Let ${\mathbf{F}}_q$ be the finite field with $q=p^m$ elements and $G$ be a subgroup of ${\rm{GL}}_n({\mathbf{F}}_q)$. A famous theorem of Nori published in 1987 states that there exists a (non-effective) constant $c(n)$, depending only on…
Let $S\neq\mathbb N$ be a numerical semigroup with Frobenius number $f$, genus $g$ and embedding dimension $e$. In 1978 Wilf asked the question, whether $\frac{f+1-g}{f+1}\geq\frac1e$. As is well known, this holds in the cases $e=2$ and…
In this paper, we continue to discuss normality based on a single\linebreak holomorphic function. We obtain the following result. Let $\CF$ be a family of functions holomorphic on a domain $D\subset\mathbb C$. Let $k\ge2$ be an integer and…
In 1949 Wall showed that $x = 0.d_1d_2d_3 \dots$ is normal if and only if $(0.d_nd_{n+1}d_{n+2} \dots)_n$ is a uniformly distributed sequence. In this article, we consider sequences which are slight variants on this. In particular, we show…
Let $g \geq 2$. A real number is said to be g-normal if its base g expansion contains every finite sequence of digits with the expected limiting frequency. Let \phi denote Euler's totient function, let \sigma be the sum-of-divisors…
The Shapley-Folkman theorem shows that Minkowski averages of uniformly bounded sets tend to be convex when the number of terms in the sum becomes much larger than the ambient dimension. In optimization, Aubin and Ekeland [1976] show that…
We prove that the family $\mathcal{F}_C(D)$ of all meromorphic functions $f$ on a domain $D\subseteq \mathbb{C}$ with the property that the spherical area of the image domain $f(D)$ is uniformly bounded by $C \pi$ is quasi--normal of order…
We will show that if $\sM$ is a factor, then for any pair $\f, \p\in\sMdsup$ of normal positive linear functionals on $\sM$, the inequality: $$ \lrnorm{\f}\leq \lrnorm{\p} $$ is equivalent to the fact that there exist a countable family…
We study pairs of graphs (H_1,H_2) such that every graph with the densities of H_1 and H_2 close to the densities of H_1 and H_2 in a random graph is quasirandom; such pairs (H_1,H_2) are called forcing. Non-bipartite forcing pairs were…
We prove the following uniform version of a theorem by Lindstr\"om: Let $\mbox{$\cal F$}:=\{F_i:~ i\in I\}$ be a $k$-uniform set family of $[n]$, where $k\geq 1$. If $|\mbox{$\cal F$}|\geq n+1$, then there exist two disjoint subsets $I_1$…
In this article we prove some normality criteria for a family of meromorphic functions which involves sharing of a non-zero value by certain differential monomials generated by the members of the family. These results generalizes some of…
Let $\mathcal{F}\subset\mathcal{M}(D)$ and let $a, b$ and $c$ be three distinct complex numbers. If, there exist a holomorphic function $h$ on $D$ and a positive constant $\rho$ such that for each $f\in\mathcal{F},$ $f$ and $f^{'}$…
If there is a topologically locally constant family of smooth algebraic varieties together with an admissible normal function on the total space, then the latter is constant on any fiber if this holds on some fiber. Combined with spreading…
Let $F_Q$ be the Farey sequence of order $Q$ and let $F_{Q,o}$ and $F_{Q,e}$ be the set of those Farey fractions of order $Q$ with odd, respectively even denominators. A fundamental property of $F_Q$ says that the sum of denominators of any…
Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. We show that as $X \rightarrow \infty$, $$ \int_{X}^{2X} \sup_{\alpha} \left | \sum_{x < n \leq x + H} \lambda(n) e(-\alpha n) \right | dx = o ( X H) $$ for all $H \geq X^{\theta}$ with $\theta >…
We analyse the class of convex functionals $\mathcal E$ over $\mathrm{L}^2(X,m)$ for a measure space $(X,m)$ introduced by Cipriani and Grillo and generalising the classic bilinear Dirichlet forms. We investigate whether such non-bilinear…
Beardon and Minda gave a characterization of normal families of holomorphic and meromorphic functions in terms of a locally uniform Lipschitz condition. Here, we generalize this viewpoint to families of mappings in higher dimensions that…
We show that two notions of continued fraction normality, one where overlapping occurrences of finite patterns are counted as distinct occurrences, and another where only disjoint occurrences are counted as distinct, are identical. This…
The fundamental theorem in the theory of the uniform convergence of sine series is due to Chaundy and Jolliffe from 1916 (see [1]). Several authors gave conditions for this problem supposing that coefficients are monotone, non-negative or…
Let $X $ be a square integrable random variable with basic probability space $(\O, \A, \P)$, taking values in a lattice $\mathcal L(v_0,1)=\big\{v_k=v_0+ k,k\in \Z\big\}$ and such that $\t_X =\sum_{k\in \Z}\P\{X=v_k\}\wedge…
