Let $\mu$ be the M\"obius function and $e(t)=e^{2\pi it}$. We prove that if $N\ge2$, $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$, $(a,q)=1$, and $|\alpha-a/q|\le q^{-2}$, then \[\bigg|\sum_{n\le N}\mu^2(n)e(\alpha n)\bigg|\ll\left(\frac Nq+q\right)(\log 2N)^5, \] with an absolute implied constant, and we deduce the corresponding estimate on the minor arcs of the Hardy--Littlewood dissection throughout the range $Q\le N^{1/2}$. The estimates of Schlage-Puchta [SP] and of Tolev [T] have the same dependence on $q$ and $Q$ but carry a factor $N^{\varepsilon}$. The proof uses Heath-Brown's square sieve with sieving primes confined to an interval $(P,2P]$, where $P$ may be as small as a multiple of $\log N$; a finite Fej\'er majorant in place of a truncated Fourier series; and, after completion of the character sums, a count of representations that exploits the restriction on the primes in place of the divisor function.
Let $f$ be multiplicative, with $|f(p)|\le A$ at primes and $\sum_{n\le x}|f(n)|^2\le A^2x$ for every $x\ge1$. If $|\alpha-a/q|\le q^{-2}$, $(a,q)=1$, and $3\le R\le q\le N/R$, we prove \[ \sum_{n\le N}f(n)\operatorname{e}(n\alpha) \ll_A \frac{N}{\log N} +\frac{N}{\sqrt R}\sqrt{\log\log(3R)} \] with effective implied c...
Let $\alpha=a/q+\epsilon$ with $(a,q)=1$, $q\le N^{1/2}$ and $|\epsilon|\le 1/(qN^{1/2})$, and let $B:=\max(q,qN|\epsilon|)$. We show that \[ \Bigl|\sum_{n<N}\Lambda(n)e(n\alpha)\Bigr|\le N^{o(1)}\Bigl(\frac{N}{B^{1/2}}+N^{19/24}\Bigr). \] This improves on the classical bound of Vinogradov from 1937, which has $N^{4/5}...

Denote by $\omega(n)$ the number of distinct prime divisors of the natural number $n$. In 2007, Granville and Soundararajan gave a quite new method to compute the higher moments $\sum_{n\leq x}(\omega(n)-\log\log x)^{k}$, for a wide range of integers $k\geq 2$. In this notes, we shall apply the method for $\omega_{z}(n...

Let $m\geq 1$ be a fixed integer, $a$ an integer satisfying $(a,m)=1$, and $z\geq 1$ a real parameter. Denote by $\omega_{z}(n;m,a)$ the number of distinct prime divisors $p$ of $n$ satisfying $p\equiv a\, (m)$ and $p\leq z$. We study an asymptotic behaviour of $\sum_{n\leq x}\left(\omega_{z}(n;m,a)-\frac{1}{\varphi(m)...

For real $t$ and $x\ge 1$, set \[ S(x,t)=\sum_{n\le x} n^{\ii t}. \] We prove an unconditional inverse theorem relating large values of $S(x,t)$, with $|t|$ large, to zeros of the Riemann zeta function near height $t$. More precisely, if $T\le |t|\le 2T$, $\exp(\sqrt{\log T})\le x\le \sqrt T$, and $|S(x,t)|=x/N$ with $...

Let $n\geq 2$ and let $q$ be an odd prime power. The first aim of this paper is to prove that, for every $E\subset \mathbb{H}_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$ and every $\lambda>0$, the following sharp rich-direction estimate holds \[ \left| \left\{ \vartheta\in D_n: M^{\mathrm{rd}}_{\mathbb{H}_n}\mathbf{1}_E(\vartheta)\geq\lambda \ri...
