This paper is a part of our programme to generalise the Hardy-Littlewood method to handle systems of linear questions in primes. This programme is laid out in our paper Linear Equations in Primes [LEP], which accompanies this submission. In…

Bernstein polynomials provide a constructive proof for the Weierstrass approximation theorem, which states that every continuous function on a closed bounded interval can be uniformly approximated by polynomials with arbitrary accuracy.…

Given a monotonically decreasing $\psi: \mathbb{N} \to [0,\infty)$, Khintchine's Theorem provides an efficient tool to decide whether, for almost every $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$, there are infinitely many $(p,q) \in \mathbb{Z}^2$ such that…

In 2017 Tao proposed a variant Sarnak's M\"{o}bius disjointness conjecture with logarithmic averaging: For any zero entropy dynamical system $(X,T)$, $\frac{1}{\log N} \sum_{n=1} ^N \frac{f(T^n x) \mu (n)}{n}= o(1)$ for every $f\in…

Let $G=K\ltimes\mathbb{R}^n$, where $K$ is a compact connected subgroup of $O(n)$ acting on $\mathbb{R}^n$ by rotations. Let $\mathfrak{g}\supset\mathfrak{k}$ be the respective Lie algebras of $G$ and $K$, and $pr:…

We establish several results concerning the expected general phenomenon that, given a multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{C}$, the values of $f(n)$ and $f(n+a)$ are "generally" independent unless $f$ is of a "special" form.…

We complete the proof of the Nisnevich conjecture in equal characteristic: for a smooth algebraic variety $X$ over a field $k$, a $k$-smooth divisor $D \subset X$, and a reductive $X$-group $G$ whose base change $G_D$ is totally isotropic,…

Let $(X,\nu,T)$ be a measure-preserving system, and let $P_1,\ldots, P_k$ be polynomials with integer coefficients. We prove that, for any $f_1,\ldots, f_k\in L^{\infty}(X)$, the M\"obius-weighted polynomial multiple ergodic averages…

Let $F : \mathrm{End}_{\mathbb{F_p}}(\mathbb{G}_{a/K}^d)$ be an additive polynomial mapping over a global function field $K/\mathbb{F}_q$, and let $P \in \mathbb{G}_a^d(K)$. Following Silverman, consider $\delta := \lim_{n \in \mathbb{N}}…

We generalize both the notion of polynomial functions on Lie groups and the notion of horizontally affine maps on Carnot groups. We fix a subset $S$ of the algebra $\mathfrak g$ of left-invariant vector fields on a Lie group $\mathbb G$ and…

We prove Sarnak's spherical density conjecture for the principal congruence subgroup of SL(n, Z) of arbitrary level. Applications include a complete version of Sarnak's optimal lifting conjecture for principal congruence subgroups of SL(n,…

Let $\mathcal{O}$ be an order, that is a commutative ring with $1$ whose additive structure is a free $\mathbb{Z}$-module of finite rank. A generalized number system (GNS for short) over $\mathcal{O}$ is a pair $(p,\mathcal{D} )$ where…

Let $G$ be a group and let $k$ be a field. Kaplansky's direct finiteness conjecture states that every one-sided unit of the group ring $k[G]$ must be a two-sided unit. In this paper, we establish a geometric direct finiteness theorem for…

Let $(X, T)$ be a topological dynamical system. We show that if each invariant measure of $(X, T)$ gives rise to a measure-theoretic dynamical system that is either: a. rigid along a sequence of "bounded prime volume" or b. admits a…

We prove Gieseker conjecture for an homogeneous space $X$, saying that if $X$ has no non-trivial tame coverings then it has no non-trivial regular singular $\mathscr{O}_X$-coherent $\mathscr{D}_{X/k}$-modules. In order to do so we prove a…
