For a fixed irrational with a prescribed irrationality measure function, we study the correlation , where Δ is the Dirichlet error term in the divisor problem. When θ has a finite irrationality measure, it is known that decorrelation occurs at a rate expressible in terms of this measure. Strong decorrelation occurs for all positive irrationals, except possibly Liouville numbers. We show that for irrationals with a prescribed irrationality measure function ψ, decorrelation can be quantified in terms of .

Let R be a finite ring (with identity, not necessarily commutative) and define the paraboloid . Suppose that for a sequence of finite rings of size tending to infinity, the Fourier transform of P satisfies a square-root law of the form for all nontrivial additive characters ψ, with C some fixed constant (for instance, if R is a finite field, this bound will be satisfied with ). Then all but finitely many of the rings are fields.
Most of our argument works in greater generality: let f be a polynomial with integer coefficients in variables, with a fixed order of variable multiplications (so that it defines a function even when R is noncommutative), and set . If (for a sequence of finite rings of size tending to infinity) we have a square root law for the Fourier transform of , then all but finitely many of the rings are fields or matrix rings of small dimension. We also describe how our techniques can establish that certain varieties do not satisfy a square root law

We show that p-adic families of cohomology classes associated to symmetric spaces vary p-adically over small discs in weight space, without any ordinarity assumption. This generalises previous work of Loeffler, Zerbes and the author. Furthermore, we show that these families exhibit full variation in the cyclotomic direction, generalising previous constructions of Euler systems and p-adic L-functions. As an application we show that the Lemma–Flach Euler system of Loeffler–Skinner–Zerbes interpolates in Coleman families.

For , the zeros of the Hurwitz zeta function have interesting features. There are no zeros in the half plane , whereas there are infinitely many zeros in the strip , provided . The existence of these infinitely many zeros was first proved by Davenport and Heilbronn for rational and transcendental values of a and then by Cassels for algebraic irrational values of a. In this article, we consider the analogous question for the zeros of the cognate Lerch zeta function , where z is a complex number of unit modulus. When z is a root of unity, the question can be answered using a theorem of Zaghloul, which is an extension of a work of Chatterjee and Gun. In the general case, we need to further extend the method of Chatterjee and Gun.

The i-tuply y-densely divisible numbers were introduced by a Polymath project, as a weaker condition on the moduli than y-smoothness, in distribution estimates for primes in arithmetic progressions. We obtain the order of magnitude of the count of these integers up to x, uniformly in x and y, for every fixed natural number i.
