Let $\delta > 1/2$. We prove that if $A$ is a subset of the primes such that the relative density of $A$ in every reduced residue class is at least $\delta$, then almost all even integers can be written as the sum of two primes in $A$. The…

We provide an upper bound on the uniform exponent of approximation to a triple (xi, xi^2, xi^3) by rational numbers with the same denominator, valid for any transcendental real number xi. This upper bound refines a previous result of…

It has been conjectured for some time that, for any integer n\ge 2, any real number \epsilon >0 and any transcendental real number \xi, there would exist infinitely many algebraic integers \alpha of degree at most n with the property that…

Given an inhomogeneous quadratic form $Q_\xi(v)=Q(v+\xi)$ with $Q$ an indefinite $\mathbb{Q}$-isotropic rational ternary form and $\xi\in \mathbb{R}^3$ irrational, we prove an effective lower bound for the number of integer vectors $v\in…

In this paper we show that if $A$ is a subset of the primes with positive relative density $\delta$, then $A+A$ must have positive upper density $C_1\delta e^{-C_2(\log(1/\delta))^{2/3}(\log\log(1/\delta))^{1/3}}$ in $\mathbb{N}$. Our…

For a positive integer $n \geq 2$, define $t_n$ to be the smallest number such that the additive energy $E(A)$ of any subset $A \subset \{0,1,\cdots,n-1\}^d$ and any $d$ is at most $|A|^{t_n}$. Trivially we have $t_n \leq 3$ and $$ t_n \geq…

We provide an upper bound on the efficient irrationality exponents of cubic algebraics $x$ with the minimal polynomial $x^3 - tx^2 - a$. In particular, we show that it becomes non-trivial, i.e. better than the classical bound of Liouville…

The set of integers which can be written as the sum of four prime cubes has lower density at least $0.009664$. This improves earlier bounds of $0.003125$ by Ren and $0.005776$ by Liu.

We answer several questions of Erd\H{o}s regarding sequences of natural numbers $A$ whose translates $n+A$ intersect with the squarefree numbers in various specified ways. For instance, we show that if every translate only contains finitely…

An effective upper bound is established for the least non-trivial integer solution to the system of cubic forms \[ \begin{cases} F = c_{1}x_1^3 + c_{2}x_2^3 + \cdots + c_{n}x_n^3 = 0, \\ G = d_{1}x_1^3 + d_{2}x_2^3 + \cdots + d_{n}x_n^3 =…

Several asymptotic expansions and formulas for cubic exponential sums are derived. The expansions are most useful when the cubic coefficient is in a restricted range. This generalizes previous results in the quadratic case and helps to…

Motivated by modern applications like image processing and wireless sensor networks, we consider a variation of the famous Kepler Conjecture. Given any infinite set of unit balls covering the whole space, we want to know the optimal (lim…

In spite of the Lebesgue density theorem, there is a positive $\delta$ such that, for every non-trivial measurable set $S$ of real numbers, there is a point at which both the lower densities of $S$ and of the complement of $S$ are at least…

Let $\Delta$ be the optimal packing density of $\mathbb R^n$ by unit balls. We show the optimal packing density using two sizes of balls approaches $\Delta + (1 - \Delta) \Delta$ as the ratio of the radii tends to infinity. More generally,…

We establish that almost every positive integer $n$ is the sum of four cubes, two of which are at most $n^{\theta}$, as long as $\theta\geq192/869$. An asymptotic formula for the number of such representations is established when…

We improve the theoretical estimates of the critical exponents for the three-dimensional Heisenberg universality class. We find gamma=1.3960(9), nu=0.7112(5), eta=0.0375(5), alpha=-0.1336(15), beta=0.3689(3), and delta=4.783(3). We consider…

We study solutions to the equation $a+b=c$, where $a,b,c$ form a triple of coprime natural numbers. The $abc$ conjecture asserts that, for any $\epsilon>0$, such triples satisfy $\mathrm{rad}(abc) \ge c^{1-\epsilon}$ with finitely many…

We propose a novel approach for density estimation with exponential families for the case when the true density may not fall within the chosen family. Our approach augments the sufficient statistics with features designed to accumulate…

Let $k$ be a field of arbitrary characteristic, $A$ be a domain and $K=\mathrm{frac}(A)$. Then (1) All exponential maps of $k^{[3]}$ are rigid, and we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the triangularity of $\delta \in…

For a finite set $A\subset \mathbb{R}^d$, let $\Delta(A)$ denote the spread of $A$, which is the ratio of the maximum pairwise distance to the minimum pairwise distance. For a positive integer $n$, let $\gamma_d(n)$ denote the largest…
