The original Gelfond-Schnirelman method, proposed in 1936, uses polynomials with integer coefficients and small norms on $[0,1]$ to give a Chebyshev-type lower bound in prime number theory. We study a generalization of this method for…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\Q$ without complex multiplication, and which is not isogenous to a curve with non-trivial rational torsion. For each prime $p$ of good reduction, let $|E(\F_p)|$ be the order of the group of points of the…

We analyze the global convergence of the power iterates for the computation of a general mixed-subordinate matrix norm. We prove a new global convergence theorem for a class of entrywise nonnegative matrices that generalizes and improves a…

We derive, for all prime moduli p except those in a very thin set, an upper bound for the least prime primitive root (mod p) of order of magnitude a constant power of log p. The improvement over previous results, where the upper bound was…

We give a simple proof of the matrix Spencer conjecture up to poly-logarithmic rank: given symmetric $d \times d$ matrices $A_1,\ldots,A_n$ each with $\|A_i\|_{\mathsf{op}} \leq 1$ and rank at most $n/\log^3 n$, one can efficiently find…

For any prime $p$, let $y(p)$ denote the smallest integer $y$ such that every reduced residue class $\pmod p$ is represented by the product of some subset of $\{1,\dots,y\}$. It is easy to see that $y(p)$ is at least as large as the…

We prove a weighted Carleman estimate for a class of one-dimensional, self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operators $P(h)$ with low regularity electric and magnetic potentials, where $h > 0$ is a semiclassical parameter. The long range part of…

In number theory, many major results related to the additive properties of primes are proven using the methods of sieve theory. However, in nearly every case, the existing proofs of these results are ineffective, in that explicit values for…

We investigate gaps of $n$-term arithmetic progressions $x, x+y, \ldots, x+(n-1)y$ inside a positive measure subset $A$ of the unit cube $[0,1]^d$. If lengths of their gaps $y$ are evaluated in the $\ell^p$-norm for any $p$ other than $1,…

We prove quantitative estimates for averages of the von Mangoldt and M\"obius functions along polynomial progressions $n+P_1(m),\ldots, n+P_k(m)$ for a large class of polynomials $P_i$. The error terms obtained save an arbitrary power of…

We study the approximation error $\varepsilon(x)=\operatorname{li}_{*}(x)-\operatorname{li}(x)$ arising from the classical Stieltjes asymptotic expansion for the logarithmic integral. Our analysis is based on the discrete values…

The purpose of this paper is to revisit the proof of the Gearhardt-Pr\"uss-Hwang-Greiner theorem for a semigroup $S(t)$, following the general idea of the proofs that we have seen in the literature and to get an explicit estimate on $\Vert…

$L-$series attached to two classical families of elliptic curves with complex multiplications are studied over number fields, formulae for their special values at $s=1, $ bound of the values, and criterion of reaching the bound are given.…

In this paper, I utilize a variant of the Selberg--Delange method to find quantitative estimates of the sums \[M_{k,\omega}(x,y)=\sum_{\substack{p_{1}(n)> y\\ n\leq x} } \mu(n) {\omega(n)-1\choose k-1},\] where $y$ can grow with $x$ but we…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}.$ Let $a_p$ denote the trace of the Frobenius endomorphism at a rational prime $p$. For a fixed integer $r,$ define the prime-counting function as $\pi_{E,r}(x):=\sum_{p\leq x,p\nmid…

We study Sinkhorn's algorithm for solving the entropically regularized optimal transport problem. Its iterate $\pi_{t}$ is shown to satisfy $H(\pi_{t}|\pi_{*})+H(\pi_{*}|\pi_{t})=O(t^{-1})$ where $H$ denotes relative entropy and $\pi_{*}$…

The prime counting function inequality $\pi(x+y) < \pi(x)+\pi(y)$, which is known as Hardy-Littlewood conjecture, has been established for a variety of cases such as $ \delta x \leq y \leq x$, where $0< \delta \leq 1$, and $x \leq y\leq x…

We consider an optimal transport problem on the unit simplex whose solutions are given by gradients of exponentially concave functions and prove two main results. First, we show that the optimal transport is the large deviation limit of a…
