Gilmer has recently shown that in any nonempty union-closed family $\mathcal F$ of subsets of a finite set, there exists an element contained in at least a proportion $.01$ of the sets of $\mathcal F$. We improve the proportion from $.01$…

In recent work, we showed that for all $q\in\tfrac{1}{2}\mathbb{Z}\setminus\mathbb{Z}_{\leq0}$ the sequence $\left\{\Gamma^{\left(n\right)}\left(q\right)\right\} _{n\geq1}$ contains transcendental elements infinitely often, with the density…

Generalizing a result of Pourchet, we prove that, if $\alpha,\beta$ are power sums satisfying suitable conditions, the length of the continued fraction of the ratio $\alpha(n)/\beta(n)$ tends to infinity with $n$.

Let $x=[a_1(x),a_2(x),\ldots]$ be the continued fraction expansion of $x\in[0,1)$. We prove that the Hausdorff dimension of \begin{equation*}E_{even}=\{x\in[0,1)\colon a_{2n}(x)\to\infty\ (n\to\infty)\}.\end{equation*} is 1/2. In general,…

Given a dense additive subgroup $G$ of $\mathbb R$ containing $\mathbb Z$, we consider its intersection $\mathbb G$ with the interval $[0,1[$ with the induced order and the group structure given by addition modulo $1$. We axiomatize the…

A landmark theorem in the metric theory of continued fractions begins this way: Select a non-negative real function $f$ defined on the positive integers and a real number $x$, and form the partial sums $s_n$ of $f$ evaluated at the partial…

We prove that for any prime $p$ there is a divisible by $p$ number $q = O(p^{30})$ such that for a certain positive integer $a$ coprime with $q$ the ratio $a/q$ has bounded partial quotients. In the other direction we show that there is an…

Reed conjectured that for every $\varepsilon>0$ and every integer $\Delta$, there exists $g$ such that the fractional total chromatic number of every graph with maximum degree $\Delta$ and girth at least $g$ is at most…

In recent work with Raum the authors considered congruences for the ordinary partition function $p(n)$ of the form $p(\ell Q^r n+\beta)\equiv 0\pmod\ell$ where $\ell, Q\geq 5$ are prime and $r\in \{1,2\}$, and proved a number of results…

It was shown by V. Bergelson that any set B with positive upper multiplicative density contains nicely intertwined arithmetic and geometric progressions: For each positive integer k there exist integers a,b,d such that $ {b(a+id)^j:i,j…

We prove an explicit formula for infinitely many convergents of Hurwitzian continued fractions that repeat several copies of the same constant and elements of one arithmetic progression, in a quasi-periodic fashion. The proof involves…

We prove new formulas and congruences for $p(n,k):=$ the number of partitions of $n$ into $k$ parts and $q(n,k):=$ the number of partitions of $n$ into $k$ distinct parts. Also, we give lower and upper bounds for the density of the set…

We establish an equidistribution result for push-forwards of certain locally finite algebraic measures in the adelic extension of the space of lattices in the plane. As an application of our analysis we obtain new results regarding the…

Let $M$ be a positive integer and $p(n)$ be the number of partitions of a positive integer $n$. Newman's Conjecture asserts that for each integer $r$, there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ such that \[ p(n)\equiv r \pmod{M}. \]…

Boundedness is demonstrated for the fifth derivative of the one-particle reduced density matrix for non-relativistic Coulombic wavefunctions in the vicinity of the diagonal. To prove this result, strong pointwise bounds are obtained for…

We study explicit continued fraction expansions for certain series. Some of these expansions have symmetry that generalizes some remarkable examples discovered independently by Kmosek and Shallit. Furthermore, we prove the following…

Recently introduced by the authors in [Proc. Edinb. Math. Soc. 60 (2020), 139-167], quasi-densities form a large family of real-valued functions partially defined on the power set of the integers that serve as a unifying framework for the…

In this paper, we prove some new thickness theorems with partial derivatives. We give some applications. First, we give a simple criterion that can judge whether two scaled Cantor sets have non-empty intersection. Second, we prove under…

We prove some new bounds for the size of the maximal dissociated subset of structured (having small sumset, large energy and so on) subsets A of an abelian group.

We prove the existence of isoperimetric regions in $\R^n$ with density under various hypotheses on the growth of the density. Along the way we prove results on the boundedness of isoperimetric regions.
