The Duffin--Schaeffer Conjecture answers a question on how well one can approximate irrationals by rational numbers in reduced form (an imposed condition) where the accuracy of the approximation depends on the rational number. It can be…

Let $L$ be a sectorial operator of type $\alpha$ ($0 \leq \alpha < \pi/2$) on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$ with the kernels of $\{e^{-tL}\}_{t>0}$ satisfying certain size and regularity conditions. Define $$ S_{q,L}(f)(x) =…

We prove Polya's conjecture of 1943: For a real entire function of order greater than 2, with finitely many non-real zeros, the number of non-real zeros of the n-th derivative tends to infinity with n. We use the saddle point method and…

Let $\{a_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, $\{b_n\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ be two infinite subsets of positive integers and $\psi:\mathbb{N}\to \mathbb{R}_{>0}$ be a positive function. We completely determine the Hausdorff dimensions of the set of all…

We are studying the Diophantine exponent \mu_{n,l}$ defined for integers 1 \leq l < n and a vector \alpha \in \mathbb{R}^n by letting \mu_{n,l} = \sup{\mu \geq 0: 0 < ||x \cdot \alpha|| < H(x)^{-\mu} for infinitely many x \in C_{n,l} \cap…

Classical-realistic analysis of entangled systems have lead to retrodiction paradoxes, which ordinarily have been dismissed on the grounds of counter-factuality. Instead, we claim that such paradoxes point to a deeper logical structure…

Let $E\subset [0,1]$ be a set that supports a probability measure $\mu$ with the property that $|\widehat{\mu}(t)|\ll (\log |t|)^{-A}$ for some constant $A>2.$ Let $\mathcal{A}=(q_n)_{n\in \N}$ be a positive, real-valued, lacunary sequence.…

For a complex number $x$, $\Vert x\Vert:=\min\{|x-m|:m\in\mathbb{Z}\}$. Let $k\geq 1$ be an integer, and $K$ be a number field. Let $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_k$ be algebraic numbers with $|\alpha_i|\geq 1$ and let $d_i$ denotes the degree of…

This paper is devoted to the study of a problem of Cassels in multiplicative Diophantine approximation which involves minimising values of a product of affine linear forms computed at integral points. It was previously known that values of…

For $\lambda \in (1/2, 1)$ and $\alpha$, we consider sets of numbers $x$ such that for infinitely many $n$, $x$ is $2^{-\alpha n}$-close to some $\sum_{i=1}^n \omega_i \lambda^i$, where $\omega_i \in \{0,1\}$. These sets are in Falconer's…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we prove that $$\int_X^{2X}\Big|\sum_{x\leq n \leq x+h}\lambda(n) \Big|^2 dx \ll Xh(\log X)^6,$$ as $X\rightarrow \infty$, provided $h=h(X)\leq…

Let $f\colon\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$ be an arithmetic function and consider the Beatty set $\mathcal{B}(\alpha) = \lbrace\, \lfloor n\alpha \rfloor : n\in\mathbb{N} \,\rbrace$ associated to a real number $\alpha$, where…

In the present paper we give very simple general statements which deal with approximation of a real number by rationals and are related to isolation phenomenon. In particular we study functions $ f(x)>f_1(x)>0$ such that existence of…

We establish a novel type of connection between random walks and analytic number theory. Working with a random walk on the circle group $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ in which each step is a random integer multiple of a given quadratic irrational…

Given two vectors in Euclidean space, how unlikely is it that a random vector has a larger inner product with the shorter vector than with the longer one? When the random vector has independent, identically distributed components, we…

We present a mechanical proof of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality in ACL2(r) and a formalisation of the necessary mathematics to undertake such a proof. This includes the formalisation of $\mathbb{R}^n$ as an inner product space. We also…

Recently Talagrand [T] estimated the deviation of a function on $\{0,1\}^n$ from its median in terms of the Lipschitz constant of a convex extension of $f$ to $\ell ^n_2$; namely, he proved that $$P(|f-M_f| > c) \le 4 e^{-t^2/4\sigma ^2}$$…

Let each of n particles starting at the origin in Z^2 perform simple random walk until reaching a site with no other particles. Lawler, Bramson, and Griffeath proved that the resulting random set A(n) of n occupied sites is (with high…

Fix an irrational number $\theta$. For a real number $\tau >0$, consider the numbers $y$ satisfying that for all large number $Q$, there exists an integer $1\leq n\leq Q$, such that $\|n\theta-y\|<Q^{-\tau}$, where $\|\cdot\|$ is the…

For a given irrational number $\alpha$ one can define an irrationality measure function $\psi_{\alpha}^{[2]}(t) = \min\limits_{\substack{(q, p)\colon q, p \in\mathbb{Z}, 1\leqslant q\leqslant t, \\ (p, q) \neq (p_n, q_n) ~\forall…
