We prove new mean value theorems for primes in arithmetic progressions to moduli larger than $x^{1/2}$, extending the Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem to moduli of size $x^{1/2+\delta}$ which have conveniently sized divisors. The main feature of…

In 1927, Artin conjectured that any integer other than -1 or a perfect square generates the multiplicative group $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}^\times$ for infinitely many $p$. In \cite{MoSt}, Moree and Stevenhagen considered a two-variable…

Robin's criterion states that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to $\sigma(n) < e^\gamma n \log\log n$ for all integers $n \geq 5041$, where $\sigma(n)$ is the sum of divisors of $n$ and $\gamma$ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant. We…

Let $n > 2$, $\gamma > \frac{n-1}{n-2}$, and $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$. We prove that if $M$ and $N$ are two smooth $n$-manifolds that admit a complete Riemannian metric satisfying \[ -\gamma\Delta + \mathrm{Ric} > \lambda, \] then the…

We calculate the triple correlations for the truncated divisor sum $\lambda_{R}(n)$. The $\lambda_{R}(n)$'s behave over certain averages just as the prime counting von Mangoldt function $\Lambda(n)$ does or is conjectured to do. We also…

We exhibit a class of Schottky subgroups of $\mathbf{PU}(1,n)$ ($n \geq 2$) which we call well-positioned and show that the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set $\Lambda_\Gamma$ associated with such a subgroup $\Gamma$, with respect to the…

The class P is in fact a proper sub-class of NP. We explore topological properties of the Hamming space 2^[n] where [n]={1, 2,..., n}. With the developed theory, we show: (i) a theorem that is closely related to Erdos and Rado's sunflower…

Understanding the relationships between geometry and topology is a central theme in Riemannian geometry. We establish two results on the fundamental groups of open (complete and noncompact) $n$-manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature and…

Let $L_n(k)$ denote the least common multiple of $k$ independent random integers uniformly chosen in $\{1,2,\ldots ,n\}$. In this note, using a purely probabilistic approach, we derive a criterion for the convergence in distribution as…

We consider the problem of finding lower bounds on the number of unlabeled $n$-element lattices in some lattice family. We show that if the family is closed under vertical sum, exponential lower bounds can be obtained from vertical sums of…

We prove versions of Goldbach conjectures for Gaussian primes in arbitrary sectors. Fix an interval $\omega \subset \mathbb{T}$. There is an integer $N_\omega $, so that every odd integer $n$ with $N(n)>N_\omega $ and $\text{dist}(…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a finite set of $d\times d$ matrices with integer entries and let $m_n(\mathcal{A})$ be the maximum norm of a product of $n$ elements of $\mathcal{A}$. In this paper, we classify gaps in the growth of…

We study the growth of the local $L^2$-norms of the unitary Eisenstein series for reductive groups over number fields, in terms of their parameters. We derive a \emph{poly-logarithmic} bound on an average, for a large class of reductive…

Let G denote a closed, connected, self adjoint, noncompact subgroup of GL(n,R), and let d_{R} denote the canonical right invariant Riemannian metric on G. For v in R^{n} let G_{v} = {g in G : g(v) = v}. We obtain algebraically defined upper…

Let S be a principally embedded sl_2 subalgebra in sl_n for n > 2. A special case of results of the third author and Gregg Zuckerman implies that there exists a positive integer b(n) such that for any finite-dimensional irreducible sl_n…

We prove some distribution results for the $k$-fold divisor function in arithmetic progressions to moduli that exceed the square-root of length $X$ of the sum, with appropriate constrains and averaging on the moduli, saving a power of $X$…

We obtain formulae for the numbers of isomorphism and conjugacy classes of non-identity proper subgroups of the groups $G={\rm PSL}_2(p)$, $p$ prime, and for the numbers of those conjugacy classes which do or do not consist of…

In this article the study of the Prime Graph Question for the integral group ring of almost simple groups which have an order divisible by exactly $4$ different primes is continued. We provide more details on the recently developed "lattice…

Let $\Sym{n}$ denote the set of all permutations on $n$ labels. Let $c:[0, 1]^2\to [0, \infty)$ be a twice continuously differentiable function. A subfamily of the Mallows model is the Gibbs probability measures on $\Sym{n}$ such that…

Let $\ell$ be a rational prime number. Assuming the Gross-Kuz'min conjecture along a $\Zl$-extension $K\_{\infty}$ of a number field $K$, we show that there exist integers $\mut$, $\lat$ and $\widetilde{\nu}$ such that the exponent…
