A decoupling interpretation of an old argument for Vinogradov's Mean Value Theorem (2023)
Journal Article
Cook, B., Hughes, K., Li, Z. K., Mudgal, A., Robert, O., & Yung, P. (2024). A decoupling interpretation of an old argument for Vinogradov's Mean Value Theorem. Mathematika, 70(1), Article e12231. https://doi.org/10.1112/mtk.12231

We interpret into decoupling language a refinement of a 1973 argument due to Karatsuba on Vinogradov's mean value theorem. The main goal of our argument is to answer what precisely solution counting in older partial progress on Vinogradov's mean valu...

Discrete restriction estimates for forms in many variables (2023)
Journal Article
Cook, B., Hughes, K., & Palsson, E. (2023). Discrete restriction estimates for forms in many variables. Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society, 66(4), 923–939. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0013091523000366

We prove discrete restriction estimates for a broad class of hypersurfaces arising in seminal work of Birch. To do so, we use a variant of Bourgain’s arithmetic version of the Tomas–Stein method and Magyar’s decomposition of the Fourier transform of...

We apply Christ’s method of refinements to the ℓ^p-improving problem for discrete averages AN along polynomial curves in Z^d. Combined with certain elementary estimates for the number of solutions to certain special systems of diophantine equations,...

On the inhomogeneous Vinogradov system (2022)
Journal Article

We show that the system of equations ∑_{i=1}^{s} (x_i^j−y_i^j) = a_j (1⩽j⩽k) has appreciably fewer solutions in the subcritical range s

On the ergodic Waring–Goldbach problem (2021)
Journal Article

We prove an asymptotic formula for the Fourier transform of the arithmetic surface measure associated to the Waring–Goldbach problem and provide several applications, including bounds for discrete spherical maximal functions along the primes and dist...

Discrete Restriction for (x,x3) and Related Topics (2021)
Journal Article

In this short note we prove an ℓ2 to L10 estimate for the extension (aka adjoint restriction) operator associated to the discrete curve (X,X3). This is interesting, in part, because Demeter has shown that the corresponding putative decoupling inequal... Read More about Discrete Restriction for (x,x3) and Related Topics.

Bounds for Lacunary maximal functions given by Birch–Magyar averages (2021)
Journal Article
Cook, B., & Hughes, K. (2021). Bounds for Lacunary maximal functions given by Birch–Magyar averages. Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 374(6), 3859-3879. https://doi.org/10.1090/tran/8152

We obtain positive and negative results concerning lacunary discrete maximal operators defined by dilations of sufficiently nonsingular hypersurfaces arising from Diophantine equations in many variables. Our negative results show that this problem di... Read More about Bounds for Lacunary maximal functions given by Birch–Magyar averages.

Lp-improving for discrete spherical averages (2020)
Journal Article
Hughes, K. (2020). Lp-improving for discrete spherical averages. Annales Henri Lebesgue, 3, 959-980. https://doi.org/10.5802/ahl.50

We initiate the theory of -improving inequalities for arithmetic averages over hypersurfaces and their maximal functions. In particular, we prove -improving estimates for the discrete spherical averages and some of their generalizations. As an applic... Read More about Lp-improving for discrete spherical averages.

Lp→Lq bounds for spherical maximal operators (2020)

Let f∈Lp(Rd), d≥3, and let Atf(x) be the average of f over the sphere with radius t centered at x. For a subset E of [1, 2] we prove close to sharp Lp→Lq estimates for the maximal function supt∈E|Atf|. A new feature is the dependence of the results o...
