Une résolution spectrale du grand crible

Olivier Ramaré

Abstract

The quadratic form $V(\varphi,Q)=\sum_{q\sim Q}\sum_{a\mode q}|S(\varphi,a/q)|^2$ and its eigenvalues are well understood when $Q=o(\sqrt{N})$, while $V(\varphi,Q)$ is expected to behave like a Riemann sum when $N=o(Q)$. The behavior in the range $Q\in[\sqrt{N},100 N]$ is still mysterious. In the present work we present a full spectral analysis when $Q\ge N^{7/8}$ in terms of the eigenvalues of a one-parameter family of nuclear difference operators. We show in particular that (a smoothed version of) the quadratic form $V(\varphi,Q)$ may stay \emph{away} from $(6/\pi^2)Q\sum_n|\varphi_n|^2$ when $Q\asymp N$, though only on a vector space of positive but small dimension.
