We obtain a non--trivial upper bound for the multiplicative energy of any sufficiently large subset of a subvariety of a finite algebraic group. We also find some applications of our results to growth of conjugates classes, estimates of…

Given a subset of real numbers $A$ with small product $AA$ we obtain a new upper bound for the additive energy of $A$. The proof uses a natural observation that level sets of convolutions of the characteristic function of $A$ have small…

We establish a central limit theorem for the central values of Dirichlet $L$-functions with respect to a weighted measure on the set of primitive characters modulo $q$ as $q \rightarrow \infty$. Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis…

This paper presents a novel systematic methodology to obtain new simple and tight approximations, lower bounds, and upper bounds for the Gaussian Q-function, and functions thereof, in the form of a weighted sum of exponential functions.…

We prove logarithmic lower bounds on digital sums of powers, multiples of powers, factorials, and the least common multiple of $\{1,\ldots, n\}$, using only elementary number theory. We conclude with an expository proof of Stewart's theorem…

Let $q$ be a power of a prime and let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field consisting of $q$ elements. We establish new explicit estimates on Gauss sums of the form $S_n(a) = \sum_{x\in \mathbb{F}_q}\psi_a(x^n)$, where $\psi_a$ is a…

Under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we use Beurling-Selberg extremal functions to bound the mean and mean square of the argument of Dirichlet $L$-functions to a large prime modulus $q$. As applications, we give alternative proofs of…

Let $g$ be a fixed Hecke cusp form for $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ and $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character of conductor $M$. The best known subconvex bound for $L(1/2,g\otimes \chi)$ is of Burgess strength. The bound was proved by a…

A method of estimating sums of multiplicative functions braided with Dirichlet characters is demonstrated, leading to a taxonomy of the characters for which such sums are large.

We address the "sums of dilates problem" by looking for non-trivial lower bounds on sumsets of the form $k \cdot X + l \cdot X$, where $k$ and $l$ are non-zero integers and $X$ is a subset of a possibly non-abelian group $G$ (written…

In this paper, we investigate the average behavior of ternary correlations for general $k$-divisor-bounded multiplicative functions, assuming certain second moment integral bounds for the associated $L$-functions. Our approach differs from…

The Burgess inequality is the best upper bound we have for the character sum $S_{\chi}(M,N) = \sum_{M<n\le M+N} \chi(n).$ Until recently, no explicit estimates had been given for the inequality. In 2006, Booker gave an explicit estimate for…

Under GRH, we establish a version of Duke's short-sum theorem for entire Artin $L$-functions. This yields corresponding bounds for residues of Dedekind zeta functions. All numerical constants in this work are explicit.

We establish new bounds on character values and character ratios for finite groups $G$ of Lie type, which are considerably stronger than previously known bounds, and which are best possible in many cases. These bounds have the form…

Let $g \geq 3$ be fixed and odd, and for large $q$ let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character modulo $q$ of order $g$. Conditionally on GRH we improve the existing upper bounds in the P\'{o}lya-Vinogradov inequality for $\chi$, showing…

Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we provide explicit upper bounds for moduli of $\log{\mathcal{L}(s)}$ and $\mathcal{L}'(s)/\mathcal{L}(s)$ in the neighbourhood of the 1-line when $\mathcal{L}(s)$ are the Riemann, Dirichlet and…

We establish the prime geodesic theorem for the modular surface with exponent $\frac{2}{3}+\varepsilon$, improving upon the long-standing exponent $\frac{25}{36}+\varepsilon$ of Soundararajan-Young (2013). This was previously known…

We revisit several hybrid multiplicative-to-additive type functions from a recent preprint article. These functions, $g(n)$ with Dirichlet generating function (DGF) $\zeta(s)^{-1} (1+P(s))^{-1}$ for $\Re(s) > 1$ where $P(s) = \sum_p p^{-s}$…

This paper presents a lower bound for optimizing a finite sum of $n$ functions, where each function is $L$-smooth and the sum is $\mu$-strongly convex. We show that no algorithm can reach an error $\epsilon$ in minimizing all functions from…

In this note we prove a new estimate on so-called GCD sums (also called G\'{a}l sums), which, for certain coefficients, improves significantly over the general bound due to de la Bret\`{e}che and Tenenbaum. We use our estimate to prove new…
