To a finite quadratic module, that is, a finite abelian group D together with a non-singular quadratic form Q:D --> Q/Z, it is possible to associate a representation of either the modular group, SL(2,Z), or its metaplectic cover, Mp(2,Z),…

We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of representations of squares by nonsingular cubic forms in six or more variables. The main ingredients of the proof are Heath-Brown's form of the Circle Method and various exponential sum…

Let $k\ge 1$ be an integer. We prove that a suitable asymptotic formula for the average number of representations of integers $n=p_{1}^{k}+p_{2}^{2}+p_{3}^{2}$, where $p_1,p_2,p_3$ are prime numbers, holds in intervals shorter than the ones…

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…

It is classically known that the circle method produces an asymptotic for the number of representations of a tuple of integers $(n_1,\ldots,n_R)$ by a system of quadratic forms $Q_1,\ldots, Q_R$ in $k$ variables, as long as $k$ is…

We give formulas for the number of representations of non negative integers by various quadratic forms. We also give evaluations in the case of sum of two cubes (cubic case) and the quintic case, as well. We introduce a class of generalized…

Let Q be a non-singular quadratic form with integer coefficients. When Q is indefinite we provide new upper bounds for the least non-trivial integral solution to the equation Q=0. When Q is positive definite we provide improved upper bounds…

In this paper, we develop a method of evaluating general exponential sums with rational amplitude functions for multiple variables which complements works by T. Cochrane and Z. Zheng on the single variable case. As an application, for…

The Weil representation of the symplectic group associated to a finite abelian group of odd order is shown to have a multiplicity-free decomposition. When the abelian group is p-primary, the irreducible representations occurring in the Weil…

We provide explicit formulas for quadratic Gauss sums over $\mathbb{Z}^n/c\mathbb{Z}^n$, which generalize some of the existing formulas, e.g., Skoruppa and Zagier's (for $n=2$), and Iwaniec and Kowalski's (for arbitrary $n$). We then give…

Here we show that the Weil abscissa of the procyclic groups $\prod_{p \in S} \mathbb{Z}_p$ equals $2$ for three sets $S$: (i) the set of primes $p \equiv 1 \bmod 3$, (ii) the set of primes $p \equiv 1 \bmod 4$ and (iii) the set of primes $p…

In this paper we use the theory of modular forms to find formulas for the number of representations of a positive integer by certain class of quadratic forms in eight variables, viz., forms of the form $a_1x_1^2 + a_2 x_2^2 + a_3 x_3^2 +…

Let $X$ be a normal algebraic variety over a finitely generated field $k$ of characteristic zero, and let $\ell$ be a prime. Say that a continuous $\ell$-adic representation $\rho$ of $\pi_1^{\text{\'et}}(X_{\bar k})$ is arithmetic if there…

We construct explicit local systems on the affine line in characteristic $p>2$, whose geometric monodromy groups are the finite symplectic groups $Sp_{2n}(q)$ for all $n \ge 2$, and others whose geometric monodromy groups are the special…

Let $K$ be a locally compact non-discrete field of characteristic $p>2$ and $Q$ be a non-degenerate isotropic binary quadratic form with coefficients in $K$. We obtain asymptotic estimates for the number of solutions in the two-fold product…

Let $f(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$ be a regular indefinite integral quadratic form with $n\ge 9$, and let $t$ be an integer. It is established that $f(x_1,\ldots,x_n)=t$ has solutions in prime variables if there are no local obstructions.

We prove some improvements of the classical Weil bound for one variable additive and multiplicative character sums associated to a polynomial over a finite field $k=\Fq$ for two classes of polynomials which are invariant under a large…

We obtain an upper bound for the distribution of primes in the form $n^4 + k$ up to $x$, averaged over $k$ with small square-full part. As a corollary, we show that for almost all $k$, there is an expected amount of primes in the form $n^4…

It is shown that, under some mild technical conditions, representations of prime numbers by binary quadratic forms can be computed in polynomial complexity by exploiting Schoof's algorithm, which counts the number of $\mathbb F_q$-points of…
