We investigate lower bounds for the variance in arithmetic progressions of certain multiplicative functions "close" to $1$. Specifically, we consider $\alpha_N$-fold divisor functions, when $\alpha_N$ is a sequence of positive real numbers…

We study the triple convolution sum of the generalised divisor functions $$\sum_{n\leq x} d_k(n+h)d_l(n)d_m(n-h),$$ where $h \le x^{1-\epsilon}$ for any $\epsilon>0$ and $d_k(n)$ denotes the generalised divisor function which counts the…

We study the variance of sums of the $k$-fold divisor function $d_k(n)$ over sparse arithmetic progressions, with averaging over both residue classes and moduli. In a restricted range, we confirm an averaged version of a recent conjecture…

We consider a few modifications of the Big prime modular $\gcd$ algorithm for polynomials in $\Z[x]$. Our modifications are based on bounds of degrees of modular common divisors of polynomials, on estimates of the number of prime divisors…
