We prove the non-planarity of a family of 3-regular graphs constructed from the solutions to the Markoff equation x2 + y2 + z2 = xyz modulo prime numbers greater than 7. The proof uses Euler characteristic and an enumeration of the short cycles in these gr ...

Let Ω(n) denote the number of prime factors of n. We show that for any bounded f:N→C one has [ \frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^N, f(\Omega(n)+1)=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^N, f(\Omega(n))+\mathrm{o}_{N\to\infty}(1). ] This yields a ...
We consider fundamental algorithmic number theoretic problems and their relation to a class of block structured Integer Linear Programs (ILPs) called 2-stage stochastic. A 2-stage stochastic ILP is an integer program of the form min{c(T)x vertical bar Ax = ...
A decomposition of multicorrelation sequences for commuting transformations along primes, Discrete Analysis 2021:4, 27 pp. Szemerédi's theorem asserts that for every positive integer k and every δ>0 there exists n such that every subset of ${1, ...
We confirm, for the primes up to 3000, the conjecture of Bourgain-Gamburd-Sarnak and Baragar on strong approximation for the Markoff surface modulo primes. For primes congruent to 3 modulo 4, we find data suggesting that some natural graphs constructed fro ...
We investigate how spectral properties of a measure-preserving system (X, B, mu, T) are reflected in the multiple ergodic averages arising from that system. For certain sequences a :N -> N, we provide natural conditions on the spectrum sigma (T) such that, ...
We prove that the Kloosterman sum changes sign infinitely often as runs over squarefree moduli with at most 10 prime factors, which improves the previous results of Fouvry and Michel, Sivak-Fischler and Matomaki, replacing 10 by 23, 18 and 15, respectively ...
We revisit a recent bound of I. Shparlinski and T. Zhang on bilinear forms with Kloosterman sums, and prove an extension for correlation sums of Kloosterman sums against Fourier coefficients of modular forms. We use these bounds to improve on earlier resul ...
Responses to a target can be sped up or slowed down by a congruent or incongruent prime, respectively. Even though presentations are rapid, the prime and the target are thought to activate motor responses in strict sequence, with prime activation preceding ...
