We obtain a nontrivial upper bound for almost all elements of the sequences of real numbers which are multiplicative and at the prime indices are distributed according to the Sato--Tate density. Examples of such sequences come from…

In this paper, we introduce notions of $J$-set near zero and $C$-set near zero for a dense subsemigroup of $((0,+\infty),+)$ and obtain some results for them. Also we derive the Central Sets Theorem near zero.

Suppose $A$ is a subset of $\{1, \dotsc, N\}$ which does not contain any configurations of the form $x,x+\lfloor n^c \rfloor$ where $n \neq 0$ and $1<c<\frac{6}{5}$. We show that the density of $A$ relative to the first $N$ integers is…

Let $N(\sigma,T)$ denote the number of nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function with real part greater than $\sigma$ and imaginary part between $0$ and $T$. We provide explicit upper bounds for $N(\sigma,T)$ commonly referred to as a…

We give very precise bounds for the congruence subgroup growth of arithmetic groups. This allows us to determine the subgroup growth of irreducible lattices of semisimple Lie groups. In the most general case our results depend on the…

In Dolera, Gabetta and Regazzini [Ann. Appl. Probab. 19 (2009) 186-201] it is proved that the total variation distance between the solution $f(\cdot,t)$ of Kac's equation and the Gaussian density $(0,\sigma^2)$ has an upper bound which goes…

The notion of density of a finite set is introduced. We prove a general theorem of set theory which refines the Gibbs, Bose--Einstein, and Pareto distributions as well as the Zipf law.

We prove a version of the Loebl-Komlos-Sos Conjecture for dense graphs. For each q>0 there exists a number $n_0\in \mathbb{N}$ such that for any n>n_0 and k>qn the following holds: if G be a graph of order n with at least n/2 vertices of…

Szemer\'edi's theorem implies that there are $2^{o(n)}$ subsets of $[n]$ which do not contain a $k$-term arithmetic progression. A sparse analogue of this statement was obtained by Balogh, Morris, and Samotij, using the hypergraph container…

We generalize current known distribution results on Shanks--R\'enyi prime number races to the case where arbitrarily many residue classes are involved. Our method handles both the classical case that goes back to Chebyshev and function…

Let $\gamma(t)=(P_1(t),\ldots,P_n(t))$ where $P_i$ is a real polynomial with zero constant term for each $1\leq i\leq n$. We will show the existence of the configuration $\{x,x+\gamma(t)\}$ in sets of positive density $\epsilon$ in…

An improved upper bound is obtained for the density of sequences of positive integers that contain no k-term geometric progression.

We give a structural description of the finite subsets $A$ of an arbitrary group $G$ which obey the polynomial growth condition $|A^n| \leq n^d |A|$ for some bounded $d$ and sufficiently large $n$, showing that such sets are controlled by…

Let $A$ be the product of an abelian variety and a torus defined over a number field $K$. Fix some prime number $\ell$. If $\alpha \in A(K)$ is a point of infinite order, we consider the set of primes $\mathfrak p$ of $K$ such that the…

We calibrate the reverse mathematical strength of a family of extensions of Ramsey's theorem to finite colorings of certain subsets of the natural numbers of unbounded finite dimension. Specifically, we analyze the principles…

We make explicit Bombieri's refinement of Gallagher's log-free "large sieve density estimate near $\sigma = 1$" for Dirichlet $L$-functions. We use this estimate and recent work of Green to prove that if $N\geq 2$ is an integer,…

We give a sufficient and necessary condition such that for almost all $s\in{\mathbb R}$ \[ \|n\theta-s\|<\psi(n)\qquad\text{for infinitely many}\ n\in{\mathbb N}, \] where $\theta$ is fixed and $\psi(n)$ is a positive, non-increasing…

For any measure preserving system $(X,\mathcal{X},\mu,T)$ and $A\in\mathcal{X}$ with $\mu(A)>0$, we show that there exist infinitely many primes $p$ such that $\mu\bigl(A\cap T^{-(p-1)}A\cap T^{-2(p-1)}A\bigr) > 0$ (the same holds with…

S\'ark\"ozy proved that dense sets of integers contain two elements differing by a $k$th power. The bounds in quantitative versions of this theorem are rather weak compared to what is expected. We prove a version of S\'ark\"ozy's theorem…

We improve the result of our previous paper on translation invariant quadratic forms in two special cases. We reduce the density bound $|\mathcal{A}|/N = O((\log\log N)^{-c})$ to $|\mathcal{A}|/N = O((\log N)^{-c})$ for most quadratic forms…
