We prove that an additive form of degree $d=2m$, $m$ odd, $m\ge3$, over the unramified quadratic extension $\mathbb{Q}_2(\sqrt{5})$ has a nontrivial zero if the number of variables $s$ satisifies $s \ge 4d+1$. If $3 \nmid d$, then there…
Let g be a cubic polynomial with integer coefficients and n>9 variables, and assume that the congruence g=0 modulo p^k is soluble for all prime powers p^k. We show that the equation g=0 has infinitely many integer solutions when the cubic…
By adopting a new approach to the analysis of the density of p-adic solutions arising in applications of the circle method, we show that under modest conditions the existence of non-trivial p-adic solutions suffices to establish positivity…
Let $a,b>0$ be coprime integers. Assuming a conjecture on Hecke eigenvalues along binary cubic forms, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of primes of the form $ax^2+by^3$ with $x \leq X^{1/2}$ and $y \leq X^{1/3}$. The proof…
A new derivation of the classic asymptotic expansion of the n-th prime is presented. A fast algorithm for the computation of its terms is also given, which will be an improvement of that by Salvy (1994). Realistic bounds for the error with…
We consider two multiplicative statistics on the set of integer partitions: the norm of a partition, which is the product of its parts, and the supernorm of a partition, which is the product of the prime numbers $p_i$ indexed by its parts…
A non-symmetric reciprocity formula is established that expresses the fourth moment of automorphic L-functions of level q and primitive central character twisted by the l-th Hecke eigenvalue as a twisted mixed moment of automorphic…
By Weyl's asymptotic formula, for any potential $V$ whose negative part $V_-$ is an $L^{1+d/2}$-function, \begin{align*} \operatorname{Tr} [-h^2 \Delta + V]_- &= L_d^{\mathrm{cl}} h^{-d} \int \mathrm{d} x\,[V]_-^{1+\frac d 2} + \mathrm{o}…
Let $H_k$ be the set of all normalized primitive holomorphic cusp forms of even integral weight $k\geq 2$ for the full modular group $SL(2, \mathbb{Z})$, and let $j\geq 3$ be any fixed integer. For $f\in H_k$, we write $\lambda_{{\rm{sym}^j…
Let $p_n$ denote the $n$-th prime number, and let $d_n=p_{n+1}-p_{n}$. Under the Hardy--Littlewood prime-pair conjecture, we prove \begin{align*} \sum_{n\le X}\frac{\log^{\alpha}d_n}{d_n} \sim\begin{cases} \frac{X\log\log\log X}{\log…
For primes p greater than 3, we propose a conjecture that relates the values of cup products in the Galois cohomology of the maximal unramified outside p extension of a cyclotomic field on cyclotomic p-units to the values of p-adic…
When restricted to some non-negative multiplicative function, say f, bounded on primes and that vanishes on non square-free integers, our result provides us with an asymptotic for $\sum_{n \le X}f(n)/n$ with error term $O((\log…
A new local, covariant ``counter-term'' is used to construct a variational principle for asymptotically flat spacetimes in any spacetime dimension $ d \ge 4$. The new counter-term makes direct contact with more familiar background…
Let $C$ be a cubic form with rational coefficients in $n$ variables, and let $h$ be the $h$-invariant of $C$. Let $L_1, \ldots, L_r$ be linear forms with real coefficients such that if $\boldsymbol{\alpha} \in \mathbb{R}^r \setminus \{…
Let Q be a non-singular quadratic form with integer coefficients. When Q is indefinite we provide new upper bounds for the least non-trivial integral solution to the equation Q=0. When Q is positive definite we provide improved upper bounds…
In 2013 Bettin and Conrey have introduced a cotangent sum $c \colon \mathbb{Q}_{>0}\to \mathbb{R}$, which can be regarded as a variant of the Dedekind sum. They have discovered that the cotangent sum satisfies a kind of reciprocity laws.…
We obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of primes $p\leq x_1$, $p\leq x_2$ such that $p_1(p_2+a)\equiv l \pmod q$ with $(a,q)=(l,q)=1$, $q\leq x^{\kappa_0}$, $x_1\geq x^{1-\alpha}$, $x_2\geq x^{\alpha}$, $$…
We study the distribution of Hasse's unit index $Q(L)$ for the CM-fields $L = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d}, \sqrt{-1})$ as $d$ varies among positive squarefree integers. We prove that the number of $d\leq X$ such that $Q(L) = 2$ is proportional to…
We derive an asymptotic formula for the divisor function $\tau(k)$ in an arithmetic progression $k\equiv a(\bmod \ q)$, uniformly for $q\leq X^{\Delta_{n,l}}$ with $(q,a)=1$. The parameter $\Delta_{n,l}$ is defined as $$…
Let $\mathbf{f} = (f_1, \ldots, f_R)$ be a system of polynomials with integer coefficients in which the degrees need not all be the same. We provide sufficient conditions for which the system of equations $f_j (x_1, \ldots, x_n) = 0 \ (1…
