We study the theory of a global field k as a k-vector space with a predicate for one of the absolute values on k. For example, we prove that in this language a global field with an ultrametric or real archimedean absolute value has a…

In this paper, we study generalized versions of the k-center problem, which involves finding k circles of the smallest possible equal radius that cover a finite set of points in the plane. By utilizing the Minkowski gauge function, we…

We compute rationally the topological (complex) K-theory of the classifying space BG of a discrete group provided that G has a cocompact G-CW-model for its classifying space for proper G-actions. For instance word-hyperbolic groups and…

Varchenko's approach to quantum groups, from the theory of arrangements of hyperplanes, can be usefully applied to q-algebras in general, of which quantum groups and quantum (super) Kac-Moody algebras are special cases. New results are…

We address the "sums of dilates problem" by looking for non-trivial lower bounds on sumsets of the form $k \cdot X + l \cdot X$, where $k$ and $l$ are non-zero integers and $X$ is a subset of a possibly non-abelian group $G$ (written…

Let R be a polynomial ring over k(u), where k is a field k and u is a finite family or inderterminates. The paper introduces the specialization of an arbitrary finitely generated R-module by the substitution of u to elements of k. This…

Let $K$ be a field and $G$ be a finite group. Let $G$ act on the rational function field $K(x(g):g\in G)$ by $K$ automorphisms defined by $g\cdot x(h)=x(gh)$ for any $g,h\in G$. Denote by $K(G)$ the fixed field $K(x(g):g\in G)^G$. Noether's…

A finite group G is called admissible over a given field if there exists a central division algebra that contains a G-Galois field extension as a maximal subfield. We give a definition of embedding problems of division algebras that extends…

For natural numbers $n$ and $k$, the concepts of $n$-modularly embedded subgroup, $k$-submodular subgroup and $k$-$\mathrm{LM}$-group are given, which generalize, respectively, the concepts of modular subgroup, submodular subgroup and…

For a finite abelian group $G$ and a positive integer $k$, let $\mathsf{D}_k(G)$ denote the smallest integer $\ell$ such that each sequence over $G$ of length at least $\ell$ has $k$ disjoint nontrivial zero-sum subsequences. It is known…

In additive number theory, a finite set $A$ of integers is an $h$-basis for $n$ if every integer in $\{0,1,2,\ldots, n\}$ can be represented as the sum of exactly $h$ not necessarily distinct elements of $A$. This paper introduces a new…

Let G be a group and let k be a cardinal. A subset A of G is called left (right) k-large if there exists a subset F of G such that |F| < { and G = FA (G = AF). We say that A is k-large if A is left and right k-large. It is known that every…

A pure quantum state of $n$ parties associated with the Hilbert space $\CC^{d_1}\otimes \CC^{d_2}\otimes\cdots\otimes \CC^{d_n}$ is called $k$-uniform if all the reductions to $k$-parties are maximally mixed. The $n$ partite system is…

The edge geodesic cover problem of a graph $G$ is to find a smallest number of geodesics that cover the edge set of $G$. The edge $k$-general position problem is introduced as the problem to find a largest set $S$ of edges of $G$ such that…

We describe Universal Coefficient Theorems for the equivariant Kasparov theory for C*-algebras with an action of the group of integers or over a unique path space, using KK-valued invariants. We compare the resulting classification up to…

A Kakeya set contains a line in each direction. Dvir proved a lower bound on the size of any Kakeya set in a finite field using the polynomial method. We prove analogues of Dvir's result for non-degenerate conics, that is, parabolae and…

A k-uniform linear cycle of length s is a cyclic list of k-sets A_1,..., A_s such that consecutive sets intersect in exactly one element and nonconsecutive sets are disjoint. For all k at least 5 and s at least 3 and sufficiently large n we…

The extremal problems regarding the maximum possible size of intersecting families of various combinatorial objects have been extensively studied. In this paper, we investigate supersaturation extensions, which in this context ask for the…

A permutation $\sigma \in S_n$ is a $k$-superpattern (or $k$-universal) if it contains each $\tau \in S_k$ as a pattern. This notion of "superpatterns" can be generalized to words on smaller alphabets, and several questions about…

In this article we describe the $G_{comp}\times G_{comp}$-equivariant topological $K$-ring of a {\em cellular} toroidal embedding $\mathbb{X}$ of a complex connected reductive algebraic group $G$. In particular, our results extend the…
