For sums $S_n=\sum_{k=1}^n X_k$, $n\ge 1$ of independent random variables $ X_k $ taking values in $\Z$ we prove, as a consequence of a more general result, that if (i) For some function $1\le \phi(t)\uparrow \infty $ as $t\to \infty$, and…
We consider the averages of a function $ f$ on $ \mathbb R ^{n}$ over spheres of radius $ 0< r< \infty $ given by $ A_{r} f (x) = \int_{\mathbb S ^{n-1}} f (x-r y) \; d \sigma (y)$, where $ \sigma $ is the normalized rotation invariant…
We construct the actions of a very broad family of 2d integrable $\sigma$-models. Our starting point is a universal 2d action obtained in [arXiv:2008.01829] using the framework of Costello and Yamazaki based on 4d Chern-Simons theory. This…
Folkman's Theorem asserts that for each $k \in \mathbb{N}$, there exists a natural number $n = F(k)$ such that whenever the elements of $[n]$ are two-coloured, there exists a set $A \subset [n]$ of size $k$ with the property that all the…
The Feichtinger Conjecture, if true, would have as a corollary that for each set $E\subset \T$ and $\Lambda \subset \Z$, there is a partition $\Lambda_1,...,\Lambda_N$ of $\Z$ such that for each $1\le i \le N$, $\{\exp(2\pi i x\lambda):…
We show that when screening corrections are included $\frac{\partial F_{2}(x,Q^{2})}{\partial ln(Q^{2}/Q_{0}^{2})}$ is consistent with the behaviour that one expects in pQCD. Screening corrections explain the enigma of the Caldwell plot.…
We prove new upper bounds for a spectral exponential sum by refining the process by which one evaluates mean values of $L$-functions multiplied by an oscillating function. In particular, we introduce a method which is capable of taking into…
Let $f$ be a function on the unit circle and $D_n(f)$ be the determinant of the $(n+1)\times (n+1)$ matrix with elements $\{c_{j-i}\}_{0\leq i,j\leq n}$ where $c_m =\hat f_m\equiv \int e^{-im\theta} f(\theta) \f{d\theta}{2\pi}$. The sharp…
We prove that given $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $0 < \lambda < 1$, then $\pi(x + x^\lambda) - \pi(x) \sim \displaystyle \frac{x^\lambda}{\log(x)}$. This solves a long-standing problem concerning the existence of primes in short…
A central result of Sturm-Liouville theory (also called the Sturm-Hurwitz Theorem) states that if $\phi_k$ is a sequence of eigenfunctions of a second order differential operator on the interval $I \subset \mathbb{R}$, then any linear…
For an irrational $\alpha\in(0,1)$, we investigate the Ostrowski sum-of-digits function $\sigma_\alpha$. For $\alpha$ having bounded partial quotients and $\vartheta\in\mathbb R\setminus\mathbb Z$, we prove that the function $g:n\mapsto…
This work has been motivated by recent papers that quantify the density of values of generic quadratic forms and other polynomials at integer points, in particular ones that use Rogers' second moment estimates. In this paper we establish…
For $n>2$, given $\phi_1,...,\phi_n$ randomly chosen isometries of $S^2$, it is well-known that the group $\G$ generated by $\phi_1,...,\phi_n$ acts ergodically on $S^2$. It is conjectured in \cite{GJS} that for almost every choice of…
The celebrated Erd\H{o}s--Stone--Simonovits theorem states that $\mathrm{ex}(n,F)= \big(1-\frac{1}{\chi(F)-1}+o(1) \big)\frac{n^{2}}{2}$, where $\chi(F)$ is the chromatic number of $F$. In 2009, Nikiforov proved a spectral extension of the…
We solve the spectral synthesis problem for exponential systems on an interval. Namely, we prove that any complete and minimal system of exponentials $\{e^{i\lambda_n t}\}$ in $L^2(-a,a)$ is hereditarily complete up to a one-dimensional…
A bounded measurable set $\Omega$, of Lebesgue measure 1, in the real line is called spectral if there is a set $\Lambda$ of real numbers ("frequencies") such that the exponential functions $e_\lambda(x) = \exp(2\pi i \lambda x)$,…
Using the spectral theory of weakly convergent sequences of finite graphs, we prove the uniform existence of the integrated density of states for a large class of infinite graphs.
In this paper using a transform defined by the translation operator we introduce the concept of spectrum of sequences that are bounded by $n^\nu$, where $\nu$ is a natural number. We apply this spectral theory to study the asymptotic…
Let f_t be a meromorphic family of endomorphisms of P^N_C of degree at least 2, and let L(f_t) be the sum of Lyapunov exponents associated to f_t. Favre showed that L(f_t)=L(f)\log|t^{-1}|+o(\log|t^{-1}|) as t -> 0, where L(f) is the sum of…
We establish a general spectral gap theorem for actions of products of groups which may replace Kazhdan's property (T) in various situations. As a main application, we prove that a confined subgroup of an irreducible lattice in a higher…
