Let $L^2(X,\Sigma,\mu,\tau)$ be a measure-preserving system, with $\tau$ a $\mathbb{Z}$-action. In this note, we prove that the ergodic averages along integer-valued polynomials, $P(n)$, \[ M_N(f):= \frac{1}{N}\sum_{n \leq N} \tau^{P(n)} f…

We prove that $$\max_{t \in [-\pi,\pi]}{|Q(t)|} \leq T_{2n}(\sec(s/4)) = \frac 12 ((\sec(s/4) + \tan(s/4))^{2n} + (\sec(s/4) - \tan(s/4))^{2n})$$ for every even trigonometric polynomial $Q$ of degree at most $n$ with complex coefficients…

Let $s(n)$ denote the number of ones in the binary expansion of the nonnegative integer $n$. How does $s$ behave under addition of a constant $t$? In order to study the differences \[s(n+t)-s(n),\] for all $n\ge0$, we consider the…

Let $\Gamma$ be an LCA group and $(\mu_n)$ be a sequence of bounded regular Borel measures on $\Gamma$ tending to a measure $\mu_0$. Let $G$ be the dual group of $\Gamma$, $S$ be a non-empty subset of $G \setminus \{ 0 \}$, and $[{\mathcal…

We give new lower asymptotical estimate of constant \[ C_n=\sup\biggl\{\frac{\|t_n\|_{C(\mathbb T)}}{\|t_n\|_{L(\mathbb T)}}:t_n\text{are real trigonometric polynomials}, \operatorname{deg}t_n<n\biggr\} \] as $n\to\infty$. This estimate…

Inspired by the work of Schur on the Taylor series of the exponential and Laguerre polynomials, we study the Galois theory of trimmed exponentials $f_{n,n+k}=\sum_{i=0}^{k} \frac{x^{i}}{(n+i)!}$ and of the generalized Laguerre polynomials…

The Tu--Deng Conjecture is concerned with the sum of digits $w(n)$ of $n$ in base~$2$ (the Hamming weight of the binary expansion of $n$) and states the following: assume that $k$ is a positive integer and $1\leq t<2^k-1$. Then \[\Bigl…

We study the computational complexity of approximating the 2->q norm of linear operators (defined as ||A||_{2->q} = sup_v ||Av||_q/||v||_2), as well as connections between this question and issues arising in quantum information theory and…

An asymptotic expansion for the generalised quadratic Gauss sum $$S_N(x,\theta)=\sum_{j=1}^{N} \exp (\pi ixj^2+2\pi ij\theta),$$ where $x$, $\theta$ are real and $N$ is a positive integer, is obtained as $x\rightarrow 0$ and…

We study the rate of growth of ergodic sums along a sequence (a_n) of times: S_N f(x)=f(T^{a_1}x) + ... + f(T^{a_N}x). We characterize the maximal rate of growth of these ergodic sums and identify a number of sequences such as (2^n) that…

We count the algebraic numbers of fixed degree by their $\mathbf{w}$-weighted $l_p$-norm which generalizes the na\"ive height, the length, the Euclidean and the Bombieri norms. For non-negative integers $k,l$ such that $k+2l\leq n$ and a…

We define the generalized-Euler-constant function $\gamma(z)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} z^{n-1} (\frac{1}{n}-\log \frac{n+1}{n})$ when $|z|\leq 1$. Its values include both Euler's constant $\gamma=\gamma(1)$ and the "alternating Euler constant"…

In this note, we will get the estimate of the expected distribution of critical values of Gaussian SU(2) random polynomials as the degree large enough. The result is a direct application of the Kac-Rice formula. The critical values will…

We prove distributional results for mixed character sums \begin{equation*} \sum_{n\le x }\chi(n)e(n\theta), \end{equation*} for fixed $\theta\in [0,1]$ and random character $\chi \pmod q$, as well as for a fixed character $\chi$ and…

A novel power series representation of the generalized Marcum $Q-$function of positive order involving generalized Laguerre polynomials is presented. The absolute convergence of the proposed power series expansion is showed, together with a…

Consider an ordinary generating function $\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}c_kx^k$, of an integer sequence of some combinatorial relevance, and assume that it admits a closed form $C(x)$. Various instances are known where the corresponding truncated sum…

In the present context, superintegrability is a property of certain probability density functions coming from matrix models, which relates to the average over a distinguished basis of symmetric functions, typically the Jack or Macdonald…

For $i = 0, 1, 2, \dots, k$, let $\mu_i$ be a Borel probability measure on $[0,1]$ which is equivalent to Lebesgue measure $\lambda$ and let $T_i:[0,1] \rightarrow [0,1]$ be $\mu_i$-preserving ergodic transformations. We say that…

For the Gauss sums which are defined by S_n(a,q) := \sum_{x (mod q)} e(ax^n/q), Stechkin (1975) conjectured that the quantity A := \sup_{n,q\ge 2} \max_{\gcd(a,q)=1} |S_n(a,q)|/q^(1-1/n) is finite. Shparlinski (1991) proved that A is…
