We show that the sequence $(\alpha n)_{n\in \mathcal{B}}$ is uniformly distributed modulo 1, for every irrational $\alpha$, provided $\mathcal{B}$ belongs to a certain family of integer sequences, which includes the prime, almost prime,…

Let $\mathcal{O}_K$ be a complete discrete valuation ring with field of fractions $K$ and algebraically closed residue field $k.$ Let $G$ be a smooth connected commutative algebraic group over $K$ which does not contain a copy of…

Non-iterative normal modal logics are defined by axioms of modal degree 1. In this paper we use calculations with normal forms to determine the set of all possible non-iterative normal modal logics, unimodal propositional extensions of K.…

Let $x$ be a periodic continued fraction with the initial block $0$ and the repeating block $c_1,\ldots,c_n$. So $x$ is a quadratic irrational of the form $x=a+\sqrt b$, where $a$, $b$ are rational numbers, $b>0$, $b$ not a square. The…

We prove new upper and lower bounds on the number of iterations the $k$-dimensional Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm ($k$-WL) requires until stabilization. For $k \geq 3$, we show that $k$-WL stabilizes after at most $O(kn^{k-1}\log n)$…

We study the semisimplicity of the category $KL_k$ for affine Lie superalgebras and provide a super analog of certain results from arXiv:1801.09880. Let $KL_k^{fin}$ be the subcategory of $KL_k$ consisting of ordinary modules on which the…

It is now a classical result that an algebraic space locally of finite type over $\mathbf{C}$ is analytifiable if and only if it is locally separated. In this paper we study non-archimedean analytifications of algebraic spaces. We construct…

For any pair of ordinals $\alpha<\beta$, $\sf CA_\alpha$ denotes the class of cylindric algebras of dimension $\alpha$, $\sf RCA_{\alpha}$ denote the class of representable $\sf CA_\alpha$s and $\sf Nr_\alpha CA_\beta$ ($\sf Ra CA_\beta)$…

We provide an alternative proof that $\sqrt{2}$ is irrational that does not begin with the assumption that $\sqrt{2}$ is in fact rational.

In the present paper, we introduce a new approach, relying on the Galois theory of difference equations, to study the nature of the generating series of walks in the quarter plane. Using this approach, we are not only able to recover many…

We make some observation on the logarithmic version of K-stability.

We prove that there exist rational but not uniformly rational smooth algebraic varieties. The proof is based on computing a certain numerical obstruction developed in the case of compactifications of affine spaces. We show that for some…

Let $k \geq 1$ be a natural number and $f \in \mathbb{F}_q[t]$ be a monic polynomial. Let $\omega_k(f)$ denote the number of distinct monic irreducible factors of $f$ with multiplicity $k$. We obtain asymptotic estimates for the first and…

Let K(x_1,...,x_d) be a polynomial. If you are not given the real numbers \alpha_1, \alpha_2, ...,\alpha_d, but are given the polynomial K and the sequence a_n=K(\floor{n\alpha_1},\floor{n\alpha_2},...,\floor{n\alpha_d}), can you deduce the…

A symmetrized lattice of $2n$ points in terms of an irrational real number $\alpha$ is considered in the unit square, as in the theorem of Davenport. If $\alpha$ is a quadratic irrational, the square of the $L^2$ discrepancy is found to be…

We consider Presburger arithmetic (PA) extended by scalar multiplication by an algebraic irrational number $\alpha$, and call this extension $\alpha$-Presburger arithmetic ($\alpha$-PA). We show that the complexity of deciding sentences in…

Let $\alpha,\beta \in \mathbb{R}_{>0}$ be such that $\alpha,\beta$ are quadratic and $\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)\neq \mathbb{Q}(\beta)$. Then every subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ definable in both $(\mathbb{R},{<},+,\mathbb{Z},x\mapsto \alpha x)$ and…

For every natural number k we introduce the notion of k-th order convolution of functions on abelian groups. We study the group of convolution preserving automorphisms of function algebras in the limit. It turns out that such groups have…

$\omega$-clones are multi-sorted structures that naturally emerge as algebras for infinite trees, just as $\omega$-semigroups are convenient algebras for infinite words. In the algebraic theory of languages, one hopes that a language is…
