We study an apparently new question about the behaviour of Weyl sums on a subset $\mathcal{X}\subseteq [0,1)^d$ with a natural measure $\mu$ on $\mathcal{X}$. For certain measure spaces $(\mathcal{X}, \mu)$ we obtain non-trivial bounds for…

We augment the method of Wooley (2015) by some new ideas and in a series of results, improve his metric bounds on the Weyl sums and the discrepancy of fractional parts of real polynomials with partially prescribed coefficients. We also…

We obtain sharp estimates for multidimensional generalisations of Vinogradov's mean value theorem for arbitrary translation-dilation invariant systems, achieving constraints on the number of variables approaching those conjectured to be the…

In this paper we generalize a result of Montgomery and Vaughan regarding exponential sums with multiplicative coefcients to the setting of Weyl sums. As applications, we establish a joint equidistribution result for roots of polynomial…

We prove an effective equidistribution result for a class of higher step nilflows, called filiform nilflows, and derive bounds on Weyl sums for higher degree polynomials with a power saving comparable to the best known, derived by J.…

We obtain new estimates - both upper and lower bounds - on the mean values of the Weyl sums over a small box inside of the unit torus. In particular, we refine recent conjectures of C. Demeter and B. Langowski (2022), and improve some of…

We use decoupling theory to estimate the number of solutions for quadratic and cubic Parsell--Vinogradov systems in two dimensions.

The main results extend to sums over primes in a short interval earlier estimates by the author for "long" Weyl sums over primes.

Finite-state dimension, introduced early in this century as a finite-state version of classical Hausdorff dimension, is a quantitative measure of the lower asymptotic density of information in an infinite sequence over a finite alphabet, as…

We obtain finite field analogues of a series of recent results on various mean value theorems for Weyl sums. Instead of the Vinogradov Mean Value Theorem, our results rest on the classical argument of Mordell, combined with several other…

In this note, an upper bound for the sum of fractional parts of certain smooth functions is established. Such sums arise naturally in numerous problems of analytic number theory. The main feature is here an improvement of the main term due…

We obtain the exact value of the Hausdorff dimension of the set of coefficients of Gauss sums which for a given $\alpha \in (1/2,1)$ achieve the order at least $N^{\alpha}$ for infinitely many sum lengths $N$. For Weyl sums with polynomials…

We present a hybrid approach to bounding exponential sums over kth powers via Vinogradov's mean value theorem, and derive estimates of utility for exponents k of intermediate size.

In this paper, we obtain the maximal estimate for the Weyl sums on the torus $\mathbb{T}^d$ with $d\geq 2$, which is sharp up to the endpoint. We also consider two variants of this problem which include the maximal estimate along the…

We obtain an estimate for the cubic Weyl sum which improves the bound obtained from Weyl differencing for short ranges of summation. In particular, we show that for any $\varepsilon>0$ there exists some $\delta>0$ such that for any coprime…

A special case of the Menshov--Rademacher theorem implies for almost all polynomials $x_1Z+\ldots +x_d Z^{d} \in {\mathbb R}[Z]$ of degree $d$ for the Weyl sums satisfy the upper bound $$ \left| \sum_{n=1}^{N}\exp\left(2\pi i \left(x_1…

We use decoupling theory to prove a sharp (up to $N^\epsilon$ losses) estimate for Vinogradov's mean value theorem in two dimensions

We obtain a new bound on Weyl sums with degree $k\ge 2$ polynomials of the form $(\tau x+c) \omega(n)+xn$, $n=1, 2, \ldots$, with fixed $\omega(T) \in \mathbb{Z}[T]$ and $\tau \in \mathbb{R}$, which holds for almost all $c\in [0,1)$ and all…

We establish that three well-known and rather different looking conjectures about Dirichlet characters and their (weighted) sums, (concerning the P\'{o}lya-Vinogradov theorem for maximal character sums, the maximal admissible range in…

This is the expository essay that accompanies my Bourbaki Seminar on 17 June 2017 on the landmark proof of the Vinogradov Mean Value Theorem, and the two approaches developed in the work of Wooley and of Bourgain, Demeter and Guth.
