We will use a discrete analogue of the classical Laplace method to show that for infinitely many positive integers $n$, the main term of the asymptotic expansion of the scaled $q$-exponential $(-q^{-nt+1/2}u;q)_{\infty}$ could be expressed…

Let $R$ be a standard graded Noetherian algebra over an infinite field $K$ and $M$ a finitely generated $\mathbb{Z}$-graded $R$-module. Then for any graded ideal $I\subseteq R_+$ of $R$, we show that there exist integers $e_1\geq e_2$ such…

Let $R(n) = \sum_{a+b=n} \Lambda(a)\Lambda(b)$, where $\Lambda(\cdot)$ is the von Mangoldt function. The function $R(n)$ is often studied in connection with Goldbach's conjecture. On the Riemann hypothesis (RH) it is known that $\sum_{n\leq…

For any irreducible quadratic polynomial f(x) in Z[x] we obtain the estimate log l.c.m.(f(1),...,f(n))= n log n + Bn + o(n) where B is a constant depending on f.

Let $(X,\mathcal{B}, \mu, T)$ be an ergodic dynamical system on a non-atomic finite measure space. We assume without loss of generality that $\mu(X)=1.$ Consider the maximal function $\dis R^*:(f, g) \in L^p\times L^q \to R^*(f, g)(x) =…

Let $k$ be a number field. We provide an asymptotic formula for the number of Galois extensions of $k$ with absolute discriminant bounded by some $X \geq 1$, as $X\to\infty$. We also provide an asymptotic formula for the closely related…

We study the distribution of the generalized gcd and lcm functions on average. The generalized gcd function, denoted by $(m,n)_b$, is the largest $b$-th power divisor common to $m$ and $n$. Likewise, the generalized lcm function, denoted by…

Let $\lambda_1(n)$ denote the least invariant factor in the invariant factor decomposition of the multiplicative group $M_n = (\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)^\times$. We give an asymptotic formula, with order of magnitude $x/\sqrt{\log x}$, for the…

The Landau-Kolmogorov problem consists of finding the upper bound $M_k$ for the norm of intermediate derivative $|f^{(k)}|$, when the bounds $|f| \le M_0$ and $|f^{(n)}| \le M_n$, for the norms of the function and of its higher derivative,…

When restricted to some non-negative multiplicative function, say f, bounded on primes and that vanishes on non square-free integers, our result provides us with an asymptotic for $\sum_{n \le X}f(n)/n$ with error term $O((\log…

Let $N$ be a finite set of cardinality $n$, and $a\in N$. A submodular function $f$ on $N$ with $f(a)=1$ is defined to be $a$-reduced if, for any decomposition $f=g+h$ into submodular functions where $h$ does not depend on $a$, it follows…

We study logarithmically averaged binary correlations of bounded multiplicative functions $g_1$ and $g_2$. A breakthrough on these correlations was made by Tao, who showed that the correlation average is negligibly small whenever $g_1$ or…

The main objects of study in this article are two classes of Rankin-Selberg L-unctions, namely L(s, f \times g) and L(s, sym^2(g) \times sym^2(g)), where f, g are newforms, holomorphic or of Maass type, on the upper half plane, and sym^2(g)…

Let $ x\geq 1 $ be a large number, let $ [x]=x-\{x\} $ be the largest integer function, and let $ \varphi(n)$ be the Euler totient function. The asymptotic formula for the new finite sum over the primes $ \sum_{p\leq…

Recently Greg Martin derived an interesting formula for the least common multiple of {1,2,...,n}. Here, we give an exposition of a concise proof in terms of the sine function.

The Landau-Selberg-Delange method provides an asymptotic formula for the partial sums of a multiplicative function whose average value on primes is a fixed complex number $v$. The shape of this asymptotic implies that $f$ can get very small…

For integer $n\geqslant 1$ and real $u$, let $\Delta(n,u):=|\{d:d\mid n,\,{\rm e}^u<d\leqslant {\rm e}^{u+1}\}|$. The Erd\H{o}s--Hooley Delta-function is then defined by $\Delta(n):=\max_{u\in{\mathbb R}}\Delta(n,u).$ We improve a recent…

Euler's totient function, $\varphi(n)$, which counts how many of $0,1,\dots,n-1$ are coprime to $n$, has an explicit asymptotic lower bound of $n/\log \log n$, modulo some constant. In this note, we generalise $\varphi$; given an…
