An inverse semigroup $S$ is a Howson inverse semigroup if the intersection of finitely generated inverse subsemigroups of $S$ is finitely generated. Given a locally finite action $\theta$ of a group $G$ on a semilattice $E$, it is proved…

We define a Howe-Moore property relative to a set of subgroups. Namely, a group $G$ has the Howe-Moore property relative to a set $\mathcal{F}$ of subgroups if for every unitary representation $\pi$ of $G$, whenever the restriction of $\pi$…

It is shown that if $G$ is an uncountable Polish group and $A\subseteq G$ is a universally measurable set such that $A^{-1}A$ is meager, then the set $T_l(A)=\{\mu\in P(G): \mu(gA)=0 \text{for all} g\in G\}$ is co-meager. In particular, if…

It is known that the tensor product of two sequences, in the tensor product of two separable Hilbert spaces, is a frame if and only if each component of that product is a frame. This paper proposes a sort of generalization of the…

The basic theme of this paper is the fact that if $A$ is a finite set of integers, then the sum and product sets cannot both be small. A precise formulation of this fact is Conjecture 1 below due to Erd\H os-Szemer\'edi [E-S]. (see also…

We define the scattered subsets of a group as asymptotic counterparts of scattered subspaces of a topological space, and prove that a subset $A$ of a group $G$ is scattered if and only if $A$ contains no piecewise shifted $IP$-subsets. For…

Let $A,B$ be nonempty subsets of a an abelian group $G$. Let $N_i(A,B)$ denote the set of elements of $G$ having $i$ distinct decompositions as a product of an element of $A$ and an element of $B$. We prove that $$ \sum _{1\le i \le t} |N_i…

Given a subset $W$ of an abelian group $G$, a subset $C$ is called an additive complement for $W$ if $W+C=G$; if, moreover, no proper subset of $C$ has this property, then we say that $C$ is a minimal complement for $W$. It is natural to…

Suppose $M$ is a countable ab-initio (uncollapsed) generic structure which is obtained from a pre-dimension function with rational coefficients. We show that if $H$ is a subgroup of $\mbox{Aut}\left(M\right)$ with…

For a sequence $S$ of terms from an abelian group $G$ of length $|S|$, let $\Sigma_n(S)$ denote the set of all elements that can be represented as the sum of terms in some $n$-term subsequence of $S$. When the subsum set is very small,…

Let $a$ be a non-invertible transformation of a finite set and let $G$ be a group of permutations on that same set. Then $\genset{G, a}\setminus G$ is a subsemigroup, consisting of all non-invertible transformations, in the semigroup…

A group G is called subgroup conjugacy separable (abbreviated as SCS), if any two finitely generated and non-conjugate subgroups of G remain non-conjugate in some finite quotient of G. We prove that the free groups and the fundamental…

A discrete subset $S$ of a topologically gyrogroup $G$ is called a {\it suitable set} for $G$ if $S\cup \{1\}$ is closed and the subgyrogroup generated by $S$ is dense in $G$, where $1$ is the identity element of $G$. In this paper, we…

We show that every product of f.g.\ submonoids of a group $G$ is a section of a f.g.\ submonoid of $G{\times}H_5(\mathbb{Z})$, where $H_5(\mathbb{Z})$ is a Heisenberg group. This gives us a converse of a reduction of Bodart, and a new…

Suppose that $A$ is a finite, nonempty subset of a cyclic group of either infinite or prime order. We show that if the difference set $A-A$ is ``not too large'', then there is a nonzero group element with at least as many as…

Three non-empty subsets $S,T,U$ of a group $G$ are said to satisfy the triple product property (TPP) if, for elements $s,s' \in S$, and $t,t' \in T$, and $u,u' \in U$, the equation $s's^{-1}t't^{-1}u'u^{-1}=1$ holds if and only if $s = s'$,…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a normal subgroup. Starting from $G$-spin models, in which a non-Abelian field ${\mathcal{F}}_H$ w.r.t. $H$ carries an action of the Hopf $C^*$-algebra $D(H;G)$, a subalgebra of the quantum double $D(G)$,…

Recall that a subset $X$ of a group $G$ is 'product-free' if $X^2\cap X=\varnothing$, ie if $xy\notin X$ for all $x,y\in X$. Let $G$ be a group definable in a distal structure. We prove there are constants $c>0$ and $\delta\in(0,1)$ such…

Let $T(X)$ (resp. L(V)) be the semigroup of all transformations (resp. linear transformations) of a set $X$ (resp. vector space $V$). For a subset $Y$ of $X$ and a subsemigroup $\mathbb{S}(Y)$ of $T(Y)$, consider the subsemigroup…

Suppose $G$ is a finite abelian group and $S$ is a sequence of elements in $G$. For any element $g$ of $G$, let $N_g(S)$ denote the number of subsequences of $S$ with sum $g$. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the lower bound for…
