We consider $m$ integral vectors $X_1,...,X_m \in \mathbb{Z}^s$ located in a half-space of $\mathbb{R}^s$ ($m\ge s\geq 1$) and study the structure of the additive semi-group $X_1 \mathbb{N} +... + X_m \mathbb{N}$. We introduce and study…

A set $X\subseteq\mathbb N$ is S-recognizable for an abstract numeration system S if the set $\rep_S(X)$ of its representations is accepted by a finite automaton. We show that the growth function of an S-recognizable set is always either…

A notion of generalized $n$-semimodularity is introduced, which extends that of (sub/super)mod\-ularity in four ways at once. The main result of this paper, stating that every generalized $(n\colon\!2)$-semimodular function on the $n$th…

Let $ (G_n)_{n=0}^{\infty} $ be a non-degenerate linear recurrence sequence with power sum representation $ G_n = a_1(n) \alpha_1^n + \cdots + a_t(n) \alpha_t^n $. In this paper we will prove a function field analogue of the well known…

Let $A \cong k\langle X \rangle / I$ be an associative algebra. A finite word over alphabet $X$ is $I${\it-reducible} if its image in $A$ is a $k$-linear combination of length-lexicographically lesser words. An {\it obstruction} in a…

An important problem in combinatorial noncommutative algebra is to characterize the growth functions of finitely generated algebras (equivalently, semigroups, or hereditary languages). The growth function of every finitely generated,…

Let $\cal R$ be either the Grothendieck semiring (semiring with multiplication) of complex algebraic varieties, or the Grothendieck ring of these varieties, or the Grothendieck ring localized by the class of the complex affine line. We…

The equation $f^n+g^n=1$, $n\in\mathbb{N}$ can be regarded as the Fermat Diophantine equation over the function field. In this paper we study the characterization of entire solutions of some system of Fermat type functional equations by…

Given a $G$-space $X$ and a non-trivial $G$-invariant ideal $I$ of subsets of $X$, we prove that for every partition $X=A_1\cup\dots\cup A_n$ of $X$ into $n\ge 2$ pieces there is a piece $A_i$ of the partition and a finite set $F\subset G$…

For a set $X\sbst\R$, let $B(X)\sbst\R^X$ denote the space of Borel real-valued functions on $X$, with the topology inherited from the Tychonoff product $\R^X$. Assume that for each countable $A\sbst B(X)$, each $f$ in the closure of $A$ is…

Let $X$ be a CAT(0) cubical complex. The growth series of $X$ at $x$ is $G_{x}(t)=\sum_{y \in Vert(X)} t^{d(x,y)}$, where $d(x,y)$ denotes $\ell_{1}$-distance between $x$ and $y$. If $X$ is cocompact, then $G_{x}$ is a rational function of…

Let S be an abelian semigroup, written additively. Let A be a finite subset of S. We denote the cardinality of A by |A|. For any positive integer h, the sumset hA is the set of all sums of h not necessarily distinct elements of A. We define…

Intersection growth concerns the asymptotic behavior of the index of the intersection of all subgroups of a group that have index at most n. In this note we show that the intersection growth of some groups may not be a nicely behaved…

In this paper we study counting functions representing the number of solutions of systems of linear inequalities which arise in the theory of Diophantine approximation. We develop a method that allows us to explain the random-like behavior…
