This is an expository work presenting in detail the proof of the structure theorem for divisible abelian groups. A divisible abelian group is an abelian group that satisfies nD=D for all natural n. The theorem states that any divisible…

In this paper, we study the linear structure of sets $A \subset \mathbb{F}_2^n$ with doubling constant $\sigma(A)<2$, where $\sigma(A):=\frac{|A+A|}{|A|}$. In particular, we show that $A$ is contained in a small affine subspace. We also…

We prove a general divisibility theorem that implies, e.g., that, in any group, the number of generating pairs (as well as triples, etc.) is a multiple of the order of the commutator subgroup. Another corollary says that, in any associative…

In its usual form, Freiman's 3k-4 theorem states that if A and B are subsets of the integers of size k with small sumset (of size close to 2k) then they are very close to arithmetic progressions. Our aim in this paper is to strengthen this…

Let $A$ be a subset of a finite abelian group such that $A$ has a small difference set $A-A$ and the density of $A$ is small. We prove that, counter--intuitively, the smallness (in terms of $|A-A|$) of the Fourier coefficients of $A$…

We prove that every finitely generated soluble group which is not virtually abelian has a subgroup of one of a small number of types.

Green and Ruzsa recently proved that for any $s\ge2$, any small squaring set $A$ in a (multiplicative) abelian group, i.e. $|A\cdot A|<K|A|$, has a Freiman $s$-model: it means that there exists a group $G$ and a Freiman $s$-isomorphism from…

We show that if a finite, large enough subset A of an arbitrary abelian group satisfies the small doubling condition |A + A| < (log |A|)^{1 - epsilon} |A|, then A must contain a three-term arithmetic progression whose terms are not all…

The authors investigate the structure of quasi-o-minimal groups. Among other results, they show that quasi-o-minimal groups are abelian, that quasi-o-minimal densely ordered archimedian groups are divisible, and that every divisible…

In this article we aim to develop from first principles a theory of sum sets and partial sum sets, which are defined analogously to difference sets and partial difference sets. We obtain non-existence results and characterisations. In…

The entropic doubling $\sigma_{\operatorname{ent}}[X]$ of a random variable $X$ taking values in an abelian group $G$ is a variant of the notion of the doubling constant $\sigma[A]$ of a finite subset $A$ of $G$, but it enjoys somewhat…

We give a general description of the structure of a discrete double groupoid (with an extra, quite natural, filling condition) in terms of groupoid factorizations and groupoid 2-cocycles with coefficients in abelian group bundles. Our…

An approach to a classification of groups generated by 3-state automata over a 2-letter alphabet and the current progress in this direction are presented. Several results related to the whole class are formulated. In particular, all finite,…

We give a comprehensive description of the sets $A$ in finite cyclic groups such that $|2A|<\frac94|A|$; namely, we show that any set with this property is densely contained in a (one-dimensional) coset progression. This improves earlier…

We study the number of $k \times r$ plane partitions, weighted on the sum of the first row. Using Erhart reciprocity, we prove an identity for the generating function. For the special case $k=1$ this result follows from the classical theory…

In this paper we bring together results about the density of subsemigroups of abelian Lie groups, the minimal number of topological generators of abelian Lie groups and a result about actions of algebraic groups. We find the minimal number…

This short paper presents a generalisation of Tressl's structure theorem for differentially finitely generated algebras over differential rings of characteristic 0 to the case of separable algebras over differential rings of arbitrary…

We show that any order isomorphism between ordered structures of associative unital JB-subalgebras of JBW algebras is implemented naturally by a Jordan isomorphism. Consequently, JBW algebras are determined by the structure of their…

Ordering theorems, characterizing when partial orders of a group extend to total orders, are used to generate hypersequent calculi for varieties of lattice-ordered groups (l-groups). These calculi are then used to provide new proofs of…

We give a further extension and generalization of Dedekind's theorem over those presented by Yamaguchi. In addition, we give two corollaries on irreducible representations of finite groups and a conjugation of the group algebra of the…
