Network datasets typically exhibit certain types of statistical dependencies, such as within-dyad correlation, row and column heterogeneity, and third-order dependence patterns such as transitivity and clustering. The first two of these can…
Using a structure theorem from [FG2010] we prove a version of multiple recurrence for sets of positive measure in a general stationary dynamical system.
We investigate a generalized stochastic model with the property known as mean reversion, that is, the tendency to relax towards a historical reference level. Besides this property, the dynamics is driven by multiplicative and additive…
Two types of recurrence sets are introduced for inverse semigroup partial actions in topological spaces. We explore their connections with similar notions for related types of imperfect symmetries (prefix inverse semigroup expansions,…
The set A = {a_n} of nonnegative integers is an asymptotic basis of order h if every sufficiently large integer can be represented as the sum of h elements of A. If a_n ~ alpha n^h for some real number alpha > 0, then alpha is called an…
The paper considers asymptotics of summation functions of additive and multiplicative arithmetic functions. We also study asymptotics of summation functions of natural and prime arguments. Several assertions on this subject are proved and…
We study the structure of multiple correlation sequences defined by measure preserving actions of commuting transformations. When the iterates of the transformations are integer polynomials we prove that any such correlation sequence is the…
We identify pairs of positive integers $(t, d)$ with the property that the integer sequence with general term $\lfloor{n^t/d\rfloor}$ contains at most finitely many primes.
We describe algebraic certificates of positivity for functions belonging to a finitely generated algebra of Borel measurable functions, with particular emphasis to algebras generated by semi-algebraic functions. In which case the standard…
Let $f$ be a multiplicative function which satisfies \[ f(a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2) = f(a^2+b^2)+f(c^2+d^2) \] for positive integers $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$. We show that $f$ is the identity function provided that $f(3)\,f(11) \ne 0$. Otherwise,…
We construct a new family of graded representations $\widetilde{W}_{\lambda}$ for the positive elliptic Hall algebra $\mathcal{E}^{+}$ indexed by Young diagrams $\lambda$ which generalize the standard $\mathcal{E}^{+}$ action on symmetric…
We consider numbers formed by concatenating some of the base b digits from additive functions f(n) that closely resemble the prime counting function \Omega(n). If we concatenate the last \lceil y \frac{\log \log \log n}{\log b} \rceil…
We introduce a general class $F_0$ of additive functions $f$ such that $f(p) = 1$ and prove a tight bound for exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n \le x} f(n) e(\alpha n)$ where $f \in F_0$ and $e(\theta) = \exp(2\pi i \theta)$. Both…
These notes are based on a course for a general audience given at the Centro de Modeliamento Matem\'atico of the University of Chile, in December 2004. We study the mean convergence of multiple ergodic averages, that is, averages of a…
This paper considers MEP - Mixed Exponential Polynomials as one class of real exponential polynomials. We introduce a method for proving the positivity of MEP inequalities over positive intervals using the Maclaurin series to approximate…
A celebrated result by Bourgain and Wierdl states that ergodic averages along primes converge almost everywhere for $L^p$-functions, $p>1$, with a polynomial version by Wierdl and Nair. Using an anti-correlation result for the von Mangoldt…
Recurrences of the form \begin{equation*} T(n,k) = (\alpha n+\beta k +\gamma) \ T(n-1,k) + (\alpha'n+\beta'k+\gamma')\ T(n-1,k-1)+\delta_{n,0}\delta_{k,0}. \end{equation*} show up as the recurrence for many well-studied combinatorial…
This survey paper discusses behaviour of higher-order correlations for one-parameter dynamical systems and more generally for dynamical systems arising from group actions. In particular, we present a self-contained proof of quantitative…
In this article, we investigate conditional large values of quadratic Dirichlet character sums with multiplicative coefficients. We prove some Omega results under the assumption of the generalized Riemann hypothesis.
We consider the use of Goldbach numbers as random sequences. The randomness is analyzed in terms of the autocorrelation function of the sequence of number of partitions. The distinct representations of an even number n as the sum of two…
