The optimal scale in Linnik's microsquare problem for almost all integers

Yu-Chen Sun, Lilu Zhao

We prove that, for any positive function , almost all positive integers satisfying and can be written as , where $…

An improved lower bound for odd integers not of the form

Yuchen Ding, Yu-Chen Sun, Lilu Zhao

Let be sufficiently large and \[ N(x)=\big|\bigl\{n\le x:n\ \text{is odd and }n\ne p+2^a+2^b \textrm{ with } p \text{ a prime and } a,b\in \mathbb{N}\bigr\}\big|. \] Motivated…

Representations of positive integers by three almost-prime squares

Yue-Feng She, Yu-Chen Sun, Guang-Liang Zhou

Let denote an integer with at most prime factors, counted with multiplicity. It is known that every sufficiently large integer satisfying and $…

Linear equations in Piatetski-Shapiro primes

Xuancheng Shao, Yu-Chen Sun

We establish discorrelation estimates between the Piatetski-Shapiro prime set \[ \mathcal{P}_γ := \{p \text{ is prime and } p = \lfloor n^{1/γ} \rfloor \text{ for some } n \in \mat…

Small values of signed harmonic sums and logarithmic means of multiplicative functions

Oleksiy Klurman, Marc Munsch, Yu-Chen Sun

We construct sequences with small values of signed harmonic sums \[ \sum_{n\in\mathcal{A}\cap[1,N]}\frac{a_n}{n}, \] for any reas…

Large sieve inequality for sums of Legendre symbols over short intervals

Marc Munsch, Igor Shparlinski, Yu-Chen Sun +1

Using the Burgess bound and the Selberg sieve, we obtain an upper bound for the second moment of sums of Legendre symbols over intervals , with the modulus ranging over primes . Th…
