We prove an explicit log-free zero density estimate and an explicit version of the zero-repulsion phenomenon of Deuring and Heilbronn for Hecke $L$-functions. In forthcoming work of the second author, these estimates will be used to…
We construct skew corner-free subsets of $[n]^2$ of size $n^2\exp(-O(\sqrt{\log n}))$, thereby improving on recent bounds of the form $\Omega(n^{5/4})$ obtained by Pohoata and Zakharov. In the other direction, we prove that any such set has…
We present methods for bounding infinite-time averages in dynamical systems governed by nonlinear PDEs. The methods rely on auxiliary functionals, which are similar to Lyapunov functionals but satisfy different inequalities. The…
We establish a locally uniform a priori bound on the dynamics of a rational function $f$ of degree $>1$ on the Berkovich projective line over an algebraically closed field of any characteristic that is complete with respect to a non-trivial…
We report the finding of the new upper bound on the lowest positive integer $x$ for which the Mertens conjecture \begin{equation*} \left| \sum_{1 \leq n \leq x} \mu(n) \right| < \sqrt{x} \end{equation*} fails to hold: $x < \exp(1.017 \times…
We study the efficiency of the first Dirichlet eigenfunction $u$ on bounded convex domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$, defined as the ratio between the mean value of $u$ on $\Omega$ and its maximum value. By exploiting improved…
We obtain unconditional, effective number-field analogues of the three Mertens' theorems, all with explicit constants and valid for $x\geq 2$. Our error terms are explicitly bounded in terms of the degree and discriminant of the number…
Khinchin proved that the arithmetic mean of continued fraction digits of Lebesgue almost every irrational number in $(0,1)$ diverges to infinity. Hence, none of the classical limit theorems such as the weak and strong laws of large numbers…
Faltings' theorem states that curves of genus $g \geq 2$ have finitely many rational points. Using the ideas of Faltings, Mumford, Parshin and Raynaud, one obtains an upper bound on the number of rational points, but this bound is too large…
We establish sharp regularity for the value function, the pressure, and the free boundary in one-dimensional first-order mean field games with power coupling and compactly supported density. Under a standard nondegeneracy assumption on the…
Evaluation complexity for convexly constrained optimization is considered and it is shown first that the complexity bound of $O(\epsilon^{-3/2})$ proved by Cartis, Gould and Toint (IMAJNA 32(4) 2012, pp.1662-1695) for computing an…
A classical result of Steinitz from 1913 \cite{Ste13}, answering an earlier question of Riemann and L\'evy (e.g., \cite{Lev05}), states that for any norm $\|\cdot\|$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and any set of vectors $v_1, \cdots, v_n \in \R^d$…
We focus on the initial boundary value problem for a general scalar balance law in one space dimension. Under rather general assumptions on the flux and source functions, we prove the well-posedness of this problem and the stability of its…
In this expository paper we survey some recent results on Dirichlet problems of the form $Lu=f(x,u)$ in $\Omega$, $u\equiv0$ in $\mathbb R^n\backslash\Omega$. We first discuss in detail the boundary regularity of solutions, stating the main…
We give a simple Tauberian proof of the Prime Number Theorem using only elementary real analysis. Hence, the analytic continuation of Riemann's zeta function $\zeta$ and its non-vanishing value on the whole line $\{z\in {\mathbb…
We study exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n=1}^N e^{2\pi i a b^n/m}$ for non-zero integers $a,b,m$. Classically, non-trivial bounds were known for $N\ge \sqrt{m}$ by Korobov, and this range has been extended significantly by Bourgain as…
We prove new incidence bounds between a plane point set, which is a Cartesian product, and a set of translates $H$ of the hyperbola $xy=\lambda\neq 0$, over a field of asymptotically large positive characteristic $p$. They improve recent…
For the functions from sets $C_\beta^\psi C$ and $C_\beta^\psi L_s, \ 1\leq s\leq\infty$, generated by sequences $\psi(k)>0$ satisfying the condition d'Alembert $\mathop {\rm \lim}\limits_{k\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\psi(k+1)}{\psi(k)}=q, \…
We have obtained the perturbative expressions up to sixth order for the energy of the bound state in a one dimensional, arbitrarily weak, short range finite well, applying a method originally developed by Gat and Rosenstein Ref. [3]. The…
We consider a random variable X satisfying almost-sure conditions involving G:=<DX,-DL^{-1}X> where DX is X's Malliavin derivative and L^{-1} is the inverse Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator. A lower- (resp. upper-) bound condition on G is proved…
