Let $\Lambda$ be a subgroup of an arithmetic lattice in SO(n+1,1). The quotient $\mathbb{H}^{n+1} / \Lambda$ has a natural family of congruence covers corresponding to primes in some ring of integers. We establish a super-strong…

We find two convergent series expansions for Legendre's first incomplete elliptic integral $F(\lambda,k)$ in terms of recursively computed elementary functions. Both expansions are valid at every point of the unit square $0<\lambda,k<1$.…

Let $\gamma: [0,1] \to [0,1]^2$ be a continuous curve such that $\gamma(0)=(0,0)$, $\gamma(1)=(1,1)$, and $\gamma(t) \in (0,1)^2$ for all $t\in (0,1)$. We prove that, for each $n \in \mathbb{N}$, there exists a sequence of points $A_i$,…

For a complex number $x$, $\Vert x\Vert:=\min\{|x-m|:m\in\mathbb{Z}\}$. Let $k\geq 1$ be an integer, and $K$ be a number field. Let $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_k$ be algebraic numbers with $|\alpha_i|\geq 1$ and let $d_i$ denotes the degree of…

Let $F_1=1,F_2=1,\ldots$ be the Fibonacci sequence. Motivated by the identity $\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{F_{2^k}}=\frac{7-\sqrt{5}}{2}$, Erd\"os and Graham asked whether $\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{F_{n_k}}$ is…

Given an irrational alpha and an x in the unit interval, the set of balanced times, for which the same number of (k*alpha+x) (modulo one) are less than or equal to one half as are larger than one half, is in general infinite, but sparse in…

We show that if $A=\{a_1,a_2,..., a_k\}$ is a monotone increasing set of numbers, and the differences of the consecutive elements are all distinct, then $|A+B|\geq c|A|^{1/2}|B|$ for any finite set of numbers $B$. The bound is tight up to…

We show that whenever $s>k(k+1)$, then for any complex sequence $(\mathfrak a_n)_{n\in \mathbb Z}$, one has $$\int_{[0,1)^k}\left| \sum_{|n|\le N}\mathfrak a_ne(\alpha_1n+\ldots +\alpha_kn^k) \right|^{2s}\,{\rm d}{\mathbf \alpha}\ll…

The aim of this paper is to give an overview of some inequalities about $L^p$-norms ($p= 1$ or $p= 2$) of harmonic (periodic) and non-harmonic trigonometric polynomials. Among the material covered, we mention Ingham's Inequality about 2…

We give a simple proof of the fact that - in all dimensions - there are no homogeneous solutions to the thin obstacle problem with frequency $\lambda$ belonging to intervals of the form $(2k,2k+1)$, $k \in \mathbb{N}$. In particular, there…

Let $p(z)=a_0+a_1z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots+a_nz^n$ be a polynomial of degree $n$ having no zeros in the unit disk. ~Then it is well known that for $R\geq 1,$ $\displaystyle{\max_{|z|=R}|p(z)|}\leq…

For a natural number $N\geq 2$ and a real $\alpha$ such that $0 < \alpha \leq \sqrt{N}-1$, we define $I_\alpha:=[\alpha,\alpha+1]$ and $I_\alpha^-:=[\alpha,\alpha+1)$ and investigate the continued fraction map $T_\alpha:I_\alpha \to…

We prove that given $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $0 < \lambda < 1$, then $\pi(x + x^\lambda) - \pi(x) \sim \displaystyle \frac{x^\lambda}{\log(x)}$. This solves a long-standing problem concerning the existence of primes in short…

A beautiful theorem of Zeckendorf states that every positive integer has a unique decomposition as a sum of non-adjacent Fibonacci numbers. Such decompositions exist more generally, and much is known about them. First, for any positive…

We find two series expansions for Legendre's second incomplete elliptic integral $E(\lambda, k)$ in terms of recursively computed elementary functions. Both expansions converge at every point of the unit square in the $(\lambda, k)$ plane.…

We address a special case of a conjecture of M. Talagrand relating two notions of "threshold" for an increasing family $\mathcal F$ of subsets of a finite set $V$. The full conjecture implies equivalence of the "Fractional…

We adapt an argument of Tao and Vu to show that if $\lambda_1\le\cdots\le\lambda_d$ are the successive minima of an origin-symmetric convex body $K$ with respect to some lattice $\Lambda<\mathbb{R}^d$, and if we set…

Suppose $\Lambda$ is a discrete infinite set of nonnegative real numbers. We say that $ {\Lambda}$ is type $1$ if the series $s(x)=\sum_{\lambda\in\Lambda}f(x+\lambda)$ satisfies a zero-one law. This means that for any non-negative…

We give a short and elementary argument answering a question of Erd\H{o}s and Ingham negatively. Erd\H{o}s and Ingham showed that a Tauberian estimate they considered was equivalent to the non-vanishing of $1+\sum_{k}a_k^{-1-it}$ for any…

We consider a translation and dilation invariant system consisting of k diagonal equations of degrees 1,2,...,k with integer coefficients in s variables, where s is sufficiently large in terms of k. We show via the Hardy-Littlewood circle…
