Green proved an arithmetic analogue of Szemer\'edi's celebrated regularity lemma and used it to verify a conjecture of Bergelson, Host, and Kra which sharpens Roth's theorem on three-term arithmetic progressions in dense sets. It shows that…

Extending results of Linial (1984) and Aigner (1985), we prove a uniform lower bound on the balance constant of a poset $P$ of width $2$. This constant is defined as $\delta(P) = \max_{(x, y)\in P^2}\min\{\mathbb{P}(x\prec y),…

We show that at least 1/3 of positive real numbers are in the set of limit points of normalized prime gaps. More precisely, if $p_n$ denotes the $n$th prime and $\mathbb{L}$ is the set of limit points of the sequence $\{(p_{n+1}-p_n)/\log…

In this paper we obtain a new sum-product estimate in prime fields. In particular, we show that if $A\subseteq \mathbb{F}_p$ satisfies $|A|\le p^{64/117}$ then $$ \max\{|A\pm A|, |AA|\} \gtrsim |A|^{39/32}. $$ Our argument builds on and…

The $L\_2$-minimax risk in Sobolev classes of densities with non-integer smoothness index is shown to have an analog form to that in integer Sobolev classes. To this end, the notion of Sobolev classes is generalized to fractional…

We obtain a lower bound for a number of primes in tuples. As applications, we obtain a lower bound for the Romanoff type representation functions.

We consider triplets of densities $(u_1,u_2,u_3)$ minimizing the Dirichlet energy \[\sum_{j=1}^3 \int_{\Omega} |\nabla u_j|^2\,dx \] over a bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N$, subject to the partial segregation condition: \[…

We obtain bounds on fractional parts of binary forms of the shape $$\Psi(x,y)=\alpha_k x^k+\alpha_l x^ly^{k-l}+\alpha_{l-1}x^{l-1}y^{k-l+1}+\cdots+\alpha_0 y^k$$ with $\alpha_k,\alpha_l,\ldots,\alpha_0\in\mathbb{R}$ and $l\leq k-2.$ By…

We prove a lower bound on the maximum of the Riemann zeta function in a typical short interval on the critical line. Together with the upper bound from the previous work of the authors, this implies tightness of $$ \max_{|h|\leq…

For a prime number $p$ and a sequence of integers $a_0,\dots,a_k\in \{0,1,\dots,p\}$, let $s(a_0,\dots,a_k)$ be the minimum number of $(k+1)$-tuples $(x_0,\dots,x_k)\in A_0\times\dots\times A_k$ with $x_0=x_1+\dots + x_k$, over subsets…

Hypothesis testing is a fundamental issue in statistical inference and has been a crucial element in the development of information sciences. The Chernoff bound gives the minimal Bayesian error probability when discriminating two hypotheses…

A scheme for locally adaptive bandwidth selection is proposed which sensitively shrinks the bandwidth of a kernel estimator at lowest density regions such as the support boundary which are unknown to the statistician. In case of a…

We apply general methods to generate upper and lower bounds for the essential minimum of a specific family of height functions. In particular, the results shown in this article apply to the case of the Zhang-Zagier height. Furthermore, we…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $E\subset \mathbb{F}_p^2$ with $|E|=p^a$, where $0<a\le 1$. For a direction $V$ (a $1$-dimensional subspace of $\mathbb{F}_p^2$), let $\pi^V:\mathbb{F}_p^2\to \mathbb{F}_p^2/V$ denote the quotient map. We…

To improve convergence results obtained using a framework for unsymmetric meshless methods due to Schaback (Preprint G\"ottingen 2006), we extend, in two directions, the Sobolev bound due to Arcang\'eli et al. (Numer Math 107, 181-211,…

We show that a domain is an extension domain for a Haj\l asz-Besov or for a Haj\l asz-Triebel-Lizorkin space if and only if it satisfies a measure density condition. We use a modification of the Whitney extension where integral averages are…

We show that even mild improvements of the Polya-Vinogradov inequality would imply significant improvements of Burgess' bound on character sums. Our main ingredients are a lower bound on certain types of character sums (coming from works of…

We establish the prime geodesic theorem for the Picard orbifold $\mathrm{PSL}_{2}(\mathbb{Z}[i]) \backslash \mathbb{H}^{3}$, wherein the error term shrinks proportionally to improvements in the subconvex exponent for quadratic Dirichlet…

In this paper a simple proof of the Chebyshev's inequality for random vectors obtained by Chen (arXiv:0707.0805v2, 2011) is obtained. This inequality gives a lower bound for the percentage of the population of an arbitrary random vector X…
