DESCRIPTION:Title: Squarefree Integers in Arithmetic Progressions to Smooth/Friable Mod
uli\nby Alexander Mangerel (CRM\, Montreal) as part of ViBraNT (Virtua
l Brazilian Number Theory seminar)\n\n\nAbstract\nI will discuss how to ob
tain an asymptotic formula (with power-savings error term) for the count o
f squarefree integers in an arithmetic progression when the modulus does n
ot have any large prime factors\, using a blend of cohomological technique
s and p-adic methods. For this collection of moduli our results go beyond
the best existing admissible range obtained recently by Nunes.\n\nThis is
joint work with C. Perret-Gentil.\n

nAbstract\nI shall talk about a recent result of a joint work with Winston
Heap and Junxian Li. We proved lower bounds for the discrete negative 2kt
h moments of the derivative of the Riemann zeta function\, which agrees wi
th a conjecture of Gonek and Hejhal. We also proved a general formula for
the discrete twisted 2nd moment of the Riemann zeta function. This agrees
with a conjecture of Conrey and Snaith.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Multiplicative chaos in number theory\nby Adam Harper (Warwick)
as part of ViBraNT (Virtual Brazilian Number Theory seminar)\n\n\nAbstract
\nMultiplicative chaos is the general name for a family of probabilistic o
bjects\, which can be thought of as the random measures obtained by taking
the exponential of correlated Gaussian random variables. Multiplicative c
haos turns out to be closely connected with various problems in analytic n
umber theory\, including the value distribution of the Riemann zeta functi
on on the critical line\, the moments of character sums\, and various mode
l versions of these problems. I will try to give a gentle introduction to
these issues and connections\, presenting both results and open problems w
ithout assuming too much background knowledge. (This will be a lightly upd

DESCRIPTION:Title: Low pseudomoments of the Riemann zeta function and its powers\n
by Maxim Gerspach (ETH\, Zürich) as part of ViBraNT (Virtual Brazilian Nu
mber Theory seminar)\n\n\nAbstract\nThe pseudomoments of the Riemann zeta
function are the moments of the partial sums associated to zeta on the cri
tical line. Using probabilistic methods of Harper\, we provide bounds whic
h imply the order of magnitude of all pseudomoments. We also provide upper
and lower bounds for the pseudomoments of the powers of zeta that are alm
ost-matching when combined with previous bounds of Bondarenko\, Heap and S
eip\, and turn out to behave in a somewhat different manner. In this talk\
, I will mostly try to give a heuristic argument in support of the results
by relating these quantities to moments of random multiplicative function
s and to random Euler products.\n

as a sum of two squares with the even square larger than the odd square th

DESCRIPTION:Title: How concentrated can the divisors of a typical integer be?\nby
Dimitris Koukoulopoulos (Université de Montréal) as part of ViBraNT (Vir
tual Brazilian Number Theory seminar)\n\n\nAbstract\nThe Delta function me
asures the concentration of the sequence of divisors of an integer. Specif
ically\, given an integer $n$\, we write $\\Delta(n)$ for the maximum over
$y$ of the number of divisors of $n$ lying in the dyadic interval $[y\,2y
]$. It was introduced by Hooley in 1979 because of its connections to vari
ous problems in Diophantine equations and approximation. In 1981\, Maier a
nd Tenenbaum proved that $\\Delta(n)>1$ for almost all integers $n$\, thus
settling a 1948 conjecture due to Erdös. In subsequent work\, they prove
d that $(\\log\\log n)^{c+o(1)}\\le \\Delta(n)\\le (\\log\\log n)^{\\log2+
o(1)}$\, where $c=(\\log2)/\\log(\\frac{1-1/\\log 27}{1-\\log3})\\approx 0
.33827$ for almost all integers $n$. In addition\, they conjectured that $
\\Delta(n)=(\\log\\log n)^{c+o(1)}$ for almost all $n$. In this talk\, I w
ill present joint work with Ben Green and Kevin Ford that disproves the Ma
ier-Tenenbaum conjecture by replacing the constant $c$ in the lower bound
by another constant $c'=0.35332277\\dots$ that we believe is optimal. We a
lso prove analogous results about permutations and polynomials over finite
fields by reducing all three cases to an archetypal probabilistic model.\

DESCRIPTION:Title: Additive structure in dense sets of integers\nby Thomas Bloom (
Cambridge) as part of ViBraNT (Virtual Brazilian Number Theory seminar)\n\
n\nAbstract\nHow much additive structure can we guarantee in sets of integ
ers\, knowing only their density? The study of which density thresholds ar
e sufficient to guarantee the existence of various kinds of additive struc
tures is an old and fascinating subject with connections to analytic numbe
r theory\, additive combinatorics\, and harmonic analysis.\n\nIn this talk
we will discuss recent progress on perhaps the most well-known of these t
hresholds: how large do we need a set of integers to be to guarantee the e
xistence of a three-term arithmetic progression? In recent joint work with
Olof Sisask we broke through the logarithmic density barrier for this pro
blem\, establishing in particular that if a set is dense enough such that
the sum of reciprocals diverges\, then it must contain a three-term arithm
etic progression\, establishing the first case of an infamous conjecture o
f Erdos.\n\nWe will give an introduction to this problem and sketch some o
f the recent ideas that have made this progress possible. We will also dis
cuss a recent application to the density threshold of a set containing no
square differences.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: An asymptotic version of the prime power conjecture for perfect dif
ference sets\nby Sarah Peluse (Oxford) as part of ViBraNT (Virtual Bra
zilian Number Theory seminar)\n\n\nAbstract\nA subset D of a finite cyclic
group Z/mZ is called a "perfect difference set" if every nonzero element
of Z/mZ can be written uniquely as the difference of two elements of D. If
such a set exists\, then a simple counting argument shows that m=n^2+n+1
for some nonnegative integer n. Singer constructed examples of perfect dif
ference sets in Z/(n^2+n+1)Z whenever n is a prime power\, and it is an ol
d conjecture that these are the only such n for which a perfect difference
set exists. In this talk\, I will discuss a proof of an asymptotic versio
n of this conjecture: the number of n less than N for which Z/(n^2+n+1)Z c
ontains a perfect difference set is ~N/log(N).\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Pair correlation of sequences: metric results and a modified additi

