This is an expository paper aiming to introduce Zilber's Exponential Closedness conjecture to a general audience. Exponential Closedness predicts when (systems of) equations involving addition, multiplication, and exponentiation have…
Two conjectures, posed by Finch-Smith, Harrington, and Wong in a paper published in Integers in $2023$, are proven. Given a monic biquadratic polynomial $f(x) = x^4 + cx^2 + e$, we prove a formula for the sum of its distinct outputs modulo…
In this note, we propose simple summations for primes, which involve two finite nested sums and Bernoulli numbers. The summations can also be expressed in terms of Bernoulli polynomials.
We obtain upper bounds for the number of monic irreducible polynomials over $\mathbb Z$ of a fixed degree $n$ and a growing height $H$ for which the field generated by one of its roots has a given discriminant. We approach it via counting…
In this paper, we prove new upper bounds for sums of reciprocals of fractional parts over general aligned boxes, thus extending a previous result of the author concerning bounds for sums of reciprocals over symmetric boxes. These new upper…
In this paper, we investigate the distribution of the maximum of partial sums of certain cubic exponential sums, commonly known as "Birch sums". Our main theorem gives upper and lower bounds (of nearly the same order of magnitude) for the…
We give exponential upper bounds for $P(S \le k)$, in particular $P(S=0)$, where $S$ is a sum of indicator random variables that are positively associated. These bounds allow, in particular, a comparison with the independent case. We give…
Upper bounds on the maximum number of codewords in a binary code of a given length and minimum Hamming distance are considered. New bounds are derived by a combination of linear programming and counting arguments. Some of these bounds…
We obtain an upper bound for the multiplicative energy of the spectrum of an arbitrary set from $\mathbb{F}_p$, which is the best possible up to the results on exponential sums over subgroups.
Several properties of stationary subdivision schemes are nowadays well understood. In particular, it is known that the polynomial generation and reproduction capability of a stationary subdivision scheme is strongly connected with sum…
A general method to express in terms of Gauss sums the number of rational points of subschemes of projective schemes over finite fields is applied to the image of the triple embedding $\mathbb{P}^1\hookrightarrow\mathbb{P}^3$. As a…
We consider upper exponential bounds for the probability of the event that an absolute deviation of sample mean from mathematical expectation p is bigger comparing with some ordered level epsilon. These bounds include 2 coefficients {alpha,…
In this note we consider algebraic exponential sums over the values of homogeneous nonsingular polynomials $F(x_1, \cdots, x_n) \in \mathbb{Z}[x_1, \cdots, x_n]$ in the quotient ring $\mathbb{Z}/p^2\mathbb{Z}$. We provide an estimate of…
Consider a sparse polynomial in several variables given explicitly as a sum of non-zero terms with coefficients in an effective field. In this paper, we present several algorithms for factoring such polynomials and related tasks (such as…
We give a formula and an estimation for the number of irreducible polynomials in two (or more) variables over a finite field.
We use recent bounds on bilinear sums with modular square roots to study the distribution of solutions to congruences $x^2 \equiv p \pmod q$ with primes $p\le P$ and integers $q \le Q$. This can be considered as a combined scenario of Duke,…
We give two applications of our earlier work "Exponential sums on A^n, II" (math.AG/9909009). We compute the p-adic cohomology of certain exponential sums on A^n involving a polynomial whose homogeneous component of highest degree defines a…
Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be sets of polynomials of degree $n$ over a finite field. We show, that if $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ are large enough, then $A+B$ has an irreducible divisor of large degree for some…
Let $\F_q$ be a finite field of order $q$ and $P$ be a polynomial in $\F_q[x_1, x_2]$. For a set $A \subset \F_q$, define $P(A):=\{P(x_1, x_2) | x_i \in A \}$. Using certain constructions of expanders, we characterize all polynomials $P$…
We use some properties of orthogonal polynomials to provide a class of upper/lower variance bounds for a function $g(X)$ of an absolutely continuous random variable $X$, in terms of the derivatives of $g$ up to some order. The new bounds…
