We show that the homology of strata of abelian differentials stabilizes in a range where the number of simple zeros is large relative to the homological degree. In this range, we show that the rational cohomology agrees with the restriction…

It is shown that perturbations around backgrounds with one non-homogeneous dimension, namely of co-homogeneity 1, can be canonically simplified, a property that is shown to hold to any order in perturbation theory. Recalling that the…

This paper presents results on structures in P based on tools developed from subjects of elementary number theory. Key findings are: The arithmetical sequence H = (+-3*2; 1) is in Z the smallest superset of P \ {3, 2}. H is a semigroup. A…

A double-base representation of an integer n is an expression n = n_1 + ... + n_r, where the n_i are (positive or negative) integers that are divisible by no primes other than 2 or 3; the length of the representation is the number r of…

The robust stability problem involves designing a controlled system which remains stable in the presence of modeling uncertainty. In this context, results known as small gain theorems are used to quantify the maximum amount of uncertainty…

Let $A$ be a nonempty subset of finite abelian group $G$ of order $n$. For an integer $h \geq 2$, the restricted $h$-fold sumset $h^\wedge A$ is the set of all sums of $h$ distinct elements of $A$. It is known that if $G$ is a group of…

Given $k$-uniform hypergraphs $G$ and $H$ on $n$ vertices with densities $p$ and $q$, their relative discrepancy is defined as $\hbox{disc}(G,H)=\max\big||E(G')\cap E(H')|-pq\binom{n}{k}\big|$, where the maximum ranges over all pairs…

Let $\KX =K\langle X_1,\ldots ,X_n\rangle$ be the free algebra generated by $X=\{ X_1,\ldots ,X_n\}$ over a field $K$. It is shown that with respect to any weighted $\mathbb{N}$-gradation attached to $\KX$, minimal homogeneous generating…

Given a permutation group $G \le \mathrm{Sym}(\Omega)$, a subset $B$ of $\Omega$ is said to be a base if its pointwise stabiliser in $G$ is trivial, and the base size $b(G)$ is the minimum size of a base. In the notable case $b(G) = 2$,…

A recent result of Balandraud shows that for every subset S of an abelian group G, there exists a non trivial subgroup H such that |TS| <= |T|+|S|-2 holds only if the stabilizer of TS contains H. Notice that Kneser's Theorem says only that…

For $k=1,2,\ldots$ let $H_k$ denote the harmonic number $\sum_{j=1}^k 1/j$. In this paper we establish some new congruences involving harmonic numbers. For example, we show that for any prime $p>3$ we have…

Let $n$ be an arbitrary integer, let $p$ be a prime factor of $n$. Denote by $\omega_1$ the $p^{th}$ primitive unity root, $\omega_1:=e^{\frac{2\pi i}{p}}$. Define $\omega_i:=\omega_1^i$ for $0\leq i\leq p-1$ and…

Conlon, Gowers, Samotij, and Schacht showed that for a given graph $H$ and a constant $\gamma > 0$, there exists $C > 0$ such that if $p \ge Cn^{-1/m_2(H)}$ then asymptotically almost surely every spanning subgraph $G$ of the random graph…

The $r$-th iterated line graph $L^{r}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined by: (i) $L^{0}(G) = G$ and (ii) $L^{r}(G) = L(L^{(r- 1)}(G))$ for $r > 0$, where $L(G)$ denotes the line graph of $G$. The Hamiltonian Index $h(G)$ of $G$ is the smallest…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group and $p$ be the smallest prime dividing $|G|$. Let $S$ be a sequence over $G$. We say that $S$ is regular if for every proper subgroup $H \subsetneq G$, $S$ contains at most $|H|-1$ terms from $H$. Let…

Given a metric space $(X,d)$, a set $S\subseteq X$ is called a $k$-\emph{metric generator} for $X$ if any pair of different points of $X$ is distinguished by at least $k$ elements of $S$. A $k$-\emph{metric basis} is a $k$-metric generator…

A set of vertices S is a resolving set of a graph G; if for every pair of vertices x and y in G, there exists a vertex s in S such that x and y differ in distance to s. A smallest resolving set of G is called a metric basis. The metric…

Let $G$ be a connected finite simple graph and let $I_G$ be the edge ideal of $G$. The smallest number $k$ for which $\depth S/I_G^k$ stabilizes is denoted by $\dstab(I_G)$. We show that $\dstab(I_G)<\ell(I_G)$ where $\ell(I_G)$ denotes the…
