Let $A$ be a simple abelian variety of dimension $g$ over the field $\mathbb{F}_q$. The paper provides improvements on the Weil estimates for the size of $A(\mathbb{F}_q)$. For an arbitrary value of $q$ we prove $(\lfloor(\sqrt{q}-1)^2…

This note simplifies the proof of a recent result on the oscillation of the prime product in Martens Theorem, and provides a quantitative expression for the error term. In addition, the corresponding oscillation results for the finite sums…

We study product sets of finite arithmetic progressions of polynomials over a finite field. We prove a lower bound for the size of the product set, uniform in a wide range of parameters. We apply our results to resolve the function field…

It is known that there are infinitely-many prime numbers which take the form of a polynomial of degree one with integer coefficients, this is Dirichlet's theorem. We use an elementary sieving argument together with bounds on the prime…

We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of primes of the shape $a^2 +p^4$, thereby refining the well known work of Friedlander and Iwaniec. Along the way, we prove a result on equidistribution of primes up to $x$, in which the moduli…

We prove that if $A \subset {\Bbb F}_q$ is such that $$|A|>q^{{1/2}+\frac{1}{2d}},$$ then $${\Bbb F}_q^{*} \subset dA^2=A^2+...+A^2 d \text{times},$$ where $$A^2=\{a \cdot a': a,a' \in A\},$$ and where ${\Bbb F}_q^{*}$ denotes the…

In this paper, we investigate large values of Dirichlet character sums with multiplicative coefficients $\sum_{n\le N}f(n)\chi(n)$. We prove a new Omega result in the region $\exp((\log q)^{\frac12+\delta})\le N\le\sqrt q$, where $q$ is the…

The Erd\H{o}s primitive set conjecture states that the sum $f(A) = \sum_{a\in A}\frac{1}{a\log a}$, ranging over any primitive set $A$ of positive integers, is maximized by the set of prime numbers. Recently Laib, Derbal, and Mechik proved…

We prove that if $f(n)$ is a Steinhaus or Rademacher random multiplicative function, there almost surely exist arbitrarily large values of $x$ for which $|\sum_{n \leq x} f(n)| \geq \sqrt{x} (\log\log x)^{1/4+o(1)}$. This is the first such…

We prove a range of new sum-product type growth estimates over a general field $\mathbb{F}$, in particular the special case $\mathbb{F}=\mathbb{F}_p$. They are unified by the theme of "breaking the $3/2$ threshold", epitomising the previous…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. Using I. M. Vinogradov's bilinear estimate, we present an elementary approach to estimate nontrivially the character sum $$ \sum_{x\in H}\chi(x+a),\qquad a\in\Bbb F_p^*, $$ where $H<\Bbb F_p^*$ is a multiplicative…

Besides various asymptotic results on the concept of sum-product bases in $\mathbb{N}_0$, we consider by probabilistic arguments the existence of thin sets $A,A'$ of integers such that $AA+A=\mathbb{N}_0$ and $A'A'+A'A'=\mathbb{N}_0$.

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be a finite field, $\mathbb{F}_{q^s}$ be an extension of $\mathbb{F}_q$, let $f(x)\in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ be a polynomial of degree $n$ with $\gcd(n,q)=1$. We present a recursive formula for evaluating the exponential sum…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be a finite field, $\mathbb{F}_{q^s}$ be an extension of $\mathbb{F}_q$, let $f(x)\in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$ be a polynomial of degree $n$ with $\gcd(n,q)=1$. We present a recursive formula for evaluating the exponential sum…

For a prime $p\equiv 1 \,(\bmod{4})$, let \[ \varepsilon = \frac{1}{2}\left( t + u\sqrt{p}\right) \] be the fundamental unit of the real quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{p})$. In 1951, N. Ankeny, E. Artin, and S. Chowla asked whether $p$…

Let $M(x)$ denote the median largest prime factor of the integers in the interval $[1,x]$. We prove that $$M(x)=x^{\frac{1}{\sqrt{e}}\exp(-\text{li}_{f}(x)/x)}+O_{\epsilon}(x^{\frac{1}{\sqrt{e}}}e^{-c(\log x)^{3/5-\epsilon}})$$ where…

Let $A(s) = \sum_n a_n n^{-s}$ be a Dirichlet series admitting meromorphic continuation to the complex plane. Assume we know the location of the poles of $A(s)$ with $|\Im s| \leq T$, and their residues, for some large constant $T$. It is…

New lower bounds involving sum, difference, product, and ratio sets for $A\subset \C$ are given.

We find an upper bound for the sum $\sum_{x<n\leq 2x}\textbf{1}_{\mathbb{P}}(n+h_{i_{1}})\cdots\textbf{1}_{\mathbb{P}}(n+h_{i_{m+1}})w_{n}$, where $(h_{i_{1}},...,h_{i_{m+1}})$ is any $(m+1)$-tuple of elements in the admissible set…

Through an inversion approach, we suggest a possible estimation for the absolute value of Mertens function $\vert M(x) \vert$ that $ \left\vert M(x) \right\vert \sim \left[\frac{1}{\pi \sqrt{\varepsilon}(x+\varepsilon)}\right]\sqrt{x}$…
