With an appendix by Emmanuel Kowalski", "categories": [ "math.CA", "math.NT" ], "abstract": "In this survey, we explore how superorthogonality amongst functions in a sequence $f_1,f_2,f_3,\\ldots$ results in direct or converse inequalities for an associated square function. We distinguish between three main types of superorthogonality, which we demonstrate arise in a wide array of settings in harmonic analysis and number theory. This perspective gives clean proofs of central results, and unifies topics including Khintchine's inequality, Walsh-Paley series, discrete operators, decoupling, counting solutions to systems of Diophantine equations, multicorrelation of trace functions, and the Burgess bound for short character sums.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-07-20T16:39:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "superorthogonality", "short character sums", "associated square function", "main types", "demonstrate arise" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 61, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
