Algebraic analogues of results of Alladi-Johnson using the Chebotarev Density Theorem

Abstract

\textit{\small We aim to get an algebraic generalization of Alladi-Johnson's (A-J) work on Duality between Prime Factors and the Prime Number Theorem for Arithmetic Progressions - II, using the Chebotarev Density Theorem (CDT). It has been proved by A-J, that for all positive integers $k,\ell$ such that $1\leq \ell\leq k$ and $(\ell,k)=1$,} \begin{equation} \sum_{n\geq 2;\;p_1(n) \equiv \ell\;(mod\;k)}\frac{μ(n)ω(n)}{n} = 0, \nonumber \end{equation} \textit{{\small where $μ(n)$ is the Möbius function, $ω(n)$ is the number of distinct prime factors of $n$, and $p_1(n)$ is the smallest prime factor of $n$. In our work here, we will prove the following result: If $C$ is a conjugacy class of the Galois group of some finite extension $K$ of $\mathbb{Q}$, then}} \begin{equation} \sum_{ n \geq 2;\;\left[\frac{K/\mathbb{Q}}{p_1(n)}\right]=C} \frac{μ(n)ω(n)}{n} = 0. \nonumber \end{equation} \textit{\small where $\left[\frac{K/\mathbb{Q}{p_1(n)}\right]$ is the Artin symbol. When $K$ is a cyclotomic extension of $\mathbb{Q}$, this reduces to the exact case of A-J's result.}}

On single-variable Witten zeta functions of rank two and three

By introducing a novel integration kernel for the Mellin transform, we uncover many previously unknown and intriguing properties of the Witten zeta functions of rank two and three. Detailed results concerning their pole locations, residues, and special values are obtained. We propose a non-trivial conjecture regarding their derivatives at the origin, which seems to encode deep information about the root system. We also discuss their behavior at negative integers, highlighting a connection with Eisenstein series and a $p$-adic observation.

On graded Lie algebras associated to once-punctured elliptic curves with complex multiplication

We study a graded Lie algebra arising from the Galois action on the pro-$p$ fundamental group of a once-punctured elliptic curve with complex multiplication. Among other things, we provide a minimal generating set of the rationalized Lie algebra under suitable assumptions. The proof is based on a slight variant of the theory of weighted completion of profinite groups developed by Hain and Matsumoto.

Burgess-type volume dependent bounds for character sums over $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$

We establish a Burgess-type bound for short multiplicative character sums over finite fields $\mathbb{F}_{p^n}$. Let \[ B=\left\{\sum_{i=1}^{n}x_iω_i: N_i+1\le x_i\le N_i+H_i,1\le i\le n\right\}\subseteq\mathbb{F}_{p^n}, \] where $1\le H_i\le p$ for all $1\le i\le n$, and the side lengths satisfy $H_1\le H_2\le\cdots\le H_n.$ We prove that if the side lengths satisfy certain lower bounds in terms of the two largest side lengths, then a nontrivial cancellation occurs in the character sum over the boxes. This generalizes the work of Gabdullin \cite{GB} in dimensions $n=2,3$ to arbitrary dimension. This also generalizes the character sum estimate of Konyagin \cite{Kon} where each of the side lengths of the boxes are greater than $p^{1/4}$. The proof combines techniques from the geometry of numbers, multiplicative energy estimates, and Katz's bounds for multiplicative character sums.
