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 show that there exists $c>0$ such that any subset of $\{1, \dots, N\}$ of density at least $(\log\log{N})^{-c}$ contains a nontrivial progression of the form $x,x+y,x+y^2$. This is the first quantitatively effective version of the…

We show that the sum function of the M\"{o}bius function of a Beurling number system must satisfy the asymptotic bound $M(x)=o(x)$ if it satisfies the prime number theorem and its prime distribution function arises from a monotone…

In the present paper, we adopt a pretentious approach and prove a strongly uniform estimate for the sums of the von Mangoldt function $\Lambda$ on arithmetic progressions. This estimate is analogous to an estimate that Linnik established in…

Green, Tao and Ziegler prove ``Dense Model Theorems'' of the following form: if R is a (possibly very sparse) pseudorandom subset of set X, and D is a dense subset of R, then D may be modeled by a set M whose density inside X is…

In these notes, we refine Mitsui's Prime Number Theorem from 1957, which for a number field $K$ predicts how many prime elements there are in bounded convex sets in $K \otimes_{\mathbf Q} \mathbf R$, by incorporating potential Siegel zeros…

We demonstrate that $$\|\mu\|_{U^3([N])} \ll_{A}^{\text{ineff}} \log^{-A}(N)$$ $$\|\Lambda - \Lambda_Q\|_{U^3([N])} \ll_{A}^{\text{ineff}} \log^{-A}(N)$$ for any $A > 0$ where $\Lambda_Q$ is an approximant to the von Mangoldt function and…

We prove some distribution results for the $k$-fold divisor function in arithmetic progressions to moduli that exceed the square-root of length $X$ of the sum, with appropriate constrains and averaging on the moduli, saving a power of $X$…

We prove that the M\"obius function is orthogonal to polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q[x]$ (up to a characteristic condition). We use this orthogonality property to count prime solutions to affine-linear equations of bounded complexity in…

By involving some exponential sums related to $\Lambda(n)$ in arithmetic progression, we can obtain some new results for von Mangoldt function over {\bf nonhomogeneous} Beatty sequences in arithmetic progressions, which improve some recent…

We study higher uniformity properties of the M\"obius function $\mu$, the von Mangoldt function $\Lambda$, and the divisor functions $d_k$ on short intervals $(X,X+H]$ with $X^{\theta+\varepsilon} \leq H \leq X^{1-\varepsilon}$ for a fixed…

The Zagier $L$-series encode data of real quadratic fields. We study the average size of these $L$-series, and prove asymptotic expansions and omega results for the expansion. We then show how the error term in the asymptotic expansion can…

For any measure preserving system $(X,\mathcal{X},\mu,T)$ and $A\in\mathcal{X}$ with $\mu(A)>0$, we show that there exist infinitely many primes $p$ such that $\mu\bigl(A\cap T^{-(p-1)}A\cap T^{-2(p-1)}A\bigr) > 0$ (the same holds with…
