Let $\Gamma$ be a compact patch of a well-curved $C^{n+1}$ curve in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with induced Lebesgue measure ${\rm d} \lambda$, and let $g \mapsto \widehat{g \,{\rm d}\lambda}$ be the Fourier extension operator for $\Gamma$. Then we…

We make effective $l^2 L^p$ decoupling for the parabola in the range $4 < p < 6$. In an appendix joint with Jean Bourgain, we apply the main theorem to prove the conjectural bound for the sixth-order correlation of the integer solutions of…

We give a new proof of $l^2$ decoupling for the parabola inspired from efficient congruencing. Making quantitative this proof matches a bound obtained by Bourgain for the discrete restriction problem for the parabola. We illustrate…

The Diophantine sums $\sum_{n=1}^N \| n \alpha \|^{-1}$ and $\sum_{n=1}^N n^{-1} \| n \alpha \|^{-1}$ appear in many different areas including the ergodic theory of circle rotations, lattice point counting and random walks, often in…

Let $\lambda_i, \mu_j$ be non-zero real numbers not all of the same sign and let $a_i, b_k$ be non-zero integers not all of the same sign. We investigate a mixed Diophantine system of the shape \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} \left|…

For any given positive definite binary quadratic form $Q$ with integer coefficients, we establish two results on Diophantine approximation with integers represented by $Q$. Firstly, we show that for every irrational number $\alpha$, there…

Let f(n)=1 if n=1, 2^(2^(n-2)) if n \in {2,3,4,5}, (2+2^(2^(n-4)))^(2^(n-4)) if n \in {6,7,8,...}. We conjecture that if a system T \subseteq {x_i+1=x_k, x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}} has only finitely many solutions in positive…

We prove sharp $L^{12}$ estimates for exponential sums associated with nondegenerate curves in ${\mathbb R}^4$. We place Bourgain's progress on the Lindel"of hypothesis in a larger framework that contains a continuum of estimates of…

This paper is concerned with the study of diagonal Diophantine inequalities of fractional degree $ \theta ,$ where $ \theta >2$ is real and non-integral. For fixed non-zero real numbers $ \lambda_i $ not all of the same sign we write…

For each $d\geq 0$, we prove decoupling inequalities in $\mathbb R^3$ for the graphs of all bivariate polynomials of degree at most $d$ with bounded coefficients, with the decoupling constant depending uniformly in $d$ but not the…

By using pairs of nontrivial rational solutions of congruent number equation $$ C_N:\;\;y^2=x^3-N^2x, $$ constructed are pairs of rational right (Pythagorean) triangles with one common side and the other sides equal to the sum and…

Strichartz estimates are derived from $\ell^2$-decoupling for phase functions satisfying a curvature condition. Bilinear refinements without loss in the high frequency are discussed. Estimates are established from uniform curvature…

The purpose of this paper is to present some further applications of the general decoupling theory from [B-D1, 2] to certain diophantine issues. In particular, we concider mean value estimates relevant to the Bombieri-Iwaniec approach to…

To prove Fourier restriction estimate using polynomial partitioning, Guth introduced the concept of $k$-broad part of regular $L^p$ norm and obtained sharp $k$-broad restriction estimates. To go from $k$-broad estimates to regular $L^p$…

A symmetrized lattice of $2n$ points in terms of an irrational real number $\alpha$ is considered in the unit square, as in the theorem of Davenport. If $\alpha$ is a quadratic irrational, the square of the $L^2$ discrepancy is found to be…

There are two parts for this paper. In the first part, we extend some results in a recent paper by Du, Guth, Li and Zhang to a more general class of phase functions. The main methods are Bourgain-Demeter's $l^2$ decoupling theorem and…

For a positive integer n, let {\theta}(n) denote the smallest positive integer b such that for each system S \subseteq {x_i \cdot x_j=x_k, x_i+1=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}} which has a solution in positive integers x_1,...,x_n and which has…

Let E_n={x_i=1, x_i+x_j=x_k, x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}}. For a positive integer n, let f(n) denote the greatest finite total number of solutions of a subsystem of E_n in integers x_1,...,x_n. We prove: (1) the function f is…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a non-degenerate planar curve. We show that the curve is of Khintchine-type for convergence in the case of simultaneous approximation with two independent approximation functions; that is if a certain sum converges then…
