“I had the privilege of witnessing Apoorva's extraordinary intellectual curiosity and her deep rooted empathy and compassion. Her artistic endeavors to raise money at 13, and donate to charity - was an example of her humanity to understand the world of those less fortunate and a determination to change it towards the better. Her exceptional critical thinking skills are matched by her willingness to assist her friends, mentees often explaining complex concepts with patience and clarity that belies her age. This unique combination of intellectual brilliance and kindness creates a huge positive impact on everyone she connects with. I highly recommend her for her creativity, selflessness and her extraordinary intellectual acumen.”

For many children, hunger is constant, chronic pain. Right now, children are living on the brink of famine. Millions of girls and boys need emergency food assistance to survive. Death is prominent in many areas, and a devastating 20% of Africa’s children do not reach the age of six. I am working with the Save the Children organization so that I could do more to help families who lack such basic human necessities as food, clean water, medicine, shelter, and safety.
Because I was so saddened by the harsh situation, I wanted to take action to defend human rights. I connected with Save the Children and created a charity dedicated to the Child Hunger and Famine Relief Fund. This fund aids children of Somalia, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya, by giving them sufficient food, water, and shelter. I am proud to be making a positive contribution, wanting nothing more than to make art for charity’s sake.
To launch my fundraiser, I created my own online art gallery (apoorvaartgallery.com), a platform for me to connect with people who would like to buy my art or make donations in support of my cause. As an avid artist, I am most inspired when I am painting and sketching in order to help improve the lives of others. I am honored and humbled when I can support the children, and I plan to continue making art so that I can help people all around the world. I am so happy to have raised over $10,000 selling my artworks. -

Explicit Calculations for Sono's Multidimensional Sieve of E2-Numbers
We derive explicit formulas for integrals of certain symmetric polynomials used in Keiju Sono's multidimensional sieve of E2-numbers, i.e., integers which are products of two distinct primes. We use these computations to produce the currently best-known bounds for gaps between multiple E2-numbers. For example, we show there are infinitely many occurrences of four E2-numbers within a gap size of 94 unconditionally and within a gap size of 32 assuming the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture for primes…

Tamagawa Products for Elliptic Curves Over Number Fields
In recent work, Griffin, Ono, and Tsai constructs an L−series to prove that the proportion of short Weierstrass elliptic curves over ℚ with trivial Tamagawa product is 0.5054… and that the average Tamagawa product is 1.8183…. Following their work, we generalize their L−series over arbitrary number fields K to be

Following their work, we generalize their L−series over arbitrary number fields K to be
LTam(K;s):=∑m=1∞PTam(K;m)ms,
where PTam(K;m) is the proportion of short Weierstrass elliptic curves over K with Tamagawa product m. We then construct Markov chains to compute the exact values of PTam(K;m) for all number fields K and positive integers m. As a corollary, we also compute the average Tamagawa product LTam(K;−1). We then use these results to uniformly bound PTam(K;1) and LTam(K,−1) in terms of the degree of K. Finally, we show that there exist sequences of K for which PTam(K;1) tends to 0 and LTam(K;−1) to ∞, as well as sequences of K for which PTam(K;1) and LTam(K;−1) tend to 1. -
Short-interval sector problems for CM elliptic curves
Let E/ℚ be an elliptic curve of conductor N that has complex multiplication by an imaginary quadratic field K. For a prime p∤N, define θp∈[0,π] to be the angle for which p+1−#E(𝔽p)=2p‾√cosθp, and let I⊆[0,π] be a subinterval. Let x>0 be large. We prove that if δ>0 and δ′>0 are fixed numbers such that
δ+δ′<5/24, |I|≥x−δ′, h≥x1−δ,
then
∑x<p≤x+hθp∈Ilogp∼(121π2∈I+|I|2π)h,
where 1π2∈I equals 1 if π/2∈I and 0 otherwise. We also discuss an extension of this result to the…Let E/ℚ be an elliptic curve of conductor N that has complex multiplication by an imaginary quadratic field K.

