zeta(2) * zeta(3) * ... * zeta(k) / k. Using a version of reduction theory presented in this paper, we can compute the volumes of certain…
We count the maximal lattices over $p$-adic fields and the rational number field. For this, we use the theory of Hecke series for a reductive group over nonarchimedean local fields, which was developed by Andrianov and Hina-Sugano. By…
The zeta function of an integral lattice $\Lambda$ is the generating function $\zeta_{\Lambda}(s) = \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n n^{-s}$, whose coefficients count the number of left ideals of $\Lambda$ of index $n$. We derive a formula…
We derive explicit formulae for the subalgebra zeta functions of all higher Heisenberg Lie algebras over an arbitrary compact discrete valuation ring $\mathfrak{o}$. To this end, we develop Hecke-theoretic techniques for the enumeration, by…
We examine the moments of the number of lattice points in a fixed ball of volume $V$ for lattices in Euclidean space which are modules over the ring of integers of a number field $K$. In particular, denoting by $\omega_K$ the number of…
The theory of Ihara zeta functions is extended to non-compact arithmetic quotients of Bruhat-Tits trees. This new zeta function turns out to be a rational function, despite the infinite-dimensional setting. In general it has zeros and…
Let $K\geq 2$ be a natural number and $a_i,b_i\in\mathbb{Z}$ for $i=1,\ldots,K-1$. We use the large sieve to derive explicit upper bounds for the number of prime $k$-tuplets, i.e., for the number of primes $p\leq x$ for which all $a_ip+b_i$…
We investigate properties of zeta functions of polynomial rings and their quotients, generalizing and extending some classical results about Dedekind zeta functions of number fields. By an application of Delange's version of the Ikehara…
We study the distribution of lattice points with prime coordinates lying in the dilate of a convex planar domain having smooth boundary, with nowhere vanishing curvature. Counting lattice points weighted by a von Mangoldt function gives an…
We study the topological zeta function Z_{top,f}(s) associated to a polynomial f with complex coefficients. This is a rational function in one variable and we want to determine the numbers that can occur as a pole of some topological zeta…
For a root of unity $\zeta$ of odd prime order, we restrict coefficients of non-semisimple quantum representations of mapping class groups associated with the small quantum group $\mathfrak{u}_\zeta \mathfrak{sl}_2$ from $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta)$…
This is a leisurely introductory account addressed to non-experts and based on previous work by the authors, on how methods borrowed from physics can be used to "count" an infinite number of points. We begin with the classical case of…
Euclidean lattices occupy a central position in number theory, the geometry of numbers, and modern cryptography. In the present article, the theory of Euclidean lattices is employed to investigate normed $\mathbb{Z}$-modules of finite rank.…
We study Brown's definition of the probabilistic zeta function of a finite lattice as a generalization of that of a finite group. We propose a natural alternative or extension that may be better suited for non-atomistic lattices. The…
We revisit the visible points of a lattice in Euclidean $n$-space together with their generalisations, the $k$th-power-free points of a lattice, and study the corresponding dynamical system that arises via the closure of the lattice…
Given a place $\omega$ of a global function field $K$ over a finite field, with associated affine function ring $R_\omega$ and completion $K_\omega$, the aim of this paper is to give an effective joint equidistribution result for…
We determine the pair correlations of countable sets $T \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ satisfying natural equidistribution conditions. The pair correlations are computed as the volume of a certain region in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$, which can be expressed…
