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…

For every irrational real $\alpha$, let $M(\alpha) = \sup_{n\geq 1} a_n(\alpha)$ denote the largest partial quotient in its continued fraction expansion (or $\infty$, if unbounded). The $2$-adic Littlewood conjecture (2LC) can be stated as…

We improve the upper bound of the following inequalities for the gamma function $\Gamma$ due to H. Alzer and the author. \begin{equation*}…

Let $f$ be a Hecke cusp form of weight $k$ for the full modular group, and let $\{\lambda_f(n)\}_{n\geq 1}$ be the sequence of its normalized Fourier coefficients. Motivated by the problem of the first sign change of $\lambda_f(n)$, we…

Let $f(n)$ denote a multiplicative function with range $\{-1,0,1\}$, and let $F(x) = \sum_{n\leq x} f(n)$. Then $F(x)/\sqrt{x} = a\sqrt{x} + b + E(x)$, where $a$ and $b$ are constants and $E(x)$ is an error term that either tends to $0$ in…

We prove, in respect of an arbitrary Hecke congruence subgroup \Gamma =\Gamma_0(q_0) of the group SL(2,Z[i]), some new upper bounds (or `spectral large sieve inequalities') for sums involving Fourier coefficients of \Gamma -automorphic cusp…

For $0<\alpha<1$ let $V(\alpha)$ denote the supremum of the numbers $v$ such that every $\alpha$-H\"older continuous function is of bounded variation on a set of Hausdorff dimension $v$. Kahane and Katznelson (2009) proved the estimate $1/2…

Let $f$ be an $E$-function (in Siegel's sense) not of the form $e^{\beta z}$, $\beta \in \overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, and let $\log$ denote any fixed determination of the complex logarithm. We first prove that there exists a finite set $S(f)$…

The Shapley-Folkman theorem shows that Minkowski averages of uniformly bounded sets tend to be convex when the number of terms in the sum becomes much larger than the ambient dimension. In optimization, Aubin and Ekeland [1976] show that…

Let $f_k$ be the $k$-th Fourier coefficient of a function $f$ in terms of the orthonormal Hermite, Laguerre or Jacobi polynomials. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on $f$ for the inequality $\sum_{k}|f_k|^2\theta^k<\infty$ to…

The celebrated Heinz inequality asserts that $ 2|||A^{1/2}XB^{1/2}|||\leq |||A^{\nu}XB^{1-\nu}+A^{1-\nu}XB^{\nu}|||\leq |||AX+XB|||$ for $X \in \mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H})$, $A,B\in \+$, every unitarily invariant norm $|||\cdot|||$ and $\nu \in…

We develop a new $L^1$ law of large numbers where the $i$-th summand is given by a function $h(\cdot)$ evaluated at $X_i - \theta_n$, and where $\theta_n \circeq \theta_n(X_1,X_2,\ldots,X_n)$ is an estimator converging in probability to…

In this paper we give a criterion to prove boundedness results for several operators from $H^1((0,\infty),\gamma_\alpha)$ to $L^1((0,\infty),\gamma_\alpha)$ and also from $L^\infty((0,\infty),\gamma_\alpha)$ to…

Let $L$ be a L\'evy operator. A function $h$ is said to be harmonic with respect to $L$ if $L h = 0$ in an appropriate sense. We prove Liouville's theorem for positive functions harmonic with respect to a general L\'evy operator $L$: such…

This article establishes a universal robust limit theorem under a sublinear expectation framework. Under moment and consistency conditions, we show that, for $\alpha \in(1,2)$, the i.i.d. sequence \[ \left \{ \left(…

We examine the general weighted Lane-Emden system \begin{align*} -\Delta u = \rho(x)v^p,\quad -\Delta v= \rho(x)u^\theta, \quad u,v>0\quad \mbox{in }\;\mathbb{R}^N \end{align*} where $1<p\leq\theta$ and $\rho: \mathbb{R}^N\rightarrow…

Lower bound on the equivariant Hilbertian compression exponent $\alpha$ are obtained using random walks. More precisely, if the probability of return of the simple random walk is $\succeq \textrm{exp}(-n^\gamma)$ in a Cayley graph then…

Define {\em the Liouville function for $A$}, a subset of the primes $P$, by $\lambda_{A}(n) =(-1)^{\Omega_A(n)}$ where $\Omega_A(n)$ is the number of prime factors of $n$ coming from $A$ counting multiplicity. For the traditional Liouville…

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…

We show that for any $\varepsilon > 0$, prime $q$ sufficiently large with respect to $1 / \varepsilon$ and residue class $(a,q) = 1$, there exist two integers $m, n \leq q^{5/2 + \varepsilon}$ with $m \equiv n \equiv a \pmod{q}$ such that…
