An arithmetic function $f$ is called a sieve function of range $Q$, if it is the convolution product of the constantly $1$ function and $g$ such that $g(q)\ll_{\varepsilon} q^{\varepsilon}$, $\forall\varepsilon>0$, for $q\leq Q$, and $g(q)=0$ for $q>Q$. Here we establish a new result on the autocorrelation of $f$ by using a famous theorem on bilinear forms of Kloosterman fractions by Duke, Friedlander and Iwaniec. In particular, for such correlations we obtain non-trivial asymptotic formulæ that are actually unreachable by the standard approach of the distribution of $f$ in the arithmetic progressions. Moreover, we apply our asymptotic formulæ to obtain new bounds for the so-called Selberg integral and symmetry integral of $f$, which are basic tools for the study of the distribution of $f$ in short intervals.
We study certain aspects of the Selberg sieve, in particular when sifting by rather thin sets of primes. We derive new results for the lower bound sieve suited especially for this setup and we apply them in particular to give a new sieve-propelled proof of Linnik's theorem on the least prime in an arithmetic progression in the case of the presence of exceptional zeros.
We give a simple proof of a standard zero-free region in the $t$-aspect for the Rankin--Selberg $L$-function $L(s,π\times \widetildeπ)$ for any unitary cuspidal automorphic representation $π$ of $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{A}_F)$ that is tempered at every nonarchimedean place outside a set of Dirichlet density zero.
On the Correlations, Selberg Integral and Symmetry of Sieve Functions in Short Intervals
我们研究了算术（实）函数f=g*1，其中g“本质有界”且支撑在[1，Q]的整数上。特别地，我们通过f的“相关性”得到了几乎所有短区间[x-h，x+h]（N<x<2N）中f的“Selberg积分”和“对称积分”的非平凡界，这些短区间超过了“经典”水平，直到分布水平，比如lambda=log Q/log N < 2/3（对于足够大的h）。这一次我们不像文[C-S]那样应用大筛不等式。准确地说，我们的方法是完全基本的。
Let $k\geq 2$ and $\mathcal{P} (n) = (A_1 n + B_1 ) \cdots (A_k n + B_k)$ where all the $A_i, B_i$ are integers. Suppose that $\mathcal{P} (n)$ has no fixed prime divisors. For each choice of $k$ it is known that there exists an integer $\varrho_k$ such that $\mathcal{P} (n)$ has at most $\varrho_k$ prime factors infinitely often. We used a new weighted sieve set-up combined with a device called an $\varepsilon$-trick to improve the possible values of $\varrho_k$ for $k\geq 7$. As a by-product of our approach, we improve the conditional possible values of $\varrho_k$ for $k\geq 4$, assuming th…
In this note we give two small results concerning the correlations of the Selberg sieve weights. We then use these estimates to derive a new (conditional) lower bound on the variance of the primes in short intervals, and also on the so-called `form factor' for the pair correlations of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function. Our bounds ultimately rely on the estimates of Bettin--Chandee for trilinear Kloosterman fractions.
We study an instance of the Affine Sieve, producing a level of distribution beyond that which can be obtained from current techniques, even assuming a Selberg/Ramanujan-type spectral gap. In particular, we consider the set of hypotenuses in a thin orbit of Pythagorean triples. Previous work [Kon07, Kon09, KO12] gave an exponent of distribution alpha < 1/12 coming from Gamburd's [Gam02] gap theta = 5/6, thereby producing R = 13 almost primes in this linear sieve problem (see Sec. 1 for definitions). If conditioned on a best possible gap theta = 1/2, the known method would give an exponent alpha…
Let $π$ be a cuspidal automorphic representation of $\operatorname{GL}_2$ over a totally real number field $F$. Let $K$ be a totally imaginary quadratic extension of $F$. We estimate central values of the $\operatorname{GL}_2 \times \operatorname{GL}_2$ Rankin-Selberg $L$-functions associated to $π$ times representations induced from Hecke characters of $K$ which are ramified only at a given prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ of $F$. More specifically, we use spectral decompositions of shifted convolution sums and relations to Fourier-Whittaker coefficients of genuine and non-genuine metaplectic forms…

By elaborating a two-dimensional Selberg sieve with asymptotics and equidistributions of Kloosterman sums from $\ell$-adic cohomology, as well as a Bombieri--Vinogradov type mean value theorem for Kloosterman sums in arithmetic progressions, it is proved that for any given primitive Hecke--Maass cusp form of trivial nebentypus, the eigenvalue of the $n$-th Hecke operator does not coincide with the Kloosterman sum $\mathrm{Kl}(1,n)$ for infinitely many squarefree $n$ with at most $100$ prime factors. This provides a partial negative answer to a problem of Katz on modular structures of Kloosterm…
