We present a proof of Roth's theorem that follows a slightly different structure to the usual proofs, in that there is not much iteration. Although our proof works using a type of density increment argument (which is typical of most proofs…

We investigate exponential sums over those numbers $\leq x$ all of whose prime factors are $\leq y$. We prove fairly good minor arc estimates, valid whenever $\log^{3}x \leq y \leq x^{1/3}$. Then we prove sharp upper bounds for the $p$-th…

We improve the quantitative estimate for Roth's theorem on three-term arithmetic progressions, showing that if $A\subset\{1,\ldots,N\}$ contains no non-trivial three-term arithmetic progressions then $\lvert A\rvert\ll N(\log\log N)^4/\log…

We give a new proof of logarithmic bounds for Roth's theorem on arithmetic progressions, namely that if $A \subset \{1,2,\ldots,N\}$ is free of three-term progressions, then $\lvert A\rvert \leq N/(\log N)^{1-o(1)}$. Unlike previous proofs,…

We prove that if $A$ is any set of prime numbers satisfying \[ \sum_{a\in A}\frac{1}{a}=\infty, \] then $A$ must contain a $3$-term arithmetic progression. This is accomplished by combining the transference principle with a density…

A number is said to be $y$-smooth if all of its prime factors are less than or equal to $y.$ For all $17/30<\theta\leq 1,$ we show that the density of $y$-smooth numbers in the short interval $[x,x+x^{\theta}]$ is asymptotically equal to…

We show that if A is a subset of {1,...,N} contains no non-trivial three-term arithmetic progressions then |A|=O(N/ log^{1-o(1)} N). The approach is somewhat different from that used in arXiv:1007.5444.

We introduce a wide class of deterministic subsets of primes of zero relative density and we prove Roth's Theorem in these sets, namely, we show that any subset of them with positive relative upper density contains infinitely many…

We prove that for any function $f$ satisfying certain mild conditions and any Cantor set $K$ with Newhouse thickness greater than $1$, there exists $x\in K$ and $t>0$ such that \[ \{x-t,x,x+f(t)\}\subset K. \] This is an extension of…

Let $S$ be a subset of $\{1,\ldots,N\}$ avoiding the nontrivial progressions $x, x+y^2-1, x+ 2(y^2-1)$. We prove that $|S|\ll N/\log_m{N}$, where $\log_m $ is the $m$-fold iterated logarithm and $m\in\mathbf{N}$ is an absolute constant.…

We show that in supersymmetric theories, knowing the soft theorem for a single particle in a supermultiplet allows one to immediately determine soft theorems for the remainder of the supermultiplet. While soft theorems in supersymmetric…

In this paper we discuss the notion of smoothness in complex algebraic supergeometry and we prove that all affine complex algebraic supergroups are smooth. We then prove the stabilizer theorem in the algebraic context, providing some useful…

Let $1 < p < \infty$, $p\neq 2$. We prove that if $d\geq d_p$ is sufficiently large, and $A\subs\R^d$ is a measurable set of positive upper density then there exists $\la_0=\la_0(A)$ such for all $\la\geq\la_0$ there are $x,y\in\R^d$ such…

We show that any set containing a positive proportion of the primes contains a 3-term arithmetic progression. An important ingredient is a proof that the primes enjoy the so-called Hardy-Littlewood majorant property. We derive this by…

Smooth K-functors are introduced and the smooth K-theory of locally convex algebras is developed. It is proved that the algebraic and smooth K-functors are isomorphic on the category of quasi stable real (or complex) Frechet algebras.

I show that a trivial modification of a standard proof of the Roth's Theorem on triples in arithmetic progression would lead to the following Theorem: If A is a "large set" that is its elements are monotone increasing integers and the sum…

We obtain smoothing estimates for certain nonlinear convolution operators on prime fields, leading to quantitative nonlinear Roth type theorems. Compared with the usual linear setting (i.e. arithmetic progressions), the nonlinear nature of…

Let \( X \geq y \geq 2 \), and let \( u = \frac{\log X}{\log y} \). We say a number is \textit{$y$-smooth} if all of its prime factors are less than or equal to \( y \). In this paper, we study the distribution of $y$-smooth numbers in…

Assuming the Riemann hypothesis we demonstrate the existence of smooth numbers in certain short intervals.

Let $\Psi(x,y)$ denote the count of $y$-smooth numbers below $x$ and $P(n)$ denote the largest prime factor of $n$. We prove that for $f$ a Steinhaus random multiplicative function, the partial sums over $y$-smooth numbers always enjoy…
