For $p$ prime, let $\mathcal{H}^n$ be the linear span of characteristic functions of hyperplanes in $(\mathbb{Z}/p^k\mathbb{Z})^n$. We establish new upper bounds on the dimension of $\mathcal{H}^n$ over $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$, or…

Let $3\leqslant k\leqslant9$ be a fixed integer, $p$ be a prime and $d(n)$ denote the Dirichlet divisor function. We use $\Delta(x)$ to denote the error term in the asymptotic formula of the summatory function of $d(n)$. The aim of this…

We obtain in closed form averages of polynomials, taken over hermitian matrices with the Gaussian measure involved in the Kontsevich integral, and prove a conjecture of Witten enabling one to express analogous averages with the full (cubic…

Gerard and Washington proved that, for $k > -1$, the number of primes less than $x^{k+1}$ can be well approximated by summing the $k$-th powers of all primes up to $x$. We extend this result to primes in arithmetic progressions: we prove…

Let $d^{(k)}(n)$ be the $k$-free divisor function for integer $k\ge2$. Let $a$ be a nonzero integer. In this paper, we establish an asymptotic formula \begin{equation*} \sum_{p\leq x} d^{(k)}(p-a) =b_k \cdot x+O\left(\frac{x}{\log x}\right)…

We examine exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n \le X} w(n) e^{2\pi i\alpha n^k}$, for $k=1,2$, where $\alpha$ satisfies a generalized Diophantine approximation and where $w$ are different arithmetic functions that might be multiplicative,…

We establish a function field analogue of Mertens' formula for Euler products restricted to primes in arithmetic progressions over the polynomial ring F_q[t]. Our results are in direct correspondence with those of Languasco and Zaccagnini…

We show that if an essentially arbitrary sequence supported on an interval containing $x$ integers, is convolved with a tiny Siegel-Walfisz-type sequence supported on an interval containing $\exp((\log x)^{\varepsilon})$ integers then the…

We estimate asymptotically the fourth moment of the Riemann zeta-function twisted by a Dirichlet polynomial of length $T^{\frac14 - \varepsilon}$. Our work relies crucially on Watt's theorem on averages of Kloosterman fractions. In the…

We deduce an asymptotic formula with error term for the sum $\sum_{n_1,\ldots,n_k \le x} f([n_1,\ldots, n_k])$, where $[n_1,\ldots, n_k]$ stands for the least common multiple of the positive integers $n_1,\ldots, n_k$ ($k\ge 2$) and $f$…

We apply Schmidt's Subspace Theorem to establish Arithmetic General Theorems for projective varieties over number and function fields. Our first result extends an analogous result of M. Ru and P. Vojta. One aspect to its proof makes use of…

We define an $f$-restricted partition $p_f(n,k)$ of fixed length $k$ given by the bivariate generating series \begin{align*} Q_f(z,u) \coloneqq 1+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} p_f(n,k) u^kz^n…

Under two assumptions, we determine the distribution of the difference between two functions each counting the numbers < x that are in a given arithmetic progression modulo q and the product of two primes. The two assumptions are (i) the…

We prove general nonlinear large deviation estimates similar to Chatterjee-Dembo's original bounds except that we do not require any second order smoothness. Our approach relies on convex analysis arguments and is valid for a broad class of…

We use the Petrow-Young [10] subconvexity bound for Dirichlet $L$-functions to show that $d_4(n)$ has exponent of distribution $4/7$ when we allow an average over $a$ mod $q$, thereby giving an equidistribution result for $d_4(n)$ which…

We give two improved explicit versions of the prime number theorem for primes in arithmetic progression: the first isolating the contribution of the Siegel zero and the second completely explicit, where the improvement is for medium-sized…

We construct differential algebras in which spaces of (one-dimensional) periodic ultradistributions are embedded. By proving a Schwartz impossibility type result, we show that our embeddings are optimal in the sense of being consistent with…

In this article, we prove an asymptotic formula for the mean value of long smoothed Dirichlet polynomials with divisor coefficients. Our result has a main term that includes all lower order terms and a power saving error term. This is…

We prove significant power savings for the error term when counting abelian extensions of number fields (as well as the twisted version of these results for nontrivial Galois modules). In some cases over $\mathbb{Q}$, these results reveal…

We use spectral theory to produce embeddings of distributions in the algebras of generalized functions on a closed Riemannian manifold. These embeddings are invariant under isometries and preserve the singularity structure of the…
