Abstract: We discuss some consequences of the existence of a Siegel zero for various questions relating to the distribution of the prime numbers, and in particular to conjectures of Hardy-Littlewood and Chowla type.  This is joint work with Joni...

Abstract: Low-lying horocycles are known to equidistribute on the modular curve. Here we consider the joint distribution of two low-lying horocycles of different speeds in the product of two modular curves and show equidistribution under certain...

Abstract: Behaviors of objects of algebraic interest, such as polynomials, elliptic curves and number fields -- many of which are still unknown -- fall into the field of arithmetic statistics..  By bringing in Fourier analysis to interplay with a...

Abstract: We construct examples showing that the correlation in the Mobius disjointness conjecture can go to zero arbitrarily slowly. In fact, our methods yield a more general result, where in lieu of μ(n) one can put any bounded sequence such that...

Abstract: In unpublished lecture notes, William A. Veech considered the following potential property of the Möbius function:
"In any Furstenberg system of the Möbius function, the zero-coordinate is orthogonal to any function measurable with respect...

Abstract: A central question in additive combinatorics is to determine what class of structured functions is enough to determine multilinear averages such as

$\mathbb{E}_{x,a} f_1(x) f_2(x+a) f_3(x+2a) f_4(x+3a)$.

In ergodic theory the analogous...

Abstract: Given $B \subset N$, we consider the corresponding set $FB$ of $B$-free integers, i.e. $n \inFB i_ no b \in B$ divides $n$. We $de_{ne} X \eta_}$ the B-free subshift _ as the smallest subshift containing $\eta := 1FB \in {0, 1}Z$. Such...

Abstract: For a topological dynamical systems (T, X) and a fixed $x \in X$ we are interested in the distribution of prime and semi-prime orbits, i.e. ${T px}p='$ and ${T p1p2 x}p1,p2='$. We are interested in systems for which the related sequences...

Abstract: Given a fractal set E in $R^n$ and a set F in $Gr(k,n)$, can we find k-plane S in F such that the orthogonal projection of E onto S is large? 

We will survey some classical and recent projection theorems and discuss their applications. ...

ABSTRACT: In the 1970’s Erdos asked several questions about what kind of infinite structures can be found in every set of natural numbers with positive density. In recent joint work with Kra, Richter and Robertson we proved that every such set A can...

Abstract: In this talk we present a natural generalization of a sumset conjecture of Erdos to higher orders, asserting that every subset of the integers with positive density contains a sumset $B_1+\ldots +B_k$ where $B_1, \ldots , B_k$ are infinite...

Abstract: Abstract: We will discuss multilinear variants of Weyl's inequality for the exponential sums arising in pointwise convergence problems related to the Furstenberg-Bergelson-Leibman conjecture. We will also illustrate how to use the...
