By juxtaposing ideas from fractal geometry and dynamical systems, Furstenberg proposed a series of conjectures in the late 1960's that explore the relationship between digit expansions with respect to multiplicatively independent bases. In this work, we in ...
Recently, we have established and used the generalized Littlewood theorem concerning contour integrals of the logarithm of an analytical function to obtain a few new criteria equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis. Here, the same theorem is applied to calcul ...
In this thesis we consider the problem of estimating the correlation of Hecke eigenvalues of GL2 automorphic forms with a class of functions of algebraic origin defined over finite fields called trace functions. The class of trace functions is vast and inc ...
In this paper we use the Riemann zeta distribution to give a new proof of the Erdos-Kac Central Limit Theorem. That is, if zeta(s) = Sigma(n >= 1) (1)(s)(n) , s > 1, then we consider the random variable X-s with P(X-s = n) = (1) (zeta) ( ...
We consider fundamental algorithmic number theoretic problems and their relation to a class of block structured Integer Linear Programs (ILPs) called 2-stage stochastic. A 2-stage stochastic ILP is an integer program of the form min{c(T)x vertical bar Ax = ...
We study the elliptic curves given by y(2) = x(3) + bx + t(3n+1) over global function fields of characteristic 3 ; in particular we perform an explicit computation of the L-function by relating it to the zeta function of a certain superelliptic curve u(3) ...
We prove an asymptotic formula for the second moment of a product of two Dirichlet L-functions on the critical line, which has a power saving in the error term and which is uniform with respect to the involved Dirichlet characters. As special cases we give ...
Even with correct training, up to 25% of children never master handwriting like their peers. While research shows a correlation between handwriting difficulties and school failure, these difficulties can also impact children in their self esteem and behavi ...
We prove nontrivial bounds for general bilinear forms in hyper-Kloosterman sums when the sizes of both variables may be below the range controlled by Fourier-analytic methods (Polya-Vinogradov range). We then derive applications to the second moment of cus ...
This is a survey for the 2015 AMS Summer Institute on Algebraic Geometry about the Frobenius type techniques recently used extensively in positive characteristic algebraic geometry. We first explain the basic ideas through simple versions of the fundamenta ...
We study the average of the product of the central values of two L-functions of modular forms f and g twisted by Dirichlet characters to a large prime modulus q. As our principal tools, we use spectral theory to develop bounds on averages of shifted convol ...
We revisit a recent bound of I. Shparlinski and T. Zhang on bilinear forms with Kloosterman sums, and prove an extension for correlation sums of Kloosterman sums against Fourier coefficients of modular forms. We use these bounds to improve on earlier resul ...
We use Masser's counting theorem to prove a lower bound for the canonical height in powers of elliptic curves. We also prove the Galois case of the elliptic Lehmer problem, combining Kummer theory and Masser's result with bounds on the rank and torsion of ...
In this paper, we present an exact Riemann solver for one-dimensional systems of conservation laws. The method is based on an offline-online computational decomposition. During the offline stage, we generate an accurate surrogate model for the solution to ...
We prove that the Kloosterman sum changes sign infinitely often as runs over squarefree moduli with at most 10 prime factors, which improves the previous results of Fouvry and Michel, Sivak-Fischler and Matomaki, replacing 10 by 23, 18 and 15, respectively ...
We show that the exponent of distribution of the ternary divisor function d(3) in arithmetic progressions to prime moduli is at least 1/2 + 1/46, improving results of Friedlander-Iwaniec and Heath-Brown. Furthermore, when averaging over a fixed residue cla ...
We study sums over primes of trace functions of l-adic sheaves. Using an extension of our earlier results on algebraic twists of modular forms to the case of Eisenstein series and bounds for Type II sums based on similar applications of the Riemann hypothe ...
We show that Li's criterion equivalent to the Riemann hypothesis, i.e., the statement that the sums k(n) = Sigma(rho)(1-(1-1/rho)(n)) over zeros of the Riemann xi-function and the derivatives lambda(n) equivalent to 1/(n-1)! d(n)/dz(n)(z(n-1) ln (xi(z)))ve ...
The Weil-Barner explicit formula is applied to the prime counting function and to the problem of numerical partial verification of the Riemann hypothesis. ...
Let Pi be a cuspidal automorphic representation for GL(4) over a number field F. We obtain unconditional lower bounds on the number of places at which the Satake parameters are not "too large". In the case of self-dual Pi with non-trivial central character ...
