A formula for the Hurwitz zeta function at the positive integers $k$, $\zeta(k,b)$, is created by solving the real and the imaginary parts separately and then combining them. A few different formulae for the Hurwitz zeta function are known…
We prove the nonvanishing of the twisted central critical values of a class of automorphic $L$-functions for twists by all but finitely many unitary characters in particular infinite families. While this paper focuses on $L$-functions…
Let $d\geq 2$ and $k\geq 1$ be fixed. We prove that, for every $\epsilon>0$ and every real $\beta$, there exist integers $1\leq b_1,\ldots,b_k\leq N$ such that \[ \left\|\sum_{j=1}^k b_j^{1/d}-\beta\right\| \ll_{d,k,\epsilon}…
We prove that infinite Galois extensions of number fields with Galois group of finite exponent have the Northcott property. The main novelty of our approach lies in the application of a theorem of Segal on profinite groups.
In this paper, we study the behavior of Ekedahl-Oort strata under natural embeddings between the good reductions modulo $p$ of GSpin Shimura varieties and Rapoport-Smithling-Zhang unitary Shimura varieties, a prototypical setting for the…
We obtain positive lower bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of sets of real numbers given by expressions of the form $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{a_n b_n}$, where $b_n$ satisfies some growth condition and $a_n$ lies in some set, possibly…
Regev and Stephens-Davidowitz conjectured that the Gaussian mass $\Theta_\Lambda(t) = \sum_{x \in \Lambda} e^{-t\lVert x\rVert^2}$ of any integral lattice $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is bounded above by $\Theta_{\mathbb{Z}^n}(t)$. For…
Understanding the asymptotic behavior of the number of Galois orbits of newforms in $S_k(\Gamma_0(N), \Psi)$ as the weight increases is a central problem motivated by Maeda's conjecture. For trivial nebentypus, prior work of Dieulefait,…
We revisit congruence zeta functions of smooth projective varieties over finite fields in the framework of Scholze's Berkovich motives. Via this formalism and categorical traces, we construct a new zeta function, and show that it agree with…
Let $r\in\mathbb{C}$, let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}$, let $I_K$ be the monoid of integral ideals in the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ of $K$, and let $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character. Then define the twisted ideal divisor…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of order $q$. For $q$ odd, we investigate the planarity over $\mathbb{F}_{q^3}$ of the family $$ f_{E,A,B,C,D}(X) := EX^2+ AX^{q+1}+ BX^{q^2+1}+CX^{2q} +DX^{2q^2}\in \mathbb{F}_{q}[X]. $$ Using…
We give a simple proof of a recent result by J. Schleischitz dealing with a counterexample to the uniform Littlewood conjecture. Our construction is based on simple properties of Fibonacci numbers.
In this paper, we prove that every prime $p$ which is congruent to $4,7$ modulo $9$ is the sum of two rational cubes. This is $2/3$ of Sylvester's conjecture which has a history of nearly 150 years since 1879. In the proof, we use recent…
Recent works of El Hamam described explicit fundamental systems of units for several families of multiquadratic fields of degrees 8 and 16. In the degree-8 field $L^+ = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{pq}, \sqrt{ps}),$ the corrected…
We introduce the Ceiling Continued Fractions (FCT) framework for constructing three-term Egyptian fraction representations in the Erd\H{o}s-Straus conjecture. The approach exploits divisor structures of shifted integers p+i rather than…
We develop a geometric procedure for finding the Ap\'ery set of any numerical semigroup with embedding dimension four. Previous methods of comparable strength worked only for embedding dimension three or under very specific conditions. We…
Let $\mathfrak g$ be a complex semisimple Lie algebra. We define what it means for a finite dimensional representation of $\mathfrak g$ to be rectangular and completely classify faithful rectangular representations. As an application, we…
For a fixed exponent $0 < \theta \leq 1$, it is expected that we have the prime number theorem in short intervals $\sum_{x \leq n < x+x^\theta} \Lambda(n) \sim x^\theta$ as $x \to \infty$. From the recent zero density estimates of Guth and…
We improve upon an Omega result due to Soundararajan with respect to general trigonometric polynomials having positive Fourier coefficients. Instead of Dirichlet's approximation theorem we employ the resonance method and this leads to…
In analogy with the 290-Theorem of Bhargava-Hanke, a criterion set is a finite subset $C$ of the totally positive integers in a given totally real number field such that if a quadratic form represents all elements of $C$, then it…
