We continue the investigation, that began in [3] and [4], into finite groups whose set of nontrivial conjugacy class sizes form an arithmetic progression. Let $G$ be a finite group and denote the set of conjugacy class sizes of $G$ by ${\rm…

Let $E\subset\rr$ be a closed set of Hausdorff dimension $\alpha$. We prove that if $\alpha$ is sufficiently close to 1, and if $E$ supports a probabilistic measure obeying appropriate dimensionality and Fourier decay conditions, then $E$…

Let G be a finite Abelian group and A be a subset G\times G of cardinality at least |G|^2/(log log |G|)^c, where c>0 is an absolute constant. We prove that A contains a triple {(k,m), (k+d,m), (k,m+d)}, where d does not equal 0. This…

Let $G$ be a multiplicative subgroup of the prime field $\mathbb F_p$ of size $|G|> p^{1-\kappa}$ and $r$ an arbitrarily fixed positive integer. Assuming $\kappa=\kappa(r)>0$ and $p$ large enough, it is shown that any proportional subset…

Given two sets $\cA, \cB \subseteq \F_q$ of elements of the finite field $\F_q$ of $q$ elements, we show that the productset $$ \cA\cB = \{ab | a \in \cA, b \in\cB\} $$ contains an arithmetic progression of length $k \ge 3$ provided that…

We consider, over both the integers and finite fields, Szemer\'{e}di's theorem on $k$-term arithmetic progressions where the set $S$ of allowed common differences in those progressions is restricted and random. Fleshing out a line of…

Motivated by problems on random differences in Szemer\'{e}di's theorem and on large deviations for arithmetic progressions in random sets, we prove upper bounds on the Gaussian width of point sets that are formed by the image of the…

We prove that if $f:X \rightarrow A$ is a morphism from a smooth projective variety $X$ to an abelian variety $A$ over a number field $K$, and $G$ is a subgroup of automorphisms of $X$ satisfying certain properties, and if a prime $p$…

This paper extends and applies algebraic invariants and constructions for mixing finite group extensions of shifts of finite type. For a finite abelian group G, Parry showed how to define a G-extension S_A from a square matrix A over Z_+G,…

Szemeredi's regularity lemma is an important tool in graph theory which has applications throughout combinatorics. In this paper we prove an analogue of Szemeredi's regularity lemma in the context of abelian groups and use it to derive some…

We prove a variant of the multidimensional polynomial Szemer\'edi theorem of Bergelson and Leibman where one replaces polynomial sequences with other sparse sequences defined by functions that belong to some Hardy field and satisfy certain…

This paper is the second part of the series "Spherical higher order Fourier analysis over finite fields", aiming to develop the higher order Fourier analysis method along spheres over finite fields, and to solve the geometric Ramsey…

Let ${\rm cs}(G)$ denote the set of conjugacy class sizes of a group $G$, and let ${\rm cs}^*(G)={\rm cs}(G)\setminus\{1\}$ be the sizes of non-central classes. We prove three results. We classify all finite groups $G$ with ${\rm…

In this paper we study group-based Markov models of evolution and their mixtures. In the algebreo-geometric setting, group-based phylogenetic tree models correspond to toric varieties, while their mixtures correspond to secant and join…

We show two results. First, a refinement of Freiman's theorem: if A is a finite set of integers and |A+A| < K|A|, then A is contained in a multidimensional progression of dimension at most O(K^{7/4} log^3K) and size at most exp(O(K^{7/4}…

Let $A_{\pi}(n,1)$ be the $(n,1)$-th Fourier coefficient of the Hecke-Maass cusp form $\pi$ for $\rm SL_3(\mathbb{Z})$ and $ \omega(x)$ be a smooth compactly supported function. In this paper, we prove a nontrivial upper bound for the sum…

This paper is mainly concerned with sets which do not contain four-term arithmetic progressions, but are still very rich in three term arithmetic progressions, in the sense that all sufficiently large subsets contain at least one such…

We collect evidence in support of a conjecture of Griffiths, Green and Kerr on the arithmetic of extension classes of limiting mixed Hodge structures arising from semistable degenerations over a number field. After briefly summarizing how a…

Grothendieck's theory of blended extensions (extensions panach\'ees) gives a natural framework to study 3-step filtrations in abelian categories. We give a generalization of this theory that is suitable for filtrations with an arbitrary…

We prove some conditions for the existence of higher dimensional algebraic fibering of group extensions. This leads to various corollaries on incoherence of groups and some geometric examples of algebraic fibers of type $F_n$ but not…
