We extend the usual Hilbert property for varieties over fields to arithmetic schemes over integral domains by demanding the set of near-integral points (as defined by Vojta) to be non-thin. We then generalize results of Bary-Soroker-Fehm-Petersen and Corvaja-Zannier by proving several structure results related to products and finite '{e}tale covers of arithmetic schemes with the Hilbert property.

Hildebrand proved that the smooth approximation for the number $Psi(x,y)$ of $y$-friable integers not exceeding $x$ holds for $y>(log x)^{2+varepsilon}$ under the Riemann hypothesis and conjectured that it fails when $yleqslant (log x)^{2-varepsilon}$. This conjecture has been recently confirmed by Gorodetsky by an intricate argument. We propose a short, straight-forward proof.

We show that the cyclotomic conjecture on the characteristic polynomial of T-ramified S-split Iwasawa modules introduced in a previous paper and satisfied by abelian fields governs the Z${ell}$-rank of the submodule of fixed points for all finite disjoint sets S and T of places.Last, in the CM-case we prove that the weak and the strong versions of the cyclotomic conjecture both are equivalent to the conjunction of the classical conjectures of Leopoldt and Gross-Kuz'min.

We study the distribution of zeros of zeta functions associated to Beurling generalized prime number systems whose integers are distributed as $N(x) = Ax + O(x^{theta})$. We obtain in particular [ N(alpha, T) ll T^{frac{c(1-alpha)}{1-theta}}log^{9} T, ] for a constant $c$ arbitrarily close to $4$, improving significantly the current state of the art. We also investigate the consequences of the obtained zero-density estimates on the PNT in short intervals. Our proofs crucially rely on an extension of the classical mean-value theorem for Dirichlet polynomials to generalized Dirichlet polynomials.

Following Schmidt, Thurnheer and Bugeaud-Kristensen, we study how Dirichlet's theorem on linear forms needs to be modified when one requires that the vectors of coefficients of the linear forms make a bounded acute angle with respect to a fixed proper non-zero subspace $V$ of $mathbb{R}^n$. Assuming that the point of $mathbb{R}^n$ that we are approximating has linearly independent coordinates over $mathbb{Q}$, we obtain best possible exponents of approximation which surprisingly depend only on the dimension of $V$. Our estimates are derived by reduction to a result of Thurnheer, while their optimality follows from a new general construction in parametric geometry of numbers involving angular constraints.

We give all possible holomorphic Eisenstein series on $Gamma_0(p)$, of rational weights greater than $2$, and with multiplier systems the same as certain rational-weight eta-quotients at all cusps. We prove they are modular forms and give their Fourier expansions. We establish four sorts of identities that equate such series to rational-weight eta-quotients. As an application, we give series expressions of special values of Euler Gamma function at any rational arguments. These expressions involve exponential sums of Dedekind sums.

The volume of the unit sphere in every dimension is given a new interpretation as a product of special values of the zeta function of $mathbb{Z}$, akin to volume formulas of Minkowski and Siegel in the theory of arithmetic groups. A product formula is found for this zeta function that specializes to Catalan numbers. Moreover, certain closed-form expressions for various other zeta values are deduced, in particular leading to an alternative perspective on Euler's values of the Riemann zeta function.
