A uniform algebra $A$ on its Shilov boundary $X$ is {\em maximal} if $A$ is not $C(X)$ and there is no uniform algebra properly contained between $A$ and $C(X)$. It is {\em essentially pervasive} if $A$ is dense in $C(F)$ whenever $F$ is a…

For a nonempty polyhedral set $P\subset \mathbb R^d$, let $\mathcal F(P)$ denote the set of faces of $P$, and let $N(P,F)$ be the normal cone of $P$ at the nonempty face $F\in\mathcal F(P)$. We prove that the function $\sum_{F\in\mathcal…

Let $G$ be an additive abelian group. A sequence $S = g_1 \cdot \ldots \cdot g_{\ell}$ of terms from $G$ is a plus-minus weighted zero-sum sequence if there are $\varepsilon_1, \ldots, \varepsilon_{\ell} \in \{-1, 1\}$ such that…

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 $B$…

Martin Kneser proved the following addition theorem for every abelian group $G$. If $A,B \subseteq G$ are finite and nonempty, then $|A+B| \ge |A+K| + |B+K| - |K|$ where $K = \{g \in G \mid g+A+B = A+B \}$. Here we give a short proof of…

We answer a question of Darji and Keleti by proving that there exists a compact set $C_0\subset\RR$ of measure zero such that for every perfect set $P\subset\RR$ there exists $x\in\RR$ such that $(C_0+x)\cap P$ is uncountable. Using this…

Let $G$ be the $ax+b$ group. There are essentially two irreducible infinite dimensional unitary representations of $G$, $(\mu, L^2(\mathbb R^+))$ and $(\mu^*, L^2(\mathbb R^+))$. In this paper, we give various characterizations about smooth…

Two-dimensional version of the classical Mycielski theorem says that for every comeager or conull set $X\subseteq [0,1]^2$ there exists a perfect set $P\subseteq [0,1]$ such that $P\times P\subseteq X\cup \Delta$. We consider…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group. We show how complemented ideals in the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of $G$ arise naturally from a class of thin sets known as Leinert sets. Moreover, we also present an explicit example of a closed ideal in…

We classify the weak*-closed maximal left ideals of the measure algebra $M(G)$ for certain Hermitian locally compact groups $G$ in terms of the irreducible representations of $G$ and their asymptotic properties. In particular, we obtain a…

We investigate the question of how well points on a nondegenerate $k$-dimensional submanifold $M \subseteq \mathbb R^d$ can be approximated by rationals also lying on $M$, establishing an upper bound on the "intrinsic Dirichlet exponent"…

We study linear and algebraic structures in sets of Dirichlet series with maximal Bohr's strip. More precisely, we consider a set $\mathscr M$ of Dirichlet series which are uniformly continuous on the right half plane and whose strip of…

We develop a theory of \emph{sharp measure zero} sets that parallels Borel's \emph{strong measure zero}, and prove a theorem analogous to Galvin-Myscielski-Solovay Theorem, namely that a set of reals has sharp measure zero if and only if it…

In this paper we show that for every Dirichlet $L$-function $L(s,\chi)$ and every $N\geq 2$ the Dirichlet series $L(s,\chi)+L(2s,\chi)+\cdots+L(Ns,\chi)$ have infinitely many zeros for $\sigma>1$. Moreover we show that for many general…

We provide sufficient conditions for a set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ to be a non-universal differentiability set, i.e. to be contained in the set of points of non-differentiability of a real-valued Lipschitz function. These conditions are…

We prove that finite sets of real numbers satisfying $|AA| \leq |A|^{1+\epsilon}$ with sufficiently small $\epsilon > 0$ cannot have small additive bases nor can they be written as a set of sums $B+C$ with $|B|, |C| \geq 2$. The result can…

It is shown that for any translation invariant outer measure M, the M-measure of the intersection of any subset of R^n that is invariant under rational translations and which does not have full Lebesgue measure with an the closure of an…

Let $g \in L^2(\mathbb{R})$ be a rational function of degree $M$, i.e. there exist polynomials $P, Q$ such that $g = {{P} \over {Q}}$ and $deg(P) < deg(Q) \leq M$. We prove that for any $\varepsilon>0$ and any $M \in \mathbb{N}$ there…

A Puiseux monoid is a submonoid of $(\mathbb{Q},+)$ consisting of nonnegative rational numbers. Although the operation of addition is continuous with respect to the standard topology, the set of irreducibles of a Puiseux monoid is, in…

It is shown, from hypotheses in the region of $\omega^2$ Woodin cardinals, that there is a transitive model of KP + AD$_\mathbb{R}$ containing all reals.
