Let $B$ be the set of odd integers that are sums of two coprime squares. We prove that the trigonometric polynomial $S(\alpha;N)=\sum_{b\in B,b\leq N} e(b\alpha)$ satisfies \[ \frac{S(\alpha; N)}{N/\sqrt{\log N}}<<_{A,A'} \frac{1}{\phi(q)}…

In math.NT/0307308 we defined the irrationality base of an irrational number and, assuming a stronger hypothesis than the irrationality of Euler's constant, gave a conditional upper bound on its irrationality base. Here we develop the…

The starting point of this work is an equality between two quantities $A$ and $B$ found in the literature, which involve the {\em doubling-modulo-an-odd-integer} map, i.e., $x\in {\mathbb N} \mapsto 2x \bmod{(2n+1)}$ for some positive…

We show that for any irrational $\alpha$ and any $\tau<8/23$ there are infinitely many $n$ which are the product of two primes for which $$\|n\alpha\|\leq n^{-\tau}.$$ We also show that for all sufficiently large $b$ there exist 3-digit…

Let $q=2^n$, $0\leq k\leq n-1$, $n/\gcd(n,k)$ be odd and $k\neq n/3, 2n/3$. In this paper the value distribution of following exponential sums \[\sum\limits_{x\in \bF_q}(-1)^{\mathrm{Tr}_1^n(\alpha x^{2^{2k}+1}+\beta x^{2^k+1}+\ga…

An element $\alpha \in \mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ is normal over $\mathbb{F}_q$ if $\mathcal{B}=\{\alpha, \alpha^q, \alpha^{q^2}, \cdots, \alpha^{q^{n-1}}\}$ forms a basis of $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ as a vector space over $\mathbb{F}_q$. It is well known…

A well known theorem of Lagrange states that the simple continued fraction of a real number $\alpha$ is periodic if and only if $\alpha$ is a quadratic irrational. We examine non-periodic and non-simple continued fractions formed by two…

The \emph{normal rank} of a group is the minimal number of elements whose normal closure coincides with the group. We study the relation between the normal rank of a group and its first $\ell^2$-Betti number and conjecture that inequality…

For every countable ordinal number $\alpha$ we construct an entire function $f=f_\alpha$ such that the family $\left\{f(nz):n\in\mathbb{N}\right\}$ is exactly $Q_\alpha$-normal in the unit disk.

It is a well known result that for $\beta\in(1,\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2})$ and $x\in(0,\frac{1}{\beta-1})$ there exists uncountably many $(\epsilon_{i})_{i=1}^{\infty}\in {0,1}^{\mathbb{N}}$ such that…

We prove that if D is a domain in C, alpha>1 and c>0, then the family F of functions meromorphic in D such that |f'(z)|/(1+|f(z)|^alpha)>c for every z in D is normalin D. For alpha=1, the same assumptions imply quasi-normality but not…

We define an extension of parity from the integers to the rational numbers. Three parity classes are found -- even, odd and `none'. Using the 2-adic valuation, we partition the rationals into subgroups with a rich algebraic structure. The…

In this paper we study the average $\NL_{2\alpha}$-norm over $T$-polynomials, where $\alpha$ is a positive integer. More precisely, we present an explicit formula for the average $\NL_{2\alpha}$-norm over all the polynomials of degree…

Every natural number greater than two may be written as the sum of a prime and a square-free number. We establish several generalisations of this, by placing divisibility conditions on the square-free number.

We continue to study the distribution of prime numbers $p$, satisfying the condition $\{ p^{\alpha} \} \in I \subset [0; 1)$, in arithmetic progressions. In the paper, we prove an analogue of Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem for $0 < \alpha <…

In this article, we propose a variant of the usual Ostrowski $\alpha$-numeration (where $\alpha$ is a real in [0, 1[) that codes integers (positive as well as negative) and reals of [0, 1[ (instead of [--$\alpha$, 1--$\alpha$[), so that for…

We show that the modalized Heyting calculus~\cite{esa06} admits a normal axiomatization. Then we prove that in this calculus the inference rule $\square\alpha/\alpha$ is admissible (Proposition 5.6), but the rule…

This paper examines with elementary proofs some interesting properties of numbers in the binary quadratic form $a^2+ab+b^2$, where $a$ and $b$ are non-negative integers. Key findings of this paper are (i) a prime number $p$ can be…

Let $[\, x\,]$ denote the integer part of a real number $x$. Assume that $\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\lambda_3$ are nonzero real numbers, not all of the same sign, that $\lambda_1/\lambda_2$ is irrational, and that $\eta$ is real. Let…

We prove that there is at least one irrationnal among the nine numbers zeta(5), zeta(7),..., zeta(21).