Small Gaps Between Three Almost Primes and Almost Prime Powers
A positive integer is called an Ej-number if it is the product of j distinct primes. We prove that there are infinitely many triples of E2-numbers within a gap size of 32 and infinitely many triples of E3-numbers within a gap size of 15. Assuming the Elliot-Halberstam conjecture for primes and E2-numbers, we can improve these gaps to 12 and 5, respectively. We can obtain even smaller gaps for almost primes, almost prime powers, or integers having the same exponent pattern in the their prime…
A positive integer is called an Ej-number if it is the product of j distinct primes. We prove that there are infinitely many triples of E2-numbers within a gap size of 32 and infinitely many triples of E3-numbers within a gap size of 15. Assuming the Elliot-Halberstam conjecture for primes and E2-numbers, we can improve these gaps to 12 and 5, respectively. We can obtain even smaller gaps for almost primes, almost prime powers, or integers having the same exponent pattern in the their prime factorizations. In particular, if d(x) denotes the number of divisors of x, we prove that there are integers a,b with 1≤a<b≤9 such that d(x)=d(x+a)=d(x+b)=192 for infinitely many x. Assuming Elliot-Halberstam, we prove that there are integers a,b with 1≤a<b≤4 such that d(x)=d(x+a)=d(x+b)=24 for infinitely many x.

A Bombieri-Vinogradov Theorem for primes in short intervals and small sectors,
arXiv.org
Let K be a finite Galois extension of ℚ. We count primes in short intervals represented by the norm of a prime ideal of K satisfying a small sector condition determined by Hecke characters. We also show that such primes are well-distributed in arithmetic progressions in the sense of Bombieri-Vinogradov. This extends the previous work of Duke and Coleman.

Small gaps between almost primes, the parity problem, and some conjectures of Erdős on consecutive integers II
Journal of Number Theory
This paper is intended as a sequel to a paper written by four of the coauthors here. In the paper, they proved a stronger form of the Erdős-Mirksy conjecture which states that there are infinitely many positive integers x such that d(x)=d(x+1) where d(x) denotes the number of divisors of x. This conjecture was first proven by Heath-Brown in 1984, but the method did not reveal the nature of the set of values d(x) for such x. In particular, one could not conclude that there was any particular…
This paper is intended as a sequel to a paper written by four of the coauthors here. In the paper, they proved a stronger form of the Erdős-Mirksy conjecture which states that there are infinitely many positive integers x such that d(x)=d(x+1) where d(x) denotes the number of divisors of x. This conjecture was first proven by Heath-Brown in 1984, but the method did not reveal the nature of the set of values d(x) for such x. In particular, one could not conclude that there was any particular value A for which d(x)=d(x+1)=A infinitely often. In the previous paper arXiv:0803.2636, the authors showed that there are infinitely many positive integers x such that both x and x+1 have exponent pattern {2,1,1,1}, so d(x)=d(x+1)=24. Similar results were known for certain shifts n, i.e., x and x+n have the same fixed exponent pattern infinitely often. This was done for shifts n which are either even or not divisible by the product of a pair of twin primes. The goal of this paper is to give simple proofs of results on exponent patterns for an arbitrary shift n.

I’ll be hosting a roundtable on “Integrating Gen Z’s culture to create the future of work and products.”
Every generation has its own values as consumers and creators, and the globalization of Gen Z culture is one that has never been seen before. How can companies keep up with this emerging generation and predict future trends that appeal to Gen Z in the age of social media? Companies will need to figure out how to adapt quickly to be at the forefront of the future of work, innovation, and creation for Gen Z. -

"Why are you here? Girls aren’t good at math; you’re not even going to come close to winning,” I heard a boy say. I was in 3rd grade at my first math competition, when I encountered the global issue of gender bias. Right then, I decided I wouldn’t let anyone ever tell me what I couldn’t accomplish. I apply that same can-do mindset to my academics and art, so that I can advocate for those who can’t and inspire others to do the same.
