Let $\psi: \mathbb{N} \to [0,1/2]$ be given. The Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture, recently resolved by Koukoulopoulos and Maynard, asserts that for almost all reals $\alpha$ there are infinitely many coprime solutions $(p,q)$ to the inequality…
In this paper analyzes \textit{The Erd\H{o}s-Straus conjecture} asserts that $f$$(n)$ $>$ 0 for every $n$ $\geq$ 2, where $f(n)$ indicates the number of solutions to the Diophantine Equation…
Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be real numbers such that $1$, $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are linearly independent over $\mathbb{Q}$. A classical result of Dirichlet asserts that there are infinitely many triples of integers $(x_0,x_1,x_2)$ such that…
This paper is intended as a sequel to a paper arXiv:0803.2636 written by four of the coauthors here. In the paper, they proved a stronger form of the Erd\H{o}s-Mirksy conjecture which states that there are infinitely many positive integers…
Let $\mathcal{L}$ be the closure of the set of all real numbers $\alpha$, such that there exist infinitely many integers $n$, such that $\alpha=\log\frac{d(n+1)}{d(n)}$, where $d$ is the number of divisors of $n$. We give improved lower…
We consider several old problems involving the number of prime divisors function $\omega(n)$, as well as the related functions $\Omega(n)$ and $\tau(n)$. Firstly, we show that there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that…
We prove that if a set is `large' in the sense of Erd\H{o}s, then it approximates arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions in a strong quantitative sense. More specifically, expressing the error in the approximation in terms of the gap…
Let $\varepsilon>0$. We construct an explicit, full-measure set of $\alpha \in[0,1]$ such that if $\gamma \in \mathbb{R}$ then, for almost all $\beta \in[0,1]$, if $\delta \in \mathbb{R}$ then there are infinitely many integers $n\geq 1$…
We establish that the set of pairs $(\alpha, \beta)$ of real numbers such that $$ \liminf_{q \to + \infty} q \cdot (\log q)^2 \cdot \Vert q \alpha \Vert \cdot \Vert q \beta \Vert > 0, $$ where $\Vert \cdot \Vert$ denotes the distance to the…
Let $f(N)$ denote the least integer $k$ such that, if $G$ is an abelian group of order $N$ and $A \subseteq G$ is a uniformly random $k$-element subset, then with probability at least $\tfrac12$ the subset-sum set $\{ \sum_{x \in S} x : S…
Let $(G_n)_{n\geqslant 0}$ be a linear recurrence sequence defining a numeration system and satisfying mild structural hypotheses. For real-valued G-additive functions (additive in the greedy G-digits), we establish an…
Let $d(n)$ denote the number of divisors of a positive integer $n$. A classical problem in analytic number theory is given by the asymptotic behavior of the divisor sum $\sum_{n \leq x} \frac{1}{d(n)}$, with Ramanujan having introduced an…
We prove that if $A \subseteq [X, 2X]$ and $B \subseteq [Y, 2Y]$ are sets of integers such that $\gcd(a,b) \geq D$ for at least $\delta |A||B|$ pairs $(a,b) \in A \times B$ then $|A||B| \ll_{\varepsilon} \delta^{-2 - \varepsilon} XY/D^2$.…
We consider some coloring issues related to the famous Erd\H {o}s Discrepancy Problem. A set of the form $A_{s,k}=\{s,2s,\dots,ks\}$, with $s,k\in \mathbb{N}$, is called a \emph{homogeneous arithmetic progression}. We prove that for every…
The Erd\H{o}s discrepancy problem, now a theorem by T. Tao, asks whether every sequence with values plus or minus one has unbounded discrepancy along all homogeneous arithmetic progressions. We establish weighted variants of this problem,…
According to the Erd\H{o}s discrepancy conjecture, for any infinite $\pm 1$ sequence, there exists a homogeneous arithmetic progression of unbounded discrepancy. In other words, for any $\pm 1$ sequence $(x_1,x_2,...)$ and a discrepancy…
Recently, the authors showed that for every irrational number $\alpha$, there exist infinitely many positive integers $n$ represented by any given positive definite binary quadratic form $Q$, satisfying $||\alpha n||<n^{-(1/2-\varepsilon)}$…
In their seminal paper from 1983, Erd\H{o}s and Szemer\'edi showed that any $n$ distinct integers induce either $n^{1+\epsilon}$ distinct sums of pairs or that many distinct products, and conjectured a lower bound of $n^{2-o(1)}$. They…
In a previous paper, the authors proved that in any system of three linear forms satisfying obvious necessary local conditions, there are at least two forms that infinitely often assume $E_2$-values; i.e., values that are products of…
For any $\beta > 1$, denoted by $r_n(x,\beta)$ the maximal length of consecutive zeros amongst the first $n$ digits of the $\beta$-expansion of $x\in[0,1]$. The limit superior (respectively limit inferior) of $\frac{r_n(x,\beta)}{n}$ is…
