Additive combinatorics asks for lower bounds on sumsets and restricted sumsets over finite fields. Central examples are the Cauchy-Davenport theorem and the Erd\H{o}s-Heilbronn conjecture. In this note, we develop Das's linear algebraic…

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…

We study the $\delta$-discretized sum-product estimates for well spaced sets. Our main result is: for a fixed $\alpha\in(1,\frac{3}{2}]$, we prove that for any $\sim|A|^{-1}$-separated set $A\subset[1,2]$ and $\delta=|A|^{-\alpha}$, we…

$ $Abert, Gelander and Nikolov [AGN17] conjectured that the number of generators $d(\Gamma)$ of a lattice $\Gamma$ in a high rank simple Lie group $H$ grows sub-linearly with $v = \mu(H / \Gamma)$, the co-volume of $\Gamma$ in $H$. We prove…

We derive an asymptotic formula for the sum $$ H = \sum_{0<\gamma_k\leqslant T,\, 1\leqslant k\leqslant m}h(a_1\gamma_1+a_2\gamma_2+\cdots + a_m\gamma_m), $$ where $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_m$ are integers whose sum equals zero, $\gamma_1,…

Let $A=\{a_0,a_1,\ldots,a_{k-1}\}$ be a set of $k$ integers. For any integer $h\ge 1$ and any ordered $k$-tuple of positive integers $\mathbf{r}=(r_0,r_1,\ldots,r_{k-1})$, we define a general $h$-fold sumset, denoted by $h^{(\mathbf{r})}A$,…

We show that every set $A$ of natural numbers with positive upper density can be shifted to contain the restricted sumset $\{b_1 + b_2 : b_1, b_2\in B \text{ and } b_1 \neq b_2 \}$ for some infinite set $B \subset A$.

The objective of this paper is to obtain asymptotic results for shifted sums of multiplicative functions of the form $g \ast 1$, where the function $g$ satisfies the Ramanujan conjecture and has conjectured upper bounds on square moments of…

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 show that for any relatively prime integers $1\leq p<q$ and for any finite $A \subset \mathbb{Z}$ one has $$|p \cdot A + q \cdot A | \geq (p + q) |A| - (pq)^{(p+q-3)(p+q) + 1}.$$

Assuming that Siegel zeros exist, we prove a hybrid version of the Chowla and Hardy--Littlewood prime tuples conjectures. Thus, for an infinite sequence of natural numbers $x$, and any distinct integers $h_1,\dots,h_k,h'_1,\dots,h'_\ell$,…

For each $1\leq i \le n$, let $k_i\geq 1$ and let $\Delta_i$ be a set of vertices of a non-degenerate simplex of $k_i+1$ points in $\mathbb{R}^{k_i+1}$. If $A\subseteq [0,1]^{k_1+1}\times \cdots \times [0,1]^{k_n+1}$ is a Lebesgue…

A result of Helson on general Dirichlet series $\sum a_{n} e^{-\lambda_{n}s}$ states that, whenever $(a_{n})$ is $2$-summable and $\lambda=(\lambda_{n})$ satisfies a certain condition introduced by Bohr, then for almost all homomorphism…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be an algebra over $K$ with a bilinear operation $[\cdot,\cdot]:\mathfrak{g}\times\mathfrak{g}\rightarrow\mathfrak{g}$ not necessarily associative. For $A\subseteq\mathfrak{g}$, let $A^{k}$ be the set of elements of…

For $\delta>0$ sufficiently small and $A\subset \mathbb{Z}^k$ with $|A+A|\le (2^k+\delta)|A|$, we show either $A$ is covered by $m_k(\delta)$ parallel hyperplanes, or satisfies $|\widehat{\operatorname{co}}(A)\setminus A|\le c_k\delta |A|$,…

Let $A_f(1,n)$ be the normalized Fourier coefficients of a $GL(3)$ Maass cusp form $f$ and let $a_g(n)$ be the normalized Fourier coefficients of a $GL(2)$ cusp form $g$. Let $\lambda(n)$ be either $A_f(1,n)$ or the triple divisor function…

In this paper we give a different approach to determining the cardinality of $h$-fold sumsets $hA$ when $A\subset \mathbb{Z}^d$ has $d+2$ elements. This enables us to provide more general result with a shorter and simpler proof. We also…

We generalize the Hart-Shelah example \cite{HaSh:323} to higher infinitary logics. We build, for each natural number $k\geq 2$ and for each infinite cardinal $\lambda$, a sentence $\psi_k^\lambda$ of the logic $L_{(2^\lambda)^+,\omega}$…

Given a positive integer $h$ and a nonempty finite set of integers $A=\{a_{1},a_{2},\ldots,a_{k}\}$, the restricted $h$-fold signed sumset of $A$, denoted by $h^{\wedge}_{\pm}A$, is defined as $$h^{\wedge}_{\pm}A=\left\lbrace \sum_{i=1}^{k}…

For a set $A$ of integers, the sumset $lA =A+...+A$ consists of those numbers which can be represented as a sum of $l$ elements of $A$ $$lA =\{a_1+... a_l| a_i \in A_i \}. $$ A closely related and equally interesting notion is that of…
