The Romanoff theorem revisited
We study the local properties of the time-dependent probability density function for the free quantum particle in a box, i.e. the squared magnitude of the solution of the Cauchy initial value problem for the Schrödinger equation with zero potential, and the periodic initial data. √δ-families of initial functions are considered whose squared magnitudes approximate the periodic Dirac δ-function. The focus is on the set of rectilinear domains where the density has a special character, in particular,...
We study the second moment of the central values of quadratic twists of a modular -function. Unconditionally, we obtain a lower bound which matches the conjectured asymptotic formula, while on GRH we prove the asymptotic formula itself.
We establish a general mean value result for arithmetic functions over short intervals with the Selberg-Delange method. As an application, we generalize the Deshouillers-Dress-Tenenbaum arcsine law on divisors to the short interval case.
We study the function , where θ is a positive real number, ⌊·⌋ and · are the floor and fractional part functions, respectively. Nathanson proved, among other properties of , that if log θ is rational, then for all but finitely many positive integers n, . We extend this by showing that, without any condition on θ, all but a zero-density set of integers n satisfy . Using a metric result of Schmidt, we show that almost all θ have asymptotically (log θ log x)/12 exceptional n ≤ x. Using continued...
Let H be a Krull monoid with class group G. Then every nonunit a ∈ H can be written as a finite product of atoms, say . The set (a) of all possible factorization lengths k is called the set of lengths of a. If G is finite, then there is a constant M ∈ ℕ such that all sets of lengths are almost arithmetical multiprogressions with bound M and with difference d ∈ Δ*(H), where Δ*(H) denotes the set of minimal distances of H. We show that max Δ*(H) ≤ maxexp(G)-2,(G)-1 and that equality holds if every...
