We study some number-theoretic, ergodic and harmonic analysis properties of the Furstenberg set of integers $S=\{2^{m}3^{n}\}$ and compare them to those of its random analogue $T$. In this half-expository work, we show for example that $S$…
For a reduced projective scheme over the ring of integers of a number field, the set of places over which the fibres of the scheme are not reduced is a finite set. We give an explicit upper bound for the product of the norms of places in…
We introduce the classes of descendingly flexible and descendingly alternative algebras over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{F}$. We suggest a new method based on the sequence of differences between the dimensions of the linear spans of words,…
We use recent advances on the discretized sum-product problem to obtain new bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of planar $(\alpha,2\alpha)$-Fursterberg sets. This provides a quantitative improvement to the $2\alpha+\epsilon$ bound of…
A vector space partition of $\mathbb{F}_q^v$ is a collection of subspaces such that every non-zero vector is contained in a unique element. We improve a lower bound of Heden, in a subcase, on the number of elements of the smallest occurring…
We study $t$-intersecting and $t$-cross-intersecting families of $k$-dimensional subspaces in finite vector spaces of dimension $n$. We show that all large $t$-intersecting families admit a governing low-dimensional structure for $n \ge…
A family $\mathcal{F}$ on ground set $[n]:=\{1,2,\ldots, n\}$ is maximal $k$-wise intersecting if every collection of at most $k$ sets in $\mathcal{F}$ has non-empty intersection, and no other set can be added to $\mathcal{F}$ while…
We discuss some notions of compactness and convergence relative to a specified family F of subsets of some topological space X. The two most interesting particular cases of our construction appear to be the following ones. (1) The case in…
We study new families of curves that are suitable for efficiently parametrizing their moduli spaces. We explicitly construct such families for smooth plane quartics in order to determine unique representatives for the isomorphism classes of…
The weak and strong Lefschetz properties are two basic properties that Artinian algebras may have. Both Lefschetz properties may vary under small perturbations or changes of the characteristic. We study these subtleties by proposing a…
We study Hilbert functions of certain non-reduced schemes A supported at finite sets of points in projective space, in particular, fat point schemes. We give combinatorially defined upper and lower bounds for the Hilbert function of A using…
For a set $P$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb R^d$, for any $d\ge 2$, a hyperplane $h$ is called $k$-rich with respect to $P$ if it contains at least $k$ points of $P$. Answering and generalizing a question asked by Peyman Afshani, we show that…
Let $(G,+)$ be a countable abelian group such that the subgroup $\{g+g\colon g\in G\}$ has finite index and the doubling map $g\mapsto g+g$ has finite kernel. We establish lower bounds on the upper density of a set $A\subset G$ with respect…
Using Weil descent, we give bounds for the number of rational points on two families of curves over finite fields with a large abelian group of automorphisms: Artin-Schreier curves of the form $y^q-y=f(x)$ with $f\in\Fqr[x]$, on which the…
This paper studies the structure of core sets under different similarity classes. We investigate the influence of factors of the minimal polynomial with different degrees on the structure of core sets. When $F$ is a finite field of prime…
A family $\mbox{$\cal F$}=\{F_1,\ldots,F_m\}$ of subsets of $[n]$ is said to be ordered, if there exists an $1\leq r\leq m$ index such that $n\in F_i$ for each $1\leq i\leq r$, $n\notin F_i$ for each $i>r$ and $|F_i|\leq |F_j|$ for each…
We construct an infinite family of intriguing sets that are not tight in the Grassmann Graph of planes of PG$(n,q)$, $n\ge 5$ odd, and show that the members of the family are the smallest possible examples if $n\ge 9$ or $q\ge 25$.
We show that a finite collection of stable subgroups of a finitely generated group has finite height, finite width and bounded packing. We then use knowledge about intersections of conjugates to characterize finite families of…
Topological quantum matter exhibits a range of exotic phenomena when enriched by subdimensional symmetries. This includes new features beyond those that appear in the conventional setting of global symmetry enrichment. A recently discovered…
In this survey we collect and discuss some recent results on the so called "Furstenberg set problem", which in its classical form concerns the estimates of the Hausdorff dimension of planar sets containing, for any direction, a subset of an…
