Inspired by the Erd\"os-Turan conjecture we consider subsets of the natural numbers that contains infinitely many aritmetic progressions (APs) of any given length - such sets will be called AP-sets and we know due to the Green-Tao Theorem…

We study subsets of $\mathbb{F}_p^n$ that do not contain progressions of length $k$. We denote by $r_k(\mathbb{F}_p^n)$ the cardinality of such subsets containing a maximal number of elements. In this paper we focus on the case $k=p$ and…

Let $p$ be a prime, $\varepsilon>0$ and $0<L+1<L+N < p$. We prove that if $p^{1/2+\varepsilon}< N <p^{1-\varepsilon}$, then $$ \#\{n!\!\!\! \pmod p;\,\, L+1\le n\le L+N\} > c (N\log N)^{1/2},\,\, c=c(\varepsilon)>0. $$ We use this bound to…

We show that for every $0 < \epsilon \leq 1$ and integer $k\geq 1$, there exists an integer $n = n(\epsilon,k)$ so that for all primes $p$, and integers $0 \leq a \leq p-1$, there exist integers $1 \leq x_1 < ... < x_n \leq p^\epsilon$ such…

The Mertens' first theorem gives us the following asymptotic formula \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{p\leq x\\ p~prime}}\frac{lnp}{p}=lnx+O(1), \end{equation*} and the Mertens' second theorem indicates that there exists a constant…

Suppose that $A \subset \{1,\dots, N\}$ has no two elements differing by $p-1$, $p$ prime. Then $|A| \ll N^{1 - c}$.

Let $(\lambda_n)_{n \geq 1}$ be a non-negative sequence with $\lambda_1>0$ and let $\Lambda_n=\sum^n_{i=1}\lambda_i$. We study the following Copson inequality for $0<p<1$, $L>p$, \begin{align*} \sum^{\infty}_{n=1}\left (\frac 1{\Lambda_n}…

The behaviour of Hecke polynomials modulo p has been the subject of some study. In this note we show that, if p is a prime, the set of integers N such that the Hecke polynomials T^{N,\chi}_{l,k} for all primes l, all weights k>1 and all…

Consider a strongly $b$-multiplicative sequence and a prime $p$. Studying its $p$-rarefaction consists in characterizing the asymptotic behaviour of the sums of the first terms indexed by the multiples of $p$. The integer values of the…

Let $t:\mathbb{F}_{p}\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$ be a complex valued function on $\mathbb{F}_{p}$. A classical problem in analytic number theory is to bound the maximum of the absolute value of the incomplete sum \[ M(t):=\max_{0\leq…

We show that if the difference of two elements of a set $A \subseteq [N]$ is never one less than a prime number, then $|A| = O (N \exp (-c (\log N)^{1/3}))$ for some absolute constant $c>0$.

We study the nonlinear one-dimensional $p$-Laplacian equation $$ -(y'^{(p-1)})'+(p-1)q(x)y^{(p-1)}=(p-1)w(x)f(y) on (0,1),$$ with linear separated boundary conditions. We give sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions with…

Let $p$ be any odd prime number. Let $k$ be any positive integer such that $2\leq k\leq [\frac{p+1}3]+1$. Let $S = (a_1,a_2,...,a_{2p-k})$ be any sequence in ${\Bbb Z}_p$ such that there is no subsequence of length $p$ of $S$ whose sum is…

We obtain an asymptotic formula on the Odlyzko-Stanley enumeration problem. Let $N_m^*(k,b)$ be the number of $k$-subsets $S\subseteq F_p^*$ such that $\sum_{x\in S}x^m=b$. If $m<p^{1-\delta}$, then there is a constant…

We construct a Schauder basis for $L_1$ consisting of non-negative functions and investigate unconditionally basic and quasibasic sequences of non-negative functions in $L_p$, $1\le p < \infty$.

Let G=SL_n. Let K=Z/pZ, p a prime. Let A\subset G(K) generate G(K). Suppose that |A|<p^{n+1-\delta}, delta>0. Then |A A A|>>|A|^{1+\epsilon}, where epsilon>0 and the implied constant depend only on n and delta.

We characterize zero sets for which every subset remains a zero set too in the Fock space $\mathcal{F}^p$, $1\leq p<\infty$. We are also interested in the study of a stability problem for some examples of uniqueness set with zero excess in…

For $1<p<\infty$, we consider the following problem $$ -\Delta_p u=f(u),\quad u>0\text{ in }\Omega,\quad\partial_\nu u=0\text{ on }\partial\Omega, $$ where $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^N$ is either a ball or an annulus. The nonlinearity $f$ is…

Let p be an odd prime, and consider the map H_p which sends an integer x to either x/2 or (px+1)/2 depending on whether x is even or odd. The values at x=0 of arbitrary composition sequences of the maps x/2 and (px+1)/2 can be parameterized…

Let $p$ be a prime integer and $\mathbb{Z}_p$ be the ring of $p$-adic integers. By a purely computational approach we prove that each nonzero normal element of a completed group algebra over the special linear group ${\rm…
