Let $q$ be a power of a prime and let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field consisting of $q$ elements. We establish new explicit estimates on Gauss sums of the form $S_n(a) = \sum_{x\in \mathbb{F}_q}\psi_a(x^n)$, where $\psi_a$ is a…

We obtain an estimate for the cubic Weyl sum which improves the bound obtained from Weyl differencing for short ranges of summation. In particular, we show that for any $\varepsilon>0$ there exists some $\delta>0$ such that for any coprime…

Our principal aim in the present article is to establish a uniform hybrid bound for individual values on the critical line of Hecke $L$-functions associated with cusp forms over the full modular group. This is rendered in the statement that…

We investigate the first and second moments of shifted convolutions of the generalised divisor function $d_3(n)$.

Let $\pi$ traverse a sequence of cuspidal automorphic representations of GL(2) with large prime level, unramified central character and bounded infinity type. For G either of the groups GL(1) or PGL(2), let H(G) denote the assertion that…

Given a half-integral weight holomorphic Kohnen newform $f$ on $\Gamma_0(4)$, we prove an asymptotic formula for large primes $p$ with power saving error term for \begin{equation*} \sideset{}{^*} \sum_{\chi \hspace{-0.15cm} \pmod{p}} |…

Let $\nu=(\nu_1,\ldots,\nu_n)\in (-1,\vc)^n$, $n\ge 1$, and let $\mathcal{L}_\nu$ be a self-adjoint extension of the differential operator \[ L_\nu := \sum_{i=1}^n \left[-\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x_i^2} + x_i^2 + \frac{1}{x_i^2}(\nu_i^2 -…

In this paper, we prove a Voronoi summation formula for the shifted 3-fold divisor function twisted by additive characters. As the main tool, we provide the functional equation for the shifted $GL(3)$ Estermann function.

We study cancellation in sums of Hecke eigenvalues over irreducible quadratic polynomials over short intervals. In particular, we look at an average over bases of Hecke forms of weight $k$ in the range $\vert k-K\vert<K^\theta$ where…

We prove $\sum_{K-G}\le \kappa_j \le K+G}\alpha_j H_j^3(1/2) \ll_\epsilon GK^{1+\epsilon}$ for $K^\epsilon \le G \le K$, where $\alpha_j = |\rho_j(1)|^2(\cosh \pi\kappa_j)^{-1}$, and $\rho_j(1)$ is the first Fourier coefficient of the Maass…

We study simultaneous non-vanishing of $L(\tfrac{1}{2},\di)$ and $L(\tfrac{1}{2},g\otimes \di)$, when $\di$ runs over an orthogonal basis of the space of Hecke-Maass cusp forms for $SL(3,\mathbb{Z})$ and $g$ is a fixed $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$…

Using the OPE, we formulate new sum rules in the heavy quark limit of QCD. These sum rules imply that the elastic Isgur-Wise function $\xi (w)$ is an alternate series in powers of $(w-1)$. Moreover, one gets that the $n$-th derivative of…

For a purely $N$-periodic continued fraction $\xi=[\overline{a_0,a_1,\dots,a_{N-1}}]=[a_0,a_1,\cdots]$, with $a_k=a_{k+N}$ for all $k\ge 0$, and convergents $h_n/k_n=[a_0,a_1,\dots,a_n]$, we obtain explicit expressions for the weighted…

This is a sequel to our previous articles \cite{Kw23, Kw23a+}. In this work, we apply recent techniques that fall under the banner of `Period Reciprocity' to study moments of $GL(3)\times GL(2)$ $L$-functions in the non-archimedean aspects,…

For a wide range of functions $W\colon\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}$, we establish a general result for estimating weighted averages of the form \[ \mathbb{E}^{W}_{n \le N} f(\vartheta(n))= \frac{1}{W(N)}\sum_{n=1}^N (W(n)-W(n-1))f(\vartheta(n)),…

We establish weighted $L^p$-Fourier-extension estimates for $O(N-k) \times O(k)$-invariant functions defined on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{N-1}$, allowing for exponents $p$ below the Stein-Tomas critical exponent $\frac{2(N+1)}{N-1}$.…

We prove that the $k$-th positive integer moment of partial sums of Steinhaus random multiplicative functions over the interval $(x, x+H]$ matches the corresponding Gaussian moment, as long as $H\ll x/(\log x)^{2k^2+2+o(1)}$ and $H$ tends…
