Local divisor correlations in almost all short intervals

Let $ k,l \geq 2$ be natural numbers, and let $d_k,d_l$ denote the $k$-fold and $l$-fold divisor functions, respectively. We analyse the asymptotic behavior of the sum $\sum_{x 0$ be a small fixed number and let $Φ(x)$ be a positive function that tends to infinity arbitrarily slowly as $x\to \infty$. We then show that whenever $H_1\geq(\log x)^{Φ(x)}$ and $(\log x)^{1000k\log k}\leq H_2\leq H_1^{1-\varepsilon }$, the expected asymptotic formula holds for almost all $x\in[X,2X]$ and almost all $1\leq h\leq H_2$.

On Vu's theorem in Waring's problem for thinner sequences

Let $k\in \mathbb{N}$ and $s\geq k(\log k+3.20032)$. Let $\mathbb{N}_{0}^{k}$ be the set of $k$-th powers of nonnegative integers. Assume that $ψ$ is an increasing function tending to infinity with $ψ(x)=o(\log x)$ and satifying some regularity conditions. Then, there exists a subsequence $\mathfrak{X}_{k}=\mathfrak{X}_{k}(s)\subset\mathbb{N}_{0}^{k}$ for which the number of representations $R_{s}(n;\mathfrak{X}_{k})$ of each $n\in\mathbb{N}$ as $$n=x_{1}^{k}+\ldots+x_{s}^{k}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x_{i}^{k}\in\mathfrak{X}_{k}$$ satisfies the asymptotic formula $$ R_{s}(n;\mathfrak{X}_{k})\sim \mathfrak{S}(n)ψ(n)$$ for almost all natural numbers $n$, with $\mathfrak{S}(n)$ being the singular series associated to Waring's problem. If moreover $s\geq k(\log k+4.20032)$ the above conclusion holds for almost all $n\in [X,X+\log X]$ as $X\to\infty$. Let $T(k)$ be the least natural number for which it is known that all large integers are the sum of $T(k)$ $k$-th powers of natural numbers. We also show for $k\geq 14$ and every $s\geq T(k)$ the existence of a sequence $\mathfrak{X}_{k}'\subset \mathbb{N}_{0}^{k}$ satisfying $$R_{s}(n;\mathfrak{X}_{k}')\asymp \log n$$ for every sufficiently large $n$. The latter conclusion sharpens a result of Wooley and addresses a question of Vu.

On the Erdős-Turán Conjecture and the growth of $B_{2}[g]$ sequences

When $g\in\mathbb{N}$ we say that $A\subset\mathbb{N}$ is a $B_{2}[g]$ sequence if every $m\in\mathbb{N}$ has at most $g$ distinct representations of the shape $m=b_{1}+b_{2}$ with $b_{1}\leq b_{2}$ and $b_{1},b_{2}\in A$. We show for every $0<\varepsilon<1$ that whenever $g>\frac{1}{\varepsilon}$ then there is a $B_{2}[g]$ sequence $A$ having the property that every sufficiently large $n\in\mathbb{N}$ can be written as $$n=a_{1}+a_{2}+a_{3},\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ a_{3}\leq n^{\varepsilon}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ a_{i}\in A,$$ and satisfying for large $x$ the estimate $$\lvert A\cap [1,x]\rvert\gg x^{g/(2g+1)}.$$ The above lower bound improves upon earlier results of Cilleruelo and of Erdős and Renyi.

Twisted mixed moments of the Riemann zeta function

We analyse a collection of twisted mixed moments of the Riemann zeta function and establish the validity of asymptotic formulae comprising on some instances secondary terms of the shape $P(\log T) T^{C}$ for a suitable constant $C<1$ and a polynomial $P(x)$. Such examinations are performed both unconditionally and under the assumption of a weaker version of the $abc$-conjecture.

On Waring's problem in sums of three cubes

We investigate the asymptotic formula for the number of representations of a large positive integer as a sum of $k$-th powers of integers represented as the sums of three positive cubes, counted with multiplicities. We also obtain a lower bound for the number of representations when the sums of three cubes are counted without multiplicities.

On Waring's problem in sums of three cubes for smaller powers

We give an upper bound for the minimum $s$ with the property that every sufficiently large integer can be represented as the sum of $s$ positive $k$-th powers of integers represented as the sum of three positive cubes for the cases $2\leq k\leq 4.$

Uniform bounds in Waring's problem over some diagonal forms

We investigate the existence of representations of every large positive integer as a sum of $k$-th powers of integers represented as certain diagonal forms. In particular, we consider a family of diagonal forms and discuss the problem of giving a uniform upper bound over the family for the number of variables needed to have such representations.
