Effective logarithmic two-point Chowla bounds in every window
Scott D. Hughes
We quantify the entropy-decrement proof of the logarithmically averaged two-point Chowla theorem, uniformly in the affine forms and the averaging window. For L_i(n)=a_i n+b_i with…

Scott D. Hughes
For a positive integer , let denote the natural density of the set of for which is a sum of distinct divisors of . Erdős proved that exists, gave an unspe…
