Estimating nonlinear functionals of probability distributions from samples is a fundamental statistical problem. The "plug-in" estimator obtained by applying the target functional to the empirical distribution of samples is biased.…
We establish arithmetical properties and provide essential bounds for bi-sequences of approximation coefficients associated with the natural extension of maps, leading to continued fraction-like expansions. These maps are realized as the…
We give a number theoretic proof of the integrality of certain BPS invariants of knots. The formulas for these numbers are sums involving binomial coefficients and the M\"obius function. We also prove a conjecture about further divisibility…
We consider the set $\mathcal{R}_\mathrm{io}$ of points returning infinitely many times to a sequence of shrinking targets around themselves. Under additional assumptions we improve Boshernitzan's pioneering result on the speed of…
We prove a strong simultaneous Diophantine approximation theorem for values of additive and multiplicative functions provided that the functions have certain regularity on the primes.
We show that all $q$-semimultiplicative sequences are asymptotically orthogonal to the M\"obius function, thus proving the Sarnak conjecture for this class of sequences. This generalises analogous results for the sum-of-digits function and…
We answer two questions of Kra, Moreira, Richter and Robertson regarding the existence of infinite sumsets of the form $B + C$ in dense and sparse sets of integers and the relation of sumsets to sets of recurrence. We then further…
Diaconis and Gamburd computed moments of secular coefficients in the CUE ensemble. We use the characteristic map to give a new combinatorial proof of their result. We also extend their computation to moments of traces of symmetric powers,…
We show that a general miraculous cancellation formula, the divisibility of certain characteristic numbers and some other topologiclal results are con- sequences of the modular invariance of elliptic operators on loop spaces. Previously we…
We prove that the uniform recurrence of morphic sequences is decidable. For this we show that the number of derived sequences of uniformly recurrent morphic sequences is bounded. As a corollary we obtain that uniformly recurrent morphic…
We consider two decision problems for linear recurrence sequences (LRS) over the integers, namely the Positivity Problem (are all terms of a given LRS positive?) and the Ultimate Positivity Problem} (are all but finitely many terms of a…
By using exclusively real analysis, we give explicit estimates of some classical summatory functions involving the M\"obius function.
In $\mathcal L$, the semilattice of faces of an $n$-cube, we count the number of automorphisms of $\mathcal L$ that fix a given subalgebra -- either pointwise or as a subalgebra. By using M\"obius inversion we get a formula for the number…
We combine an extended version of Bailey's transform with an identity of Bressoud and with some identities of Berkovich and Warnaar to prove a variety of positivity results for alternating sums involving partition functions.
For any given positive definite binary quadratic form $Q$ with integer coefficients, we establish two results on Diophantine approximation with integers represented by $Q$. Firstly, we show that for every irrational number $\alpha$, there…
Under certain conditions, we prove that the Moore-Penrose inverse of a sum of operators is the sum of the Moore-Penrose inverses. From this, we derive expressions and characterizations for the Moore-Penrose inverse of an operator that are…
We formalise the undecidability of solvability of Diophantine equations, i.e. polynomial equations over natural numbers, in Coq's constructive type theory. To do so, we give the first full mechanisation of the…
Recursive formulas are derived for the number of solutions of linear and quadratic Diophantine equations with positive coefficients. This result is further extended to general non-linear additive Diophantine equations. It is shown that all…
We show that there are only finitely many triples of integers $ 0 < a < b < c $ such that the product of any two of them is the value of a given polynomial with integer coefficients evaluated at an $ S $-unit that is also a positive…
We consider the enumeration of tropical curves in M\"obius strips for two different lattice structures and relate them to the enumeration of curves in two rational ruled surfaces over a complex elliptic curve. Using this correspondence, we…
