We apply recent progress on Vinogradov's mean value theorem to improve bounds for the function $H(k)$ in the Waring-Goldbach problem. We obtain new results for all exponents $k \ge 7$, and in particular establish that for large $k$ one has…

We prove the following superexponential distribution inequality: for any integrable $g$ on $[0,1)^{d}$ with zero average, and any $\lambda>0$ \[ |\{ x \in [0,1)^{d} \; :\; g \geq\lambda \}| \leq e^{-…

In this paper we give a short interval version of the Balog-Ruzsa theorem concerning bounds for the $L_1$ norm of the exponential sum over $r$-free numbers. As an application, we give a lower bound for the $L_1$ norm of the exponential sum…

Recent progress on Vinogradov's mean value theorem has resulted in improved estimates for exponential sums of Weyl type. We apply these new estimates to obtain sharper bounds for the function $H(k)$ in the Waring--Goldbach problem. We…

Let $p$ be a prime, let $s \geq 3$ be a natural number and let $A \subseteq \mathbb{F}_p$ be a non-empty set satisfying $|A| \ll p^{1/2}$. Denoting $J_s(A)$ to be the number of solutions to the system of equations \[ \sum_{i=1}^{s} (x_i -…

In the present paper, we derive a renormalization formula "\`a la Hardy-Littlewood" for the Gaussian exponential sums with an exact formula for the remainder term. We use this formula to describe the typical growth of the Gaussian…

We establish improved mean value estimates associated with the number of integer solutions of certain systems of diagonal equations, in some instances attaining the sharpest conjectured conclusions. This is the first occasion on which…

We apply a nested variant of multigrade efficient congruencing to estimate mean values related to that of Vinogradov. We show that when $\varphi_j\in \mathbb Z[t]$ $(1\le j\le k)$ is a system of polynomials with non-vanishing Wronskian, and…

In this paper, we obtain some improved results for the exponential sum $\sum_{x<n\leq 2x}\Lambda(n)e(\alpha k n^{\theta})$ with $\theta\in(0,5/12),$ where $\Lambda(n)$ is the von Mangoldt function. Such exponential sums have relations with…

We obtain asymptotic for the quantity $\int_0^1 \bigg|\sum_{n\le X}\tau_k(n)e(n\alpha)\bigg|d\alpha$ where $\tau_k(n) = \sum_{d_1\dots d_k = n} 1$. This follows from a quick application of the circle method. Along the way, we find minor arc…

We obtain new mean value theorems for exponential sums with very smooth numbers, which provide a power saving against the trivial bound in region where previous bounds do not apply.

Improving and extending recent results of the author, we conditionally estimate exponential sums with Dirichlet coefficients of L-functions, both over all integers and over all primes in an interval. In particular, we establish new…

We study the average shifted convolution sum $$ B(H,N):= \frac{1}{H} \sum_{h \sim H} \sum_{n \sim N} A_{\pi_1}(n)\, A_{\pi_2}(n+h), $$ where $A_{\pi_i}(n)$ denotes the Fourier coefficients of a Hecke--Maass cusp form $\pi_i$ for…

We provide a new hybrid estimation of single exponential sums, combining Van der Corput, Huxley and Bourgain's result. We also focus on primes in short intervals $(x-x^{\alpha},x]$ under the assumption of the existence of exceptional…

The purpose of this paper is to obtain asymptotics of shifted sums of Hecke eigenvalue squares on average. We show that for $X^{\frac{2}{3}+\epsilon} < H <X^{1-\epsilon},$ there are constants $B_{h}$ such that $$ \sum_{X\leq n \leq 2X}…

We give an upper bound for the exponential $\sum_{m=1}^M \exp( 2i\pi f (m))$ in terms of $M$ and $\lambda$, where $\lambda$ is a small positive number which denotes the size of the fourth derivative of the real valued function $f$. The…

We use decoupling theory to prove a sharp (up to $N^\epsilon$ losses) estimate for Vinogradov's mean value theorem in two dimensions

In this paper, we develop a method of evaluating general exponential sums with rational amplitude functions for multiple variables which complements works by T. Cochrane and Z. Zheng on the single variable case. As an application, for…

Let $\Lambda$ be the von Mangoldt function and $r_{\textit{HL}}(n) = \sum_{m_1 + m_2^2 = n} \Lambda(m_1),$ be the counting function for the Hardy-Littlewood numbers. Let $N$ be a sufficiently large integer. We prove that…
