On the exponential sum over \( k\)-free numbers (with Joerg Brudern, Alberto Perelli, Bob Vaughan and Trevor Wooley )
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, 356 (1998), 739-761.

We give upper and lower bounds for exponential sums over \( k\)-power free numbers

A binary additive problem of Erdös and the order of \(2 \pmod {p^2}\) (with K. Soundararajan )
Ramanujan Journal, 2 (1998), 283-298.

We show that the problem of representing every odd integer as the sum of a squarefree number and a power of 2 is strongly related to the problem of showing that \( p^2\) divides \( 2^{p-1}-1\) for few primes \( p\).

ABC allows us to can count squarefrees,
International Mathematical Research Notices, 19 (1998), 991-1009.

We show that the \( abc\)-conjecture allows one to give the appropriate estimate for the number of squarefree values of any given polynomial

Article

International team shows that primes can be found in surprising places,
Resonance, 3 (1998), 71-72.

A journalistic article on the breakthrough of Friedlander and Iwaniec on primes of the form \( a^2+b^4\)
