We consider the large sieve inequality for sparse sequences of moduli and give a general result depending on the additive energy (both symmetric and asymmetric) of the sequence of moduli. For example, in the case of monomials $f(X) = X^k$ this allows us to improve, in some ranges of the parameters, the previous bounds of S. Baier and L. Zhao (2005), K.~Halupczok (2012, 2015, 2018) and M.~Munsch (2020). We also consider moduli defined by polynomials $f(X) \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$, Piatetski-Shapiro sequences and general convex sequences. We then apply our results to obtain a version of the Bombieri--Vinogradov theorem with Piatetski-Shapiro moduli improving the level of distribution of R.~C.~Baker (2014).

In this paper, we establish a general version of the large sieve with additive characters for restricted sets of moduli in arbitrary dimension for function fields. From this, we derive function field versions for the large sieve in high dimensions and for power moduli.

We prove large sieve inequalities with multivariate polynomial moduli and deduce a general Bombieri--Vinogradov type theorem for a class of polynomial moduli having a sufficient number of variables compared to its degree. This sharpens previous results of the first author in two aspects: the range of the moduli as well as the class of polynomials which can be handled. As a consequence, we deduce that there exist infinitely many primes $p$such that $p-1$ has a prime divisor of...

In this article, we extend our recent work on a Bombieri-Vinogradov-type theorem for sparse sets of prime powers $p^N\le x^{1/4-\varepsilon}$ with $p\le (\log x)^C$ to sparse sets of moduli $s\le x^{1/3-\varepsilon}$ with radical rad$(s)\le x^{9/40}$. To derive our result, we combine our previous method with a Bombieri-Vinogradov-type theorem for general moduli $s\le x^{9/40}$ obtained by Roger Baker.

We establish a general large sieve inequality with sparse sets $\mathcal{S}$ of moduli in the Gaussian integers which are in a sense well-distributed in arithmetic progressions. This extends earlier work of S. Baier on the large sieve with sparse sets of moduli. We then use this result to obtain large sieve bounds for the cases when $\mathcal{S}$ consists of squares of Gaussian integers and of Gaussian primes. Our bound for the case of square moduli improves a recent result b...

Extending a method of D. Wolke, we establish a general result on the large sieve with sparse sets S of moduli which are in a sense well-distributed in arithmetic progressions. We then use this result together with Fourier techniques to obtain large sieve bounds for the case when S consists of squares. These bounds improve a recent result by L. Zhao.

In this note we give a new bound for large sieve with characters to power moduli which improves in some range of the parameters the previous bounds of Baier/Zhao and Halupczok.

In this paper we aim to generalize the results in Baier and Zhao and develop a general formula for large sieve with characters to powerful moduli that will be an improvement to the result of Zhao.

We establish a large sieve inequality for power moduli in $\mathbb{Z}[i]$, extending earlier work by L. Zhao and the first-named author on the large sieve for power moduli for the classical case of moduli in $\mathbb{Z}$. Our method starts with a version of the large sieve for $\mathbb{R}^2$. We convert the resulting counting problem back into one for $\mathbb{Z}[i]$ which we then attack using Weyl differencing and Poisson summation.

We generalise and improve some recent bounds for additive energies of modular roots. Our arguments use a variety of techniques, including those from additive combinatorics, algebraic number theory and the geometry of numbers. We give applications of these results to new bounds on correlations between {\it Sali{\'e}} sums and to a new equidistribution estimate for the set of modular roots of primes.

Extending a method of D. Wolke, we establish a general result on the large sieve with sparse sets S of moduli which are in a sense well-distributed in arithmetic progressions. We then apply our result to the case when S consists of sqares. In this case we obtain an estimate which improves a recent result by L. Zhao.
