Let $p$ be a rational prime, let $q>1$ be a $p$-power integer, let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the field of $q$ elements and let $A=\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ be the polynomial ring over $\mathbb{F}_q$. Let $\mathfrak{n}\in A$ be a nonzero element and let…
We investigate a ratio sequence derived from the factorization of $p_{m-1} + 1$, where $p_n$ denotes the $n$th prime. For each $m \geq 3$, write $p_{m-1} + 1 = L_m R_m$ with $L_m$ the largest prime factor. Restricting to those $m$ for which…
Paul Erdos posed the following question: Is there a prime number $p>5$ such that the residues of $2!$, $3!$,\ldots, $(p-1)!$ modulo $p$ all are distinct. In this short note, we give the negative answer on this question in an elementary way.
We study the average distribution of primes of size $x$ in arithmetic progressions to moduli larger than $x^{\frac{1}{2}}$. Using arithmetic information from the works of many authors together with different variants of the original…
We develop a Dieudonn\'e theory for $p$-divisible groups using sheared Witt vectors.
We study the proportion of conics given by $(\mathcal{C}_{\mathbf{F}, \mathbf{y}}) : F_0(\mathbf{y})x_0^2 + F_1(\mathbf{y})x_1^2 = F_2( \mathbf{y})x_2^2 $ which have a rational point $\mathbf{x} = (x_0 :x_1:x_2) \in…
In this article, I derive a new approach to estimate the number of non-trivial zeros of a given Dedekind zeta function with absolute height at most $T\geq1$ counted with multiplicity. The error term in corresponding asymptotic formula…
In this paper, we describe a stratification on the reduced special fiber of the basic unramified unitary Rapoport-Zink space of signature $(1,n-1)$ and at arbitrary parahoric level. We prove the smoothness, irreducibility and compute the…
The Geil-Matsumoto bound (GM bound) constrains the number of rational points on a curve over a finite field in terms of the Weierstrass semigroup of any of the points on the curve. For general numerical semigroups, the GM bound lacks a…
We establish an asymptotic formula for counting integer solutions with smooth weights to an equation of the form $xy-zw=r$, where $r$ is a non-zero integer, with an explicit main term and a strong bound on the error term in terms of the…
A solution $(x,y,z) \in \mathbb{Z}^3-\{(0,0,0)\}$ to a generalized Fermat equation \[ Ax^a + By^b + Cz^c = 0, \] is called \emph{primitive} if $\gcd(x,y,z) = 1$. By work of Beukers, we know that in the \emph{spherical} regime (that is, when…
In this paper, we study quadratic forms in spaces of holomorphic cusp forms. We show, conditionally, that when two quadratic forms in Hecke eigenforms share no common diagonal terms, their inner product is expected to converge to the sum of…
We generalize the Cannonball Problem by introducing integer-valued and non-increasing arithmetic functions $w$. We associate these functions $w$ with certain polygons, which we call cannonball polygons. Through this correspondence, we show…
In this article, we obtain an explicit version of Heath-Brown's large sieve inequality for quadratic characters and discuss its applications to $L$-functions and quadratic fields.
In a spirit of Ap\'ery's proof of the irrationality of $\zeta(3)$, we construct a sequence $p_n/q_n$ of rational approximations to the $2$-adic zeta value $\zeta_2(5)$ which satisfy $0 < |\zeta_2(5)-p_n/q_n|_2 <…
We prove Witten zeta function of a root system $\Phi$ has high-order vanishing at negative even integers, using an integral representation involving the Hurwitz zeta function. This settles a conjecture of Kurokawa and Ochiai for a large…
Let $K$ be an absolutely unramified $p$-adic field. We establish a ramification bound, depending only on the given prime $p$ and an integer $i$, for mod $p$ Galois representations associated with Wach modules of height at most $i$. Using an…
We use classical Fourier analysis along with tools from the spectral theory of Automorphic forms to derive an asymptotic formula with a strong error term for the number of integer solutions $(a, b, c, d)$ inside the expanding box $[-X,X]^4$…
We introduce a method for producing vector-valued automorphic forms on unitary groups from scalar-valued ones. As an application, we construct an explicit example. Our strategy employs certain differential operators. It is inspired by work…
We derive precise formulas for the archimedean Euler factors occurring in certain standard Langlands $L$-functions for unitary groups. In the 1980s, Paul Garrett, as well as Ilya Piatetski-Shapiro and Stephen Rallis (independently of…
