Erdős and Pomerance have shown that typically has about distinct prime factors. More precisely, has normal order . Since is the size of the multiplicative group , this result also gives the normal number of Sylow subgroups of . Recently, Pollack considered specifically noncyclic Sylow subgroups of , showing that the count of those has normal order . We prove that the count of noncyclic Sylow subgroups that are elementary abelian of a fixed rank has normal order . So for example, (typically) among the primes p for which the p-primary component of is noncyclic, this component is about half the time. Additionally, we show that the count of p for which the p-Sylow subgroup of is not elementary abelian has normal order .

This paper studies Boston's generalization of the unramified Fontaine-Mazur conjecture for Galois representations. The first main result establishes that the conjecture can be verified by restricting to the cases of p-adic Galois representations and -adic representations. The second main result is a finiteness theorem for the associated unramified Galois deformation rings under certain conditions.

Let E be an elliptic curve defined over . For an odd prime l, we consider the family of degree l cyclic extensions K over . When we view the elliptic curve E as a curve over K, the analytic rank of the L-function of E over K may increase compared to that of the L-function of E over .

We consider the density of primes of K such that the quotient has at most cyclic components and satisfies a Frobenius condition with respect to , where is the reduction of A modulo , is the residue field of and is the subgroup generated by the reductions . We develop a general framework to prove the existence of this density under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis.

Conditionally on the Riemann hypothesis for certain Dedekind zeta functions, we show that the characteristic polynomial of a class of random tridiagonal matrices of large dimension is irreducible, with probability exponentially close to one; moreover, its Galois group over the rational numbers is either the symmetric or the alternating group. This is the counterpart of the results of Breuillard–Varjú (for polynomials with independent coefficients), and with those of Eberhard and Ferber–Jain–Sah–Sawhney (for full random matrices). We also analyse a related class of random tridiagonal matrices for which the Galois group is much smaller.

We study the M-functions, which describe the limit theorem for the value-distributions of the secondary main terms in the asymptotic formulas for the summatory functions of the Goldbach counting function. One of the new aspects is a sufficient condition for the Riemann hypothesis provided by some formulas of the M-functions, which was a necessary condition in previous work. The other new aspect is the relation between the secondary main terms and the screw functions, which provides another necessary and sufficient condition for the Riemann hypothesis. We study such M-functions and screw functions in generalized settings by axiomatizing them.

Such congruences have their moduli coming from special values of Hecke L-functions and their Euler factors, and our results allow for the eigenforms to have non-trivial Hecke character.

This paper primarily is dedicated to studying the asymptotics and limiting distributions of several statistics in overpartitions. As a preliminary result, we use asymptotic methods to prove that the number of distinct parts and distinct integers in overpartitions is asymptotically normal, extending the results of Corteel and Hitczenko. Furthermore, we investigate the asymptotic and distributional properties of two types of crank statistics for overpartitions, originally introduced by Bringmann and Lovejoy. Utilizing the Hardy-Ramanujan circle method, we derive asymptotic formulas for the moments of these two cranks, as well as for the symmetrized moments proposed by Jennings-Shaffer. Building on these, we employ the probabilistic method of moments to prove that both two cranks asymptotically follow a logistic distribution when appropriately normalized. Consequently, our results recover the asymptotic formulas for the positive moments first obtained by Zapata Rolon using Wright's circle method.

Utilizing the Hardy-Ramanujan circle method, we derive asymptotic formulas for the moments of these two cranks, as well as for the symmetrized moments proposed by Jennings-Shaffer. Building on these, we employ the probabilistic method of moments to prove that both two cranks asymptotically follow a logistic distribution when appropriately normalized. Consequently, our results recover the asymptotic formulas for the positive moments first obtained by Zapata Rolon using Wright's circle method.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50110,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Number Theory","volume":"280 ","pages":"Pages 737-760"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145267058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
