We prove that for any compact manifold of dimension greater than $1$, the set of pseudo-Riemannian metrics having a trivial isometry group contains an open and dense subset of the space of metrics.

Suppose that $f$ belongs to a suitably defined complete metric space $ {{\cal C}}^{{\alpha}}$ of H\"older $ {\alpha}$-functions defined on $[0,1]$. We are interested in whether one can find large (in the sense of Hausdorff, or lower/upper…

Let $N$ be a large prime and $P, Q \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ two linearly independent polynomials with $P(0) = Q(0) = 0$. We show that if a subset $A$ of $\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z}$ lacks a progression of the form $(x, x + P(y), x + Q(y), x + P(y) +…

We show that for the base two expansion \[ x=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}2^{-(d_{1}(x)+d_{2}(x)+\dots+d_{i}(x))}\] with $x\in(0,1]$ and $d_{i}(x)\in\mathbb{N}$ the set $A=\{x|\lim_{i\to\infty}d_{i}(x)=\infty\}$ has Hausdorff dimension zero, this is…

Roughly speaking, regular subspaces are regular Dirichlet forms that inherit the original forms with smaller domains. In this paper, regular subspaces of 1-dim symmetric $\alpha$-stable processes are considered. The main result is that it…

Let $U(\mathbb T)$ be the space of all continuous functions on the circle $\mathbb T$ whose Fourier series converges uniformly. Salem's well-known example shows that a product of two functions in $U(\mathbb T)$ does not always belongs to…

We establish sharp bounds for the Hausdorff dimension of sets of irrational numbers in $(0,1)$ whose digits in the $N$-expansion are either uniformly bounded or tend to infinity. For sets with digits bounded by an integer $M \ge N$, we…

We study the stability under point-wise product and under composition in Carleman classes of holomorphic functions, defined on sectors of the Riemann surface of the logarithm, and admitting a uniform asymptotic expansion with remainders…

The Suslin hypothesis states that there are no nonseparable complete dense linear orderings without endpoints which have the countable chain condition. $\mathsf{ZF + AD^+ + V = L(\mathscr{P}(\mathbb{R}))}$ proves the Suslin hypothesis. In…

For $A\subseteq \mathbb{R}$, let $A+A=\{a+b: a,b\in A\}$ and $AA=\{ab: a,b\in A\}$. For $k\in \mathbb{N}$, let $SP(k)$ denote the minimum value of $\max\{|A+A|, |AA|\}$ over all $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ with $|A|=k$. Here we establish…

For any $d\in \mathbb{N}$ and any function $f:(0,\infty)\to [0,1]$ with $f(R)\to 0$ as $R\to \infty$, we construct a set $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ and a sequence $R_n \to \infty$ such that $\|x-y\| \neq R_n$ for all $x,y\in A$ and…

For every $d\ge 3$, we construct a noncompact smooth $d$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with strictly positive sectional curvature without isoperimetric sets for any volume below $1$. We construct a similar example also for the relative…

Consider all the level sets of a real function. We can group these level sets according to their Hausdorff dimensions. We show that the Hausdorff dimension of the collection of all level sets of a given Hausdorff dimension can be…

The Fourier transform plays a central role in many geometric and combinatorial problems cast in vector spaces over finite fields. If a set admits optimal $L^\infty$ bounds on its Fourier transform (that is, it is a Salem set), then it can…

We prove a variety of results concerning singular sets of reals. Our results concern: Kysiak and Laver-null sets, Kocinac and gamma-k-sets, Fleissner and square Q-sets, Alikhani-Koopaei and minimal Q-like-sets, Rubin and sigma-sets, and…

Consider a finite Blaschke product $f$ with $f(0) = 0$ which is not a rotation and denote by $f^n$ its $n$-th iterate. Given a sequence $\{a_n\}$ of complex numbers, consider the series $F(z) = \sum_n a_n f^n(z).$ We show that for any $w…

We show two results. First, a refinement of Freiman's theorem: if A is a finite set of integers and |A+A| < K|A|, then A is contained in a multidimensional progression of dimension at most O(K^{7/4} log^3K) and size at most exp(O(K^{7/4}…

We study pairs $(f, \Gamma)$ consisting of a non-Archimedean rational function $f$ and a finite set of vertices $\Gamma$ in the Berkovich projective line, under a certain stability hypothesis. We prove that stability can always be attained…

Indicator functions mentioned in the title are constructed on an arbitrary nondiscrete locally compact Abelian group of finite dimension. Moreover, they can be obtained by small perturbation from any indicator function fixed beforehand. In…

Let s and k be integers with s \geq 2 and k \geq 2. Let g_k^{(s)}(n) denote the cardinality of the largest subset of the set {1,2,..., n} that contains no geometric progression of length k whose common ratio is a power of s. Let r_k(\ell)…
