Abstract

Let $k\ge1$ be an integer and let $\lambda$ be the Liouville function. In 1965, Chowla gave a conjecture that the values of $\lambda(n+h_1),\dots, \lambda(n+h_k)$ are asymptotically unrelated for any distinct natural numbers $h_1, \dots, h_k$. In this article, motivated by the recent work of Bergelson and Richter on the dynamical generalizations of the prime number theorem, we will show a dynamical generalization of Chowla's conjecture on average. In the proof, we follow an approach of Qi and Zheng who established a variant of Bergelson and Richter's theorem over irreducible binary cubic forms. Moreover, we will use this approach to show an analogue of the dynamical Chowla's conjecture along the primes on average. In 2016, Tao proved that the two-point logarithmic Chowla's conjecture holds. Recently, Charamaras and Richter generalized Tao's theorem to bounded arithmetic functions and proposed a conjecture that generalizes Chowla's conjecture to bounded multi-variable arithmetic functions. In the end of this article, we will show an averaged form of this conjecture and a dynamical generalization of Tao's theorem.

Proofs of two conjectures on generalizations of Brouwer's Laplacian conjecture

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph of order $n$ and let $\lambda_1(G)\ge \cdots \ge \lambda_n(G)$ be the eigenvalues of its Laplacian matrix. Brouwer conjectured that for every $1\le k\le n$, $\sum_{i=1}^k\lambda_i(G)\le |E|+\binom{k+1}{2}$, which was recently confirmed by Kothari and Tudose. Before Brouwer's conjecture w...

Small Counterexamples to the Gaussian Moments Conjecture

We give explicit complex polynomials $P,Q$ in three independent standard real Gaussian variables such that \[ {\mathbb E}(P^m)=0,\qquad {\mathbb E}(QP^m)=m!\neq0 \] for every $m\geq1$. In natural complex linear coordinates, $P$ has five terms and total degree $4$. Hence the Gaussian Moments Conjecture is false in every...

Geometric Invariant Theory of Peterson Varieties

We study the GIT quotients of the Peterson variety $\mathrm{Pet}_n\subset \mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb C)/B$ under a one-parameter subgroup $\lambda:\mathbb G_m \to T$ with respect to the linearization $\mathcal L(\chi)$ given by a regular dominant character $\chi$ in the root lattice. Using the Richardson stratification, we...

Counterexamples to Schiffer's Conjecture

The Schiffer conjecture states that if a smooth domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ admits a Neumann eigenfunction of the Laplacian which is constant at the boundary, then the domain is a ball. It is intimately related to Pompeiu's problem, stating that if a nonzero function integrates zero over any rigid motion of $\...

On variants of P\'olya's conjecture

In this paper, we study a Riesz-type weighted sum of the Liouville function, $f(x):=-\sum_{n\le x}\frac{\lambda(n)\log n}{\sqrt n}\log\frac{x}{n}$ for sufficiently large $x$. Motivated by a recent research on the sign criteria for the Riemann Hypothesis arising from weighted prime-counting functions, we investigate the...

Murphy's law in non-abelian Hodge theory

We construct explicit examples of non-integral variations of $\mathbb{Q}$-Hodge structures. Our approach leverages Fenchel--Nielsen-type parameterizations, due to Kabaya and Maskit, of the Teichm\"uller component of relative character varieties. Additionally, we discuss various Diophantine results concerning the $\math...
