Let $D\in\mathbb{N}$, let $A>D+1$, and let $Q\geqslant3$. Consider the class of multiplicative functions $f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{C}$ such that $|\sum_{n\leqslant x}f(n)|\le x(\log Q)^{A-D-1}/(\log x)^A$ for all $x\geqslant Q$, and such that…

Query-to-communication lifting theorems, which connect the query complexity of a Boolean function to the communication complexity of an associated `lifted' function obtained by composing the function with many copies of another function…

For $g\in \mathbb{N}$, let $G=\Sp(2g,\mathbb{Z})$ be the integral symplectic group and $S(g)$ be the set of all positive integers which can occur as the order of an element in $G$. In this paper, we show that $S(g)$ is a bounded subset of…

We completely characterize point--line configurations with $\Theta(n^{4/3})$ incidences when the point set is a section of the integer lattice. This can be seen as the main special case of the structural Szemer\'edi-Trotter problem. We also…

Dallard, Milani\v{c}, and \v{S}torgel conjectured that for a hereditary graph class $\mathcal{G}$, if there is some function $f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}$ such that every graph $G\in \mathcal{G}$ with clique number $\omega(G)$ has treewidth…

Let $G$ be an infinite group and let $X$ be a finite generating set for $G$ such that the growth series of $G$ with respect to $X$ is a rational function; in this case $G$ is said to have rational growth with respect to $X$. In this paper a…

We propose a new approach to the study of (nonlinear) growth and instability for semilinear evolution equations with compact nonlinearities. We show, in particular, that compact nonlinear perturbations of a linear evolution equation can be…

A complex hypersurface D in complex affine n-space C^n is a linear free divisor (LFD) if its module of logarithmic vector fields has a global basis of linear vector fields. We classify all LFDs for n at most 4. Analogous to Grothendieck's…

The level-$k$ $\ell_1$-Fourier weight of a Boolean function refers to the sum of absolute values of its level-$k$ Fourier coefficients. Fourier growth refers to the growth of these weights as $k$ grows. It has been extensively studied for…

The inverse problem for representation functions takes as input a triple (X,f,L), where X is a countable semigroup, f : X --> N_0 \cup {\infty} a function, L : a_1 x_1 + ... + a_h x_h an X-linear form and asks for a subset A \subseteq X…

Furstenberg and Glasner proved that for an arbitrary k in N, any piecewise syndetic set contains k term arithmetic progressions and such collection is also piecewise syndetic in Z: They used algebraic structure of beta N. The above result…

A planar node set $\mathcal X,$ with $\#\mathcal X=\binom{n+2}{2},$ is called $GC_n$ set if each node possesses fundamental polynomial in form of a product of $n$ linear factors. We say that a node uses a line if the line is a factor of the…

For K \subseteq C, let B_n(K)={(x_1,...,x_n) \in K^n: for each y_1,...,y_n \in K the conjunction (\forall i \in {1,...,n} (x_i=1 => y_i=1)) AND (\forall i,j,k \in {1,...,n} (x_i+x_j=x_k => y_i+y_j=y_k)) AND (\forall i,j,k \in {1,...,n}…

The exponential generating functions of {n^(n+m)} for arbitrary integer m are expressed as rational functions of the e.g.f. of {n^(n-1)} [the tree function] and then of the e.g.f. of {n^n} [the endofunction function]. The coefficients in…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a finite set of $d\times d$ matrices with integer entries and let $m_n(\mathcal{A})$ be the maximum norm of a product of $n$ elements of $\mathcal{A}$. In this paper, we classify gaps in the growth of…

We give improved bounds for our theorem in [GW09], which shows that a system of linear forms on $\mathbb{F}_p^n$ with squares that are linearly independent has the expected number of solutions in any linearly uniform subset of…

The divisor theory of graphs views a finite connected graph $G$ as a discrete version of a Riemann surface. Divisors on $G$ are formal integral combinations of the vertices of $G$, and linear equivalence of divisors is determined by the…

We give sharp bounds in Breuillard, Green and Tao's finitary version of Gromov's theorem on groups with polynomial growth. Precisely, we show that for every non-negative integer d there exists $c=c(d)>0$ such that if $G$ is a group with…

Fix an integer $h \geq 2$, and let $b_1, \ldots, b_h$ be (not necessarily distinct) positive integers with $\gcd(b_1, \ldots, b_h) = 1$. For any subset $A \subseteq \mathbb{N}$, let $r_A(n)$ denote the number of solutions $(k_1, \ldots,…
