We prove explicit bounds for the number of sums of consecutive prime squares below a given magnitude.

The Brun-Titchmarsh theorem shows that the number of primes $\le x$ which are congruent to $a\pmod{q}$ is $\le (C+o(1))x/(\phi(q)\log{x})$ for some value $C$ depending on $\log{x}/\log{q}$. Different authors have provided different…

Let $A^2(D)$ be the Bergman space over the open unit disk $D$ in the complex plane. Korenblum conjectured that there is an absolute constant $c \in (0,1)$ such that whenever $|f(z)|\le |g(z)|$ in the annulus $c<|z|<1$ then $||f(z)|| \le…

We give a reciprocity formula for a two-variable sum where the variables satisfy a linear congruence condition. We also prove that such sum is a measure of how well a rational is approximable from below and show that the reciprocity formula…

Let A be a finite nonempty subset of an additive abelian group G, and let \Sigma(A) denote the set of all group elements representable as a sum of some subset of A. We prove that |\Sigma(A)| >= |H| + 1/64 |A H|^2 where H is the stabilizer…

The Bounded Negativity Conjecture predicts that for any smooth complex surface $X$ there exists a lower bound for the selfintersection of reduced divisors on $X$. This conjecture is open. It is also not known if the existence of such a…

Given a large finite point set, $P\subset \mathbb R^2$, we obtain upper bounds on the number of triples of points that determine a given pair of dot products. That is, for any pair of positive real numbers, $(\alpha, \beta)$, we bound the…

For a prime number p greater than 6000, the Olson's constant for the group Z_p+Z_p is given by Ol(Z_p+Z_p)=p-1+Ol(Z_p).

The Bruss-Robertson inequality gives a bound on the maximal number of elements of a random sample whose sum is less than a specified value, and the extension of that inequality which is given here neither requires the independence of the…

For $p\in (1,+\infty)$ and $b \in (0, +\infty]$ the $p$-torsion function with Robin boundary conditions associated to an arbitrary open set $\Om \subset \R^m$ satisfies formally the equation $-\Delta_p =1$ in $\Om$ and $|\nabla u|^{p-2}…

The conditional density of Brownian motion is considered given the max, B(t|\max), as well as those with additional information: B(t|close, max), B(t|close, max, min) and B(t|max, min) where the close is the final value: B(t=1)=c and t in…

We introduce remarkable upper bounds for the interpolation error constants on triangles, which are sharp and given by simple formulas. These constants are crucial in analyzing interpolation errors, particularly those associated with the…

If n is a positive integer, let h(n) denote the maximal value of the product of distinct primes whose sum does not exceed n. We give some properties of this function h and describe an algorithm able to compute h(n) for large values of n.

The discrepancy of a binary string refers to the maximum (absolute) difference between the number of ones and the number of zeroes over all possible substrings of the given binary string. We provide an investigation of the discrepancy of…

The triangular elliptic operators are natural extensions of the elliptic deformation of circular operators. We obtain a Brown measure formula for the sum of a triangular elliptic operator $g_{_{\alpha, \beta, \gamma}}$ with a random…

Weprovide an upper bound for generalized Littlewood-Richardson coefficients $c^w_{uv}$, where $u$ is a two-row Young diagram corresponding to a Grassmannian permutation. We end with a conjecture on the upper bounds for all such structure…

In a landmark paper on arithmetical properties of Lambert series, Erd\H{o}s proved that $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{2^{n} - 1}$ is irrational. This value $E$ is now referred to as the Erd\H{o}s-Borwein constant. Crandall, in 2012, studied…

In the theory of extreme values of Gaussian processes, many results are expressed in terms of the Pickands constant $\mathcal{H}_{\alpha}$. This constant depends on the local self-similarity exponent $\alpha$ of the process, i.e. locally it…

The current observational and experimental bounds on the time variation of the constants of nature (the fine structure constant $\alpha$, the gravitational constant $G$ and the proton-electron mass ratio $\mu=m_p/m_e$) are reviewed.

We describe here, for the first time, a lower bound on the total number of fundamental constants required for a mathematical description of our physical universe to be complete. The answer is shown to be one. The formal arithmetized…
