Let $X \subset \mathbf{P}_{\mathbf{Q}}^{n-1}$ be a cubic hypersurface cut out by the vanishing of a non-degenerate rational cubic form in $n$ variables. Let $N(X,B)$ denote the number of rational points on $X$ of height at most $B$. In this…
Let $\mu_1, \ldots, \mu_s$ be real numbers, with $\mu_1$ irrational. We investigate sums of shifted cubes $F(x_1,\ldots,x_s) = (x_1 - \mu_1)^3 + \ldots + (x_s - \mu_s)^3$. We show that if $\eta$ is real, $\tau >0$ is sufficiently large, and…
We propose an expression for the classical limit of diagonal form factors in which we integrate the corresponding observable over the moduli space of classical solutions. In infinite volume the integral has to be regularized by proper…
Let $\mathcal{A}(n)$ be the $(1,n)-th$ Fourier coefficients of $SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$ Hecke-Maass cusp form i.e. $\Lambda(1,n)$ or the triple divisor function $d_3(n)$, which is the number of solutions of the equation $r_1r_2r_3 = n$ with $r_1,…
We determine the spectra of cubic plane graphs whose faces have sizes 3 and 6. Such graphs, "(3,6)-fullerenes", have been studied by chemists who are interested in their energy spectra. In particular we prove a conjecture of Fowler, which…
We consider discrete nonlinear hyperbolic equations on quad-graphs, in particular on the square lattice. The fields are associated to the vertices and an equation Q(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4)=0 relates four fields at one quad. Integrability of…
We develop a heuristic for the density of integer points on affine cubic surfaces. Our heuristic applies to smooth surfaces defined by cubic polynomials that are log K3, but it can also be adjusted to handle singular cubic surfaces. We…
Let $q$ be a large prime, and $\chi$ the quadratic character modulo $q$. Let $\phi$ be a self-dual Hecke--Maass cusp form for $SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$, and $u_j$ a Hecke--Maass cusp form for $\Gamma_0(q)\subseteq SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ with spectral…
It is proved that \[ \sum_{\chi \bmod q}N(\sigma , T, \chi) \lesssim_{\epsilon} (qT)^{7(1-\sigma)/3+\epsilon}, \] where $N(\sigma, T, \chi)$ denote the number of zeros $\rho = \beta + it$ of $L(s, \chi)$ in the rectangle $\sigma \leq \beta…
Linear upper bounds are provided for the size of the torsion homology of negatively curved manifolds of finite volume in all dimensions $d\ne 3$. This extends a classical theorem by Gromov. In dimension $3$, as opposed to the Betti numbers,…
We prove that for any semi-Dirichlet form $(\epsilon, D(\epsilon))$ on a measurable Lusin space $E$ there exists a Lusin topology with the given $\sigma$-algebra as the Borel $\sigma$-algebra so that $(\epsilon, D(\epsilon))$ becomes…
Consider the discrete cubic Hilbert transform defined on finitely supported functions $f$ on $\mathbb{Z}$ by \begin{eqnarray*} H_3f(n) = \sum_{m \not = 0} \frac{f(n- m^3)}{m}. \end{eqnarray*} We prove that there exists $r <2$ and universal…
We introduce a variant of the large sieve and give an example of its use in a sieving problem. Take the interval [N] = {1,...,N} and, for each odd prime p <= N^{1/2}, remove or ``sieve out'' by all n whose reduction mod p lies in some…
Let $a,b>0$ be coprime integers. Assuming a conjecture on Hecke eigenvalues along binary cubic forms, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of primes of the form $ax^2+by^3$ with $x \leq X^{1/2}$ and $y \leq X^{1/3}$. The proof…
We consider a system of $R$ cubic forms in $n$ variables, with integer coefficients, which define a smooth complete intersection in projective space. Provided $n\geq 25R$, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of integer points in…
A perfect cuboid is a rectangular parallelepiped with integer edges, integer face diagonals, and integer space diagonal. Such cuboids have not yet been found, but nor has their existence been disproved. Perfect cuboids are described by a…
It is shown, subject to the abc-conjecture, that \[\sum_{n\le N}\exp(2\pi i\alpha n^3)\ll_{\epsilon,\alpha}N^{5/7+\epsilon}\] for any $\epsilon>0$ and any quadratic irrational $\alpha$.
This paper helps to clarify the status of cylindrical contact homology, a conjectured contact invariant introduced by Eliashberg, Givental, and Hofer in 2000. We explain how heuristic arguments fail to yield a well-defined homological…
In this work we prove a prime number type theorem involving the normalised Fourier coefficients of holomorphic and Maass cusp forms, using the classical circle method. A key point is in a recent paper of Fouvry and Ganguly, based on…
In this paper, we focus on the strong subconvexity bounds for triple product L-functions in the cubic level aspect. Our proof on the Weyl-type bound synthesizes techniques from classical analytic number theory with methods in automorphic…
