Motivated by Emmanuel Kowalski's exponential sums over definable sets in finite fields, we generalize Ax's theorem on pseudo-finite fields to a continuous-logic setting allowing for an additive character. The role played by Weil's Riemann…
In this paper, we study the characters of homogeneous monotonic P-polynomial table algebras with finite dimension d>=5. We then apply them to association schemes. To this end, we develop some methods using tridiagonal matrices and…
In this paper we derive characterizations of boundedness of the subsequences of partial sums with respect to Vilenkin system on the martingale Hardy spaces when $ 0<p<1 $. Moreover, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the…
In recent years some near-optimal estimates have been established for certain sum-product type estimates. This paper gives some first extremal results which provide information about when these bounds may or may not be tight. The main tool…
A conjecture connected with quantum physics led N. Katz to discover some amazing mixed character sum identities over a field of $q$ elements, where $q$ is a power of a prime $p>3$. His proof required deep algebro-geometric techniques, and…
In this paper, we obtain a Schwartz-Zippel type estimate for homogenous finite field polynomials. Specifically, we use a probabilistic recursion technique to find upper and lower bounds for the number of zeros of a homogenous polynomial and…
We present upper bounds on certain sums which are related to Artin's primitive root conjecture and are also used in counting ray class characters.

For integer $q$, let $\chi$ be a primitive multiplicative character$\pmod q.$ For integer $a$ coprime to $q$, we obtain a new bound for the sums $$\sum_{n\le N}\Lambda(n)\chi(n+a),$$ where $\Lambda(n)$ is the von Mangoldt function. This…
Let $G$ be a finite $p$-solvable group, where $p$ is an odd prime. We establish a connection between extendible irreducible characters of subgroups of $G$ that lie under monomial characters of $G$ and nilpotent subgroups of $G$. We also…
In this paper we study the set of rational solutions of equations defined by power sums symmetric polynomials with coefficients in a finite field. We do this by means of applying a methodology which relies on the study of the geometry of…
We aim to characterise boundedness of commutators $[b,T]$ of singular integrals $T$. Boundedness is studied between weighted Lebesgue spaces $L^p(X)$ and $L^q(X)$, $p\leq q$, when the underlying space $X$ is a space of homogeneous type.…
We characterize the set of positive harmonic functions with Dirichlet boundary conditions in unbounded domains which are union of several different chambers. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of the solutions in connection with the changes…
We refine and extend quantitative bounds, on the fraction of nonnegative polynomials that are sums of squares, to the multihomogenous case.
The expansion of bivariate polynomials is well-understood for sets with a linear-sized product set. In contrast, not much is known for sets with small sumset. In this work, we provide expansion bounds for polynomials of the form $f(x, y) =…
Let $\chi$ be a primitive character modulo $q$, and let $\delta > 0$. Assuming that $\chi$ has large order $d$, for any $d$th root of unity $\alpha$ we obtain non-trivial upper bounds for the number of $n \leq x$ such that $\chi(n) =…
Let X be a finite set of points in R^n. A polynomial p nonnegative on X can be written as a sum of squares of rational functions modulo the vanishing ideal I(X). From the point of view of applications, such as polynomial optimization, we…
We initiate the study of fine $p$-(super)minimizers, associated with $p$-harmonic functions, on finely open sets in metric spaces, where $1 < p < \infty$. After having developed their basic theory, we obtain the $p$-fine continuity of the…
We investigate Dirichlet-type series generated by representation functions that count the number of ways an integer can be expressed as a sum of 'k' signed higher even powers. By combining generalized theta generating functions with a…
We consider multivariable polynomials over a fixed number field, linear in some of the variables. For a system of such polynomials satisfying certain technical conditions we prove the existence of search bounds for simultaneous zeros with…
