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 give a slight refinement to the process by which estimates for exponential sums are extracted from bounds for Vinogradov's mean value. Coupling this with the recent works of Wooley, and of Bourgain, Demeter and Guth, providing optimal…

Given a family $\varphi= (\varphi_1, \ldots, \varphi_d)\in \mathbb{Z}[T]^d$ of $d$ distinct nonconstant polynomials, a positive integer $k\le d$ and a real positive parameter $\rho$, we consider the mean value $$ M_{k, \rho} (\varphi, N) =…