Number Theory seminar)\n\n\nAbstract\nThe uniform distribution of a seque
nce $\\{x_n\\}_{n\\geq 1}$ measures the pseudo-random behavior at a global
scale. At a more localized\nscale\, we can study the pair correlation for
sequences in the unit interval. Pseudo-random behavior with respect to th
is statistic is called Poissonian behavior. The metric theory of pair corr
elations of sequences of the form $(a_n\\alpha)_{n \\geq 1}$ has been pio
neered by Rudnick\, Sarnak and Zaharescu. Recently\, a general framework w
as developed which gives a criterion for Poissonian pair correlation of su
ch sequences for almost $\\alpha \\in (0\,1)$\, in terms of the additive e
nergy of the integer sequence $\\{a_n\\}_{n \\geq 1}$. In the present talk
we will discuss a similar framework in the more delicate case where $\\{a
_n\\}_{n \\geq 1}$ is a sequence of reals. We give a criterion involving a
modified version of the additive energy expressed via a diophantine inequ
ality. We give several concrete applications of our method and present som
e open problems. This is joint work with Christoph Aistleitner and Daniel

m and Zygmund investigates the distribution of trigonometric polynomials w
hose coefficients are chosen randomly (say +1 or -1 with equal probability
) and independently. Salem and Zygmund characterized the typical distribut
ion of such polynomials (gaussian) and the typical magnitude of their sup-
norms (a degree N polynomial typically has sup-norm of size $\\sqrt{N \\lo
g N}$ for large N). In this talk we will explore what happens when a weak
dependence is introduced between coefficients of the polynomials\; namely
we consider polynomials with coefficients given by random multiplicative f
unctions. We consider analogues of Salem and Zygmund's results\, exploring
similarities and some differences.\n\nSpecial attention will be given to
a beautiful point-counting argument introduced by Vaughan and Wooley which
ends up being useful.\n\nThis is joint work with Jacques Benatar and Alon

DESCRIPTION:Title: A Random Matrix Model for Gram's Law\nby Chris Hughes (Universi
ty of York) as part of ViBraNT (Virtual Brazilian Number Theory seminar)\n
\n\nAbstract\nIt is well known that the counting function for the Riemann\
nzeta zeros\, N(T)\, has a smooth main term and a much smaller\ndiscontinu
ous correction term\, S(T). Gram's Law is the observation\nthat between co
nsecutive points where the smooth part of the counting\nfunction is an int
eger\, there typically is exactly one zeta zero. This\n"Law" doesn't hold
all the time\, and we will use random matrix theory\nto model the proporti
on of time the law holds for. The flavour of\nrandom matrix theory that no
rmally models the Riemann zeros is the\nunitary group. However\, studying
Gram's Law requires the special\nunitary group\, where many of the useful
techniques for random unitary\nmatrices fail to hold. Much of this work wa
s done jointly with my\nformer PhD student Catalin Hanga.\n

\, I will present a recent joint work with Yoonbok Lee\, where we investig
ate the number of zeros of linear combinations of $L$-functions in the vic

e distinct primitive $L$-functions belonging to a large class (which conje
cturally contains all $L$-functions arising from automorphic representatio
ns on $\\text{GL}(n)$)\, and $b_1\, \\dots\, b_J$ be real numbers. Our mai

)=\\sum_{j\\leq J} b_j L_j(\\sigma+it)$ in the region $\\sigma\\geq 1/2+1/
G(T)$ and $t\\in [T\, 2T]$\, uniformly in the range $\\log \\log T \\leq G

the support outside the trivial range $(-1\, 1)$ for a family of cubic $L$
-functions. This implies that a positive proportion of the $L$-functions a
ssociated with these characters do not vanish at the central point $s = 1/

. It is an old and classical problem to understand\nthe distribution of qu
adratic residues and non-residues modulo $q$. According\nto an old and fam
ous conjecture of I.M. Vinogradov\, the least quadratic\nnon-residue n mod
ulo q should satisfy $n \\leq q^c$ for any positive $c > $0\, when\n$q$ is
large enough. This statement would be implied by non-trivial upper\nbound
s for averages of the Legendre symbol $\\left( \\frac{n}{q}\\right)$ with
$n \\leq q^c.$ Currently\nthe best such results\, due essentially to Burge
ss\, are satisfactory only\nwhen $c > 1/4$\, due to the potential obstruct
ion\, difficult to rule out\, that\n$\\left( \\frac{n}{q}\\right) = +1$ fo
r many initial integers n.\n\nIn this talk I will discuss a generalisation
of Vinogradov's conjecture to\nother primitive Dirichlet characters \\chi
modulo q\, seeking the least n for\nwhich $\\chi(n)$ is not $1$. I will e
xplain some recent work of mine that shows\,\nusing techniques from additi
ve combinatorics\, that when the order d of $\\chi$\ngrows with q the afor
ementioned obstruction does not occur\, that the\nanalogue of Vinogradov's
conjecture for $\\chi$ does hold\, and that moreover\n$\\chi(n) = 1$ with
$n \\leq q^c$ is in fact a rare event for all $c > 0$. I will\nalso discu
