We present a fast algorithm for modular exponentiation when the factorization of the modulus is known. Let $a,n,m$ be positive integers and suppose $m$ factors canonically as $\prod_{i=1}^k p_i^{e_i}$. Choose integer parameters $t_i\in [1,…

Given a sequence of $n$ identically distributed random variables with common distribution $F$, the \emph{fragility distribution of order $m$}, represented by $\FD$, is the limit conditional distribution of the number of exceedances given…

We consider the periods of the linear congruential and the power generators modulo $n$ and, for fixed choices of initial parameters, give lower bounds that hold for ``most'' $n$ when $n$ ranges over three different sets: the set of primes,…

We investigate the distribution of $\alpha p$ modulo one in imaginary quadratic number fields $\mathbb{K}\subset\mathbb{C}$ with class number one, where $p$ is restricted to prime elements in the ring of integers $\mathcal{O} =…

We study number theoretic properties of the map $x \mapsto x^{x} \mod{p}$, where $x \in \{1,2,\ldots,p-1\}$, and improve on some recent upper bounds, due to Kurlberg, Luca, and Shparlinski, on the number of primes $p < N$ for which the map…

Given disjoint subsets $T_1,\ldots,T_m$ of "not too large" primes up to $x$, we establish that for a random integer $n$ drawn from $[1,x]$, the $m$-dimensional vector enumerating the number of prime factors of $n$ from $T_1,\ldots,T_m$…

We estimate the number $|\mathcal{A}_{\boldsymbol\lambda}|$ of elements on a nonlinear family $\mathcal{A}$ of monic polynomials of $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ of degree $r$ having factorization pattern…

For a polynomial $F(t,A_1,\ldots,A_n)\in\mathbf{F}_p[t,A_1,\ldots,A_n]$ ($p$ being a prime number) we study the factorization statistics of its specializations $$F(t,a_1,\ldots,a_n)\in\mathbf{F}_p[t]$$ with $(a_1,\ldots,a_n)\in S$, where…

In this paper we consider the normalized lengths of the factors of some factorizations of random words. First, for the \emph{Lyndon factorization} of finite random words with $n$ independent letters drawn from a finite or infinite totally…

We show that the sequence of integers which have nearly the typical number of distinct prime factors forms a Poisson process. More precisely, for $\de$ arbitrarily small and positive, the nearest neighbor spacings between integers $n$ with…

This note focuses on the properties of two blocks of elements of the probability mass function (pmf) of the Poisson distribution of order $k\ge2$. The first block is the elements for $n\in[1,k]$ and the second block is the elements for…

We study sums of a random multiplicative function; this is an example, of number-theoretic interest, of sums of products of independent random variables (chaoses). Using martingale methods, we establish a normal approximation for the sum…

We establish mean convergence for multiple ergodic averages with iterates given by distinct fractional powers of primes and related multiple recurrence results. A consequence of our main result is that every set of integers with positive…

For each $\alpha \in (0, 1)$, we construct a bounded monotone deterministic sequence $(c_k)_{k \geq 0}$ of real numbers so that the number of real roots of the random polynomial $f_n(z) = \sum_{k=0}^n c_k \varepsilon_k z^k$ is $n^{\alpha +…

In this article, we study the Euler's factorial series $F_p(t)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty n!t^n$ in $p$-adic domain under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. First, we show that if we consider primes in $k\varphi(m)/(k+1)$ residue classes in the…

We examine a generalization of the binomial distribution associated with a strictly increasing sequence of numbers and we prove its Poisson-like limit. Such generalizations might be found in quantum optics with imperfect detection. We…

We investigate the distribution of $\alpha p$ modulo one in quadratic number fields $\mathbb{K}$ with class number one, where $p$ is restricted to prime elements in the ring of integers of $\mathbb{K}$. Here we improve the relevant exponent…

Assuming a uniform $q$-variant of the prime $k$-tuple conjecture, we compute moments of the number of primes in arithmetic progressions to a large modulus $q$ as the residue classes vary. Consequently, depending on the size of $\varphi(q)$,…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over rational field $\mathbb{Q}$ and $N$ be a positive integer. Now, $M_E(N)$ denotes the number of primes $p$, such that the group $E_p(\mathbb{F}_p)$ is of order $N$. We show that $M_E(N)$ follows…

We generalise the known fact that for binomial $X_{n,k} \sim \mathrm{Bin}(n, k/n)$ one has $\inf_{k>1,n} \mathrm{P}(X_{n,k} \geq k) \geq \lim_{k \to 1+}\mathrm{P}(X_{2,k} \geq k) = 1/4$ to cover probabilities of exceeding a constant shift…
