We propose an extended quantum theory, in which the number K of parameters necessary to characterize a quantum state behaves as fourth power of the number N of distinguishable states. As the simplex of classical N-point probability…

The continued fraction expansion of an irrational number $\alpha$ is eventually periodic if and only if $\alpha$ is a quadratic irrationality. However, very little is known regarding the size of the partial quotients of algebraic real…

Easily computable lower and upper bounds are found for the sum of Catalan numbers. The lower bound is proven to be tighter than the upper bound, which previously was declared to be only an asymptotic. The average of these bounds is proven…

We count rational points of bounded height on the non-normal senary quartic hypersurface x 4 = (y 2 1 + $\times$ $\times$ $\times$ + y 2 4)z 2 in the spirit of Manin's conjecture.

Let X=Sl(3,Z)\Sl(3,R)/SO(3,R). Let N(lambda) denote the dimension of the space of cusp forms with Laplace eigenvalue less than lambda. We prove that N(lambda)=C lambda^(5/2)+O(lambda^2) where C is the appropriate constant establishing…

We show that a certain two-dimensional family of Weyl sums of length $P$ takes values as large as $P^{3/4 + o(1)}$ on almost all linear slices of the unit torus, contradicting a widely held expectation that Weyl sums should exhibit…

Let $F$ be a finite field of odd characteristic. We prove that any set $A\subset F$ with $|A|\geq C|F|^{5/6}$ contains a nontrivial quadratic progression $(x, x+y, x+y^2), y\neq 0.$ For prime fields, this improves the previous best-known…

Hardy and Littlewood's approximate functional equation for quadratic Weyl sums (theta sums) provides, by iterative application, a powerful tool for the asymptotic analysis of such sums. The classical Jacobi theta function, on the other…

For any $\varepsilon >0$, we obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of solutions $n \le x$ to $$ \lVert \alpha n + \beta \rVert < x^{-\frac{1}{4}+\varepsilon} $$ where $n$ is $[y,z]$-smooth for infinitely many real number $x$. In…

We consider a problem posed by Shparlinski, of giving nontrivial bounds for rational exponential sums over the arithmetic function $\tau(n)$, counting the number of divisors of $n$. This is done using some ideas of Sathe concerning the…

In this paper we study the mean square of the error term in the Weyl's law of an irrational $(2l+1)$-dimensional Heisenberg manifold . An asymptotic formula is established.

For sufficiently large integers $K$, $x$, $y$, and $q$ satisfying $K \le y < x$, where $f(u) = \alpha u^n + \alpha_{n-1}u^{n-1} + \ldots + \alpha_1 u$ is a polynomial of degree $n$ with real coefficients, $n$ is a fixed positive integer,…

In 1888, Hilbert proved that every non-negative quartic form f=f(x,y,z) with real coefficients is a sum of three squares of quadratic forms. His proof was ahead of its time and used advanced methods from topology and algebraic geometry. Up…
