The thesis gave a fine study on the distribution of the coefficients of automorphic L-functions for GL(m) with m>1. In particular we have treated two types of problems: change of signs of these coefficients (when they are real) and their…

We prove the existence of a positive solution to a semipositone $N$-Laplacian problem with a critical Trudinger-Moser nonlinearity. The proof is based on obtaining uniform $C^{1,\alpha}$ a priori estimates via a compactness argument. Our…

Let $\omega^*(n)$ be the number of primes $p$ such that $p-1$ divides $n$. Recently, R. M. Murty and V. K. Murty proved that $$x(\log\log x)^3\ll\sum_{n\le x}\omega^*(n)^2\ll x\log x.$$ They further conjectured that there is some positive…

For a positive integer $n$, we denote by $F(n)$ the distance from $n$ to the nearest prime number. We prove that every sufficiently large positive integer $N$ can be represented as the sum $N=n_1+n_2$, where $$ F(n_i) \geqslant (\log…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $G(n)$ denote the number of non-isomorphic finite groups of order $n$. It is well-known that $G(n) = 1$ if and only if $(n,\phi(n)) = 1$, where $\phi(n)$ and $(a, b)$ denote the Euler's totient function and…

Let $m,n\in \Bbb{N}$. We represent the additive subgroups of the ring $\Bbb{Z}_m \times \Bbb{Z}_n$, which are also (unital) subrings, and deduce explicit formulas for $N^{(s)}(m,n)$ and $N^{(us)}(m,n)$, denoting the number of subrings of…

We prove a kind of "almost all symmetry" result for the primes, i.e. we give non-trivial bounds for the "symmetry integral", say $I_{\Lambda}(N,h)$, of the von Mangoldt function $\Lambda(n)$ ($:= \log p$ for prime-powers $n=p^r$, 0…

Let $ \mathbb{F}_q[T]$\, be the ring of polynomials over a finite field $ \mathbb{F}_q $. Let $ g: \mathbb{F}_q[T] \rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ be a multiplicative function such that for any irreducible polynomial $ P $ over $ \mathbb{F}_q $…

Prime number theorem asserts that (at large $x$) the prime counting function $\pi(x)$ is approximately the logarithmic integral $\mbox{li}(x)$. In the intermediate range, Riemann prime counting function $\mbox{Ri}^{(N)}(x)=\sum_{n=1}^N…

We discuss some applications of the Morse-Novikov theory to some problems in modern physics, where appears a non-exact closed 1-form $\omega$ (a multi-valued functional). We focus mainly our attention to the cohomology of the de Rham…

Let p be a prime, and let M_p(n) denote the bit complexity of multiplying two polynomials in F_p[X] of degree less than n. For n large compared to p, we establish the bound M_p(n) = O(n log n 8^(log^* n) log p), where log^* is the iterated…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with non-zero identity and $M$ be a unitary $R$-module. Let $\mathcal{S}(M)$ be the set of all submodules of $M$, and $\phi:\mathcal{S}(M)\to \mathcal{S}(M)\cup \{\emptyset\}$ be a function. We say that a…

Let $f(N)$ denote the least integer $k$ such that, if $G$ is an abelian group of order $N$ and $A \subseteq G$ is a uniformly random $k$-element subset, then with probability at least $\tfrac12$ the subset-sum set $\{ \sum_{x \in S} x : S…

Let $m$ be a positive integer and let $\rho(m,n)$ be the proportion of permutations of the symmetric group ${\rm Sym}(n)$ whose order is coprime to $m$. In 2002, Pouyanne proved that $\rho(n,m)n^{1-\frac{\phi(m)}{m}}\sim \kappa_m$ where…

Let $\Omega(n)$ denote the total number of prime divisors of $n$ (counting multiplicity) and let $\omega(n)$ denote the number of distinct prime divisors of $n$. Various inequalities have been proved relating $\omega(N)$ and $\Omega(N)$…

We prove that assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis every even integer larger than $\exp(\exp(15.85))$ can be written as the sum of a prime number and a number that has at most two prime factors.

For a real-valued measurable function $f$ and a nonnegative, nondecreasing function $\phi$, we first obtain a Chebyshev type inequality which provides an upper bound for $\displaystyle \phi(\lambda_{1}) \mu(\{x \in \Omega : f(x) \geq…

Let $M$ be a finitely generated module over a Noetherian ring $R$ and $N$ a submodule. The index of reducibility ir$_M(N)$ is the number of irreducible submodules that appear in an irredundant irreducible decomposition of $N$ (this number…

As a well-known enumerative problem, the number of solutions of the equation $m=m_1+...+m_k$ with $m_1\leqslant...\leqslant m_k$ in positive integers is $\Pi(m,k)=\sum_{i=0}^k\Pi(m-k,i)$ and $\Pi$ is called the additive partition function.…

In this article, we investigate large values of Dirichlet character sums with multiplicative coefficients $\sum_{n\le N}f(n)\chi(n)$. We prove an Omega result in the region $\exp((\log q)^{\frac12+\varepsilon})\le N\le\sqrt q$, where $q$ is…
