A vast class of exponential functions are shown to be deterministic. This class includes functions whose exponents are polynomial-like or "piece-wise" close to polynomials after differentiation. Many of these functions are proved to be…

In this paper we study the problem of almost periodicity of solutions for dissipative differential equations (Bronshtein's conjecture). We give a positive answer to this conjecture for monotone almost periodic systems of…

We determine the M\"obius function of the poset of compositions of an integer. In fact we give two proofs of this formula, one using an involution and one involving discrete Morse theory. The composition poset turns out to be intimately…

This paper is a continuation of the authors' previous work on noncommutative joinings, and contains a study of relative independence of W$^*$-dynamical systems. We prove that, given any separable locally compact group $G$, an ergodic…

There is a convolution product on 3-variable partial flag functions of a locally finite poset that produces a generalized M\"obius function. Under the product this generalized M\"obius function is a one sided inverse of the zeta function…

A recent result of Downarowicz and Serafin (DS) shows that there exist positive entropy subshifts satisfying the assertion of Sarnak's conjecture. More precisely, it is proved that if $y=(y_n)_{n\ge 1}$ is a bounded sequence with zero…

In this article we prove that multidimensional effective S-adic systems, obtained by applying an effective sequence of substitutions chosen among a finite set of substitutions, are sofic subshifts.

We prove a conjecture by Shannon Starr regarding the asymptotics for the number of tuples of commuting permutations with given number of joint orbits. These numbers generalize unsigned Stirling numbers of the first kind which count how many…

In this paper, we prove the Mohebi-Radjabalipour Conjecture under a little additional condition, and obtain a new invariant subspace theorem for subdecomposable operators. Our main results contain known results in this topic as special…

We give an equivalent condition for the existence of invariant Gibbs measures for sequences of continuous functions on one-sided subshifts and, more generally, for the existence of Gibbs measures. These extend the results of Kim [6] and…

In this note we give a fairly direct proof of a recent theorem of Gorska, Lemanczyk and de la Rue which characterises the class of measure preserving transformations that are disjoint from every ergodic measure preserving transformation.…

We show that there are an irrational rotation $Tx=x+\alpha$ on the circle $\mathbb{T}$ and a continuous $\varphi\colon\mathbb{T}\to\mathbb{R}$ such that for each (continuous) uniquely ergodic flow $\mathcal{S}=(S_t)_{t\in\mathbb{R}}$ acting…

We give a number theoretic proof of the integrality of certain BPS invariants of knots. The formulas for these numbers are sums involving binomial coefficients and the M\"obius function. We also prove a conjecture about further divisibility…

We present a streamlined proof of a result essentially present in previous work of the author, namely that for every set $S = \{s_1, s_2, \ldots\} \subset \mathbb{N}$ of zero Banach density and finite set $A$, there exists a minimal…

The Myhill isomorphism is a variant of the Cantor-Bernstein theorem. It states that, from two injections that reduces two subsets of $\mathbb{N}$ to each other, there exists a bijection $\mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ that preserves them. This…

Using techniques developed in \cite{KLR}, we verify Sarnak's conjecture for two classes of rank-one subshifts with unbounded cutting parameters. The first class of rank-one subshifts we consider are called {\em almost complete congruency…

We develop the methods used by Rudnev and Wheeler to prove an incidence theorem between arbitrary sets of M\"{o}bius transformations and point sets in $\mathbb F_p^2$. We also note some asymmetric incidence results, and give applications of…

Baxter permutations originally arose in studying common fixed points of two commuting continuous functions. In 2015, Dilks proposed a conjectured bijection between Baxter permutations and non-intersecting triples of lattice paths in terms…

We formulate and prove a finite version of Vinogradov's bilinear sum inequality. We use it together with Ratner's joinings theorems to prove that the Mobius function is disjoint from discrete horocycle flows on $\Gamma \backslash…

In this paper we give an answer to Furstenberg's problem on topological disjointness. Namely, we show that a transitive system $(X,T)$ is disjoint from all minimal systems if and only if $(X,T)$ is weakly mixing and there is some countable…
