Component-by-component construction of shifted Halton sequences

Abstract

We study quasi-Monte Carlo integration in a weighted anchored Sobolev space. As the underlying integration nodes we consider Halton sequences in prime bases $\boldsymbol{p}=(p_1,\ldots,p_s)$ which are shifted with a $\boldsymbol{p}$-adic shift based on $\boldsymbol{p}$-adic arithmetic. The error is studied in the worst-case setting. In a recent paper, Hellekalek together with the authors of this article proved optimal error bounds in the root mean square sense, where the mean was extended over the uncountable set of all possible $\boldsymbol{p}$-adic shifts. Here we show that candidates for good shifts can in fact be chosen from a finite set and can be found by a component-by-component algorithm.

Asymptotic density of k-almost primes

Landau's well known asymptotic formula $$N_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : Ω(n)=k\}\mid \ \sim \left( \frac{x}{\log x} \right) \frac{(\log\log x)^{k-1}}{(k - 1)!}\ \ (x \rightarrow \infty),$$ which also holds for $$π_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : ω(n)=k\}\mid,$$ is known to be fairly poor for $k > 1$, and when $k$ is allowed to tend to infinity with $x$, the study of $N_k(x)$ and $π_k(x)$ becomes very technical [1, Chapter II.6, $§$ 6.1, p.200]. I hope to show that the method described below provides not only a more accurate approach, but rather increases in its asymptotic accuracy as $k$ tends to infinity.

Real quadratic base changes for $\mathrm{GL}_3$ and integral periods relations

We prove a $p$-adic divisibility between the automorphic periods of a cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}_3(\mathbb{Q})$ and the periods of its Arthur-Clozel's base change to some real quadratic field $E$. This generalizes earlier works of Tilouine-Urban and of Hida in the case of classical modular forms. The divisibility we prove involves a new kind of automorphic periods, defined using the middle degree of the cuspidal cohomology of $\mathrm{GL}_3(E)$, instead of the top or bottom degrees. We also investigate the Rogawski's stable base change from the quasi-split unitary group $U_E$ associated with $E$ to $\mathrm{GL}_3(E)$. In this situation, we also obtain some results toward a $p$-adic divisibility of automorphic periods.
