Let $p$ be a prime, $d\ge 2$, $H\in [1,p)$, and $\ln\ln p = o(\ln H)$. We prove that $$ \min_{1\le n \le H} n \left\|\frac{a_1 n}{p}\right\|\ldots \left\|\frac{a_d n}{p}\right\| \approx \frac{1}{(\ln p)^{d-1} \ln H} $$ for"almost all"$a \in ({\Bbb Z} / p{\Bbb Z})^d$.
In this paper, we consider the asymptotic density of $T_c(x):=\#\{p\leq x:P^+(p-1)\geq p^c\}$, where $P^+(n)$ denote the largest prime factor of $n$. We show that for $x\rightarrow\infty$, for any $0<c\leq 1/2$, one has \begin{align*} \mathop{\lim\inf}_{x\rightarrow\infty}\frac{T_c(x)}{\pi(x)}&\geq\max\left(1-\frac{16}...
For an integer $d\ge 3$, put $\Delta_d=\min{2^{d-1},d(d-1)}$. Let $a/q$ be reduced, let $P(X)=\frac{a}{q}X^d+\alpha_{d-1}X^{d-1}+\cdots+\alpha_0$, and let $\mathcal{I}$ be an interval of $H\le q$ consecutive integers. We prove $\left|\sum_{n\in\mathcal{I}}e(P(n))\right|\ll_{d,\varepsilon}q^{1/d}H^\varepsilon+H^{1-1/\De...
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...

Let $p(n)$ denote the least prime factor of $n$ and $L_C(x)=Cx^{1/2}(\log x)^2$ with $C>0$. The sum of $p(n)/n$ over composite $n$ lying in the short interval $[x,\,x+L_C(x)]$, a question raised by Erd\H{o}s and Graham, is studied. (i) The constant $c=8$ in the mean asymptotic is estimated \[ S(x)=\sum_{{n<x,\ n\ \text...
For a positive integer $t$, let $d_t$ denote the natural density of the set of $n$ for which $t$ is a sum of distinct divisors of $n$. Erd\H{o}s proved that $d_t$ exists, gave an unspecified polylogarithmic upper bound, asserted without proof a matching lower bound, and asked whether $d_t \sim c_3/(\log t)^{c_4}$. We r...
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}...
