We obtain an asymptotic formula for the cube-full numbers in an arithmetic progression n ≡ l mod   q , where q , l = 1 . By extending the construction derived from Dirichlet’s hyperbola method and relying on Kloosterman-type exponential sum method, we improve the very recent error term with x 118 / 4029 < q .

In following a suggestion of S. Chowla to apply a method of C. Hooley [3] to obtain an asymptotic formula for the sum ∑ r(n)r(n+a), where r(n) denotes the number of representations of n≤xn as the sum of two squares and is positive integer, we have had to obtain non-trivial estimates for the error term in the asymptotic expansion of1

Abstract Let $\varepsilon> 0$ be sufficiently small and let $0 < \eta < 1/522$ . We show that if X is large enough in terms of $\varepsilon $ , then for any squarefree integer $q \leq X^{196/261-\varepsilon }$ that is $X^{\eta }$ -smooth one can obtain an asymptotic formula with power-saving error term for the number of squarefree integers in an arithmetic progression $a \pmod {q}$ , with $(a,q) = 1$ . In the case of squarefree, smooth moduli this improves upon previous work of Nunes, in which $196/261 = 0.75096\ldots $ was replaced by $25/36 = 0.69\overline {4}$ . This also establishes a level of distribution for a positive density set of moduli that improves upon a result of Hooley. We show more generally that one can break the $X^{3/4}$ -barrier for a density 1 set of $X^{\eta }$ -smooth moduli q (without the squarefree condition). Our proof appeals to the q-analogue of the van der Corput method of exponential sums, due to Heath-Brown, to reduce the task to estimating correlations of certain Kloosterman-type complete exponential sums modulo prime powers. In the prime case we obtain a power-saving bound via a cohomological treatment of these complete sums, while in the higher prime power case we establish savings of this kind using p-adic methods.

I. Throughout this paper k1, …, k3 will denote s ≥ I fixed distinct positive integers. Some years ago Pillai (1936) found an asymptotic formula, with error term O(x/log x), for the number of positive integers n ≤ x such that n + k1, …, n + k3 are all square-free. I recently considered (Mirsky, 1947) the corresponding problem for r-free integers (i.e. integers not divisible by the rth power of any prime), and was able, in particular, to reduce the error term in Pillai's formula.Our present object is to discuss various generalizations and extensions of Pillai's problem. In all investigations below we shall be concerned with a set A of integers. This is any given, finite or infinite, set of integers greater than 1 and subject to certain additional restrictions which will be stated later. The elements of A will be called a-numbers, and the letter a will be reserved for them. A number which is not divisible by any a-number will be called A-free, and our main concern will be with the study of A-free numbers. Their additive properties have recently been investigated elsewhere (Mirsky, 1948), and some estimates obtained in that investigation will be quoted in the present paper.

We attempt to discuss a new circle problem. Let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D701}(s)$ denote the Riemann zeta-function $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }n^{-s}$ ($\text{Re}\,s>1$) and $L(s,\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}_{4})$ the Dirichlet $L$-function $\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}_{4}(n)n^{-s}$ ($\text{Re}\,s>1$) with the primitive Dirichlet character mod 4. We shall define an arithmetical function $R_{(1,1)}(n)$ by the coefficient of the Dirichlet series $\unicode[STIX]{x1D701}^{\prime }(s)L^{\prime }(s,\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}_{4})=\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }R_{(1,1)}(n)n^{-s}$$(\text{Re}\,s>1)$. This is an analogue of $r(n)/4=\sum _{d|n}\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}_{4}(d)$. In the circle problem, there are many researches of estimations and related topics on the error term in the asymptotic formula for $\sum _{n\leq x}r(n)$. As a new problem, we deduce a ‘truncated Voronoï formula’ for the error term in the asymptotic formula for $\sum _{n\leq x}R_{(1,1)}(n)$. As a direct application, we show the mean square for the error term in our new problem.

AbstractIn this article we consider sums S(t) = Σnψ (tf(n/t)), where ψ denotes, essentially, the fractional part minus ½ f is a C4-function with f″ non-vanishing, and summation is extended over an interval of order t. For the mean-square of S(t), an asymptotic formula is established. If f is algebraic this can be sharpened by the indication of an error term.

Abstract Let $a_1$ , $a_2$ , and $a_3$ be distinct reduced residues modulo q satisfying the congruences $a_1^2 \equiv a_2^2 \equiv a_3^2 \ (\mathrm{mod}\ q)$ . We conditionally derive an asymptotic formula, with an error term that has a power savings in q, for the logarithmic density of the set of real numbers x for which $\pi (x;q,a_1)> \pi (x;q,a_2) > \pi (x;q,a_3)$ . The relationship among the $a_i$ allows us to normalize the error terms for the $\pi (x;q,a_i)$ in an atypical way that creates mutual independence among their distributions, and also allows for a proof technique that uses only elementary tools from probability.

Let dk(n) be the number of the factorizations of n into k positive numbers. It is known that the following asymptotic formula holds: where r and q are co-prime integers with 0 < r < q, Pk is a polynomial of degree k − 1, φ(q) is the Euler function, and Δk(q; r) is the error term. (See Lavrik [3]).

Abstract We develop a new method for studying sums of Kloosterman sums related to the spectral exponential sum. As a corollary, we obtain a new proof of the estimate of Soundararajan and Young for the error term in the prime geodesic theorem.

Several estimates for the convolution functionC [f(x)]:=∫1xf(y) f(x/y)(dy/y)and its iterates are obtained whenf(x)is a suitable number-theoretic error term. We deal with the case of the asymptotic formula for∫0T|ζ(1/2+it)|2kdt(k=1,2), the general Dirichlet divisor problem, the problem of nonisomorphic Abelian groups of given order, and the Rankin-Selberg convolution.

Let [Formula: see text] be the von Mangoldt function, let [Formula: see text] be an integer and let [Formula: see text] be the counting function for the Goldbach numbers with summands in arithmetic progression modulo a common integer [Formula: see text]. We prove an asymptotic formula for the weighted average, with Cesàro weight of order [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text], of this function. Our result is uniform in a suitable range for [Formula: see text].
