We discuss the Pointwise Ergodic Theorem for the Gaussian divisor function $d(n)$, that is, for a measure preserving $\mathbb Z[i]$ action $T$, the limit $$\lim_{N\rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{D(N)} \sum _{\mathscr{N} (n) \leq N} d(n)…

We present a unified approach which gives completely elementary proofs of three weighted sum formulae for double zeta values. This approach also leads to new evaluations of sums relating to the harmonic numbers, the alternating double zeta…

We obtain, for $T^\epsilon \le U=U(T)\le T^{1/2-\epsilon}$, asymptotic formulas for $$ \int_T^{2T}(E(t+U) - E(t))^2 dt,\quad \int_T^{2T}(\Delta(t+U) - \Delta(t))^2 dt, $$ where $\Delta(x)$ is the error term in the classical divisor problem,…

We show that the expected asymptotic for the sums $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} \Lambda(n) \Lambda(n+h)$, $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} d_k(n) d_l(n+h)$, and $\sum_{X < n \leq 2X} \Lambda(n) d_k(n+h)$ hold for almost all $h \in [-H,H]$, provided that…

Under the generalized Lindel\"of Hypothesis in the t- and q-aspects, we bound exponential sums with coefficients of Dirichlet series belonging to a certain class. We use these estimates to establish a conditional result on squares of Hecke…

Let $f$ be a real polynomial with irrational leading co-efficient. In this article, we derive distribution of $f(n)$ modulo one for all $n$ with at least three divisors and also we study distribution of $f(n)$ for all square-free $n$ with…

We describe mean value estimates for exponential sums of degree exceeding 2 that approach those conjectured to be best possible. The vehicle for this recent progress is the efficient congruencing method, which iteratively exploits the…

Let $R^{\frac{1}{2}}$ be a large integer, and $\omega$ be a nonnegative weight in the $R$-ball $B_R=[0,R]^2$ such that $\omega(B_R)\le R$. For any complex sequence $\{a_n\}$, define the quadratic exponential sum \[…

For a purely $N$-periodic continued fraction $\xi=[\overline{a_0,a_1,\dots,a_{N-1}}]=[a_0,a_1,\cdots]$, with $a_k=a_{k+N}$ for all $k\ge 0$, and convergents $h_n/k_n=[a_0,a_1,\dots,a_n]$, we obtain explicit expressions for the weighted…

Let $\Delta(a,b;x)$ denote the error term of the general two-dimensional divisor problem. In this paper we shall study the relation between the discrete mean value $\sum_{n\leq T}\Delta^2(a,b;n)$ and the continuous mean value…

Suppose that $a$ and $b$ are positive integers subject to $(a,b)=1$. For $n\in\mathbb{Z}^+$, denote by $\tau_{a,b}(n;\ell_1,M_1,l_2,M_2)$ the asymmetric two--dimensional divisor function with congruence conditions, i.e., \begin{equation*}…

First we generalize a famous lemma of Gallagher on the mean square estimate for exponential sums by plugging a weight in the right hand side of Gallagher's original inequality. Then we apply it in the special case of the Cesaro weight, in…
