We prove results about the L^p-almost-periodicity of convolutions. One of these follows from a simple but rather general lemma about approximating a sum of functions in L^p, and gives a very short proof of a theorem of Green that if A and B…

The ordinary continued fractions expansion of a real number is based on the Euclidean division. Variants of the latter yield variants of the former, all encompassed by a more general Dynamical Systems framework. For all these variants the…

Let $A$ be an artin algebra. The aim of this work is to describe the enlargements of an indecomposable complex in $\mathbf{C}_{n}(\mbox{proj} \,A)$, and to study the irreducible morphisms between them. Precisely, we prove that any…

We show that if A is a subset of Z_4^n containing no three-term arithmetic progression in which all the elements are distinct then |A|=o(4^n/n).

It is known that there are infinitely-many prime numbers which take the form of a polynomial of degree one with integer coefficients, this is Dirichlet's theorem. We use an elementary sieving argument together with bounds on the prime…

Let $B$ be a set of natural numbers of size $n$. We prove that the length of the longest arithmetic progression contained in the product set $B.B = \{bb'| \, b, b' \in B\}$ cannot be greater than $O(n \log n)$ which matches the lower bound…

In order to investigate multiplicative structures in additively large sets, Beiglb\"{o}ck et al. raised a significant open question as to whether or not every subset of the natural numbers with bounded gaps (syndetic set) contains…

Given a positive integer $N$ and real number $\alpha\in [0, 1]$, let $m(\alpha,N)$ denote the minimum, over all sets $A\subset \mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}$ of size at least $\alpha N$, of the normalized count of 3-term arithmetic progressions…

We establish asymptotic formulas for sums of reciprocals of primes in arithmetic progressions, generalizing recent results on multiple Mertens evaluations by Tenenbaum, Qi, and Hu. Specifically, for any fixed constant $K>0$, we derive…

We enumerate total cyclic orders on $\left\{1,\ldots,n\right\}$ where we prescribe the relative cyclic order of consecutive triples $(i,{i+1},{i+2})$, these integers being taken modulo $n$. In some cases, the problem reduces to the…

We present results on the existence of long arithmetic progressions in the Thue-Morse word and in a class of generalised Thue-Morse words. Our arguments are inspired by van der Waerden's proof for the existence of arbitrary long…

We prove that the size of the product set of any finite arithmetic progression $\mathcal{A}\subset \mathbb{Z}$ satisfies \[|\mathcal A \cdot \mathcal A| \ge \frac{|\mathcal A|^2}{(\log |\mathcal A|)^{2\theta +o(1)} } ,\] where…

We show that there is a positive constant $c$ such that any graph on vertex set $[n]$ with at most $c n^2/k^2 \log k$ edges contains an independent set of order $k$ whose vertices form an arithmetic progression. We also present applications…

The results for the fractional sequence $\left \{[x/n]+1:n \leq x\right \}$, and the fractional sequence in arithmetic progression $\left \{q[x/n]+a:n \leq x\right \}$, where $a<q$ are integers such that $\gcd(a,q)=1$, prove that these…

Wall's theorem on arithmetic progressions says that if $0.a_1a_2a_3\dots$ is normal, then for any $k,\ell\in \mathbb{N}$, $0.a_ka_{k+\ell}a_{k+2\ell}\dots$ is also normal. We examine a converse statement and show that if…
