We prove near-optimal upper bounds for the odd moments of the distribution of coprime residues in short intervals, confirming a conjecture of Montgomery and Vaughan. As an application we prove near-optimal upper bounds for the average of…

The second Hardy-Littlewood conjecture, that $\pi(x)+\pi(y) \geq \pi(x+y)$ for integers $x$ and $y$ with $\min\{x,y\}\geq 2$, was formulated in 1923. It continues to attract attention to this day, almost 100 years later. In 1975 Udrescu…

In this note, we generalize an ancient Greek inequality about the sequence of primes to the cases of arithmetic progressions even multivariable polynomials with integral coefficients. We also refine Bouniakowsky's conjecture [16] and…

We study the arithmetic (geometric) progressions in the $x$-coordinates of quadratic points on smooth projective planar curves defined over a number field $k$. Unless the curve is hyperelliptic, we prove that these progressions must be…

We prove $q$-variation estimates, $q>2$, on $\ell^{p}$ spaces for averages along primes (with $1<p<\infty$) and polynomials (with $\big| \frac1p - \frac12 \big| < \frac{1}{2(d+1)}$, where $d$ is the degree of the polynomial). This improves…

Six conjectures on pairs of consecutive primes are listed in this paper, together with examples for each case.

We prove an analogue of a result by Goldston, Pintz and Yildirim for small gaps between primes that split completely in an abelian number field. We prove both a conditional result assuming the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture, and an…

In this expository article, we describe the recent approach, motivated by ergodic theory, towards detecting arithmetic patterns in the primes, and in particular establishing that the primes contain arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions.…

A 1976 result from Norton may be used to give an asymptotic (but not explicit) description of the constant in Mertens' second theorem for primes in arithmetic progressions. Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we give an effective…

It is shown that the cubic nonconventional ergodic averages of any order with a bounded aperiodic multiplicative function or von Mangoldt weights converge almost surely.

This paper studies explicit and theoretical bounds for several interesting quantities in number theory, conditionally on the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. Specifically, we improve the existing explicit bounds for the least quadratic…

We show that once $\theta>17/30$, every sufficiently long interval $[x,x+x^\theta]$ contains many $k$-term arithmetic progressions of primes, uniformly in the starting point $x$. More precisely, for each fixed $k\ge3$ and $\theta>17/30$,…

We prove an explicit error term for the $\psi(x,\chi)$ function assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis. Using this estimate, we prove a conditional explicit bound for the number of primes in arithmetic progressions.

We address the prime geodesic theorem in arithmetic progressions, and resolve conjectures of Golovchanski\u{\i}-Smotrov (1999). In particular, we prove that the traces of closed geodesics on the modular surface do not equidistribute in the…

Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we prove the latest explicit version of the prime number theorem for short intervals. Using this result, and assuming the generalised Riemann hypothesis for Dirichlet $L$-functions is true, we then establish…

We examine the prime gaps using a statistical approach. It is first shown that the Andrica's conjecture is true for half or more cases. Using the arguments of averages, it is further shown that Andrica's conjecture is true. We further…

We prove that the average of the $k$-th smallest prime quadratic non-residue modulo a prime approximates the $2k$-th smallest prime.

Given good knowledge on the even moments, we derive asymptotic formulas for $\lambda$-th moments of primes in short intervals and prove "equivalence" result on odd moments. We also provide numerical evidence in support of these results.

A Hardy-Littlewood integral inequality on finite intervals with a concave weight is established. Given a function f on an interval [a,b], it is shown that the square of the weighted L^2 norm of its derivative f' is bounded by the product of…

We prove the logarithmic convexity of certain quantities, which measure the quadratic exponential decay at infinity and within two characteristic hyperplanes of solutions of Schr\"odinger evolutions. As a consequence we obtain some…
