We obtain a new bound on certain double sums of multiplicative characters improving the range of several previous results. This improvement comes from new bounds on the number of collinear triples in finite fields, which is a classical…

An explicit formula for the quadratic mean value at $s=1$ of the Dirichlet $L$-functions associated with the odd Dirichlet characters modulo $f>2$ is known. Here we present a situation where we could prove an explicit formula for the…

We establish a quantitative version of Oppenheim's conjecture for generic ternary indefinite quadratic forms using an analytic number theory approach. The statements come with power gains and in some cases are essentially optimal

An algorithm to compute Dirichlet $L$-functions for many quadratic characters is derived. The algorithm is optimal (up to logarithmic factors) provided that the conductors of the characters under consideration span a dyadic window.

We derive formulas for characterizing bounded orthogonally additive polynomials in two ways. Firstly, we prove that certain formulas for orthogonally additive polynomials derived in \cite{Kusa} actually characterize them. Secondly, by…

A lower bound for the dimension of the $\Q$-vector space spanned by special values of a Dirichlet series with periodic coefficients is given. As a corollary, it is deduced that both special values at even integers and at odd integers…

We use the large sieve inequality for smooth numbers due to S. Drappeau, A. Granville and X. Shao (2017), together with some other arguments, to improve their bounds on the frequency of pairs $(q,\chi)$ of moduli $q$ and primitive…

We use the properties of Hermite and Kamp\'e de F\'eriet polynomials to get closed forms for the repeated derivatives of functions whose argument is a quadratic or higher-order polynomial. The results we obtain are extended to product of…

We prove an estimate for multi-variable multiplicative character sums over affine subspaces of $\mathbb A^n_k$, which generalize the well known estimates for both classical Jacobi sums and one-variable polynomial multiplicative character…

In this paper, we evaluate a smoothed character sum involving $\sum_{m}\sum_{n}\leg {m}{n}$, with quadratic, cubic or quartic Hecke characters $\leg {m}{n}$, and the two sums over $m$ and $n$ are of comparable lengths.

The coefficients occurring in summation formulae of the Lubbock type are shown to be generalised Bernoulli polynomials which turn up in subdivision questions such as quantum field theory around a conical singularity and on spherical lunes.…

We establish some identities of Euler related sums. By using these identities, we discuss the closed form representations of sums of harmonic numbers and reciprocal parametric binomial coefficients through parametric harmonic numbers,…

We prove an exponential integral estimate for the quadratic partial sums of multiple Fourier series on large sets that implies some new properties of Fourier series.

We extend the classical Burgess estimates to character sums over proper generalized arithmetic progressions (GAPs) of rank $2$ in prime fields $\mathbb{F}_p$. The core of our proof is a sharp upper bound for the multiplicative energy of…

In this paper we consider the analogue of the Sato's functional equation for the prehomogeneous vector spaces over finite fields. The corresponding character sums depend on a relative invariant on such a space and an irreducible…

A motivated q-extension of the values of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers is presented. Several irrationality and transcendence results as well as new general problems for these q-zeta values are stated.

From an identity connecting a combinatorial sum and Legendre polynomials, we derive closed forms for a number of combinatorial sums. Some of them are obtained via results about the integrals of functions associated with Legendre…
