Let B be a p-uniformly convex Banach space, with p >= 2. Let T be a linear operator on B, and let A_n x denote the ergodic average (1 / n) sum_{i< n} T^n x. We prove the following variational inequality in the case where T is power bounded…

Let $\omega(n)$ denote the number of distinct prime factors of $n$. Assuming a suitably uniform version of the prime $k$-tuples conjecture, we show that the number \begin{align*} \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{\omega(n)}{2^n} \end{align*} is…

The Erdos-Kac theorem, a foundational result in probabilistic number theory, states that the number of prime factors of an integer follows a Gaussian distribution. In this paper we develop and analyze probabilistic models for "random…

We provide an ergodic theorem for certain Banach-space valued functions on structures over $\ZZ^d$, which allow for existence of frequencies of finite patterns. As an application we obtain existence of the integrated density of states for…

We introduce a general class $F_0$ of additive functions $f$ such that $f(p) = 1$ and prove a tight bound for exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n \le x} f(n) e(\alpha n)$ where $f \in F_0$ and $e(\theta) = \exp(2\pi i \theta)$. Both…

We study the convergence of the so-called entangled ergodic averages $\frac{1}{N^k}\sum_{n_1,...,n_k=1}^{N}T_m^{n_{\alpha(m)}}A_{m-1}T_{m-1}^{n_{\alpha(m-1)}}A_{m-2}...A_1T_1^{n_{\alpha(1)}},$ where $k\leq m$ and…

Let $\omega^*(n) = \{d|n: d=p-1, \mbox{$p$ is a prime}\}$. We show that, for each integer $k\geq2$, $$ \sum_{n\leq x}\omega^*(n)^k \asymp x(\log x)^{2^k-k-1}, $$ where the implied constant may depend on $k$ only. This confirms a recent…

We prove a pointwise convergence result for additive ergodic averages associated with certain multiplicative actions of the Gaussian integers. We derive several applications in dynamics and number theory, including: (i) Wirsing's theorem…

Let $2 \leq y \leq x$ such that $\beta := \frac{\log x}{\log y} \rightarrow \infty$. Let $\omega_y(n)$ denote the number of distinct prime factors $p$ of $n$ such that $p \leq y$, and let $\mu_y(n) := \mu^2(n)(-1)^{\omega_y(n)}$, where…

In 2022, using methods from ergodic theory, Kra, Moreira, Richter, and Robertson resolved a longstanding conjecture of Erd\H{o}s about sumsets in large subsets of the natural numbers. In this paper, we extend this result to several…

Let (X,d) be a metric space and (\Omega, d) a compact subspace of X which supports a non-atomic finite measure m. We consider `natural' classes of badly approximable subsets of \Omega. Loosely speaking, these consist of points in \Omega…

For any set $A$ of natural numbers with positive upper Banach density and any $k\geq 1$, we show the existence of an infinite set $B\subset{\mathbb N}$ and a shift $t\geq0$ such that $A-t$ contains all sums of $m$ distinct elements from $B$…

We examine oscillations in a number of sums of arithmetic functions involving $\Omega(n)$, the total number of prime factors of $n$, and $\omega(n)$, the number of distinct prime factors of $n$. In particular, we examine oscillations in…

Let $f(n)$ be the number of distinct exponents in the prime factorization of the natural number $n$. We prove some results about the distribution of $f(n)$. In particular, for any positive integer $k$, we obtain that $$ \#\{n \leq x : f(n)…

For a positive integer $n>1$ denote by $\omega(n)$ the maximal possible number $k$ of different functions $f_1,\dots,f_k:\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}\mapsto \mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ such that each function $f_i-f_j,i<j$, is bijective. Recently A.…
