In this paper, we prove power-saving bounds for the corelation of the M\"obius function with polynomial phases of degree $k$ in function fields $\mathbb{F}_p[t]$, when $p > k$. The proof relies on a new approximation result for phases of…

In this paper, I utilize a variant of the Selberg--Delange method to find quantitative estimates of the sums \[M_{k,\omega}(x,y)=\sum_{\substack{p_{1}(n)> y\\ n\leq x} } \mu(n) {\omega(n)-1\choose k-1},\] where $y$ can grow with $x$ but we…

In the ordinal Matroid Secretary Problem (MSP), elements from a weighted matroid are presented in random order to an algorithm that must incrementally select a large weight independent set. However, the algorithm can only compare pairs of…

Let $\Lambda\left(n\right)$ be the Von Mangoldt function, let \[ r_{G}\left(n\right)=\underset{{\scriptstyle m_{1}+m_{2}=n}}{\sum_{m_{1},m_{2}\leq n}}\Lambda\left(m_{1}\right)\Lambda\left(m_{2}\right), \] \[…

We consider a wide class of summatory functions F{f;N,p^m}=\sum_{k\leq N}f(p^m k), m\in \mathbb Z_+\cup {0}, associated with the multiplicative arithmetic functions f of a scaled variable k\in \mathbb Z_+, where p is a prime number.…

We study the growth rate of the summatory function of the M\"obius function in the context of an algebraic curve over a finite field. Our work shows a strong resemblance to its number field counterpart, which was proved by Ng in 2004. We…

We study the probability distribution function (PDF) of the order parameter of the three-dimensional $O(N)$ model at criticality using the functional renormalisation group. For this purpose, we generalize the method introduced in [Balog et…

We show that the growth of the principal M\"obius function on the permutation poset is exponential. This improves on previous work, which has shown that the growth is at least polynomial. We define a method of constructing a permutation…

We show that, for the M\"obius function $\mu(n)$, we have $$ \sum_{x < n\leq x+x^{\theta}}\mu(n)=o(x^{\theta}) $$ for any $\theta>0.55$. This improves on a result of Ramachandra from 1976, which is valid for $\theta>7/12$. Ramachandra's…

Let P(n) denote the largest prime factor of $n \ge 2, P(1) = 1$, and let $$ \beta(n) = \sum_{p|n}p, \Beta(n) = \sum_{p^\alpha||n}\alpha p, \Beta_1(n) = \sum_{\p^\alpha||n}p^\alpha $$ denote "large" additive functions. A survey of results on…

We study higher uniformity properties of the M\"obius function $\mu$, the von Mangoldt function $\Lambda$, and the divisor functions $d_k$ on short intervals $(X,X+H]$ with $X^{\theta+\varepsilon} \leq H \leq X^{1-\varepsilon}$ for a fixed…

We provide examples of multiplicative functions $f$ supported on the $k$-free integers such that at primes $f(p)=\pm 1$ and such that the partial sums of $f$ up to $x$ are $o(x^{1/k})$. Further, if we assume the Generalized Riemann…

In the paper, a regenerative process $\{X_n:n\in\mathbb{N}\}$ with finite mean cycle length is considered. For~$M_n^{(q)}$ denoting the $q$-th largest value in $\{X_k : 1\leqslant k \leqslant n\}$, we prove that \begin{equation*}…

For an indeterminate moment problem we denote the orthonormal polynomials by P_n. We study the relation between the growth of the function P(z)=(\sum_{n=0}^\infty|P_n(z)|^2)^{1/2} and summability properties of the sequence (P_n(z)). Under…

We discuss the multiplicity of the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function and the summatory function $M(x)$ of the M\"obius function. The purpose of this paper is to consider two open problems under some conjectures. One is that…

In the framework of a strictly local regular Dirichlet space ${\bf X}$ we introduce the subspaces $PW_{\omega},\>\>\omega>0,$ of Paley-Wiener functions of bandwidth $\omega$. It is shown that every function in $PW_{\omega},\>\>\omega>0,$ is…

We analyze algorithms for computing the $n$th prime $p_n$ and establish asymptotic bounds for several approaches. Using existing results on the complexity of evaluating the prime-counting function $\pi(x)$, we show that the binary search…

We study a poset of compositions restricted by part size under a partial ordering introduced by Bj\"{o}rner and Stanley. We show that our composition poset $C_{d+1}$ is isomorphic to the poset of words $A_d^*$. This allows us to use…

Our starting point is the measure $\epsilon_x-\alpha_x\rho_x^{\omega_1}+\beta_x\rho_x^{\omega_2}$, where $\rho_x^{\omega_i}$ is the harmonic measure relative to $x \in \omega_1 \subset \overline{\omega}_1 \subset \omega_2$ and $\omega_i$…

We introduce and study "norm-multiplicative" homomorphisms $\varphi: {\cal L}^1(F) \rightarrow {\cal M}_r(G)$ between group and measure algebras, and $\varphi: {\cal L}^1(\omega_F) \rightarrow {\cal M}(\omega_G)$ between Beurling group and…
