A note on the distribution of weights of fixed-rank matrices over the binary field

Let M be a random $m\times n$ rank-r matrix over the binary field ${\mathbb{F}}_2$, and let $\mathrm{wt}(\mathbf{M})$ be its Hamming weight, that is, the number of nonzero entries of M.We prove that, as $m,n\to +\infty$ with r fixed and $m/n$ tending to a constant, we have that$\frac{\mathrm{wt}(\mathbf{M})-\frac{1-2^{-r}}{2}mn}{\sqrt{\frac{2^{-r}(1-2^{-r})}{4}(m+n)mn}}$ converges in distribution to a standard normal random variable.     

On the boomerang uniformity of a class of permutation quadrinomials over finite fields

Let ${\mathbb{F}}_{2^n}$ be a finite field with $2^n$ elements and $f_{\underset{\_}{c}}(x)=c_0{x}^{2^m(2^k+1)}+c_1{x}^{2^{m+k}+1}+c_2{x}^{2^m+2^k}+c_3{x}^{2^k+1}\in {\mathbb{F}}_{2^n}[x]$, where n, m and k are positive integers with $n=2m$ and $\gcd ?(m,k)=e$. In this paper, motivated by a recent work of Li, Xiong and Zeng (Li et al. (2021) [12]), we further study the boomerang uniformity of $f_{\underset{\_}{c}}(x)$ by using similar ideas and carrying out particular techniques in solving equations over finite fields. As a consequence, we generalize Li, Xiong and Zeng's result from the case of m being odd and $e=1$ to that of both $m/e$ and $k/e$ being odd.     

Semiclassical resolvent bounds for compactly supported radial potentials

We employ separation of variables to prove weighted resolvent estimates for the semiclassical Schrödinger operator $?h^2\mathrm{\Delta }+V(|x|)?E$ in dimension $n\ge 2$, where $h,E>0$, and $V:[0,\infty )\to \mathbb{R}$ is $L^{\infty }$ and compactly supported. The weighted resolvent norm grows no faster than $\exp ?(C{h}^{?1})$, while an exterior weighted norm grows $～h^{?1}$. We introduce a new method based on the Mellin transform to handle the two-dimensional case.
