We prove a sequence of limiting results about weakly dependent stationary and regularly varying stochastic processes in discrete time. After deducing the limiting distribution for individual clusters of extremes, we present a new type of…
We estimate asymptotically the fourth moment of the Riemann zeta-function twisted by a Dirichlet polynomial of length $T^{\frac14 - \varepsilon}$. Our work relies crucially on Watt's theorem on averages of Kloosterman fractions. In the…
We consider certain finite sets of circle-valued functions defined on intervals of real numbers and estimate how large the intervals must be for the values of these functions to be uniformly distributed in an approximate way. This is used…
This is the first of two coupled papers estimating the mean values of multiplicative functions, of unknown support, on arithmetic progressions with large differences. Applications are made to the study of primes in arithmetic progression…
We give lower bounds for the small moments of the sum of a random multiplicative function, which improve on some results of Bondarenko and Seip and constitute further progress towards (dis)proving a conjecture of Helson. We also prove…
Let $A_f(1,n)$ be the normalized Fourier coefficients of a $GL(3)$ Maass cusp form $f$ and let $a_g(n)$ be the normalized Fourier coefficients of a $GL(2)$ cusp form $g$. Let $\lambda(n)$ be either $A_f(1,n)$ or the triple divisor function…
We compute some dependence coefficients for the stationary Markov chain whose transition kernel is the Perron-Frobenius operator of an expanding map $T$ of $[0, 1]$ with a neutral fixed point. We use these coefficients to prove a central…
We give asymptotic estimates for the number of non-overlapping homothetic copies of some centrally symmetric oval $B$ which have a common point with a 2-dimensional domain $F$ having rectifiable boundary, extending previous work of the…
We study the triple convolution sum of the generalised divisor functions $$\sum_{n\leq x} d_k(n+h)d_l(n)d_m(n-h),$$ where $h \le x^{1-\epsilon}$ for any $\epsilon>0$ and $d_k(n)$ denotes the generalised divisor function which counts the…
As early as the 1930s, P\'al Erd\H{o}s conjectured that: {\em for any multiplicative function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\{-1,1\}$, the partial sums $\sum_{n\leq x}f(n)$ are unbounded.} Considering this conjecture, in this paper we consider…
We consider the variance of sums of arithmetic functions over random short intervals in the function field setting. Based on the analogy between factorizations of random elements of $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ into primes and the factorizations of…
Let $V(x)$ be the number of sign changes of the partial sums up to $x$, say $M_f(x)$, of a Rademacher random multiplicative function $f$. We prove that the averaged value of $V(x)$ is at least $\gg (\log x)(\log\log x)^{-1/2-\epsilon}$. Our…
We construct a generalization of the multiplicative product of distributions presented by L. H\"ormander in [L. H\"ormander, {\it The analysis of linear partial differential operators I} (Springer-Verlag, 1983)]. The new product is defined…
In this paper we give a short interval version of the Balog-Ruzsa theorem concerning bounds for the $L_1$ norm of the exponential sum over $r$-free numbers. As an application, we give a lower bound for the $L_1$ norm of the exponential sum…
We establish asymptotic formulas for sums of reciprocals of primes in arithmetic progressions, generalizing recent results on multiple Mertens evaluations by Tenenbaum, Qi, and Hu. Specifically, for any fixed constant $K>0$, we derive…
We prove a uniform estimate for sums of Hecke--Maass eigenvalues squared over primes in short intervals that can be regarded as an analogue of Hoheisel's classical prime number theorem for all real analytic cusp forms. Our argument is…
We prove averaging theorems for ordinary differential equations and retarded functional differential equations. Our assumptions are weaker than those required in the results of the existing literature. Usually, we require that the…
We provide a theoretical foundation for non-parametric estimation of functions of random variables using kernel mean embeddings. We show that for any continuous function $f$, consistent estimators of the mean embedding of a random variable…
Let $\pi$ be a cuspidal automorphic representation of a general linear group over the rational numbers. We establish a subconvex bound for the standard $L$-function of $\pi$ in the $t$-aspect. More generally, we address the spectral aspect…
We show that if an essentially arbitrary sequence supported on an interval containing $x$ integers, is convolved with a tiny Siegel-Walfisz-type sequence supported on an interval containing $\exp((\log x)^{\varepsilon})$ integers then the…
