Let $\mathcal{A}=\{a_{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ and $\mathcal{B}=\{b_{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be two sequences of positive integers (not necessarily distinct). Under some restrictions on $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$, we obtain a lower bound for…

We show that for any set $A \subset \mathbb{N}$ with positive upper density and any $\ell,m \in \mathbb{N}$, there exist an infinite set $B\subset \mathbb{N}$ and some $t\in \mathbb{N}$ so that $\{mb_1 + \ell b_2 \colon b_1,b_2\in B\…

Let $s\ge 2$ be an integer. Denote by $\mu_s$ the least integer so that every integer $\ell >\mu_s$ is the sum of exactly $s$ integers $>1 $ which are pairwise relatively prime. In 1964, Sierpi\'nski asked a determination of $\mu_s$. Let…

In this paper we define the $p$-density of a finite subset $D\subset\ma{N}^r$, and show that it gives a good lower bound for the $p$-adic valuation of exponential sums over finite fields of characteristic $p$. We also give an application:…

Let $p$ be a prime and ${\mathfrak P}_p$ the set of positive integers which are prime to $p$. Recently, Wang and Cai proved that for every positive integer $r$ and prime $p>2$ $$ \sum_{\substack{i+j+k=p^r\\ i,j,k\in{\mathfrak P}_p}}…

For any set $A$ of natural numbers with positive upper Banach density and any $k\geq 1$, we show the existence of an infinite set $B\subset{\mathbb N}$ and a shift $t\geq0$ such that $A-t$ contains all sums of $m$ distinct elements from $B$…

This paper presents an erroneous proof that if the polynomials are dense in $L_2(\mathbb{R}, \rho)$, then they are dense in $L_2(\mathbb{R}, \rho+\mu)$ where $\mu$ is a measure supported on a finite set of points.

Polignac [1] conjectured that for every even natural number $2k (k\geq1)$, there exist infinitely many consecutive primes $p_n$ and $p_{n+1}$ such that $p_{n+1}-p_n=2k$. A weakened form of this conjecture states that for every $k\geq1$,…

We introduce a wide class of deterministic subsets of primes of zero relative density and we prove Roth's Theorem in these sets, namely, we show that any subset of them with positive relative upper density contains infinitely many…

We propose a new interpretation of the classical index of appearance for second order linear recursive sequences. It stems from the formula \[ C_{n}(t)-2 =\frac{\Delta}{Q^{n}}\ L_n^2,\ \ \ \text{where} \ \ t= (T^2-2Q)/Q, \ \Delta = T^2-4Q,…

Let $\pi(x;\gamma_1,\gamma_2)$ denote the number of primes $p$ with $p\leqslant x$ and $p=\lfloor n^{1/\gamma_1}_1\rfloor=\lfloor n^{1/\gamma_2}_2\rfloor$, where $\lfloor t\rfloor$ denotes the integer part of $t\in\mathbb{R}$ and…

We show that if $A\subset \mathbb{Z}$ is a finite set of integers in which every integer is divisible by $O(1)$ many primes then \[\max(\lvert A+A\rvert,\lvert AA\rvert) \geq \lvert A\rvert^{12/7-o(1)}\] and, for any $m\geq 2$,…

We prove a quantitative Roth-type theorem for polynomial corners in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Let $P_1$ and $P_2$ be two linearly independent polynomials with zero constant term. We show that any measurable subset of $[0,1]^2$ with positive measure…

In this paper we show that every set $A \subset \mathbb{N}$ with positive density contains $B+C$ for some pair $B,C$ of infinite subsets of $\mathbb{N}$, settling a conjecture of Erd\H{o}s. The proof features two different decompositions of…

We show that if $h\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ is a polynomial of degree $k$ such that the congruence $h(x)\equiv0\pmod{q}$ has a solution for every positive integer $q$, then any subset of $\{1,2,\ldots,N\}$ with no two distinct elements with…

We prove a density version of the Carlson--Simpson Theorem. Specifically we show the following. For every integer $k\geq 2$ and every set $A$ of words over $k$ satisfying \[\limsup_{n\to\infty} \frac{|A\cap [k]^n|}{k^n}>0\] there exist a…

We study the problem of deformation quantization for (algebraic) symplectic manifolds over a base field of positive characteristic. We prove a reasonably complete classification theorem for one class of such quantizations; in the course of…

We give a short proof of the fact that every set of natural numbers with positive upper Banach density contains the sum of two infinite sets. The approach simplifies earlier existing proofs.

We investigate the lower asymptotic density of sumsets in $\mathbb{N}^2$ by proving certain Pl\"unnecke type inequalities for various notions of lower density in $\mathbb{N}^2$. More specifically, we introduce a notion of lower tableaux…

In this paper, we introduce the prime trees associated with a finite subset $P$ of the set of all prime numbers, and provide conditions under which the tree is of finite type. Moreover, we compute the density of finite-type subsets $P$. As…
