Let $A$ be the product of an abelian variety and a torus defined over a number field $K$. Fix some prime number $\ell$. If $\alpha \in A(K)$ is a point of infinite order, we consider the set of primes $\mathfrak p$ of $K$ such that the…

We derive an asymptotic formula which counts the number of abelian extensions of prime degrees over rational function fields. Specifically, let $\ell$ be a rational prime and $K$ a rational function field $\Bbb F_q(t)$ with $\ell \nmid q$.…

Let $\mathbf{G}$ be the set of all finite or infinite increasing sequences of positive integers beginning with 1. For a sequence $S=\{s(n)\}, n\geq1,$ from $\mathbf{G},$ a positive number $N$ is called an exponentially $S$-number $(N\in…

We study the value distribution of the Sudler product $P_N(\alpha) := \prod_{n=1}^{N}\lvert2\sin(\pi n \alpha)\rvert$ for Lebesgue-almost every irrational $\alpha$. We show that for every non-decreasing function $\psi: (0,\infty) \to…

Let $A$ be a finite, abelian group. We show that the density of $A$-extensions satisfying the Hasse norm principle exists, when the extensions are ordered by discriminant. This strengthens earlier work of Frei--Loughran--Newton \cite{FLN},…

Consider a $q$-Weil polynomial $f$ of degree $2g$. Using an equidistribution assumption that is too strong to be true, we define and compute a product of local relative densities of matrices in $\rm{GSp}_{2g}(\mathbb{F}_\ell)$ with…

Let F be a family of subsets of {1,2,...,n}. The width-degree of an element x in at least one member of F is the width of the family {U in F | x in U}. If F has maximum width-degree at most k, then F is locally k-wide. Bounds on the size of…

The classical Mertens' formula states that $ \prod_{p\le N}\big(1-\frac1p)^{-1}\sim e^\gamma\log N, $ where the product is over all primes $p$ less than or equal to $N$, and $\gamma$ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant. By the Euler product…

In this paper, we compute the natural density of the set of k x n integer matrices that can be extended to an invertible n x n matrix over the integers. As a corollary, we find the density of rectangular matrices with Hermite normal form [O…

Let $P$ be a subset of the primes of lower density strictly larger than $\frac12$. Then, every sufficiently large even integer is a sum of four primes from the set $P$. We establish similar results for $k$-summands, with $k\geq 4$, and for…

We investigate the norm maps of algebraic even $K$-groups of finite extensions of number fields. Namely, we show that they are surjective in most situations. In the event that they are not surjective, we give a criterion in determining when…

We show that in an ultraproduct of finite fields, the mod-$n$ nonstandard size of definable sets varies definably in families. Moreover, if $K$ is any pseudofinite field, then one can assign "nonstandard sizes mod $n$" to definable sets in…

Given an integer $k\ge2$, let $\omega_k(n)$ denote the number of primes that divide $n$ with multiplicity exactly $k$. We compute the density $e_{k,m}$ of those integers $n$ for which $\omega_k(n)=m$ for every integer $m\ge0$. We also show…

Let $K$ be a local field with residue characteristic $p$ and let $L/K$ be a totally ramified extension of degree $p^k$. In this paper we show that if $L/K$ has only two distinct indices of inseparability then there exists a uniformizer…

We study the set $\mathcal{S}$ of odd positive integers $n$ with the property ${2n}/{\sigma(n)} - 1 = 1/x$, for positive integer $x$, i.e., the set that relates to odd perfect and odd "spoof perfect" numbers. As a consequence, we find that…

Let $\{A_{i,n}\}$ be a triangular array of elements in a Banach algebra, whose norms do not grow too fast, and whose row averages converge to $A$. Let $\sigma \in S(n)$ be a permutation drawn uniformly at random. If the array only contains…

Local increases in the mean of a random field are detected (conservatively) by thresholding a field of test statistics at a level $u$ chosen to control the tail probability or $p$-value of its maximum. This $p$-value is approximated by the…

Denote by $\mathbb{N}$ and $\mathbb{P}$ the set of all positive integers and prime numbers, respectively. Let $\mathbb{P}=\{p_1<p_2<\dots <p_n<\dots\}$, where $p_n$ is the $n$-th prime number. For $k\in\mathbb{N}$ we recursively define…

Let $\sigma(n)$ be the sum of the positive divisors of $n$, and let $A(t)$ be the natural density of the set of positive integers $n$ satisfying $\sigma(n)/n \ge t$. We give an improved asymptotic result for $\log A(t)$ as $t$ grows…

Given positive integers $a_1,\ldots,a_k$, we prove that the set of primes $p$ such that $p \not\equiv 1 \bmod{a_i}$ for $i=1,\ldots,k$ admits asymptotic density relative to the set of all primes which is at least $\prod_{i=1}^k…
