With probability 1, we assess the average behaviour of various arithmetic functions at the values of degree d polynomials f that are ordered by height. This allows us to establish averaged versions of the Bateman-Horn conjecture, the…

The Bateman--Horn Conjecture predicts how often an irreducible polynomial $f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ assumes prime values. We demonstrate that with sufficient averaging in the coefficients of $f$ (viz. exponential in the size of the inputs),…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. A well known conjecture of Chowla asserts that for any distinct natural numbers $h_1,\dots,h_k$, one has $\sum_{1 \leq n \leq X} \lambda(n+h_1) \dotsm \lambda(n+h_k) = o(X)$ as $X \to \infty$.…

We generalize a result of Matom\"aki, Radziwi{\l}{\l}, and Tao, by proving an averaged version of a conjecture of Chowla and a conjecture of Elliott regarding correlations of the Liouville function, or more general bounded multiplicative…

In 'Tractable semi-algebraic approximation using Christoffel-Darboux kernel' Marx, Pauwels, Weisser, Henrion and Lasserre conjectured, that the approximation rate $\mathcal O(\frac 1 {\sqrt(d)})$ of a Lipschitz functions by a semi-algebraic…

Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. The Chowla conjecture, in the two-point correlation case, asserts that $$ \sum_{n \leq x} \lambda(a_1 n + b_1) \lambda(a_2 n+b_2) = o(x) $$ as $x \to \infty$, for any fixed natural numbers…

Under the assumption of the Riemann Hypothesis, the Linear Independence Hypothesis, and a bound on negative discrete moments of the Riemann zeta function, we prove the existence of a limiting logarithmic distribution of the normalisation of…

The Chowla conjecture asserts that the values of the Liouville function form a normal sequence of plus and minus ones. Reinterpreted in the language of ergodic theory it asserts that the Liouville function is generic for the Bernoulli…

Given a suitable arithmetic function h, we investigate the average order of h as it ranges over the values taken by an integral binary form F. A general upper bound is obtained for this quantity, in which the dependence upon the…

We conjecture a set of differential equations that characterizes the Liouville irregular states of half-integer ranks, which extends the generalized AGT correspondence to all the $(A_1,A_\text{even})$ and $(A_1,D_\text{odd})$ types…

We show that the sign constancy for the values of certain weighted summatory functions of the von Mangoldt function implies the Riemann hypothesis or the generalized Riemann hypothesis for Dirichlet $L$-functions. While such sign constancy…

We generalise Birch's seminal work on forms in many variables to handle a system of forms in which the degrees need not all be the same. This allows us to prove the Hasse principle, weak approximation, and the Manin-Peyre conjecture for a…

Suppose $E$ is an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\chi$ is a Dirichlet character. We use statistical properties of modular symbols to estimate heuristically the probability that $L(E,\chi,1) = 0$. Via the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer…
