We prove that the Hausdorff dimension of the set $\mathbf{x}\in [0,1)^d$, such that $$ \left|\sum_{n=1}^N \exp\left(2 \pi i\left(x_1n+\ldots+x_d n^d\right)\right) \right|\ge c N^{1/2} $$ holds for infinitely many natural numbers $N$, is at…

The authors have recently obtained a lower bound of the Hausdorff dimension of the sets of vectors $(x_1, \ldots, x_d)\in [0,1)^d$ with large Weyl sums, namely of vectors for which $$ \left| \sum_{n=1}^{N}\exp(2\pi i (x_1 n+\ldots +x_d…

We prove that there exist positive constants $C$ and $c$ such that for any integer $d \ge 2$ the set of ${\mathbf x}\in [0,1)^d$ satisfying $$ cN^{1/2}\le \left|\sum^N_{n=1}\exp\left (2 \pi i \left (x_1n+\ldots+x_d n^d\right)\right)…

A special case of the Menshov--Rademacher theorem implies for almost all polynomials $x_1Z+\ldots +x_d Z^{d} \in {\mathbb R}[Z]$ of degree $d$ for the Weyl sums satisfy the upper bound $$ \left| \sum_{n=1}^{N}\exp\left(2\pi i \left(x_1…

We obtain the exact value of the Hausdorff dimension of the set of coefficients of Gauss sums which for a given $\alpha \in (1/2,1)$ achieve the order at least $N^{\alpha}$ for infinitely many sum lengths $N$. For Weyl sums with polynomials…

We show that for the base two expansion \[ x=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}2^{-(d_{1}(x)+d_{2}(x)+\dots+d_{i}(x))}\] with $x\in(0,1]$ and $d_{i}(x)\in\mathbb{N}$ the set $A=\{x|\lim_{i\to\infty}d_{i}(x)=\infty\}$ has Hausdorff dimension zero, this is…

We describe a curious dynamical system that results in sequences of real numbers in $[0,1]$ with seemingly remarkable properties. Let the function $f:\mathbb{T} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ satisfy $\hat{f}(k) \geq c|k|^{-2}$ and define a…

Let f be a Hecke-Maass or holomorphic primitive cusp form for $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ with Fourier coefficients $\lambda_{f}(n)$. Let $\chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character of modulus p, where p is a prime number. In this article we prove the…

We study an apparently new question about the behaviour of Weyl sums on a subset $\mathcal{X}\subseteq [0,1)^d$ with a natural measure $\mu$ on $\mathcal{X}$. For certain measure spaces $(\mathcal{X}, \mu)$ we obtain non-trivial bounds for…

We investigate the convergence of signed null sequences of the form \[ \sum_{n=1}^\infty \varepsilon_n a_n, \quad \varepsilon_n \in \{-1,1\}, \] where $(a_n)$ tends to zero in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Our main result shows that for any such…

We obtain an estimate for the cubic Weyl sum which improves the bound obtained from Weyl differencing for short ranges of summation. In particular, we show that for any $\varepsilon>0$ there exists some $\delta>0$ such that for any coprime…

Let $[a_1(x),a_2(x),a_3(x),\cdots]$ be the continued fraction expansion of $x\in (0,1)$. This paper is concerned with certain sets of continued fractions with non-decreasing partial quotients. As a main result, we obtain the Hausdorff…

We examine sets $\mathscr A$ of natural numbers having the property that for some real number $p\in (0,2)$, one has the subconvex bound $$\int_0^1 \Bigl| \sum_{n\in \mathscr A\cap [1,N]}e(n\alpha)\Bigr|^p\, {\rm d}\alpha \ll N^{-1}|\mathscr…

We prove that for all $s\in(0,d)$ and $c\in (0,1)$ there exists a self-similar set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ with Hausdorff dimension $s$ such that $\mathcal{H}^s(E)=c|E|^s$. This answers a question raised by Zhiying Wen[16].

We prove that for any real polynomial $f(x) \in\mathbb{R} [x]$ the set $$ \{\alpha \in \mathbb{R}: \liminf_{n\to \infty} n\log n ||\alpha f(n)|| >0\} $$ has positive Hausdorff dimension. Here $||\xi ||$ means the distance from $\xi $ to the…

We obtain positive lower bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of sets of real numbers given by expressions of the form $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{a_n b_n}$, where $b_n$ satisfies some growth condition and $a_n$ lies in some set, possibly…

We show that a certain two-dimensional family of Weyl sums of length $P$ takes values as large as $P^{3/4 + o(1)}$ on almost all linear slices of the unit torus, contradicting a widely held expectation that Weyl sums should exhibit…

Let $\{a_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, $\{b_n\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ be two infinite subsets of positive integers and $\psi:\mathbb{N}\to \mathbb{R}_{>0}$ be a positive function. We completely determine the Hausdorff dimensions of the set of all…

We study the Hausdorff dimension of self-similar sets and measures on the line. We show that if the dimension is smaller than the minimum of 1 and the similarity dimension, then at small scales there are super-exponentially close cylinders.…

Let $w=(w_1,\dots,w_d)$ be a $d$-tuple of positive real numbers such that $\sum_{i}w_i =1$ and $w_1\geq \cdots \geq w_d$. A $d$-dimensional vector $x=(x_1,\dots,x_d)\in\mathbb{R}^d$ is said to be $w$-singular if for every $\epsilon>0$ there…
