The Schrödinger density and the Talbot effect

K. I. Oskolkov (2006)

Banach Center Publications

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,...

The second moment of quadratic twists of modular L-functions

K. Soundararajan, Matthew P. Young (2010)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study the second moment of the central values of quadratic twists of a modular L -function. Unconditionally, we obtain a lower bound which matches the conjectured asymptotic formula, while on GRH we prove the asymptotic formula itself.

The Selberg-Delange method in short intervals with an application

Z. Cui, J. Wu (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

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.

The sequence of fractional parts of roots

Kevin O'Bryant (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

We study the function M θ ( n ) = 1 / θ 1 / n , where θ is a positive real number, ⌊·⌋ and · are the floor and fractional part functions, respectively. Nathanson proved, among other properties of M θ , that if log θ is rational, then for all but finitely many positive integers n, M θ ( n ) = n / l o g θ - 1 / 2 . We extend this by showing that, without any condition on θ, all but a zero-density set of integers n satisfy M θ ( n ) = n / l o g θ - 1 / 2 . Using a metric result of Schmidt, we show that almost all θ have asymptotically (log θ log x)/12 exceptional n ≤ x. Using continued...

The set of minimal distances in Krull monoids

Alfred Geroldinger, Qinghai Zhong (2016)

Acta Arithmetica

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 a = u 1 · . . . · u k . 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...
