We prove that an innocent looking inequality implies the Riemann Hypothesis and show a way to approach this inequality through sums of Legendre symbols.

Using Schmidt's Subspace Theorem, this paper improves and extends an existing transcendence result for sequences of algebraic numbers. The theorems thus produced correspond to a central theorem on the irrationality of sequences due to…

This is an expository note discussing how the Erdos--Ramanujan proof of Bertrand's postulate may be adapted to show the existence of finite fields.

Let $\{p_j(n)\}_{j=1}^{\omega(n)}$ denote the increasing sequence of distinct prime factors of an integer $n$. We provide details for the proof of a statement of Erd\H{o}s implying that, for any function $\xi(n)$ tending to infinity with…

We prove the Erdos-Turan equidistribution inequality, using a construction due to Chebyshev, Markov, and Stieltjes. The method is applicable in a more general setting. As an example, we state another inequality that can be proved using this…

Let \(d_k(p)\) denote the natural density of positive integers whose \(k\)-th smallest prime divisor is \(p\). Erd\H{o}s asked whether, for each fixed \(k\), the sequence \(p\mapsto d_k(p)\) is unimodal as \(p\) ranges over the primes.…

We study a weighted version of Carleman's inequality via Carleman's original approach. As an application of our result, we prove a conjecture of Bennett.

We consider the Ehrhart polynomial of hypersimplices. It is proved that these polynomials have positive coefficients and we give a combinatorial formula for each of them. This settles a problem posed by Stanley and also proves that uniform…

We propose a criterion of equidistribution by the differentiability of certain arithmetic invariants. Combined with the slope method and the asymptotic measures, this criterion gives a new "conceptual" proof to equidistribution results…

We prove Ehrhard's inequality using interpolation along the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semi-group. We also provide an improved Jensen inequality for Gaussian variables that might be of independent interest.

We find a polynomial in three variables whose values at nonnegative integers satisfy the Erd\H{o}s-Straus Conjecture. Although the perfect squares are not covered by these values, it allows us to prove that there are arbitrarily long…

This paper gives a proof of the H\"older Inequality by using supersolutions of the Heat Equation. The proof is based on a monotonicity formula for the heat equation presented in Tobias Colding's lectures at MIT.

In this paper we deal with Diophantine equations involving products of consecutive integers, inspired by a question of Erd\H{o}s and Graham.

We present an abstract form of the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality that includes several known -and a few new- related functional inequalities on Euclidean spaces. The method of proof and also the formulation of the new inequalities are based…

Erd\H{o}s asked whether there are infinitely many finite sets of distinct primes $p_1<\cdots<p_k$ and positive integers $m$ such that \begin{equation}\label{eq:erdos-original} \frac1{p_1}+\cdots+\frac1{p_k}=1-\frac1m. \end{equation} This is…

The aim of the present article is to explore the possibilities of representing positive integers as sums of other positive integers and highlight certain fundamental connections between their multiplicative and additive properties. In…

We present a pathwise proof of the HWI inequality which is based on en-tropic interpolations rather than displacement ones. Unlike the latter, entropic interpolations are regular both in space and time. Consequently, our approach is closer…

We first present a modern simple proof of the classical ergodic Birkhoff's theorem and Bourgain's homogeneous bilinear ergodic theorem. This proof used the simple fact that the shift map on integers has a simple Lebesgue spectrum. As a…

Baiocchi et al. generalized a few years ago a classical theorem of Ingham and Beurling by means of divided differences. The optimality of their assumption has been proven by the third author of this note. The purpose of this note to extend…

We show that for large integers $n$, whose ratios of consecutive divisors are bounded above by an arbitrary constant, the number of prime factors follows an approximate normal distribution, with mean $C \log_2 n$ and variance $V \log_2 n$,…
