Consensus is a well-studied problem in distributed sensing, computation and control, yet deriving useful and easily computable bounds on the rate of convergence to consensus remains a challenge. This paper discusses the use of seminorms for…
Gowers norms have been studied extensively both in the direct sense, starting with a function and understanding the associated norm, and in the inverse sense, starting with the norm and deducing properties of the function. Instead of…
The reconstruction theorem and the multilevel Schauder estimate have central roles in the analytic theory of regularity structures [17]. Inspired by [26], we provide elementary proofs for them by using the semigroup of operators.…
Szemeredi's regularity lemma can be viewed as a rough structure theorem for arbitrary dense graphs, decomposing such graphs into a structured piece (a partition into cells with edge densities), a small error (corresponding to irregular…
This is a companion note to our paper 'A relative Szemer\'edi theorem', elaborating on a concluding remark. In that paper, we showed how to prove a relative Szemer\'edi theorem for $(r+1)$-term arithmetic progressions assuming a linear…
Gowers introduced the notion of uniformity norm $\|f\|_{U^k(G)}$ of a bounded function $f:G\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ on an abelian group $G$ in order to provide a Fourier-theoretic proof of Szemeredi's Theorem, that is, that a subset of the…
Gowers norms have been a key component in the proofs of many breakthrough results in connection to the sum of digits function. Spiegelhofer has used them to show that the Thue-Morse sequence has level of distribution 1 and also that it is…
We prove quasipolynomial bounds on the inverse theorem for the Gowers $U^{s+1}[N]$-norm. The proof is modeled after work of Green, Tao, and Ziegler and uses as a crucial input recent work of the first author regarding the equidistribution…
In this paper we prove two new abstract compactness criteria in normed spaces. To this end we first introduce the notion of an equinormed set using a suitable family of semi-norms on the given normed space satisfying some natural…
Uniformly finite homology is a coarse homology theory, defined via chains that satisfy a uniform boundedness condition. By construction, uniformly finite homology carries a canonical $\ell^\infty$-semi-norm. We show that, for uniformly…
Let G be a finite graph with the non-k-order property (essentially, a uniform finite bound on the size of an induced sub-half-graph). A major result of the paper applies model-theoretic arguments to obtain a stronger version of…
In this paper we introduce and study a certain type of sub semi-group of $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ which turns out to be closely related to \sz's theorem on arithmetic progressions.
(This text is a survey written for the Bourbaki seminar on the work of F. Manners.) Gowers uniformity norms are the central objects of higher order Fourier analysis, one of the cornerstones of additive combinatorics, and play an important…
The paper begins by exploring the various definitions of norms on semigroups and then presents a new definition of a normed semigroup. The properties of normed semigroups in the new sense are investigated. The new definition of the norm is…
The notion of uniform equicontinuity in measure at zero for sequences of additive maps from a normed space into the space of measurable operators associated with a semifinite von Neumann algebra is discussed. It is shown that uniform…
We consider, over both the integers and finite fields, Szemer\'{e}di's theorem on $k$-term arithmetic progressions where the set $S$ of allowed common differences in those progressions is restricted and random. Fleshing out a line of…
In graph theory, the Szemer\'edi regularity lemma gives a decomposition of the indicator function for any graph $G$ into a structured component, a uniform part, and a small error. This result, in conjunction with a counting lemma that…
We consider random fields indexed by finite subsets of an amenable discrete group, taking values in the Banach-space of bounded right-continuous functions. The field is assumed to be equivariant, local, coordinate-wise monotone, and almost…
We show that, under some mild hypotheses, the Gowers uniformity norms (both in the additive and in the hypergraph setting) are essentially equivalent to certain weaker norms which are easier to understand. We present two applications of…
Power-law uniform (in the operator norm) convergence on vector subspaces with their own norms in von Neumann's ergodic theorem with continuous time is considered. All possible exponents of the considered power-law convergence are found; for…
