Let $P^{\left(\frac 12\right)}(n)$ denote the middle prime factor of $n$ (taking into account multiplicity). More generally, one can consider, for any $\alpha \in (0,1)$, the $\alpha$-positioned prime factor of $n$, $P^{(\alpha)}(n)$. It…

Under suitable asymptotic and convexity conditions on a function $g\colon\mathbb{R}_+\to\mathbb{R}$, the solution to $\Delta f=g$, where $\Delta$ is the forward difference operator, is unique up to an additive constant and is called the…

Let $a>1$ be an integer. Denote by $l_a(n)$ the multiplicative order of $a$ modulo integer $n\geq 1$. We prove that there is a positive constant $\delta$ such that if $x^{1-\delta}\log^3 x = o(y)$, then $$ \frac1y \sum_{a<y} \frac1x…

Let $p$ be a prime and $n$ a positive integer such that $\sqrt{\frac p2} + 1 \leq n \leq \sqrt{p}$. For any arithmetic progression $A$ of length $n$ in $\mathbb{F}_p$, we establish an asymptotic formula for the number of directions…

We obtain an asymptotic formula for all moments of Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(1,\chi)$ modulo $p$ when averaged over a subgroup of characters $\chi$ of size $(p-1)/d$ with $\varphi(d)=o(\log p)$. Assuming the infinitude of Mersenne primes,…

This paper is a continuation of earlier work by the first author who determined the John--Nirenberg constant of ${\rm BMO}^p\big((0,1)\big)$ for the range $1\le p\le 2.$ Here, we compute that constant for $p>2.$ As before, the main results…

For the Bergman projection operator $P$ we prove that $ \|P\|_{{L^1(B,d\lambda)\rightarrow B_1}}= \frac {(2n+1)!}{n!}.$ Here $\lambda$ stands for the invariant metric in the unit ball $B$ of $\mathbf{C}^n$, and $B_1$ denotes the Besov space…
