Using basic tools of mathematical analysis and elementary probability theory we address several problems on the irrationality of series of distinct unit fractions, $\sum_k 1/a_k$. In particular, we study subseries of the Lambert series…

A covering system of the integers is a finite collection of arithmetic progressions whose union is the set of integers. A well-known problem on covering systems is the minimum modulus problem posed by Erd\H{o}s in 1950, who asked whether…

We consider fractional partial differential equations posed on the full space $\R^d$. Using the well-known Caffarelli-Silvestre extension to $\R^d \times \R^+$ as equivalent definition, we derive existence and uniqueness of weak solutions.…

We study sums of the shape $\sum_{n \leqslant x} f \left( \lfloor x/n \rfloor \right)$ where $f$ is either the von Mangoldt function or the Dirichlet-Piltz divisor functions. We improve previous estimates when $f = \Lambda$ and $f = \tau$,…

The recently introduced problem of extending partial interval representations asks, for an interval graph with some intervals pre-drawn by the input, whether the partial representation can be extended to a representation of the entire…

We consider the joint value distribution of Dirichlet $L$-functions in the critical strip $\frac{1}{2} < \sigma < 1$. We show that the values of distinct Dirichlet $L$-functions are dependent in the sense that they do not behave like…

Call an interval $\{N+1,\dots,N+H\}$ of consecutive natural numbers \emph{bad} if the product $(N+1) \dots (N+H)$ is divisible by the square of its largest prime factor; \emph{very bad} if this product is powerful, and \emph{type $F_3$} if…

We study the following variant of the Erd\H{o}s distance problem. Given $E$ and $F$ a point sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $p = (p_1, \ldots, p_q)$ with $p_1+ \cdots + p_q = d$ is an increasing partition of $d$ define $$ B_p(E,F)=\{(|x_1-y_1|,…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. We show that as $X \rightarrow \infty$, $$ \int_{X}^{2X} \sup_{\alpha} \left | \sum_{x < n \leq x + H} \lambda(n) e(-\alpha n) \right | dx = o ( X H) $$ for all $H \geq X^{\theta}$ with $\theta >…

Let $\sigma(x,\xi) $ be a sufficiently regular function defined on $R^d \times R^d.$ The pseudo-differential operator with symbol $\sigma$ is defined on the Schwartz class by the formula: \[f\to\sigma f(x)=\int_{R^d} \sigma(x,\xi)…

We investigate the algebraic genericity of various families of continuous functions exhibiting extreme irregularity, focusing on fractal dimensions, H\"older regularity, and fractional differentiability. Our first main result shows that for…

We study a certain class of arithmetic functions that appeared in Klurman's classification of $\pm 1$ multiplicative functions with bounded partial sums, c.f., Comp. Math. 153 (8), 2017, pp. 1622-1657. These functions are periodic and…

We prove a special case of Erd\H{o}s' unit distance problem using a corollary of the subspace theorem bounding the number of solutions of linear equations from a multiplicative group. We restrict our attention to unit distances coming from…

We prove that for sets $A, B, C \subset \mathbb{F}_p$ with $|A|=|B|=|C| \leq \sqrt{p}$ and a fixed $0 \neq d \in \mathbb{F}_p$ holds $$ \max(|AB|, |(A+d)C|) \gg|A|^{1+1/26}. $$ In particular, $$ |A(A+1)| \gg |A|^{1 + 1/26} $$ and $$…

This work is about global H\"older regularity for solutions to elliptic partial differential equations subject to mixed boundary conditions on irregular domains. There are two main results. In the first, we show that if the domain of the…

The discrepancy function measures the deviation of the empirical distribution of a point set in $[0,1]^d$ from the uniform distribution. In this paper, we study the classical discrepancy function with respect to the BMO and exponential…

We prove structural results for measure preserving systems, called Furstenberg systems, naturally associated with bounded multiplicative functions. We show that for all pretentious multiplicative functions these systems always have rational…

This text shows the existence of large (3.54 times the average) gaps between consecutive zeros, on the critical line, of some Dirichlet $L$-functions $L(s,\chi),$ with $\chi$ being an even primitive Dirichlet character.

In this paper we find a new lower bound on the number of imaginary quadratic extensions of the function field $\mathbb{F}_{q}(x)$ whose class groups have elements of a fixed odd order. More precisely, for $q$, a power of an odd prime, and…

Let $q(x,t)$ satisfy the Dirichlet initial-boundary value problem for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation on the finite interval, $0 < x < L$, with $q_{0}(x) = q(x,0)$, $g_{0}(t) = q(0,t)$, $f_{0}(t) = q(L,t)$. Let $g_{1}(t)$ and…
