We prove higher rank analogues of the Razumov--Stroganov sum rule for the groundstate of the O(1) loop model on a semi-infinite cylinder: we show that a weighted sum of components of the groundstate of the A_{k-1} IRF model yields integers…

We obtain new results on additive properties of the set $$ I^{-1}= \{x^{-1}: \quad x\in I\} $$ where $I$ is an arbitrary interval in the field of residue classes modulo a large prime $p$. We combine our results with multilinear exponential…

In 2000, Vu proved that the number of solutions of $x_1^k + \cdots + x_s^k = N$ in an arbitrary box satisfies the expected Hardy--Littlewood upper bound with a power-saving error term, for $s \geq O(8^k k^3)$. We show that one may take…

The main goal of this article is to study the existence of a unique positive definite common solution to a pair of matrix equations of the form \begin{eqnarray*} X^r=Q_1 + \displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{m} {A_i}^*F(X)A_i \mbox{ and } X^s=Q_2 +…

In this article we extend independent results of Lusztig and H\'ezard concerning the existence of irreducible characters of finite reductive groups, (defined in good characteristic and arising from simple algebraic groups), satisfying a…

In this paper, we study the sum of additive characters over finite fields, with a focus on those of specified \(\mathbb{F}_q\)-Order. We establish a general formula for these character sums, providing an additive analogue to classical…

Let $t:\mathbb{F}_{p}\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$ be a complex valued function on $\mathbb{F}_{p}$. A classical problem in analytic number theory is to bound the maximum of the absolute value of the incomplete sum \[ M(t):=\max_{0\leq…

We obtain a tight, up to a logarithmic factor, upper bound on the number of solutions to the equation $$ \sum_{j=1}^n a_j \frac{s_j}{r_j} =a_0, \qquad $$ with variables $r_1,...,r_n$ in an arbitrary box at the origin and variables $s_1,...,…

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…

Let $f(z) = \sum A(n) n^{(k-1)/2} e(nz)$ be a cusp form of weight $k \geq 3$ on $\Gamma_0(N)$ with character $\chi$. By studying a certain shifted convolution sum, we prove that $\sum_{n \leq X} A(n^2+h) = c_{f,h} X +…

In this paper, we are concerned with the multiplicity of nontrivial solutions for the following class of complex problems $$ (-i\nabla - A(\mu x))^{2}u= \mu |u|^{q-2}u + |u|^{2^{*}-2}u \ \mbox{in} \ \Omega, \ \ \ \ u \in…

We prove lower bounds of order $n\log n$ for both the problem to multiply polynomials of degree $n$, and to divide polynomials with remainder, in the model of bounded coefficient arithmetic circuits over the complex numbers. These lower…

In this paper we investigate some new problems in additive combinatorics. Our problems mainly involve permutations (or circular permutations) $n$ distinct numbers (or elements of an additive abelian group) $a_1,\ldots,a_n$ with adjacent…

We study the existence of radially symmetric solutions of the following nonlinear scalar field equations in $\mathbb R^N$ ($N \geq 2$): $$ (*)_m \quad - \Delta u + \mu u = g(u) \quad \text{in}\ {\mathbb R}^N, \quad {1\over 2} \int_{{\mathbb…

One of the main features of eigenvalue matrix models is that the averages of characters are again characters, what can be considered as a far-going generalization of the Fourier transform property of Gaussian exponential. This is true for…

We derive analytic solutions for the potential and field in a one-dimensional system of masses or charges with periodic boundary conditions, in other words Ewald sums for one dimension. We also provide a set of tools for exploring the…

We develop novel techniques which allow us to prove a diverse range of results relating to subset sums and complete sequences of positive integers, including solutions to several longstanding open problems. These include: solutions to the…

We give a generalization of Kung's theorem on critical exponents of linear codes over a finite field, in terms of sums of extended weight polynomials of linear codes. For all i=k+1,...,n, we give an upper bound on the smallest integer m…

We develop a theory of sesquilinear forms over finite fields, investigating their representations via polynomials and coefficient matrices, along with classification results for these forms. Through their connection to quadratic forms, we…
