In this talk we introduce several topics in combinatorial number theory which are related to groups; the topics include combinatorial aspects of covers of groups by cosets, and also restricted sumsets and zero-sum problems on abelian…
We consider an arbitrary representation of the additive group over a field of characteristic zero and give an explicit description of a finite separating set in the corresponding ring of invariants.
Metaphysical interpretations of set theory are either inconsistent or incoherent. The uses of sets in mathematics actually involve three distinct kinds of collections (surveyable, definite, and heuristic), which are governed by three…
We obtain explicit formulas for the number of non-isomorphic elliptic curves with a given group structure (considered as an abstract abelian group). Moreover, we give explicit formulas for the number of distinct group structures of all…
We study the Ap\'ery set of good subsemigoups of $\mathbb N^2$, a class of semigroups containing the value semigroups of curve singularities with two branches. Even if this set in infinite, we show that, for the Ap\'ery set of such…
Let $F$ be a free non-abelian group. We show that for any group word $w$ the set $w[F]$ of all values of $w$ in $F$ is rational in $F$ if and only if $w[F] = 1$ or $w[F] = F.$ We generalize this to a wide class of free products of groups.
We define the notion of $D$-set in an arbitrary semigroup, and with some mild restrictions we establish its dynamical and combinatorial characterizations. Assuming a weak form of cancellation in semigroups we have shown that the Cartesian…
In this paper we begin the systematic study of group equations with abelian predicates in the main classes of groups where solving equations is possible. We extend the line of work on word equations with length constraints, and more…
An ideal on a set $X$ is a collection of subsets of $X$ closed under the operations of taking finite unions and subsets of its elements. Ideals are a very useful notion in topology and set theory and have been studied for a long time. We…
Passing from arithmetic schemes to algebraic schemes, in a similar manner we will have the computation of the \'etale fundamental group of an algebraic scheme and then will define and discuss the qc fundamental group of an algebraic scheme…
A priori, the set of birational transformations of an algebraic variety is just a group. We survey the possible algebraic structures that we may add to it, using in particular parametrised family of birational transformations.
In this paper we propose a conjecture concerning partial sums of an arbitrary finite subset of an abelian group, that naturally arises investigating simple Heffter systems. Then, we show its connection with related open problems and we…
Difference sets are subsets of a group satisfying certain combinatorial property with respect to the group operation. They can be characterized using an equality in the group ring of the corresponding group. In this paper, we exploit the…
We introduce the notion of specular sets which are subsets of groups called here specular and which form a natural generalization of free groups. These sets are an abstract generalization of the natural codings of linear involutions. We…
The game of SET is one of the best mathematical games ever. It is no wonder that people have tried to generalize it. We discuss existing generalizations of the game of SET to different groups. We concentrate on two types of generalization:…
We characterize the fixed sets of automorphisms of an arbitrary countable, arithmetically saturated structure.
In this paper we discuss some of the key properties of sum-free subsets of abelian groups. Our discussion has been designed with a broader readership in mind, and is hence not overly technical. We consider answers to questions like: how…
In this paper we introduce the concept of completeness of sets. We study this property on the set of integers. We examine how this property is preserved as we carry out various operations compatible with sets. We also introduce the problem…
We determine all groups definable in Presburger arithmetic, up to a finite index subgroup.
The target of this article is to discuss the concept of \textit{commuting probability} of finite groups which, in short, is a probabilistic measure of how abelian our group is. We shall compute the value of commuting probability for many…
