We prove that for any finite group G, the sum across non-identity elements of the squared absolute value of any generalized character of G which does not vanish on all non-identity elements of G is at least |G|/d -1, where d is the maximal…
Let $D$ be a dictionary in a Hilbert space $H$, that is, a set of unit elements whose linear combinations are dense in $H$. We consider the least $m$-term deviation $\sigma_m(x)$ of an element $x\in H$: this is the distance of $x$ from the…
We carry out a detailed investigation of congruence half-factorial Krull monoids with finite cyclic class group and related problems. Specifically, we determine precisely all relatively large values that can occur as a minimal distance of a…
We prove that if $H$ is a topological group such that all closed subgroups of $H$ are separable, then the product $G\times H$ has the same property for every separable compact group $G$. Let $c$ be the cardinality of the continuum. Assuming…
The catenary degree of an element $n$ of a cancellative commutative monoid $S$ is a nonnegative integer measuring the distance between the irreducible factorizations of $n$. The catenary degree of the monoid $S$, defined as the supremum…
We show that for a minimal system $(X,T)$, the set of saturated points along cubes with respect to its maximal $\infty$-step pro-nilfactor $X_\infty$ has a full measure. As an application, it is shown that if a minimal system $(X,T)$ has no…
Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, $B(H)$ the $C^*$-algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H,$ $U(B(H))$ the unitary group of $B(H)$ and ${\cal K}\subset B(H)$ the ideal of compact operators. Let $G$ be a…
For a commutative cancellative monoid $M$, we introduce the notion of the length density of both a nonunit $x\in M$, denoted $\mathrm{LD}(x)$, and the entire monoid $M$, denoted $\mathrm{LD}(M)$. This invariant is related to three widely…
We fix a field $\kk$ of characteristic $p$. For a finite group $G$ denote by $\delta(G)$ and $\sigma(G)$ respectively the minimal number $d$, such that for any finite dimensional representation $V$ of $G$ over $\kk$ and any $v\in…
Suppose $u\in \dot{H}^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$. In a seminal work, Struwe proved that if $u\geq 0$ and $\|\Delta u+u^{\frac{n+2}{n-2}}\|_{H^{-1}}:=\Gamma(u)\to 0$ then $dist(u,\mathcal{T})\to 0$, where $dist(u,\mathcal{T})$ denotes the…
In this note, as a particular case of a more general result, we obtain the following theorem: Let $\Omega\subseteq {\bf R}^n$ be a non-empty bounded open set and let $f:\overline {\Omega}\to {\bf R}^n$ be a continuous function which is…
The graph removal lemma is a fundamental result in extremal graph theory which says that for every fixed graph $H$ and $\varepsilon > 0$, if an $n$-vertex graph $G$ contains $\varepsilon n^2$ edge-disjoint copies of $H$ then $G$ contains…
Let $M$ be a subset of $\mathbb{R}^k$. It is an important question in the theory of linear inequalities to estimate the minimal number $h=h(M)$ such that every system of linear inequalities which is infeasible over $M$ has a subsystem of at…
Michalski gave a short and elegant proof of a theorem of A. Kumar which states that for each set A in R, there exists a subset B of A which is full in A and such that no distance between points in B is a rational number. He also proved a…
It is known that if a compact set $E$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ has Hausdorff dimension greater than $(d+1)/2$, then its $n$-chain distance set $$\Delta^n(E) = \left\{\left(\left|x^1-x^2\right|,\cdots, \left|x^{n}- x^{n+1}\right|\right)\in…
We study stable solutions of the following nonlinear system $$ -\Delta u = H(u) \quad \text{in} \ \ \Omega$$ where $u:\mathbb R^n\to \mathbb R^m$, $H:\mathbb R^m\to \mathbb R^m$ and $\Omega$ is a domain in $\mathbb R^n$. We introduce the…
In this note, we give sufficient conditions for the (semi)stability of a hypersurface $H$ of $\mathbb{P}^N_k$ in terms of its degree $d$, the maximal multiplicity $\delta$ of its singularities, and the dimension $s$ of its singular locus.…
We develop a general theory for irreducible homogeneous spaces $M= G/H$, in relation to the nullity $\nu$ of their curvature tensor. We construct natural invariant (different and increasing) distributions associated with the nullity, that…
We study the finite dimensional spaces $V$ which are invariant under the action of the finite differences operator $\Delta_h^m$. Concretely, we prove that if $V$ is such an space, there exists a finite dimensional translation invariant…
Consider the Schrodinger equation -\Delta u =(k+V) u in an infinite slab S= \R^{n-1}x (0,1), where V is a bounded potential supported on a set D of finite measure. We prove necessary conditions for the existence of nontrivial admissible…
