Let $f$ be an extended Rademacher random multiplicative function (RMF). We show that, for every fixed deterministic function $V(x)$ tending to infinity, almost surely there are arbitrarily large $x$ for which \[ \sum_{n\leq x}f(n) \geq \frac{\sqrt{x}(\log\log x)^{1/4}}{V(x)}. \] The corresponding negative fluctuation holds as well. In particular, this gives an affirmative answer to Erd\H{o}s Problem~\#1144. As a byproduct, our result has a direct corollary giving new almost sure lower bounds $\log\log x$ on the number of sign changes of partial sums up to $x$ for all sufficiently large $x$.
Let $f$ be a Steinhaus or Rademacher random multiplicative function. We use methods from the theory of critical chaos to improve on the best known upper bound for partial sums of random multiplicative functions. In particular, our results imply that for any $\varepsilon>0$, almost surely $$ \Big|\sum_{n\le x}f(n)\Big|...
We study the asymptotics as $n$ goes to infinity of $\mathbb E\left[\mathcal{N}(S_n,[0,2\pi])\right]$, the expected number of zeros in $[0, 2\pi]$ of a random periodic signal $S_n$ of the form \[ S_n(t)=\sum_{k=1}^{n}a_k f(kt), \] where $f$ is a non-analytic $2\pi-$periodic function and the coefficients $(a_k)$ are i.i...
We introduce new techniques for determining combinatorial properties of sets of multiple recurrence by considering weighted averages with quickly growing weights. Our main result is a far-reaching generalization of Szemer\'edi's Theorem which additionally confirms a conjecture of Bergelson-Moreira-Richter and contains...
We study large values of quadratic Hecke $L$-functions in the conductor aspect. Let $K$ be a fixed number field, and assume GRH for its finite-order Hecke $L$-functions. In a fixed ray class component with conductor norm comparable to $X$, we prove that \[ \max_\chi L\left(\frac12+\frac A{\log_2X},\chi\right) \geq\exp\...
We study the maximal multiplicative persistence of $k$-cycles in random \v{C}ech complexes. Let $f:\mathbb{R}^d\to\mathbb{R}$ be a probability density function, let ${P}_n$ be a Poisson process with intensity $nf$, and let $\Pi_{k,n}$ denote the largest death-to-birth ratio among all non-essential $k$-cycles ($1\le k \...
Following Erd\H{o}s (1982) and Sanna (2019), we study the arithmetic function $h(n)$, which is defined to be the number of distinct exponents in the prime factorization of a positive integer $n$. Among other things, we show that $$ \sum_{n\leq x}h(\phi(n)) \asymp x\left(\frac{\log\log x}{\log\log\log x}\right)^{1/2}, $...
