We study averages along the integers using the divisor function $d(n)$, and defined as $$K_N f (x) = \frac{1}{D(N)} \sum _{n \leq N} d(n) \,f(x+n) , $$ where $D(N) = \sum _{n=1} ^N d(n) $. We shall show that these averages satisfy a…

To tackle difficulties for theoretical studies in situations involving nonsmooth functions, we propose a sequence of infinitely differentiable functions to approximate the nonsmooth function under consideration. A rate of approximation is…

We obtain asymptotic for the quantity $\int_0^1 \bigg|\sum_{n\le X}\tau_k(n)e(n\alpha)\bigg|d\alpha$ where $\tau_k(n) = \sum_{d_1\dots d_k = n} 1$. This follows from a quick application of the circle method. Along the way, we find minor arc…

For generalized KdV models with polynomial nonlinearity, we establish nonlinear smoothing property in $H^s$ for $s>\frac{1}{2}$. Such smoothing effect persists globally, provided that the $H^1$ norm does not blow up in finite time. More…

A generalization of the Borsuk-Ulam theorem to Stiefel manifolds is considered. This theorem is applied to derive bounds on $d$ that guarantee-for a given set of $m$ measures in $\mathbb{R}^d$-the existence of $k$ mutually orthogonal…

Twisted K-theory on a manifold X, with twisting in the 3rd integral cohomology, is dis- cussed in the case when X is a product of a circle T and a manifold M. The twist is assumed to be decomposable as a cup product of the basic integral…

We prove that if $f(n)$ is a Steinhaus or Rademacher random multiplicative function, there almost surely exist arbitrarily large values of $x$ for which $|\sum_{n \leq x} f(n)| \geq \sqrt{x} (\log\log x)^{1/4+o(1)}$. This is the first such…

We consider the problem of estimating an expectation $ \mathbb{E}\left[ h(W)\right]$ by quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods, where $ h $ is an unbounded smooth function on $ \mathbb{R}^d $ and $ W$ is a standard normal distributed random…

The classical Hadamard three circle theorem is generalized to complete K\"ahler manifolds. More precisely, we show that the nonnegativity of the holomorphic sectional curvature is a necessary and sufficient condition for the three circle…

We study a variational problem on a smooth manifold with a decomposition of the tangent bundle into $k>2$ subbundles (distributions), namely, we consider the integrated sum of their mixed scalar curvatures as a functional of adapted…

$k$th-order sum-free functions are a natural generalization of APN functions using the concept of (non)vanishing flats. In this paper, we introduce a new combinatorial technique to study the nonvanishing flats of Boolean functions. This…
