Let $\gamma_n$ ($n\in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge0}$) be a sequence of complex numbers, which is tame: $0<\exists u\le \gamma_{n-1}/\gamma_n \le \exists v<\infty$ for all $n>0$. We show a resonance between the singularities of the function of the power…

For a fixed integer $k \ge 0$, consider representations of positive integers as sums of binomial coefficients of the form $\binom{n}{k}$. While exact minimal bounds for the number of required summands are known only in a few low-dimensional…

The tensor square conjecture states that for $n \geq 10$, there is an irreducible representation $V$ of the symmetric group $S_n$ such that $V \otimes V$ contains every irreducible representation of $S_n$. Our main result is that for large…

In this paper, we introduce and develop the notion of spanning of integers along functions $f:\mathbb{N}\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$. We apply this method to a class of problems that requires to determine if the equations of the form…

Erd\H os and R\'{e}nyi claimed and Vu proved that for all $h \ge 2$ and for all $\epsilon > 0$, there exists $g = g_h(\epsilon)$ and a sequence of integers $A$ such that the number of ordered representations of any number as a sum of $h$…

We obtain a uniform ergodic theorem for the sequence $\frac1{s(n)} \sum_{k=0}^n(\varDelta s)(n-k)\,T^k$, where $\varDelta$ is the inverse of the endomorphism on the vector space of scalar sequences which maps each sequence into the sequence…

We study recurrence, and multiple recurrence, properties along the $k$-th powers of a given set of integers. We show that the property of recurrence for some given values of $k$ does not give any constraint on the recurrence for the other…

Let $E \subset \mathbb{Z}^N$ be a set of positive upper Banach density and let $\Gamma < \operatorname{GL}_N(\mathbb{Z})$ be a finitely generated, strongly irreducible subgroup whose Zariski closure in $\operatorname{GL}_N(\mathbb{R})$ is a…

We show that an arithmetic function which satisfies some weak multiplicativity properties and in addition has a non-decreasing or $\log$-uniformly continuous normal order is close to a function of the form $n\mapsto n^c$. As an application…

For each $n$, let $U_n$ be Haar distributed on the group of $n\times n$ unitary matrices. Let $\bfx_{n,1},\ldots,\bfx_{n,m} $ denote orthogonal nonrandom unit vectors in ${\Bbb C}^n$ and let $\text{\bf…

We prove that there are infinitely many $n$ such that $\omega(n+k) \ll \log k$ for all integers $k \ge 2$. This improves on a result of Tao-Ter\"{a}v\"{a}inen (2025), who has $O(k)$ in place of $O(\log k)$. As corollaries, we make progress…

We improve the large sieve inequality with $k$th-power moduli, for all $k\ge 4$. Our method relates these inequalities to a restricted variant of Waring's problem. Firstly, we input a classical divisor bound on the number of representations…

Let $\Lambda(n)$ be the von Mangoldt function, $x$ real and $2\leq y \leq x$. This paper improves the estimate on the exponential sum over primes in short intervals \[ S_k(x,y;\alpha) = \sum_{x< n \leq x+y} \Lambda(n) e\left( n^k \alpha…

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…

Gerard and Washington proved that, for $k > -1$, the number of primes less than $x^{k+1}$ can be well approximated by summing the $k$-th powers of all primes up to $x$. We extend this result to primes in arithmetic progressions: we prove…

Suppose that $\mathcal{X}$ is a sequentially complete Hausdorff locally convex space over a scalar field $\mathbb{K}$, $V$ is a bounded subset of $\mathcal{X}$, $(a_n)_{n\ge 0}$ is a sequence in $\mathbb{K}\setminus\{0\}$ with the property\…

We introduce the sequence $(i_n)_{n \geq 0}$ defined by $i_n = (-1)^{inv_2(n)}$, where $inv_2(n)$ denotes the number of inversions (i.e., occurrences of 10 as a scattered subsequence) in the binary representation of n. We show that this…

Examples are constructed of sparse subsequences of the integers for which the associated maximal averages operator is of weak type (1,1). A consequence, by transference, is that an almost everywhere L^1 -- type ergodic theorem holds for…

Let v and w be nontrivial words in two free groups. We prove that, for all sufficiently large finite non-abelian simple groups G, there exist subsets C of v(G) and D of w(G) of size such that every element of G can be realized in at least…

We say that the order of an algebraic number $A$ is the minimum of positive integers $k$ such that $A^k$ is rational. In this paper, we show that the number of algebraic numbers $A$ with order $k$ such that \[ A,\ A^A,\ A^{A^A},\ \ldots \]…
