Quantitative Gowers uniformity of the primes in intervals of length

Joni Teräväinen

We prove the first quantitative bounds for the Gowers norms of the von Mangoldt function minus a Siegel corrected model function in short intervals. The result applies to intervals…

Sum-product patterns in the shifted primes

Florian K. Richter, Joni Teräväinen

We show that the set of shifted primes contains infinitely many sum-product patterns of the form with arbitrarily large distinct integers. More…

On the generation of multiplicative groups by small primes

Oleksiy Klurman, Igor E. Shparlinski, Joni Teräväinen

Motivated by a question of Regev arising from his improved quantum factoring algorithm, we study how many small primes are needed to generate the group $({\mathbb Z}/q{\mathbb Z})^…

On the local Fourier uniformity problem for small sets

Adam Kanigowski, Mariusz Lemańczyk, Florian Karl Richter +1

We consider vanishing properties of exponential sums of the Liouville function of the form $$ \lim_{H\to\infty}\limsup_{X\to\infty}\frac{1}{\log X}\sum_{m\leq X}\frac{1}{m}\sup…

On a Bohr set analogue of Chowla's conjecture

Joni Teräväinen, Aled Walker

Let denote the Liouville function. We show that the logarithmic mean of is whenever are positive reals with $α_1/α_…

Gaussian almost primes in almost all narrow sectors

Olli Järviniemi, Joni Teräväinen

We show that almost all sectors of the disc of area contain products of exactly two Gaussian primes, and that almost all secto…

Products of primes in arithmetic progressions

Kaisa Matomäki, Joni Teräväinen

A conjecture of Erdős states that, for any large prime , every reduced residue class can be represented as a product of two primes . We establi…

Bateman-Horn, polynomial Chowla and the Hasse principle with probability 1

Tim Browning, Efthymios Sofos, Joni Teräväinen

With probability 1, we assess the average behaviour of various arithmetic functions at the values of degree d polynomials f that are ordered by height. This allows us to establish…

Higher uniformity of arithmetic functions in short intervals I. All intervals

Kaisa Matomäki, Xuancheng Shao, Terence Tao +1

We study higher uniformity properties of the Möbius function , the von Mangoldt function , and the divisor functions on short intervals with $X^{θ+\varepsilon…

Beyond the Erdős discrepancy problem in function fields

Oleksiy Klurman, Alexander P. Mangerel, Joni Teräväinen

We characterize the limiting behavior of partial sums of multiplicative functions . In contrast to the number field setting, the characterization depends…

On the Hardy-Littlewood-Chowla conjecture on average

Jared Duker Lichtman, Joni Teräväinen

There has been recent interest in a hybrid form of the celebrated conjectures of Hardy-Littlewood and of Chowla. We prove that for any and distinct integers $h_2,\ldot…

The Hardy--Littlewood--Chowla conjecture in the presence of a Siegel zero

Terence Tao, Joni Teräväinen

Assuming that Siegel zeros exist, we prove a hybrid version of the Chowla and Hardy--Littlewood prime tuples conjectures. Thus, for an infinite sequence of natural numbers , and…

Quantitative bounds for Gowers uniformity of the Möbius and von Mangoldt functions

Terence Tao, Joni Teräväinen

We establish quantitative bounds on the Gowers norms of the Möbius function and the von Mangoldt function for all , with error terms of shape $O((\log\log N)^{-…

A transference principle for systems of linear equations, and applications to almost twin primes

Pierre-Yves Bienvenu, Xuancheng Shao, Joni Teräväinen

The transference principle of Green and Tao enabled various authors to transfer Szemerédi's theorem on long arithmetic progressions in dense sets to various sparse sets of integers…

On the Liouville function at polynomial arguments

Joni Teräväinen

Let denote the Liouville function. A problem posed by Chowla and by Cassaigne-Ferenczi-Mauduit-Rivat-Sárközy asks to show that if , then the sequence $λ(…

Composite values of shifted exponentials

Olli Järviniemi, Joni Teräväinen

A well-known open problem asks to show that is composite for almost all values of . This was proposed by Gil Kalai as a possible Polymath project, and was posed original…

Correlations of multiplicative functions in function fields

Oleksiy Klurman, Alexander P. Mangerel, Joni Teräväinen

We develop an approach to study character sums, weighted by a multiplicative function , of the form \begin{equation} \sum_{G\in \mathcal{M}_N}f(G)χ(G)ξ(G)…

The Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem for nilsequences

Xuancheng Shao, Joni Teräväinen

We establish results of Bombieri-Vinogradov type for the von Mangoldt function twisted by a nilsequence. In particular, we obtain Bombieri-Vinogradov type results for the vo…

Multiplicative functions that are close to their mean

Oleksiy Klurman, Alexander P. Mangerel, Cosmin Pohoata +1

We introduce a simple sieve-theoretic approach to studying partial sums of multiplicative functions which are close to their mean value. This enables us to obtain various new resul…
