In this paper, we improve the moment estimates for the gaps between numbers that can be represented as a sum of two squares of integers. We consider certain sum of Bessel functions and prove the upper bound for its weighted mean value. This…

We establish that, for almost all natural numbers $N$, there is a sum of two positive integral cubes lying in the interval $[N-N^{7/18+\epsilon},N]$. Here, the exponent $7/18$ lies half way between the trivial exponent $4/9$ stemming from…

For $s=3,4$, we prove the existence of arbitrarily long sequences of consecutive integers none of which is a sum of $s$ nonnegative $s$-th powers. More generally, we study the existence of gaps between the values $\leq N$ of diagonal forms…

We obtain closed-form expressions for all sums of the form \mbox{$\sum_{k = 1}^n {F_{mk}{}^4 }$} and \mbox{$\sum_{k = 1}^n {L_{mk}{}^4 }$} and their alternating versions, where $F_i$ and $L_i$ denote Fibonacci and Lucas numbers…

We refine a remark of Steinerberger (2024), proving that for $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$, there exists integers $1 \leq b_{1}, \ldots, b_{k} \leq n$ such that \[ \left\| \sum_{j=1}^k \sqrt{b_j} - \alpha \right\| = O(n^{-\gamma_k}), \] where…

Uchiyama showed that every interval $(n, n + c n^{1/4})$ contains an integer that is the sum of two squares, where $c= 2^{3/2}$. He also conjectured a minimal value of $c$ such that the above statement still holds. We investigate this…

We consider the sum $\sum 1/\gamma$, where $\gamma$ ranges over the ordinates of nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function in an interval $(0,T]$, and consider the behaviour of the sum as $T \to\infty$. We show that, after subtracting a…

In this article, we prove an asymptotic formula for the fourth power mean of a general $s$-dimensional hyper-Kloosterman sum. We find the number of solutions of certain congruence equations mod $p$ which play an integral part to prove our…

Let $E(N)$ denote the number of positive integers $n \le N$, with $n \equiv 4 \pmod{24}$, which cannot be represented as the sum of four squares of primes. We establish that $E(N)\ll N^{11/32}$, thus improving on an earlier result of Harman…

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis we prove that the interval $[N, N + H]$ contains an integer which is a sum of a prime and two squares of primes provided that $H \ge C (\log N)^{4}$, where $C > 0$ is an effective constant.

We prove an upper bound for the number of representations of a positive integer $N$ as the sum of four $k$-th powers of integers of size at most $B$, using a new version of the Determinant method developed by Heath-Brown, along with recent…

It is conjectured that every integer N>454 is the sum of seven nonnegative cubes. We prove the conjecture when N is a multiple of 4.

We prove that a suitable asymptotic formula for the average number of representations of integers $n=p_{1}^{3}+p_{2}^{3}+p_{3}^{3}+p_{4}^{3}$, where $p_1,p_2,p_3,p_4$ are prime numbers, holds in intervals shorter than the the ones…

For any positive integer $k$, we show that infinitely often, perfect $k$-th powers appear inside very long gaps between consecutive prime numbers, that is, gaps of size $$ c_k \frac{\log p \log_2 p \log_4 p}{(\log_3 p)^2}, $$ where $p$ is…

Let $s_1, s_2, \ldots$ be the sequence of positive integers, arranged in increasing order, that are representable by any binary quadratic form of fixed discriminant $D$. We show that \[ \limsup_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{s_{n+1}-s_n}{\log…

For a class of arithmetic subgroups $\Gamma$ in SU(d,1) we prove that for every positive integer $n$ there exists a subgroup $\Gamma_n$ of finite index in $\Gamma$, which lifts to the $n$-fold connected cover of of SU(d,1). Consequently…

This article proves that there are infinitely many primes of the form a^2 + b^4, in fact getting the asymptotic formula. The main result is that \sum_{a^2 + b^4\le x} \Lambda(a^2 + b^4) = 4\pi^{-1}\kappa x^{3/4} (1 + O(\log\log x / \log x))…

In this paper, we conclude the calculation of the domination number of all $n\times m$ grid graphs. Indeed, we prove Chang's conjecture saying that for every $16\le n\le m$, $\gamma(G_{n,m})=\lfloor\frac{(n+2)(m+2)}{5}\rfloor -4$.

It is conjectured that every integer N>454 is the sum of seven nonnegative cubes. We prove the conjecture when N is congruent to 2 mod 4. This result, together with a recent proof for 4|N, shows that the conjecture is true for all even N.

Let $a(n)$ be the Fourier coefficients of a holomorphic cusp form of weight $\kappa=2n\geqslant12$ for the full modular group and $A(x)=\sum\limits_{n\leqslant x}a(n)$. In this paper, we establish an asymptotic formula of the fourth power…
