We establish a strong form of Littlewood's conjecture with inhomogeneous shifts, for a full-dimensional set of pairs of badly approximable numbers on a vertical line. We also prove a uniform assertion of this nature, generalising a strong…

The Hardy-Littlewood majorant problem has a positive answer only for expo- nents p which are even integers, while there are counterexamples for all p =2 2N. Montgomery conjectured that there exist counterexamples even among idempotent…

In this short note we prove the result stated in the title; that is, for every $p>0$ there exists an infinite dimensional closed linear subspace of $L_{p}[0,1]$ every nonzero element of which does not belong to $\bigcup\limits_{q>p}…

We introduce the theory of local minimal models for Kan simplicial manifolds, which provide the appropriate generalization of minimal Kan simplicial sets to geometric contexts. We use this to obtain the first proof of Lie's third theorem…

Let $q\ne \pm1,v^2$ be a fixed integer, and let $x\geq 1$ be a large number. The least prime number $p \geq3 $ such that $q$ is a primitive root modulo $p$ is conjectured to be $p\ll (\log q)(\log \log q)^3),$ where $\gcd(p,q)=1$. This note…

This article contains a proof of the MDS conjecture for $k \leq 2p-2$. That is, that if $S$ is a set of vectors of ${\mathbb F}_q^k$ in which every subset of $S$ of size $k$ is a basis, where $q=p^h$, $p$ is prime and $q$ is not and $k \leq…

Motivated by their research on automorphism groups of pseudo-real Riemann surfaces, Bujalance, Cirre and Conder have conjectured that there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that $p+2$ has all its prime factors $q\equiv -1$ mod~$(4)$. We…

In this paper we give a short, elementary proof of the following too extreme cases of the Leopoldt conjecture: the case when $\K/\Q$ is a solvable extension and the case when it is a totally real extension in which $p$ splits completely.…

In this paper we show that the set of mixed type badly approximable simultaneously small linear forms is of maximal dimension. As a consequence of this theorem we settle a conjecture of the first author.

This work solves an open question in finite-state compressibility posed by Lutz and Mayordomo about compressibility of real numbers in different bases. Finite-state compressibility, or equivalently, finite-state dimension, quantifies the…

Let $A/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve with split multiplicative reduction at a prime $p$. We prove (an analogue of) a conjecture of Perrin-Riou, relating $p$-adic Beilinson$-$Kato elements to Heegner points in $A(\mathbb{Q})$, and a large…

Let $1<q<p<\infty$, $\frac1r:=\frac1q-\frac1p$, and $T$ be a non-degenerate Calder\'on--Zygmund operator. We show that the commutator $[b,T]$ is compact from $L^p({\mathbb R}^n)$ to $L^q({\mathbb R}^n)$ if and only if the symbol $b=a+c$…

We extend the original cylinder conjecture on point sets in affine three-dimensional space to the more general framework of divisible linear codes over $\mathbb{F}_q$ and their classification. Through a mix of linear programming,…

An extended formulation of a polytope P is a polytope Q which can be projected onto P. Extended formulations of small size (i.e., number of facets) are of interest, as they allow to model corresponding optimization problems as linear…

In this paper, we investigate the base-$p$ expansions of putative counterexamples to the $p$-adic Littlewood conjecture of de Mathan and Teuli\'e. We show that if a counterexample exists, then so does a counterexample whose base-$p$…

We disprove the sum-product conjecture for real numbers by constructing arbitrarily large $A\subset \mathbb{R}$ (whose elements are algebraic integers in a number field of degree $\asymp \log\lvert A\rvert$) such that \[\max(\lvert…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of $q$ elements with characteristic $p$. Let $\mathbb{Z}_q$ denote the unramified extension of the $p$-adic integers $\mathbb{Z}_p$ with residue field $\mathbb{F}_q$. In this paper, we investigate…

We present a non-standard proof of the fact that the existence of a local (i.e. restricted to a point) characteristic-zero, semi-parametric lifting for a variety defined by the zero locus of polynomial equations over the integers is…

For a non-zero algebraic number $\alpha$ of degree $d$, let $h(\alpha)$ denote its logarithmic Weil height. It is known that when $h(\alpha)$ is small, and $d$ is large, the conjugates of $\alpha$ are clustered near the unit circle and have…

We show the validity of the relative dlt MMP over Q-factorial threefolds in all characteristics p>0. As a corollary, we generalise many recent results to low characteristics including: $W\mathcal{O}$-rationality of klt singularities,…
