We prove a removal lemma for systems of linear equations over finite fields: let $X_1,...,X_m$ be subsets of the finite field $\F_q$ and let $A$ be a $(k\times m)$ matrix with coefficients in $\F_q$ and rank $k$; if the linear system $Ax=b$…

We present a general framework to represent discrete configuration systems using hypergraphs. This representation allows one to transfer combinatorial removal lemmas to their analogues for configuration systems. These removal lemmas claim…

Green [Geometric and Functional Analysis 15 (2005), 340--376] established a version of the Szemer\'edi Regularity Lemma for abelian groups and derived the Removal Lemma for abelian groups as its corollary. We provide another proof of his…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group with exponent $n$, and let $r$ be a positive integer. Let $A$ be a $k\times m$ matrix with integer entries. We show that if $A$ satisfies some natural conditions and $|G|$ is large enough then, for each…

We give a new proof of quantifier elimination in the theory of all ordered abelian groups in a suitable language. More precisely, this is only "quantifier elimination relative to ordered sets" in the following sense. Each definable set in…

We obtain a removal lemma for systems of linear equations over the circle group, using a similar result for finite fields due to Kr\'al, Serra and Vena, and we discuss some applications.

Let $G$ be an abelian group of bounded exponent and $A \subseteq G$. We show that if the collection of translates of $A$ has VC dimension at most $d$, then for every $\epsilon>0$ there is a subgroup $H$ of $G$ of index at most…

A system of \ell linear equations in p unknowns Mx=b is said to have the removal property if every set S \subseteq {1,...,n} which contains o(n^{p-\ell}) solutions of Mx=b can be turned into a set S' containing no solution of Mx=b, by the…

Let $A$ be the product of an abelian variety and a torus over a number field $K$, and let $m$ be a positive integer. If $\alpha \in A(K)$ is a point of infinite order, we consider the set of primes $\mathfrak p$ of $K$ such that the…

Integral linear systems $Ax=b$ with matrices $A$, $b$ and solutions $x$ are also required to be in integers, can be solved using invariant factors of $A$ (by computing the Smith Canonical Form of $A$). This paper explores a new problem…

We prove an arithmetic removal result for all compact abelian groups, generalizing a finitary removal result of Kr\'al', Serra and the third author. To this end, we consider infinite measurable hypergraphs that are invariant under certain…

Let $K$ be a field, and $A=K[a_1,\ldots ,a_n]$ a finitely generated $K$-algebra with the PBW $K$-basis ${\cal B}=\{a_{1}^{\alpha_1}\cdots a_{n}^{\alpha_n}~|~(\alpha_1,\ldots ,\alpha_n)\in\mathbb{N}^n\}$. It is shown that if $L$ is a nonzero…

Let m be a positive integer and A an elementary abelian group of order q^r with r greater than or equal to 2 acting on a finite q'-group G. We show that if for some integer d such that 2^{d} is less than or equal to (r-1) the dth derived…

Let $K$ be a field, and $A=K[a_1,\ldots ,a_n]$ a solvable polynomial algebra in the sense of [K-RW, {\it J. Symbolic Comput.}, 9(1990), 1--26]. Based on the Gr\"obner basis theory for $A$ and for free modules over $A$, an elimination theory…

In this note we observe that in the hyper-graph removal lemma the edge removal can be done in a way that the symmetries of the original hyper-graph remain preserved. As an application we prove the following generalization of Szemer\'edi's…

Let K be a field of characteristic 0 and let n be a natural number. Let Gamma be a subgroup of the multiplicative group $(K^\ast)^n$ of finite rank r. Given $A_2,...,a_n\in K^\ast$ write $A(a_1,...,a_n,\Gamma)$ for the number of solutions…

We unify Linear Algebra by proposing a definition of determinants via one equation that implies all known properties of them:\\ 1. Cramer's Rule,\\ 2. Cofactor expansion,\\ 3. Antisymmetry of determinants,\\ 4. Linearity of determinants,\\…

For each $k\geq 3$, Green proved an arithmetic $k$-cycle removal lemma for any abelian group $G$. The best known bounds relating the parameters in the lemma for general $G$ are of tower-type. For $k>3$, even in the case $G=\mathbb{F}_2^n$…

Let $f_{1}, \ldots, f_{k}$ be polynomials defining an algebraic set in affine $n$-space over a finite field. Suppose $k>n$. We prove that there exists a system of polynomials $g_{1}, \ldots, g_{n}$, each being a linear combination with…

In this paper we consider a linear homogeneous system of $m$ equations in $n$ unknowns with integer coefficients over the reals. Assume that the sum of the absolute values of the coefficients of each equation does not exceed $k+1$ for some…
