We prove estimates for the Gowers uniformity norms of functions over $\Zz/p\Zz$ which are trace functions of certain $\ell$-adic sheaves, and establish in particular a strong inverse theorem for these functions.

In this paper we introduce and study a certain type of sub semi-group of $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ which turns out to be closely related to \sz's theorem on arithmetic progressions.

In this note we announce the proof of the inverse conjecture for the Gowers U^{s+1}[N]-norm for all s => 3; this is new for s => 4, the cases s = 1,2,3 having been previously established. More precisely we outline a proof (details of which…

We prove new cases of reasonable bounds for the polynomial Szemer\'{e}di theorem both over $\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}$ with $N$ prime and over the integers. In particular, we prove reasonable bounds for Szemer\'edi's theorem in the integers…

A major theme in arithmetic combinatorics is proving multiple recurrence results on semigroups (such as Szemer\'edi's theorem) and this can often be done using methods of ergodic Ramsey theory. What usually lies at the heart of such proofs…

We study thresholds for extremal properties of random discrete structures. We determine the threshold for Szemer\'edi's theorem on arithmetic progressions in random subsets of the integers and its multidimensional extensions and we…

This is an exposition of the combinatorial proof of the density Hales--Jewett theorem, due to D.\,H.\,J. Polymath in 2012. The theorem says that for given $\de>0$ and $k$, for every $n>n_0$ every set $A\sus\{1,2,\ds,k\}^n$ with $|A|\ge\de…

We present some new sharp constructions for the Szemer\'{e}di-Trotter theorem. These constructions generalize previous work of Erd\H{o}s, Elekes, Sheffer and Silier, Guth and Silier, and the author. In the past, arguments showing the…

We prove a generalisation of Roth's theorem for arithmetic progressions to d-configurations, which are sets of the form {n_i+n_j+a}_{1 \leq i \leq j \leq d} where a, n_1,..., n_d are nonnegative integers, using Roth's original density…

Furstenberg-Weiss have extended Szemer\'edi's theorem on arithmetic progressions to trees by showing that a large subset of the tree contains arbitrarily long arithmetic subtrees. We study higher dimensional versions that analogously extend…

In this note, we consider Szemer\'{e}di's theorem on $k$-term arithmetic progressions over finite fields $\mathbb{F}_p^n$, where the allowed set $S$ of common differences in these progressions is chosen randomly of fixed size. Combining a…

We extend two well-known results in additive number theory, S\'ark\"ozy's theorem on square differences in dense sets and a theorem of Green on long arithmetic progressions in sumsets, to subsets of random sets of asymptotic density 0. Our…

For any integer $n \geq 2$, let $(m_{1},\ldots,m_{n})$ be a strictly increasing $n$-tuple of positive integers. We show that any subset $A\subset [N]^n$ of density at least $(\log N)^{-c}$ contains a nontrivial configuration of the form…

Szemeredi's regularity lemma is one instance in a family of regularity lemmas, replacing the definition of density of a graph by a more general coefficient. Recently, Fan Chung proved another instance, a regularity lemma for clustering…

Building upon the theory of graph limits and the Aldous-Hoover representation and inspired by Panchenko's work on asymptotic Gibbs measures (Annals of Probability 2013), we construct continuous embeddings of discrete probability…

We present a proof of Thue-Siegel-Roth's Theorem (and its more recent variants, such as those of Lang for number fields and that "with moving targets" of Vojta) as an application of Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT). Roth's Theorem is…

Green used an arithmetic analogue of Szemer\'edi's celebrated regularity lemma to prove the following strengthening of Roth's theorem in vector spaces. For every $\alpha>0$, $\beta<\alpha^3$, and prime number $p$, there is a least positive…

We prove that if $A$ is any set of prime numbers satisfying \[ \sum_{a\in A}\frac{1}{a}=\infty, \] then $A$ must contain a $3$-term arithmetic progression. This is accomplished by combining the transference principle with a density…
