We give an elementary proof of a result which is not as well known as it should be: a ring with a specified finite number of zero divisors is finite, with a precise bound on its order.

We introduce the binary value principle which is a simple subset-sum instance expressing that a natural number written in binary cannot be negative, relating it to central problems in proof and algebraic complexity. We prove conditional…

Let $\mathfrak{o}$ be a compact discrete valuation ring and $n\geq 2$. We introduce a method to study the cotype zeta function of subalgebras of $\mathfrak{o}^n$. This multivariable series encodes the number of finite-index subalgebras…

This paper presents two algorithms on certain computations about Pisot numbers. Firstly, we develop an algorithm that finds a Pisot number $\alpha$ such that $\Q[\alpha] = \F$ given a real Galois extension $\F$ of $\Q$ by its integral…

We study Hilbert's fourteenth problem from a geometric point of view. Nagata's celebrated counterexample demonstrates that for an arbitrary group action on a variety the ring of invariant functions need not be isomorphic to the ring of…

Continuing previous study of the Beurling zeta function, here we prove two results, generalizing long existing knowledge regarding the classical case of the Riemann zeta function and some of its generalizations. First, we address the…

Let U be a numeration system, a set X of integers is U-star-free if the set made up of the U-representations of the elements in X is a star-free regular language. Answering a question of A. de Luca and A. Restivo, we obtain a complete…

In this paper, several refinements of the Berezin number inequalities are obtained. We generalize inequalities involving powers of the Berezin number for product of two operators acting on a reproducing kernel Hilbert space $\mathcal…

In the present note we study the interrelations between the sets of so-called typical numbers and numbers that are normal in base two. Employing results by Nakai and Shiokawa, we exhibit examples of numbers that belong to one set but do not…

In this paper we study the classical Schmidt game on two families of sets: one related to frequencies of digits in base-$2$ expansions, and one connected to the set of the badly approximable numbers. Namely, we describe some nontrivial…

An elementary approach for computing the values at negative integers of the Riemann zeta function is presented. The approach is based on a new method for ordering the integers and a new method for summation of divergent series. We show that…

Although the representation of the real numbers in terms of a base and a set of digits has a long history, new questions arise even in simple situations. This paper concerns binary radix systems, i.e., positional number systems with digits…

Let $R$ be a ring with identity and $\delta(R)$ denote the Zhou radical of $R$. A ring $R$ is called {\it $\delta$-reversible} if for any $a$, $b \in R$, $ab = 0$ implies $ba \in \delta(R)$. In this paper, we give some properties of…
