Sieve functions in almost all short intervals
speaker: Giovanni Coppola (Università di Salerno)abstract:
An arithmetic function \(f\) is called a sieve function of range \(Q\), if it is the
convolution product of the constantly \(1\) function and \(g\) such that \(g(q)\ll_{\varepsilon} q^{\varepsilon}\), \(\forall \varepsilon> 0\), for
\(q\le Q\), and \(g(q)=0\) for \(q>Q\), i.e.
\[
f(n):=\sum_{q
n,q\le Q}g(q).
\]
For example, the GPY truncated divisor sum \(\Lambda_R\) involves sieve functions of range \(R\). In a joint work with Maurizio Laporta (1, 2), we have started the study of the distribution
of \(f\) in short intervals by analyzing its so-called weighted Selberg integral
\[
J_{w,f}(N,H):=\sum_{N
^2
\]
where w is a complex valued weight, that is bounded and supported in \([−H,H]\) with \(H=o(N)\), as \(N\to \infty\), while \(M_f(x,w):=\sum_a w(a)\sum_{q\le Q}g(q)/q\) is the expected (short intervals) mean value of the weighted \(f\) (see 1 for more general considerations when \(f\) has its Dirichlet series in the Selberg Class). We’ll give a short panorama of our methods to estimate \(J_{w,f}(N,H)\), including the recent applications of our results on the distribution of f over short arithmetic bands 3
\[
\cup_{1\le a\le H}\{n\in(N,2N]:n\equiv a(\bmod m)\}
