For a given finitely generated multiplicative subgroup of the rationals which possibly contain negative numbers, we derive, subject to GRH, formulas for the densities of primes for which the index of the reduction group has a given value.…

Chebyshev observed in a letter to Fuss that there tends to be more primes of the form $4n+3$ than of the form $4n+1$. The general phenomenon, which is referred to as Chebyshev's bias, is that primes tend to be biased in their distribution…

Let $Y$ be a smooth quasi-projective complex variety equipped with a simple normal crossings compactification. We show that integral points are potentially dense in the (relative) character varieties parametrizing $SL_2$-local systems on…

In this paper, for any integer $k\geq 2$, we study the distribution of the visible lattice points in certain generalized P\'{o}lya's walk on $\mathbb{Z}^k$: perturbed P\'{o}lya's walk and twisted P\'{o}lya's walk. For the first case, we…

We introduce the notion of primitive elements in arbitrary truncated $p$-divisible groups. By design, the scheme of primitive elements is finite and locally free over the base. Primitive elements generalize the "points of exact order $N$,"…

The Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$ is a meromorphic complex-valued function of the complex variable $s$ with the unique pole at $s=1$. It plays a central role in the studies of prime numbers. The upper bound in the critical strip $0\le…

Two lattice points are visible from one another if there is no lattice point on the open line segment joining them. Let $S$ be a finite subset of $\mathbb{Z}^k$. The asymptotic density of the set of lattice points, visible from all points…

We consider the set of points chosen randomly, independently and uniformly in the $d$-dimensional spherical layer. A set of points is called $1$-convex if all its points are vertices of the convex hull of this set. In \cite{3} an estimate…

In this work we consider an ensemble of random $\mathbb{Z}^d$-shifts of finite type ($\mathbb{Z}^d$-SFTs) and prove several results concerning the behavior of typical systems with respect to emptiness, entropy, and periodic points. These…

Let $f(z)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a(n)q^n\in S^{\text{new}}_ k (\Gamma_0(N))$ be a newform with squarefree level $N$ that does not have complex multiplication. For a prime $p$, define $\theta_p\in[0,\pi]$ to be the angle for which $a(p)=2p^{( k…

Let $\mathrm{d}(A)$ be the asymptotic density (if it exists) of a sequence of integers $A$. For any real numbers $0\leq\alpha\leq\beta\leq 1$, we solve the question of the existence of a sequence $A$ of positive integers such that…

Let $N(\sigma,T)$ denote the number of nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function with real part greater than $\sigma$ and imaginary part between $0$ and $T$. We provide explicit upper bounds for $N(\sigma,T)$ commonly referred to as a…

We introduce a sequence representation of a random variable $X$ supported on a compact interval $[a,b]$, which we call a primitive sequence. We construct this sequence by repeatedly antidifferentiating the associated cumulative distribution…

In 2013, Zhi-Wei Sun proposed a Romanov-type conjecture stating that every integer $n > 1$ can be written as $n = k + m$ with $k, m \ge 1$ such that $2^k + m$ is a prime. In this paper, we unconditionally prove that the natural numbers…
