Let $\phi^t$ be a continuous flow on a metric space $X$ and $I$ be an isolated invariant set with an index pair $(N,L)$ and a Morse decomposition $\{M_i\}^n_{i=1}$. For every category $\nu$ on $N/L$, we prove that $\nu(N/L)\leq…

In this paper, it is established that every sufficiently large positive integer $n$ subject to $n\equiv0\pmod2$ can be represented as a sum of one square of prime and seventeen fifth powers of primes, which gives an enhancement upon the…

Let $\lambda$ be a fixed integer, $\lambda\ge 2.$ Let $s_n$ be any strictly increasing sequence of positive integers satisfying $s_n\le n^{15/14+o(1)}.$ In this paper we give a version of the large sieve inequality for the sequence…

In this work, we studied various properties of arithmetic function $\tilde{\varphi}$, where $\tilde{\varphi}(n)=|\{m\in \mathbb{N} | 1\le m\le n, (m,n)=1, \mbox{$m$ is not a prime}\}|.$

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a semi-finite von Neumann algebra and let $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ be a Lipschitz function. If $A,B\in\mathcal{M}$ are self-adjoint operators such that $[A,B]\in L_1(\mathcal{M}),$ then…

Let $\omega^*(n) = \{d|n: d=p-1, \mbox{$p$ is a prime}\}$. We show that, for each integer $k\geq2$, $$ \sum_{n\leq x}\omega^*(n)^k \asymp x(\log x)^{2^k-k-1}, $$ where the implied constant may depend on $k$ only. This confirms a recent…

We investigate the integer solutions of Diophantine equations related to Lehmer's totient conjecture. We give an algorithm that computes all nontrivial spoof Lehmer factorizations with a fixed number of factors, and enumerate all nontrivial…

The decomposition of the tensor product of a positive and a negative discrete series representation of the Lie algebra su(1,1) is a direct integral over the principal unitary series representations. In the decomposition discrete terms can…

For any $\sigma$ with $0\leq \sigma\leq 1$ and any $T>10$ sufficiently large, let $N_{\zeta}(\sigma,K,T)$ be the number of zeros $\rho=\beta+i\gamma$ of $\zeta_{K}(s)$ with $|\gamma|\leq T$ and $\beta\geq \sigma$ and the zero being counted…

Let $M(\alpha)$ denote the (logarithmic) Mahler measure of the algebraic number $\alpha$. Dubickas and Smyth, and later Fili and the author, examined metric versions of $M$. The author generalized these constructions in order to associate,…

Given a finite set of bases $b_1$, $b_2$, \dots, $b_r$ (integers greater than $1$), a multi-base representation of an integer~$n$ is a sum with summands $db_1^{\alpha_1}b_2^{\alpha_2} \cdots b_r^{\alpha_r}$, where the $\alpha_j$ are…

We prove that every odd number $N$ greater than 1 can be expressed as the sum of at most five primes, improving the result of Ramar\'e that every even natural number can be expressed as the sum of at most six primes. We follow the circle…
