We prove that for an arbitrary subtree $T$ of $2^{<\omega}$ with each element extendable to a path, a given countable class $\mathcal{M}$ closed under disjoint union, and any set $A$, if none of the members of $\mathcal{M}$ strongly…

The aim of this paper is two-fold: (1) introduce four systems of equations called M-systems and dual M-systems of types $A_{n}$ and $B_{n}$ respectively; (2) make a connection between M-systems (dual M-systems) and cluster algebras and…

We show that the number of fully packed loop configurations corresponding to a matching with $m$ nested arches is polynomial in $m$ if $m$ is large enough, thus essentially proving two conjectures by Zuber [Electronic J. Combin. 11 (2004),…

We prove the automorphism conjecture for ordered sets of width less than or equal to 11. The proof supports the meta conjecture that a large number of automorphisms is achievable only as some type of product of independent automorphisms on…

We consider the following conjecture: on a klt germ (X,x), for every finite set I there is a positive integer N with the property that for every R-ideal J on X with exponents in I, there is a divisor E over X that computes the minimal log…

We show that if a finite point set $P\subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ has the fewest congruence classes of triangles possible, up to a constant $M$, then at least one of the following holds. (1) There is a $\sigma>0$ and a line $l$ which contains…

In this paper, we show that Shokurov's conjectures on the ACC for $a$-lc thresholds and the ACC for minimal log discrepancies are equivalent in the interval $[0,1)$. That is, the conjecture on ACC for $a$-lc thresholds holds for every…

The celebrated union-closed conjecture is concerned with the cardinalities of various subsets of the Boolean $d$-cube. The cardinality of such a set is equivalent, up to a constant, to its measure under the uniform distribution, so we can…

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…

Let M be ternary, homogeneous and simple. We prove that if M is finitely constrained, then it is supersimple with finite SU-rank and dependence is $k$-trivial for some $k < \omega$ and for finite sets of real elements. Now suppose that, in…

Given a connected graph $G=(V,E)$ and a crossing family $\mathcal{C}$ over ground set $V$ such that $|\delta_G(U)|\geq 2$ for every $U\in \mathcal{C}$, we prove there exists a strong orientation of $G$ for $\mathcal{C}$, i.e., an…

We give a simple argument showing that the number of edges in the intersection graph $G$ of a family of $n$ sets in the plane with a linear union-complexity is $O(\omega(G)n)$. In particular, we prove $\chi(G)\leq \text{col}(G)<…

In this paper we prove that every set $A\subset\mathbb{Z}$ satisfying the inequality $\sum_{x}\min(1_A*1_A(x),t)\le(2+\delta)t|A|$ for $t$ and $\delta$ in suitable ranges, then $A$ must be very close to an arithmetic progression. We use…

The document tries to put focus on sequences with certain properties and periods leading to the first value smaller than the starting value in the Collatz problem. With the idea that, if all starting numbers lead ultimately to a smaller…

We prove that for $n$ sufficiently large, if $A$ is a family of permutations of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ with no two permutations in $\mathcal{A}$ agreeing exactly once, then $|\mathcal{A}| \leq (n-2)!$, with equality holding only if…

Let $\mathcal{F}\subset 2^{[n]}$ be a set family such that the intersection of any two members of $\mathcal{F}$ has size divisible by $\ell$. The famous Eventown theorem states that if $\ell=2$ then $|\mathcal{F}|\leq 2^{\lfloor…

We introduce two families of inequalities. Large ensemble decoupling is connected to the continuous restriction phenomenon. Tight decoupling is connected to the discrete Restriction conjecture for the sphere. Our investigation opens new…

We prove a structural result for sets of integers with doubling at most $4 + \delta$, with $\delta>0$ sufficiently small. This generalises earlier work of Eberhard--Green--Manners which dealt with sets of integers with doubling strictly…

Let $p_\mathrm{c}$ and $q_\mathrm{c}$ be the threshold and the expectation threshold, respectively, of an increasing family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of a finite set $X$, and let $l$ be the size of a largest minimal element of $\mathcal{F}$.…

We prove that if two families $\mathcal{F} \subseteq \binom{[n]}{k}$ and $\mathcal{F}' \subseteq \binom{[n]}{k'}$ satisfy $\sum_{1 \leq i, j \leq \ell} \lvert F_i \cap F_j' \rvert \geq \ell^2t - \ell +1$ for every choice of distinct $F_1,…
