The theory of scale relativity provides a new insight into the origin of fundamental laws in physics. Its application to microphysics allows to recover quantum mechanics as mechanics on a non-differentiable (fractal) space-time. The…

In acoustical engineering, analytical methodologies are often restricted to two or three dimensions; however, a general-dimensional approach can enhance learning and implementation efficiency while providing a unified understanding of…

We introduce and study a new complexity function in combinatorics on words, which takes into account the smallest second occurrence time of a factor of an infinite word. We characterize the eventually periodic words and the Sturmian words…

Inflationary models within string theory exhibit unusual scalar field dynamics involving non-minimal kinetic terms and generically referred to as k-inflation. In this situation, the standard slow-roll approach used to determine the behavior…

We determine the Hausdorff dimension of sets of irrationals in $(0,1)$ whose partial quotients in semi-regular continued fractions obey certain restrictions and growth conditions. This result substantially generalizes that of the second…

Let $g(k)$ be the maximum size of a planar set that determines at most $k$ distances. We prove $$\frac{\pi}{3\,C(\Lambda_{hex})}\ k\sqrt{\log k} (1+o(1)) \le g(k) \le C k\log k,$$ so $g(k) \asymp k\sqrt{\log k}$ with an explicit constant…

Let G be a non-elementary, finitely generated Kleinian group, Lambda(G) its limit set and Omega(G) = S \ Lambda(G) (S = the sphere) its set of discontinuity. Let delta(G) be the critical exponent for the Poincar\'e series and let Lambda_c…

We introduce a new concept of resonance on discrete dynamical systems. This concept formalizes the observation that, in various combinatorially-natural cyclic group actions, orbit cardinalities are all multiples of divisors of a fundamental…

The `cosmic calibration tension' is a $> 5\sigma$ discrepancy between the cosmological distance ladder built from baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO) calibrated by the Planck/$\Lambda$CDM sound horizon ($r_s$) and Type Ia supernovae (SN1a)…

Let $A$ and $B$ be non-constant rational functions over $\mathbb{C}$, and let $K \subset \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{C})$ be an infinite set. Using height functions, we prove that the inclusion $ A^{-1}(K) \subseteq B^{-1}(K) $ implies the…

Given commutative, unital rings $A$ and $B$ with a ring homomorphism $A\to B$ making $B$ free of finite rank as an $A$-module, we can ask for a "trace" or "norm" homomorphism taking algebraic data over $B$ to algebraic data over $A$. In…

We study the Hausdorff dimension of self-similar sets and measures on the line. We show that if the dimension is smaller than the minimum of 1 and the similarity dimension, then at small scales there are super-exponentially close cylinders.…

Given a compact set $E \subset \mathbb{R}^{d - 1}$, $d \geq 1$, write $K_{E} := [0,1] \times E \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$. A theorem of C. Bishop and J. Tyson states that any set of the form $K_{E}$ is minimal for conformal dimension: if…

For sets $A, B\subset \mathbb N$, their sumset is $A + B := \{a+b: a\in A, b\in B\}$. If we cannot write a set $C$ as $C = A+B$ with $|A|, |B|\geq 2$, then we say that $C$ is $\textit{irreducible}$. The question of whether a given set $C$…

In this paper, we simplify and improve the constant, $c$, that appears in effective irrationality measures, $|(a/b)^{m/n}-p/q|>c|q|^{-(\kappa+1)}$, obtained from the hypergeometric method for $a/b$ near $1$. The dependence of $c$ on $|a|$…

We obtain box-counting estimates for the pinned distance sets of (dense subsets of) planar discrete Ahlfors-regular sets of exponent $s>1$. As a corollary, we improve upon a recent result of Orponen, by showing that if $A$ is…

S. Smirnov proved recently that the Hausdorff dimension of any K-quasicircle is at most 1+k^2, where k=(K-1)/(K+1). In this paper we show that if $\Gamma$ is such a quasicircle, then $H^{1+k^2}(B(x,r)\cap \Gamma)\leq C(k) r^{1+k^2}$ for all…

A Cantor set is a non-empty, compact set that has neither interior nor isolated points. In this paper a Cantor set $K\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ is constructed such that every set definable in $(\mathbb{R},<,+,\cdot,K)$ is Borel. In addition, we…

As circuits continue to miniaturize, noise has become a significant obstacle to performance optimization. Stochastic resonance in logic circuits offers an innovative approach to harness noise constructively; however, current implementations…

We apply the results of arXiv:1301.5633 to describe asymptotic behavior of linear waves on stationary Lorentzian metrics with r-normally hyperbolic trapped sets, in particular Kerr and Kerr-de Sitter metrics with |a|<M and M\Lambda a << 1.…
