We study the set $M$ of all multiplicities of non-zero eigenvalues for the Laplace operator on a two-dimensional rectangle or torus. We show that for a rectangle with the side length ratio $r$, $M=\mathbb{N}$, the set of all positive…

We introduce consecutive equi-$n$-squares, a variant of equi-$n$-squares in which at least one row or column forms a fixed permutation of $\{1,\dots,n\}$, taken for concreteness to be $(1,\dots,n)$. More generally, the enumeration and…

The Index Conjecture in zero-sum theory states that when $n$ is coprime to $6$ and $k$ equals $4$, every minimal zero-sum sequence of length $k$ modulo $n$ has index $1$. While other values of $(k,n)$ have been studied thoroughly in the…
