In recent years the question of maximizing GCD sums regained interest due to its firm link with large values of $L$-functions. In the present paper we initiate the study of minimizing for positive weights~$w$ of normalized $L^1$- norm the…
We use bounds of mixed character sum to study the distribution of solutions to certain polynomial systems of congruences modulo a prime $p$. In particular, we obtain nontrivial results about the number of solution in boxes with the side…
In this article, we investigate the conditional large values of quadratic Dirichlet character sums. We prove an Omega result for quadratic character sums under the assumption of the generalized Riemann hypothesis.
We give an effective version with explicit constants of a mean value theorem of Vaughan related to the values of \psi(y, \chi), the twisted summatory function associated to the von Mangoldt function \Lambda and a Dirichlet character \chi.…
We consider the series expansion of the $L^p$-Hardy inequality of \cite{BFT2}, in the particular case where the distance is taken from an interior point of a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $1<p\neq n$. For $p<n$ we improve it by…
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…
In this paper we unify and improve some of the results of Bourgain, Brezis and Mironescu and the weighted Poincar\'e-Sobolev estimate by Fabes, Kenig and Serapioni. More precisely, we get weighted counterparts of the Poincar\'e-Sobolev type…
Threshold phenomena are investigated using a general approach, following Talagrand [Ann. Probab. 22 (1994) 1576--1587] and Friedgut and Kalai [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 12 (1999) 1017--1054]. The general upper bound for the threshold width of…
In the paper, some lower bounds for polygamma functions are refined.
We show that the system of equations \begin{align*} \sum_{i=1}^s (x_i^j-y_i^j) = a_j \qquad (1 \le j \le k) \end{align*} has appreciably fewer solutions in the subcritical range $s < k(k+1)/2$ than its homogeneous counterpart, provided that…
Inspired by the work of Bourgain and Garaev (2013), we provide new bounds for certain weighted bilinear Kloosterman sums in polynomial rings over a finite field. As an application, we build upon and extend some results of Sawin and…
We generalize McDiarmid's inequality for functions with bounded differences on a high probability set, using an extension argument. Those functions concentrate around their conditional expectations. We further extend the results to…
In this paper we study the eigenvalue sums of Dirichlet Laplacians on bounded domains. Among our results we establish an improvement of the Li-Yau bound in the presence of a constant magnetic field.
Some new sufficient conditions for the weighted Chebyshev's inequality for real numbers to hold are provided.
We consider character sums determined by isogenies of elliptic curves over finite fields. We prove a congruence condition for character sums attached to arbitrary cyclic isogenies, and produce explicit formulas for isogenies of small…
We establish upper bounds for moments of smoothed quadratic Dirichlet character sums under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, confirming a conjecture of M. Jutila.
We obtain new bounds of multivariate exponential sums with monomials, when the variables run over rather short intervals. Furthermore, we use the same method to derive estimates on similar sums with multiplicative characters to which…
A minor improvement is made to the calculation of the inhomogeneity term. The new calculation gives better agreement with the observations of Daoud et al. and Cheng-Graessley-Melnichenko.
An improvement of a global Gagliardo-Nienberg inequality with a BMO term is established.
We give a slight refinement to the process by which estimates for exponential sums are extracted from bounds for Vinogradov's mean value. Coupling this with the recent works of Wooley, and of Bourgain, Demeter and Guth, providing optimal…
