Explicit Exponential Sum Estimates and Approximate Functional Equations for the Zeta Function

We show an explicit version of the Van der Corput truncated Poisson summation formula (B-process). By using refined explicit exponential sum estimates, this improves the error term of previous explicit results by Patel and Yang (2024) and Arias de Reyna (2024). As an application, we obtain fine explicit estimates for the error terms in approximate functional equations for the Riemann zeta function, improving on previous explicit results of Simonič (2020) in certain ranges.

Fourier optimization and consequences of the generalized Riemann hypothesis

We give an exposition of some connections between Fourier optimization problems and problems in number theory. In particular, we present some recent conditional bounds under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, achieved via a Fourier optimization framework, on bounding the maximum possible gap between consecutive prime numbers represented by a given quadratic form; and on bounding the least quadratic non-residue modulo a prime number. This is based on joint works with Emanuel Carneiro, Andrés Chirre, Micah Milinovich, and Antonio Pedro Ramos.

An extremal problem and inequalities for entire functions of exponential type

We study two variations of the classical one-delta problem for entire functions of exponential type, known also as the Carathéodory--Fejér--Turán problem. The first variation imposes the additional requirement that the function is radially decreasing while the second one is a generalization which involves derivatives of the entire function. Various interesting inequalities, inspired by results due to Duffin and Schaeffer, Landau, and Hardy and Littlewood, are also established.

On the number variance of zeta zeros and a conjecture of Berry

Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we prove estimates for the variance of the real and imaginary part of the logarithm of the Riemann zeta-function in short intervals. We give three different formulations of these results. Assuming a conjecture of Chan for how often gaps between zeros can be close to a fixed nonzero value, we prove a conjecture of Berry (1988) for the number variance of zeta zeros in the non-universal regime. In this range, GUE statistics do not describe the distribution of the zeros. We also calculate lower-order terms in the second moment of the logarithm of the modulus of the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line. Assuming Montgomery's pair correlation conjecture, this establishes a special case of a conjecture of Keating and Snaith (2000).

Generalized sign Fourier uncertainty

We consider a generalized version of the sign uncertainty principle for the Fourier transform, first proposed by Bourgain, Clozel and Kahane in 2010 and revisited by Cohn and Gonçalves in 2019. In our setup, the signs of a function and its Fourier transform resonate with a generic given function $P$ outside of a ball. One essentially wants to know if and how soon this resonance can happen, when facing a suitable competing weighted integral condition. The original version of the problem corresponds to the case $P \equiv 1$. Surprisingly, even in such a rough setup, we are able to identify sharp constants in some cases.

On the $q$-analogue of the pair correlation conjecture via Fourier optimization

We study the $q$-analogue of the average of Montgomery's function $F(α, T)$ over bounded intervals. Assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis for Dirichlet $L$-functions, we obtain upper and lower bounds for this average over an interval that are quite close to the pointwise conjectured value of 1. To compute our bounds, we extend a Fourier analysis approach by Carneiro, Chandee, Chirre, and Milinovich, and apply computational methods of non-smooth programming.

The second moment of $S_n(t)$ on the Riemann hypothesis

Let $S(t) = \tfrac{1}π \arg ζ\big({1/2} + it \big)$ be the argument of the Riemann zeta-function at the point $\tfrac12 + it$. For $n \geq 1$ and $t>0$ define its antiderivatives as \begin{equation*} S_n(t) = \int_0^t S_{n-1}(τ) \hspace{0.08cm} \rm dτ+ δ_n, \end{equation*} where $δ_n$ is a specific constant depending on $n$ and $S_0(t) := S(t)$. In 1925, J. E. Littlewood proved, under the Riemann Hypothesis, that $$ \int_{0}^{T}|S_n(t)|^2 \hspace{0.06cm} \rm dt = O(T), $$ for $n\geq 1$. In 1946, Selberg unconditionally established the explicit asymptotic formulas for the second moments of $S(t)$ and $S_1(t)$. This was extended by Fujii for $S_n(t)$, when $n\geq 2$. Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we give the explicit asymptotic formula for the second moment of $S_n(t)$ up to the second-order term, for $n\geq 1$. Our result conditionally refines Selberg's and Fujii's formulas and extends previous work by Goldston in 1987, where the case $n=0$ was considered.

Fourier optimization and quadratic forms

We prove several results about integers represented by positive definite quadratic forms, using a Fourier analysis approach. In particular, for an integer $\ell\geq 1$, we improve the error term in the partial sums of the number of representations of integers that are a multiple of $\ell$. This allows us to obtain unconditional Brun-Titchmarsh-type results in short intervals, and a conditional Cramér-type result on the maximum gap between primes represented by a given positive definite quadratic form.
