The present paper pioneers the study of the Dirichlet problem with $L^q$ boundary data for second order operators with complex coefficients in domains with lower dimensional boundaries, e.g., in $\Omega := \mathbb R^n \setminus \mathbb R^d$…

For numerical approximation the reformulation of a PDE as a residual minimisation problem has the advantages that the resulting linear system is symmetric positive definite, and that the norm of the residual provides an a posteriori error…

We obtain asymptotic lower bounds for the spectral function of the Laplacian and for the remainder in local Weyl's law on manifolds. In the negatively curved case, thermodynamic formalism is applied to improve the estimates. Key ingredients…

We give the converse to Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions by generalizing an old result of Guinand.

The $2 q$-th pseudomoment $\Psi_{2q,\alpha}(x)$ of the $\alpha$-th power of the Riemann zeta function is defined to be the $2 q$-th moment of the partial sum up to $x$ of $\zeta^\alpha$ on the critical line. Using probabilistic methods of…

In this paper we investigate a class of $2$-Hessian equations and establish a minimum principle for a $P$-function in the sense of L.E. Payne (see R. Sperb \cite{Sp81}). The analysis is based on a sharp matrix inequality providing an…

We study the $2k$-th moment of central values of the family of Dirichlet $L$-functions to a fixed prime modulus. We establish sharp lower bounds for all real $k \geq 0$ and sharp upper bounds for $k$ in the range $0 \leq k \leq 1$.

For relatively prime positive integers u_0 and r, we consider the arithmetic progression {u_k := u_0+k*r} (0 <= k <= n). Define L_n := lcm{u_0,u_1,...,u_n} and let a >= 2 be any integer. In this paper, we show that, for integers alpha,r >=…

Let $g$ be a fixed holomorphic cusp form of arbitrary level and nebentypus. Let $\chi$ be a primitive character of prime-power modulus $q = p^{\gamma}$. In this paper, we prove the following hybrid Weyl-type subconvexity bound…

We prove a kind of "almost all symmetry" result for the primes, i.e. we give non-trivial bounds for the "symmetry integral", say $I_{\Lambda}(N,h)$, of the von Mangoldt function $\Lambda(n)$ ($:= \log p$ for prime-powers $n=p^r$, 0…

For each prime $p$, let $n(p)$ denote the least quadratic nonresidue modulo $p$. Vinogradov conjectured that $n(p) = O(p^\eps)$ for every fixed $\eps>0$. This conjecture follows from the generalised Riemann hypothesis, and is known to hold…

Define $G(x;q)$ to be the variance of primes $p\le x$ in the arithmetic progressions modulo $q$, weighted by $\log p$. Hooley conjectured that as soon as $q$ tends to infinity and $x\ge q$, we have the upper bound $G(x;q) \ll x \log q$. In…

Hal\'asz's Theorem gives an upper bound for the mean value of a multiplicative function $f$. The bound is sharp for general such $f$, and, in particular, it implies that a multiplicative function with $|f(n)|\le 1$ has either mean value…

We establish upper bounds for shifted moments of cubic and quartic Dirichlet $L$-functions under the generalized Riemann hypothesis. As an application, we prove bounds for moments of cubic and quartic Dirichlet character sums.

We consider the quasi-linear eigenvalue problem $-\Delta_p u = \lambda g(u)$ subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on a bounded open set $\Omega$, where $g$ is a locally Lipschitz continuous functions. Imposing no further conditions on…

We present a short, self-contained, and purely combinatorial proof of Linnik's theorem: for any $\varepsilon > 0$ there exists a constant $C_\varepsilon$ such that for any $N$, there are at most $C_\varepsilon$ primes $p \leqslant N$ such…

We study the fourth moment of quadratic Dirichlet $L$-functions at $s= \frac{1}{2}$. We show an asymptotic formula under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, and obtain a precise lower bound unconditionally. The proofs of these results…

Let $q\ge 3$ be a non-exceptional modulus $q\ge3$, and let $a$ be a positive integer coprime with $q$. For any $\epsilon>0$, there exists $\alpha>0$ (computable), such that for all $x\ge \alpha (\log q)^2$, the interval $\left[…

Let $L(s,\chi)$ be the Dirichlet $L$-function associated to a non trivial primitive Dirichlet character $\chi$ defined $\bmod\ q$, where $q$ is an odd prime. In this paper we introduce a fast method to compute $\vert L(1,\chi) \vert$ using…

We fix a non-zero integer $a$ and consider arithmetic progressions $a \bmod q$, with $q$ varying over a given range. We show that for certain specific values of $a$, the arithmetic progressions $a \bmod q$ contain, on average, significantly…
