We consider a generalized Gauss sum supported on matrices over a number field. We evaluate this Gauss sum and relate it to the number of totally isotropic subspaces of related quadratic spaces. Then we consider a further generalization of…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring, $f \in R[X_1,\ldots,X_k]$ a multivariate polynomial, and $G$ a finite subgroup of the group of units of $R$ satisfying a certain constraint, which always holds if $R$ is a field. Then, we evaluate $\sum…

Every integer greater than two can be expressed as the sum of a prime and a square-free number. Expanding on recent work, we provide explicit and asymptotic results when divisibility conditions are imposed on the square-free number. For…

We establish nontrivial bounds for bilinear sums involving the M\"obius function evaluated over solutions to a broad class of equations. Several of our results may be regarded as M\"obius-function analogues of the ternary Goldbach problem.…

The increasing rate of the Birkhoff sums in the infinite iterated function systems with polynomial decay of the derivative (for example the Gauss map) is studied. For different unbounded potential functions, the Hausdorff dimensions of the…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is the power of an odd prime, and let $\mathrm{GSp}(2n, \mathbb{F}_q)$ and $\mathrm{GO}^{\pm}(2n, \mathbb{F}_q)$ denote the symplectic and orthogonal groups of similitudes…

The definitions of the $n^{th}$ Gauss sum and the associated $n^{th}$ central charge are introduced for premodular categories $\mathcal{C}$ and $n\in\mathbb{Z}$. We first derive an expression of the $n^{th}$ Gauss sum of a modular category…

The ternary Goldbach conjecture (or three-prime conjecture) states that every odd number greater than 5 can be written as the sum of three primes. The purpose of this book is to give the first proof of the conjecture, in full.

Let $R$ be a finite ring with unity, $\psi: R \to \mathbb{C}^\times$ be an additive character of $R$, and \( \chi_0 \) be the principal multiplicative character ($i.e.$, $\chi_0(x) = 1 \quad \text{for all } x \in R^\times$), then the Gauss…

We study sums of the shape $\sum_{n \leqslant x} f \left( \lfloor x/n \rfloor \right)$ where $f$ is either the von Mangoldt function or the Dirichlet-Piltz divisor functions. We improve previous estimates when $f = \Lambda$ and $f = \tau$,…

We prove some weighted sum formulas for half multiple zeta values, half finite multiple zeta values, and half symmetric multiple zeta values. The key point of our proof is Dougall's identity for the generalized hypergeometric function…

This paper proves Burgess bounds for short mixed character sums in multi-dimensional settings. The mixed character sums we consider involve both an exponential evaluated at a real-valued multivariate polynomial, and a product of…

We present an explicit evaluation of the double Gauss sum $\displaystyle G(a,b,c;S;p^n):=\sum_{x,y=0}^{p^n-1} e^{2\pi i S(ax^2+bxy+cy^2)/p^n}$, where $a, b, c$ are integers such that $\gcd(a,b,c)=1$, $p$ is a prime, $n$ is a positive…

Dirichlet problem in an $n$-dimensional billiard space is investigated. In particular, the system of ODEs $\ddot x(t) = f(t,x(t))$ together with Dirichlet boundary conditions $x(0) = A$, $x(T) = B$ in an $n$-dimensional interval $K$ with…

Suppose that $n$ is $0$ or $4$ modulo $6$. We show that there are infinitely many primes of the form $p^2 + nq^2$ with both $p$ and $q$ prime, and obtain an asymptotic for their number. In particular, when $n = 4$ we verify the `Gaussian…

An elementary approach is shown which derives the value of the Gauss sum of a cubic character over a finite field $\mathbb F_{2^s}$ without using Davenport-Hasse's theorem (namely, if $s$ is odd the Gauss sum is -1, and if $s$ is even its…

Computers are good at evaluating finite sums in closed form, but there are finite sums which do not have closed forms. Summands which do not produce a closed form can often be ``fixed'' by multiplying them by a suitable polynomial. We…

We prove that every sufficiently large odd integer can be expressed as a sum of one square and fourteen fifth powers, all of primes. In addition, we establish that every sufficiently large even integer can be written as a sum of one square,…

In this paper we prove new upper bounds for the sum $\sum_{n=a+1}^{a+N}f(n)$, for a certain class of arithmetic functions $f$. Our results improve the previous results of G. Bachman and L. Rachakonda.

We consider systems $\vec{F}(\vec{x})$ of $R$ homogeneous forms of the same degree $d$ in $n$ variables with integral coefficients. If $n\geq d2^dR+R$ and the coefficients of $\vec{F}$ lie in an explicit Zariski open set, we give a…
