For positive integers m and N, we estimate the rational exponential sums with denominator m over the reductions modulo m of elements of the set ℱ(N) = {s/r : r,s ∈ ℤ, gcd(r,s) = 1, N ≥ r > s ≥ 1} of Farey fractions of order N (only fractions s/r with gcd(r,m) = 1 are considered).
We show that for almost all , the inequalityhas solutions with odd prime numbers and , provided . Moreover, we give a rather sharp bound for the exceptional set.This result provides almost-all results for Goldbach numbers in sequences rather thinner than the values taken by any polynomial.
We prove upper bounds for sums of Kloosterman sums against general arithmetic weight functions. In particular, we obtain power cancellation in sums of Kloosterman sums over arithmetic progressions, which is of square-root strength in any fixed primitive congruence class up to bounds towards the Ramanujan conjecture.
La formule généralisant la loi de réciprocité quadratique de Legendre et exprimant le reste par huit de la signature d'une forme quadratique entière non dégénérée à l'aide d'une somme de Gauss est attribuée par Milnor à Milgram, la faisant remonter à Braun. Le formalisme de Witt la réduit au cas de dimension 1 que Chandrasekharan attribue à Cauchy et Kronecker. Braun soulignait que les preuves de ces formules nécessitent des moyens d'analyse. Une propriété métrique de l'octogone...
We prove analogue statements of the spherical maximal theorem of E. M. Stein, for the lattice points Zn. We decompose the discrete spherical measures as an integral of Gaussian kernels st,ε(x) = e2πi|x|2(t + iε). By using Minkowski's integral inequality it is enough to prove Lp-bounds for the corresponding convolution operators. The proof is then based on L2-estimates by analysing the Fourier transforms ^st,ε(ξ), which can be handled by making use of the circle method for exponential sums. As a...
