For $k\in\mathbb R$, we consider a $\mathbb C$-algebra $\mathcal A_k$ of holomorphic functions in the half plane $Re\; z>k$ with (at most) subexponential growth on the real line to $+\infty$. In the $\mathcal A_k$-algebra of sequences of…

Let $k \ge 2$ and $\alpha_1, \beta_1, ..., \alpha_k, \beta_k$ be reals such that the $\alpha_i$'s are irrational and greater than 1. Suppose further that some ratio $\alpha_i/\alpha_j$ is irrational. We study the representations of an…

We prove that the moduli spaces of K3 surfaces with non-symplectic involution are rational for four deformation types. With the previous results, this establishes the rationality of those moduli spaces except two classical cases.

We describe a procedure to compute the rational nonstable K-groups of A$\mathbb{T}$-algebras. As an application, we show that an A$\mathbb{T}$-algebra is K-stable if and only if it has slow dimension growth.

For a rotation by an irrational $\alpha$ on the circle and a BV function $\varphi$, we study the variance of the ergodic sums $S_L \varphi(x) := \sum_{j=0}^{L -1} \, \varphi(x + j\alpha)$. When $\alpha$ is not of constant type, we construct…

We present a novel construction of linear deformations for Lie algebras and use it to prove the non-rigidity of several classes of Lie algebras in different varieties. We consider the family of Lie algebras with an abelian factor showing…

We conjecture that bounded generalised polynomial functions cannot be generated by finite automata, except for the trivial case when they are ultimately periodic. Using methods from ergodic theory, we are able to partially resolve this…

We establish that the sequences formed by logarithms and by "fractional" powers of integers, as well as the sequence of prime numbers, are non-holonomic, thereby answering three open problems of Gerhold [Electronic Journal of Combinatorics…

We show that the Calkin algebra is not countably homogeneous, in the sense of continuous model theory. We furthermore show that the connected component of the unitary group of the Calkin algebra is not countably homogeneous.

This paper studies non-autonomous Lyness type recurrences of the form $x_{n+2}=(a_n+x_{n+1})/x_{n}$, where $\{a_n\}$ is a $k$-periodic sequence of positive numbers with primitive period $k$. We show that for the cases $k\in\{1,2,3,6\}$ the…

K3 surfaces with non-symplectic involution are classified by open sets of seventy-five arithmetic quotients of type IV. We prove that those moduli spaces are rational except two classical cases.

Let $K_0(\mathrm{Var}_{\mathbb{Q}})[1/\mathbb{L}]$ denote the Grothendieck ring of $\mathbb{Q}$-varieties with the Lefschetz class inverted. We show that there exists a K3 surface X over $\mathbb{Q}$ such that the motivic zeta function…

Let $K/F$ be an unramified quadratic extension of non-Archimedian local fields with residue character not equals to 2. We prove the linear Arithmetic Fundamental Lemma for GL$_4$ with the unit element in the spherical Hecke Algebra. In this…

We carry out the spatially periodic homogenization of nonlinear bending theory for plates. The derivation is rigorous in the sense of Gamma-convergence. In contrast to what one naturally would expect, our result shows that the limiting…

Given any non-polynomial $G$-function $F(z)=\sum\_{k=0}^\infty A\_k z^k$ of radius of convergence $R$, we consider the $G$-functions $F\_n^{[s]}(z)=\sum\_{k=0}^\infty \frac{A\_k}{(k+n)^s}z^k$ for any integers $s\geq 0$ and $n\geq 1$. For…

A real number is called simply normal to base $b$ if every digit $0,1,\ldots ,b-1$ should appear in its $b$-adic expansion with the same frequency $1/b$. A real number is called normal to base $b$ if it is simply normal to every base $b,…

Assuming a mild non-degeneracy condition excluding very low-level Cantor endpoints, and assuming a counting/input hypothesis for the contribution of non-deep orbit indices, we show that for the quadratic field $K=\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)$ there…

We establish a combinatorial connection between the sequence $(i_{n,k})$ counting the involutions on $n$ letters with $k$ descents and the sequence $(a_{n,k})$ enumerating the semistandard Young tableaux on $n$ cells with $k$ symbols. This…

The paper gives some criteria for partial sums of rational number sequences to be not rational functions and to be not algebraic functions. As an application, we study partial sums of some famous rational number sequences in mathematical…

We prove that if $\alpha$ is a non-zero algebraic number of degree $d \geq 2$ which is not a root of unity, then $dh(\alpha)>(1/4) (\log(\log (d))/\log(d))^3.
