We study the prime numbers that lie in Beatty sequences of the form $\lfloor \alpha n + \beta \rfloor$ and have prescribed algebraic splitting conditions. We prove that the density of primes in both a fixed Beatty sequence and a Chebotarev…
We continue our investigations of bilinear sums with modular square roots and the large sieve for square moduli in our recent article "On bilinear sums with modular square roots and applications II", arXiv:2603.00768. In the present…
Fix a modulus $q$. One would expect the number of primes in each invertible residue class mod $q$ to be multinomially distributed, i.e. for each $p \,\mathrm{mod}\, q$ to behave like an independent random variable uniform on…
We prove an analogue of a result by Goldston, Pintz and Yildirim for small gaps between primes that split completely in an abelian number field. We prove both a conditional result assuming the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture, and an…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ be the polynomial ring over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. For arithmetic functions $\psi_{1}, \psi_{2}: \mathbb{F}_{q}[t]\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$, we establish that if a Bombieri-Vinogradov type equidistribution…
We give several new moduli interpretations of the fibers of certain Shimura varieties over several prime numbers. As a consequence (of our theorem 9.1) one obtains that for every prescribed odd prime characteristic $p$ every bounded…
We establish results of Bombieri-Vinogradov type for the von Mangoldt function $\Lambda(n)$ twisted by a nilsequence. In particular, we obtain Bombieri-Vinogradov type results for the von Mangoldt function twisted by any polynomial phase…
In this paper, we establish a theorem of Bombieri -- Vinogradov type for exponential sums over Piatetski-Shapiro primes $p= [n^{1/\gamma}]$ with $\frac{865}{886}<\gamma < 1$.
A new and exciting breakthrough due to Maynard establishes that there exist infinitely many pairs of distinct primes $p_1,p_2$ with $|p_1-p_2|\leq 600$ as a consequence of the Bombieri-Vinogradov Theorem. In this paper, we apply his general…
We prove non-trivial bounds for bilinear forms with hyper-Kloosterman sums with characters modulo a prime $q$ which, for both variables of length $M$, are non-trivial as soon as $M\geq q^{3/8+\delta}$ for any $\delta>0$. This range, which…
If $a$ and $b$ are integers with $b>a>1$, we completely characterize ``long'' arithmetic progressions in the sumsets of the geometric progressions $1, a, a^2, a^3, \ldots$ and $1, b, b^2, b^3, \ldots$. Our proofs utilize recent applications…
We show that for any $\varepsilon > 0$, prime $q$ sufficiently large with respect to $1 / \varepsilon$ and residue class $(a,q) = 1$, there exist two integers $m, n \leq q^{5/2 + \varepsilon}$ with $m \equiv n \equiv a \pmod{q}$ such that…
Inspired by the work of Bourgain and Garaev (2013), we provide new bounds for certain weighted bilinear Kloosterman sums in polynomial rings over a finite field. As an application, we build upon and extend some results of Sawin and…
Let $\theta > 11/20$. We prove that every sufficiently large odd integer $n$ can be written as a sum of three primes $n = p_1 + p_2 + p_3$ with $|p_i - n/3| \leq n^{\theta}$ for $i\in\{1,2,3\}$.
We prove Bombieri--Vinogradov and Barban--Davenport--Halberstam type theorems for the y-smooth numbers less than x, on the range log^{K}x \leq y \leq x. This improves on the range \exp{log^{2/3 + \epsilon}x} \leq y \leq x that was…
We apply a variant of the multigrade efficient congruencing method to estimate Vinogradov's integral of degree $3$ for moments of order $2s$, establishing strongly diagonal behaviour for $1\le s\le 6$. Consequently, the main conjecture is…
We show that there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that $p-1$ is divisible by a square $d^2 \geq p^\theta$ for $\theta=1/2+1/2000.$ This improves the work of Matom\"aki (2009) who obtained the result for $\theta=1/2-\varepsilon$ (with…
The classical Brun--Titchmarsh theorem gives an upper bound, which is of correct order of magnitude in the full range, for the number of primes $p\leqslant x$ satisfying $p\equiv a\bmod q$. We strengthen this inequality for different ranges…
We consider Mertens' function M(x,q,a) in arithmetic progression, Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis (GRH), we show an upper bound that is uniform for all moduli which are not too large. For the proof, a former method of K.…
For a fixed number field $K$, we consider the mean square error in estimating the number of primes with norm congruent to $a$ modulo $q$ by the Chebotar\"ev Density Theorem when averaging over all $q\le Q$ and all appropriate $a$. Using a…
