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 \m…

Quantitative bounds in a popular polynomial Szemerédi theorem
Xuancheng Shao, Mengdi Wang
We obtain polylogarithmic bounds in the polynomial Szemerédi theorem when the polynomials have distinct degrees and zero constant terms. Specifically, let $P_1, \dots, P_m \in \ma…
