By means of Peres-Schlag's method we prove the existence of real numbers $\alpha, \beta$ such that $$ \liminf_{q\to \infty} (q\log^2 q)||\alpha q|| ||\beta q|| > 0.

We establish that the set of pairs $(\alpha, \beta)$ of real numbers such that $$ \liminf_{q \to + \infty} q \cdot (\log q)^2 \cdot \Vert q \alpha \Vert \cdot \Vert q \beta \Vert > 0, $$ where $\Vert \cdot \Vert$ denotes the distance to the…

Let $A, B\subseteq \mathbb{Z}$ be finite, nonempty subsets with $\min A=\min B=0$, and let $$\delta(A,B)={\begin{array}{ll} 1 & \hbox{if} A\subseteq B, 0 & \hbox{otherwise.} If $\max B\leq \max A\leq |A|+|B|-3$ and \label{one}|A+B|\leq…

We prove a conjecture due to Stephen Harrap on inhomogeneous linear Diophantine approximation related to ${\rm BAD}(\alpha,\beta)$ sets.

Let $0 < \beta \leq \alpha < 1$ and $\kappa > 0$. I prove that there exists $\eta > 0$ such that the following holds for every pair of Borel sets $A,B \subset \mathbb{R}$ with $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} A = \alpha$ and $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} B =…

This paper extends those of Glendinning and Sidorov [3] and of Hare and Sidorov [6] from the case of the doubling map to the more general $\beta$-transformation. Let $\beta \in (1,2)$ and consider the $\beta$-transformation…

Let $\mu_1 \ge \dotsc \ge \mu_n > 0$ and $\mu_1 + \dotsm + \mu_n = 1$. Let $X_1, \dotsc, X_n$ be independent non-negative random variables with $EX_1 = \dotsc = EX_n = 1$, and let $Z = \sum_{i=1}^n \mu_i X_i$. Let $M = \max_{1 \le i \le n}…

Consider irrational affine subspace $ A\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ of dimension $a$. We prove that the set $$ \{\xi =(\xi_1,...,\xi_d) \in {A}:\,\,\, \ q^{1/a}\cdot \max_{1\le i \le d} ||q\xi_i|| \to \infty,\,\,\,\, q\to \infty\} $$ is an…

In this paper, we prove the twin prime conjecture showing that \begin{align} \sum \limits_{\substack{p\leq x\\p,p+2\in \mathbb{P}}}1\geq (1+o(1))\frac{x}{2\mathcal{C}\log^2 x}\nonumber \end{align} where $\mathcal{C}:=\mathcal{C}(2)>0$ fixed…

We show that there is a positive constant $\delta < 1$ such that the probability of satisfying either the $2$-Engel identity $[X_1, X_2, X_2] = 1$ or the metabelian identity $[[X_1, X_2], [X_3, X_4]] = 1$ in a finite group is either $1$ or…

Let $\varepsilon>0$. We construct an explicit, full-measure set of $\alpha \in[0,1]$ such that if $\gamma \in \mathbb{R}$ then, for almost all $\beta \in[0,1]$, if $\delta \in \mathbb{R}$ then there are infinitely many integers $n\geq 1$…

In this paper, we improve the results in the author's previous paper \cite{Usu22}, which deals with the quantitative problem on Littlewood's conjecture. We show that, for any $0<\gamma<1$, any $(\alpha,\beta)\in\mathbb{R}^2$ except on a set…

For each positive integer $m$ and each real finite dimensional Banach space $X$, we set $\beta(X,m)$ to be the infimum of $\delta\in (0,1]$ such that each set $A\subset X$ having diameter $1$ can be represented as the union of $m$ subsets…

We consider a natural filtration $\boldsymbol{\operatorname{Bad}}(\delta) \subset \boldsymbol{\operatorname{Bad}}(\delta')$ for $\delta \geq \delta'>0$ on the set of badly approximable numbers to complement the filtration of the well…

Let $A\subset [1,x]$ be a non-empty set of primes with $|A|= \alpha x(\log x)^{-1}$. We prove that there exist absolute constants $c_1,c_2>0$ such that, as $x$ gets sufficiently large, we have $|A+A|\geq c_1(\log x)(\log \log…

Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be real numbers such that $1$, $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are linearly independent over $\mathbb{Q}$. A classical result of Dirichlet asserts that there are infinitely many triples of integers $(x_0,x_1,x_2)$ such that…

Let $\alpha, \beta \geq 0$ and $\alpha + \beta < 1$. In this short note, we show that $\liminf_{n \to \infty} p_n^\beta(p_{n+1}^\alpha - p_n^\alpha) = 0$, where $p_n$ is the $n$th prime. This notes an improvement over results of S\'{a}ndor…

Let $\beta>1$. For $x \in [0,\infty)$, we have so-called the $\beta$-expansion of $x$ in base $\beta$ as follows: $$x= \sum_{j \leq k} x_{j}\beta^{j} = x_{k}\beta^{k}+ \cdots + x_{1}\beta+x_{0}+x_{-1}\beta^{-1} + x_{-2}\beta^{-2} + \cdots$$…

Let \beta be a real number. Then for almost all irrational \alpha>0 (in the sense of Lebesgue measure) \limsup_{x\to\infty}\pi_{\alpha,\beta}^*(x)(\log x)^2/x>=1, where \pi_{\alpha,\beta}^*(x)={p<=x: both p and [\alpha p+\beta] are primes}.
