We give an upper bound for the exponential sum over squarefree integers. This establishes a conjecture by Br\"udern and Perelli.

In the present paper we show that there exist infinitely many consecutive square-free numbers of the form $n^2+1$, $n^2+2$. We also establish an asymptotic formula for the number of such square-free pairs when $n$ does not exceed given…

We determine the largest subset $A\subseteq \{1,\dotsc,n\}$ such that for all $a,b\in A$, the product $ab$ is not squarefree. Specifically, the maximum size is achieved by the complement of the odd squarefree numbers. This resolves a…

In this short paper we shall prove that there exist infinitely many consecutive square-free numbers of the form $[\alpha p]$, $[\alpha p]+1$, where $p$ is prime and $\alpha>0$ is irrational algebraic number. We also establish an asymptotic…

Let $R_k(x)$ denote the error incurred by approximating the number of $k$-free integers less than $x$ by $x/\zeta(k)$. It is well known that $R_k(x)=\Omega(x^{\frac{1}{2k}})$, and widely conjectured that…

We show that once $\theta>17/30$, every sufficiently long interval $[x,x+x^\theta]$ contains many $k$-term arithmetic progressions of primes, uniformly in the starting point $x$. More precisely, for each fixed $k\ge3$ and $\theta>17/30$,…

We find an asymptotic formula for the number of rational points near planar curves. More precisely, if $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is a sufficiently smooth function defined on the interval $[\eta,\xi]$, then the number of rational…

Let $s_1, s_2, s_3, \cdots$ be the set of squarefree numbers in ascending order. In this paper, we prove that the following asymptotic on moments of gaps between squarefree numbers \[ \sum_{s_{k+1} \le x} (s_{k+1} - s_k)^\gamma \sim…

Let $r \ge 2$ be an integer and let $A$ be a finite, nonempty set of nonzero integers. We will obtain a lower bound for the number of squarefree integers $n$, up to $x$, for which the products $\prod_{p \mid n} (p+a)$ (over primes $p$) are…

A set A is square-difference free (henceforth SDF) if there do not exist x,y\in A, x\ne y, such that |x-y| is a square. Let sdf(n) be the size of the largest SDF subset of {1,...,n}. Ruzsa has shown that sdf(n) = \Omega(n^{0.5(1+ \log_{65}…

In a recent paper, one of us posed three open problems concerning squarefree arithmetic progressions in infinite words. In this note we solve these problems and prove some additional results.

The number of square-free integers in $x$ consecutive values of any polynomial $f$ is conjectured to be $c_fx$, where the constant $c_f$ depends only on the polynomial $f$. This has been proven for degrees less or equal to 3. Granville was…

In this paper we show that there exist infinitely many square-free numbers of the form $n^2+n+1$. We achieve this by deriving an asymptotic formula by improving the reminder term from previous results.

We prove some new statements on the distribution of $\mathcal{B}$-free numbers in short intervals. In particular, we show an asymptotic result for the variance of the number of $\mathcal{B}$-free integers in random short intervals which…

We calculate the mean and variance of sums of the M\"obius function and the indicator function of the squarefrees, in both short intervals and arithmetic progressions, in the context of the ring of polynomials over a finite field of $q$…

Every integer greater than two can be expressed as the sum of a prime and a square-free number. Expanding on recent work, we provide explicit and asymptotic results when divisibility conditions are imposed on the square-free number. For…

We settle an open problem regarding palindromes; that is, positive integers which are the same when written forwards and backwards. In particular, we prove that for any fixed base $b\geq 2$, there exist infinitely many square-free…

Let $R(N)$ be the number of representations of $N$ as a sum of a prime and a square-full number weighted with logarithmic function. In $2024$, the author and Y. Suzuki obtained an asymptotic formula for the sum of $R(N)$ over positive…

Let 0<\theta<\pi such that \cos\theta\in \Q. In this paper, we prove that for given positive square-free coprime integers k,l, there exist infinitely many pairs (M,N) of \theta-congruent numbers such that lN=kM. This generalize the previous…

This note discusses the existence of prime numbers in short intervals. An unconditional elementary argument seems to prove the existence of primes in the short intervals [x, x + y], where y >= x^(1/2)(log x)^e, e > 0, and a sufficiently…
