Given any dimension function $h$, we construct a perfect set $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ of zero $h$-Hausdorff measure, that contains any finite polynomial pattern. This is achieved as a special case of a more general construction in which we…

The Nullstellensatz, proved by Hilbert in 1893, is a classical result that holds when the base field is algebraically closed. When the base field is finite, a version of Hilbert's Nullstellensatz is given by Terjanian in 1966. Laksov in…

We develop three approaches of combinatorial flavour to study the structure of minimal codes and cutting blocking sets in finite geometry, each of which has a particular application. The first approach uses techniques from algebraic…

Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, $B(H)$ the $C^*$-algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H,$ $U(B(H))$ the unitary group of $B(H)$ and ${\cal K}\subset B(H)$ the ideal of compact operators. Let $G$ be a…

A key property of an algebraic variety is whether it is absolutely irreducible, meaning that it remains irreducible over the algebraic closure of its defining field, and determining absolute irreducibility is important in algebraic geometry…

Goldstern showed in his 1993 paper that the union of a real-parametrized, monotone family of Lebesgue measure zero sets has also Lebesgue measure zero provided that the sets are uniformly $\boldsymbol{\Sigma}^1_1$. Our aim is to study to…

We recast the Foelner condition in an operator algebraic setting and prove that it implies a certain dimension flatness property. Furthermore, it is proven that the Foelner condition generalizes the existing notions of amenability and that…

We show that $\mathfrak{aff}(n)$, the Lie algebra of affine transformations of ${\mathbb R}^n,$ is formally and analytically nondegenerate in the sense of A. Weinstein. This means that every analytic (resp., formal) Poisson structure…

In previous work of the authors and their collaborators (see Progress in Math, vol. 114, Birk\"auser, 1993) it was shown how the equivalence of several constructions of residue currents associated to complete intersection families of (germs…

Using the Rabinowitsch trick, we prove a version of Nullstellensatz over quaternions, which generalizes Hilbert's Nullstellensatz over complex numbers.

The nonvanishing problem asks if a coefficient of a polynomial is nonzero. Many families of polynomials in algebraic combinatorics admit combinatorial counting rules and simultaneously enjoy having saturated Newton polytopes (SNP). Thereby,…

The existence of ideal objects, such as maximal ideals in nonzero rings, plays a crucial role in commutative algebra. These are typically justified using Zorn's lemma, and thus pose a challenge from a computational point of view. Giving a…

Many hard combinatorial problems can be modeled by a system of polynomial equations. N. Alon coined the term polynomial method to describe the use of nonlinear polynomials when solving combinatorial problems. We continue the exploration of…

The goal of this paper is to study Goldbach's conjecture for rings of regular functions of affine algebraic varieties over a field. Among our main results, we define the notion of Goldbach condition for Newton polytopes, and we prove in a…

We provide sufficient conditions for a set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ to be a non-universal differentiability set, i.e. to be contained in the set of points of non-differentiability of a real-valued Lipschitz function. These conditions are…

We prove a Positivstellensatz for operator-valued noncommutative polynomials that are positive on matrix convex sets. Specifically, let $p$ be an operator-valued polynomial in $B(H)\otimes C<x>$ of degree at most $2d+1$, where $H$ is…

We present a fixed point theorem for a class of (potentially) non-monotonic functions over specially structured complete lattices. The theorem has as a special case the Knaster-Tarski fixed point theorem when restricted to the case of…

Let X be a Noetherian space, let f be a continuous self-map on X, let Y be a closed subset of X, and let x be a point on X. We show that the set S consisting of all nonnegative integers n such that f^n(x) is in Y is a union of at most…

We extend to several variables an earlier result of ours, according to which an entire function of one variable of sufficiently small exponential type, having all derivatives of even order taking integer values at two points, is a…

In this paper we study identities and images of polynomials on null-filiform Leibniz algebras. If $L_n$ is an $n$-dimensional null-filiform Leibniz algebra, we exhibit a finite minimal basis for $\mbox{Id}(L_n)$, the polynomial identities…
