We study the problem of determining the minimum number $f(n,k,d)$ of affine subspaces of codimension $d$ that are required to cover all points of $\mathbb{F}_2^n\setminus \{\vec{0}\}$ at least $k$ times while covering the origin at most…

It is proved that for any $0<\beta<\alpha$, any bounded Ahlfors $\alpha$-regular space contains a $\beta$-regular compact subset that embeds biLipschitzly in an ultrametric with distortion at most $O(\alpha/(\alpha-\beta))$. The bound on…

For any i,j>0 with i+j =1, let Bad(i,j) denote the set of points (x,y) \in R^2 such that max \{ ||qx||^{1/i}, \, ||qy||^{1/j} \} > c/q for some positive constant c = c(x,y) and all q in N. We show that \Bad(i,j) \cap C is winning in the…

A new notion of thickness for subsets of $B[0,1]\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ called affine thickness is defined; this notion of thickness is a generalisation of Falconer-Yavicoli thickness and is adapted to be used in the study of certain sets…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a essentially small abelian category and $\mathcal{C}$ be a Serre subcategory of $\mathcal{A}$. Consider the quotient functor $q:\mathcal{A}\rightarrow \mathcal{A}/\mathcal{C}$. For an object $A\in \mathcal{A}$ and a…

We provide an infinite series of commutative finite-dimensional Gorenstein local algebras $A_n$ for $n \ge 2$. We give an elementary proof that the maximal ideal of every algebra $A_n$ possesses a one-dimensional subspace that is different…

We prove a no-dimensional Helly theorem for affine spaces and convex sets using the unboundedness framework of Aronov, Goodman, and Pollack (Computational Geometry, 2002). This generalizes the fundamental result of Adiprasito, B\'ar\'any,…

Roughly speaking, a near-best (abbr. NB) quasi-interpolant (abbr. QI) is an approximation operator of the form $Q_af=\sum_{\alpha\in A} \Lambda_\alpha (f) B_\alpha$ where the $B_\alpha$'s are B-splines and the $\Lambda_\alpha (f)$'s are…

In this paper, we establish hybrid results on Diophantine approximation with primes from short intervals. In particular, we prove the following result in a slightly modified form: If $\alpha$ is an irrational number having a continued…

It is well-known that a quiver Q of type A_n is representation-finite, and that its indecomposable representations are thin (all Jordan-Hoelder multiplicities are 0 or 1). By now, various methods of proof are known. The aim of this note is…

Given a geometrically irreducible subscheme X in P^n over F_q of dimension at least 2, we prove that the fraction of degree d hypersurfaces H such that the intersection of H and X is geometrically irreducible tends to 1 as d tends to…

We explore and refine techniques for estimating the Hausdorff dimension of exceptional sets and their diffeomorphic images. Specifically, we use a variant of Schmidt's game to deduce the strong C^1 incompressibility of the set of badly…

Let $d\geq 2$, $A \subset \mathbb{Z}^d$ be finite and not contained in a translate of any hyperplane, and $q \in \mathbb{Z}$ such that $|q| > 1$. We show $$|A+ q \cdot A| \geq (|q|+d+1)|A| - O_{q,d}(1).$$

Let G be a reductive algebraic group and let H be a reductive subgroup of G. We describe all pairs (G,H) such that for any affine G-variety X with a dense G-orbit isomorphic to G/H the number of G-orbits in X is finite. The maximal number…

We prove that an affine cone $X$ admits a surjective morphism from an affine space if and only if $X$ is unirational.

We generalize Khintchine's method of constructing totally irrational singular vectors and linear forms. The main result of the paper shows existence of totally irrational vectors and linear forms with large uniform Diophantine exponents on…

A pair $(A,\mathbf{b})$ of a real $m\times n$ matrix $A$ and $\mathbf{b}\in\mathbb{R}^m$ is said to be $\textit{infinitely badly approximable}$ if \[ \liminf_{\mathbf{q}\in\mathbb{Z}^n, \|\mathbf{q}\|\to\infty}…

For a finite vector space $V$ and a non-negative integer $r\le\dim V$ we estimate the smallest possible size of a subset of $V$, containing a translate of every $r$-dimensional subspace. In particular, we show that if $K\subset V$ is the…

We formulate a positivity conjecture relating the Verlinde ring associated with an untwisted affine Lie algebra at a positive integer level and a subcategory of finite-dimensional representations over the corresponding quantum affine…

We establish new estimates for the constant $J_a(k,\alpha)$ in the Brudnyi-Jackson inequality for approximation of $f \in C[-1,1]$ by algebraic polynomials: $$ E_{n}^a (f) \le J_a(k, \alpha) \ \omega_k (f, \alpha \pi /n ), \quad \alpha >0…
