In this paper, we continue the study on variance of the number of squarefull numbers in short intervals $(x, x + 2 \sqrt{x} H + H^2]$ with $X \le x \le 2X$. We obtain the expected asymptotic for this variance over the range $X^\epsilon \le…
We investigate the error term of the asymptotic formula for the number of squarefree integers up to some bound, and lying in some arithmetic progression a (mod q). In particular, we prove an upper bound for its variance as a varies over…
Define a natural number $n$ as a \textit{square-full} integer if for every prime $p$ such that $p|n$, we have $p^2|n$. In this paper, we establish an upper bound on the variance of square-full integers in short intervals of an expected…
An asymptotic formula for the variance of squarefree numbers in arithmetic progressions of given modulus was obtained by Nunes (see reference [3]). We improve one of the error terms.
We give asymptotics for correlation sums linked with the distribution of squarefree numbers in arithmetic progressions over a fixed modulus. As a particular case we improve a result of Blomer concerning the variance.
Hooley conjectured that the variance V(x;q) of the distribution of primes up to x in the arithmetic progressions modulo q is asymptotically x log q, in some unspecified range of q\leq x. On average over 1\leq q \leq Q, this conjecture is…
We obtain new lower bounds on the number of smooth squarefree integers up to $x$ in residue classes modulo a prime $p$, relatively large compared to $x$, which in some ranges of $p$ and $x$ improve that of A. Balog and C. Pomerance (1992).…
Let $\epsilon > 0$ be sufficiently small and let $0 < \eta < 1/522$. We show that if $X$ is large enough in terms of $\epsilon$ then for any squarefree integer $q \leq X^{196/261-\epsilon}$ that is $X^{\eta}$-smooth one can obtain an…
We prove upper bounds for the error term of the distribution of squarefree numbers up to $X$ in arithmetic progressions modulo $q$ making progress towards two well-known conjectures concerning this distribution and improving upon earlier…
The variance of primes in short intervals relates to the Riemann Hypothesis, Montgomery's Pair Correlation Conjecture and the Hardy--Littlewood Conjecture. In regards to its asymptotics, very little is known unconditionally. We study the…
In this paper, we study the variance of the number of squarefull numbers in short intervals. As a result, we are able to prove that, for any $0 < \theta < 1/2$, almost all short intervals $(x, x + x^{1/2 + \theta}]$ contain about…
Given a zero-free region and an averaged zero-density estimate over all Dirichlet $L$-functions modulo $q\in\mathbb{N}$, we refine the error terms of the prime number theorem in all and almost all short arithmetic progressions. For example,…
We prove an asymptotic formula for squarefree in arithmetic progressions with squarefree moduli, improving previous results by Prachar. The main tool is an estimate for counting solutions of a congruence inside a box that goes beyond what…
We show that counts of squarefree integers up to $X$ in short intervals of size $H$ tend to a Gaussian distribution as long as $H\rightarrow\infty$ and $H = X^{o(1)}$. This answers a question posed by R.R. Hall in 1989. More generally we…
We show that the exponent of distribution of the sequence of squarefree numbers in arithmetic progressions of prime modulus is $\geq 2/3 + 1/57$, improving a result of Prachar from 1958. Our main tool is an upper bound for certain bilinear…
We calculate the mean and variance of sums of the M\"obius function and the indicator function of the squarefrees, in both short intervals and arithmetic progressions, in the context of the ring of polynomials over a finite field of $q$…
We obtain explicit forms of the current best known asymptotic upper bounds for gaps between squarefree integers. In particular we show, for any $x \ge 2$, that every interval of the form $(x, x + 11x^{1/5}\log x]$ contains a squarefree…
We develop a general method for lower bounding the variance of sequences in arithmetic progressions mod $q$, summed over all $q \leq Q$, building on previous work of Liu, Perelli, Hooley, and others. The proofs lower bound the variance by…
In this paper, we show that, for some constant $C > 0$, the interval $(x, x + C x^{5/26}]$ always contains a squarefree number when $x$ is sufficiently large (in terms of $C$). Our improvement comes from establishing asymptotic relations…
Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we give asymptotic bounds on the size of intervals that contain primes from a given arithmetic progression using the approach developed by Carneiro, Milinovich and Soundararajan [Comment. Math.…
