We obtain asymptotic formulae with optimal error terms for the number of lattice points under and near a dilation of the standard parabola, the former improving upon an old result of Popov. These results can be regarded as achieving the square root cancellation in the context of the parabola, whereas its analogues are wide open conjectures for the circle and the hyperbola. We also obtain essentially sharp upper bounds for the latter lattice points problem associated with the parabola. Our proofs utilize techniques in Fourier analysis, quadratic Gauss sums and character sums.

AbstractWe estimate the number of relatively r-prime lattice points in {K^{m}} with their components having a norm less than x, where K is a number field. The error terms are estimated in terms of x and the discriminant D of the field K, as both x and D grow. The proof uses the bounds of Dedekind zeta functions. We obtain uniform upper bounds as K runs through number fields of any degree under assuming the Lindelöf hypothesis. We also show unconditional results for abelian extensions with a degree less than or equal to 6.

In this paper, we use the elementary methods and properties of classical Gauss sums to study the calculation problems of some mean values of character sums of special polynomials, and obtained several interesting calculation formulae for them. As an application, we give a criterion for determining that 2 is the cubic residue for any odd prime p.

Abstract We obtain bounds for the number of variables required to establish Hasse principles, both for the existence of solutions and for asymptotic formulæ, for systems of additive equations containing forms of differing degree but also multiple forms of like degree. Apart from the very general estimates of Schmidt and Browning–Heath–Brown, which give weak results when specialized to the diagonal situation, this is the first result on such “hybrid” systems. We also obtain specialized results for systems of quadratic and cubic forms, where we are able to take advantage of some of the stronger methods available in that setting. In particular, we achieve essentially square root cancellation for systems consisting of one cubic and r quadratic equations.

This chapter provesMarkoff’s theorem for approximations: if x is an irrational real number such that its Lagrange number L(x) is <3, then the continued fraction of x is ultimately periodic and has as periodic pattern a Christoffel word written on the alphabet 11, 22. Moreover, the bound is attained: this means that there are indeed convergents whose error terms are correctly bounded. For this latter result, one needs a lot of technical results, which use the notion of good and bad approximation of a real number x satisfying L(x) <3: the ranks of the good and bad convergents are precisely given. These results are illustrated by the golden ratio and the number 1 + square root of 2.

AbstractLet M be a convex body such that the boundary has positive curvature. Then by a well developed theory dating back to Landau and Hlawka for large λ the number of lattice points in λM is given by G(λM) = V(λM) + O(λd−1−ε(d)) for some positive ε(d). Here we give for general convex bodies the weaker estimatewhere SZd (M) denotes the lattice surface area of M. The term SZd is optimal for all convex bodies and o(λd−1) cannot be improved in general. We prove that the same estimate even holds if we allow small deformations of M.Further we deal with families {Pλ} of convex bodies where the only condition is that the inradius tends to infinity. Here we havewhere the convex body K satisfies some simple condition, V(Pλ; K; 1) is some mixed volume and S(Pλ) is the surface area of Pλ.

Abstract We give a precise estimate for the number of lattice points in certain bounded subsets of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ that involve “hyperbolic spikes” and occur naturally in multiplicative Diophantine approximation. We use Wilkie’s o-minimal structure $\mathbb{R}_{\exp }$ and expansions thereof to formulate our counting result in a general setting. We give two different applications of our counting result. The 1st one establishes nearly sharp upper bounds for sums of reciprocals of fractional parts and thereby sheds light on a question raised by Lê and Vaaler, extending previous work of Widmer and of the author. The 2nd application establishes new examples of linear subspaces of Khintchine type thereby refining a theorem by Huang and Liu. For the proof of our counting result, we develop a sophisticated partition method that is crucial for further upcoming work on sums of reciprocals of fractional parts over distorted boxes.

The goal of this paper is to solve the computational problem of one kind rational polynomials of classical Gauss sums, applying the analytic means and the properties of the character sums. Finally, we will calculate a meaningful recursive formula for it.

AbstractIn [Gorodnik and Nevo,Counting lattice points, J. Reine Angew. Math.663(2012), 127–176] an effective solution of the lattice point counting problem in general domains in semisimpleS-algebraic groups and affine symmetric varieties was established. The method relies on the mean ergodic theorem for the action ofGonG/Γ, and implies uniformity in counting over families of lattice subgroups admitting a uniform spectral gap. In the present paper we extend some methods developed in [Nevo and Sarnak,Prime and almost prime integral points on principal homogeneous spaces, Acta Math.205(2010), 361–402] and use them to establish several useful consequences of this property, including:(1)effective upper bounds on lifting for solutions of congruences in affine homogeneous varieties;(2)effective upper bounds on the number of integral points on general subvarieties of semisimple group varieties;(3)effective lower bounds on the number of almost prime points on symmetric varieties;(4)effective upper bounds on almost prime solutions of congruences in homogeneous varieties.

AbstractThe main purpose of this paper is, using the estimates for character sums and the analytic method, to study the 2k-th power mean of the inversion of Dirichlet L-functions with the weight of general quadratic Gauss sums, and give two interesting asymptotic formulas.
