Asymptotic forms of the Hilbert-Scmidt and Hilbert norms of positive definite Toeplitz matrices $Q_{N}=(b(j-k))_{j,k=0}^{N-1}$ as $N\to \infty $ are determined. Here $b(j)$ are consequent trigonometric moments of a generating non-negative…

The set of real numbers which are badly approximable by rationals admits an exhaustion by sets Bad($\epsilon$), whose dimension converges to 1 as $\epsilon$ goes to zero. D. Hensley computed the asymptotic for the dimension up to the first…

This article critically reappraises arguments in support of Cantor's theory of transfinite numbers. The following results are reported: i) Cantor's proofs of nondenumerability are refuted by analyzing the logical inconsistencies in…

The Jarn\'ik-Besicovitch theorem is a fundamental result in metric number theory which concerns the Hausdorff dimension for certain limsup sets. We discuss the analogous problem for liminf sets. Consider an infinite sequence of positive…

In the context of large cardinals, the classical diamond principle Diamond_kappa is easily strengthened in natural ways. When kappa is a measurable cardinal, for example, one might ask that a Diamond_kappa sequence anticipate every subset…

Let $\mu\geq 2$ be a real number and let $\Mcal(\mu)$ denote the set of real numbers approximable at order at least $\mu$ by rational numbers. More than eighty years ago, Jarn\'i k and, independently, Besicovitch established that the…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group with a finite generating set $S$. For $g\in G$, let $l_S(g)$ be the length of the shortest word over $S$ representing $g$. The growth series of $G$ with respect to $S$ is the series $A(t) =…

Given a vector function ${\bf F}=(F_1,\ldots,F_d),$ analytic on a neighborhood of some compact subset $E$ of the complex plane with simply connected complement, we define a sequence of vector rational functions with common denominator in…

Recent results of A. Lerner concerning certain properties of the Fefferman-Stein maximal function are applied to show that $(\BMO, X)_\theta = X^\theta$, $0 < \theta < 1$, for a Banach lattice $X$ of measurable functions on $\mathbb R^n$…

We study rational functions admitting a continuous extension to the real affine space. First of all, we focus on the regularity of such functions exhibiting some nice properties of their partial derivatives. Afterwards, since these…

A set $X\subseteq\mathbb N$ is S-recognizable for an abstract numeration system S if the set $\rep_S(X)$ of its representations is accepted by a finite automaton. We show that the growth function of an S-recognizable set is always either…

We obtain a complete characterization of the norm attainment set of a bounded linear functional on a normed space, in terms of a semi-inner-product defined on the space. Motivated by this result, we further apply the concept of…

Let $\xi_1,\xi_2,...$ be independent identically distributed random variables and $F:\bbR^\ell\to SL_d(\bbR)$ be a Borel measurable matrix-valued function. Set $X_n=F(\xi_{q_1(n)},\xi_{q_2(n)},...,\xi_{q_\ell(n)})$ where $0\leq…

For any $d\in \mathbb{N}$ and any function $f:(0,\infty)\to [0,1]$ with $f(R)\to 0$ as $R\to \infty$, we construct a set $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ and a sequence $R_n \to \infty$ such that $\|x-y\| \neq R_n$ for all $x,y\in A$ and…

Given a continuous self-map $f$ on some compact metrisable space $X$, it is natural to ask for the visiting frequencies of points $x\in X$ to sufficiently ``nice'' sets $C\subseteq X$ under iteration of $f$. For example, if $f$ is an…

We generalize the tensor product theory for modules for a vertex operator algebra previously developed in a series of papers by the first two authors to suitable module categories for a ``conformal vertex algebra'' or even more generally,…

This paper is concerned with asymptotic behavior of a variety of functionals of increments of continuous semimartingales. Sampling times are assumed to follow a rather general discretization scheme. If an underlying semimartingale is…

For, $0<\lambda<1$, consider the transformation $T(x) = d x $ (mod 1) on the circle $S^1$, a $C^1$ function $A:S^1 \to \mathbb{R}$, and, the map $F(x,s) = ( T(x) , \lambda \, s + A(x))$, $(x,s)\in S^1 \times \mathbb{R}$. We denote…

Erd\H{o}s proved that any real number can be written as a sum, and a product, of two Liouville numbers. Motivated by these results, we study sumsets of classes of real numbers with prescribed (or bounded) irrationality exponents. We show…
