This note is motivated by the article of Bamerni, Kadets and Kili\c{c}man [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 435 (2), 1812--1815 (2016)]. We consider the remaining problem which claims that if $A$ is a dense subset of a finite dimensional space $X$,…

For finite p-groups P of class 2 and exponent p the following are invariants of fully refined central decompositions of P: the number of members in the decomposition, the multiset of orders of the members, and the multiset of orders of…

The Bernstein approximation problem is to determine whether or not the space of all polynomials is dense in a given weighted $C_0$-space on the real line. A theorem of L. de Branges characterizes non--density by existence of an entire…

We investigate how the Minkowski sum of two polytopes affects their graph and, in particular, their diameter. We show that the diameter of the Minkowski sum is bounded below by the diameter of each summand and above by, roughly, the product…

Let $(x_n)_{n\geq0}$ be a linear recurrence sequence of order $k\geq2$ satisfying $$x_n=a_1x_{n-1}+a_2x_{n-2}+\dots+a_kx_{n-k}$$ for all integers $n\geq k$, where $a_1,\dots,a_k,x_0,\dots, x_{k-1}\in \mathbb{Z},$ with $a_k\neq0$. In 2017,…

We determine the exact group structure of the abelianization of $\text{SL}_2(A)$, where $A$ is a Dedekind domain of arithmetic type with infinitely many units. In particular, our results show that $\text{SL}_2(A)^\text{ab}$ is finite, with…

We study p-adic counterparts of stable distributions, that is limit distributions for sequences of normalized sums of independent identically distributed p-adic-valued random variables. In contrast to the classical case, non-degenerate…

Without assuming the field structure on the additive group of real numbers $\mathbb{R}$ with the usual order $<,$ we explore the fact that every proper subgroup of $\mathbb{R}$ is either closed or dense. This property of subgroups of the…

In this paper, we consider whether existence of a sums-of-squares formula depends on the base field. We reformulate the question of existence as a question in algebraic geometry. We show that, for large enough p, existence of…

We study the image of a generalized Dedekind sum relating to the weight zero Eisenstein series $E_{\chi_1,\chi_2}$. We show that the image is a lattice of full rank inside a number field determined by the characters $\chi_1$ and $\chi_2$.…

We study Dedekind sums $S(a,b)$ near Farey points of the interval $[0,b]$. Each of these Dedekind sums is connected with a set of other Dedekind sums by the Petersson-Knopp identity. In the case considered here, this identity has a very…

Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal O$. After introducing a suitable notion of density for subsets of $\mathcal O$, generalizing that of natural density for subsets of $\mathbb Z$, we show that the density of the set…

We introduce a new method to establish time-quantitative density in flat dynamical systems. First we give a shorter and different proof of our earlier result that a half-infinite geodesic on an arbitrary finite polysquare surface P is…

A compact set $E\subset {\Bbb R}^d$ is said to be arithmetically thick if there exists a positive integer $n$ so that the $n$-fold arithmetic sum of $E$ has non-empty interior. We prove the arithmetic thickness of $E$, if $E$ is uniformly…

We proved that the Maximal cusp is not dense on the Bers boundary of the Teichm\"uller space of infinite type Riemann surfaces satisfying some analytic conditions. This is a counterexample to the infinite-type case of the McMullen result…

We present constructions of symmetric complete sum-free sets in general finite cyclic groups. It is shown that the relative sizes of the sets are dense in $[0,\frac{1}{3}]$, answering a question of Cameron, and that the number of those…

The set of primes where a hypergeomeric series with rational parameters is $p$-adically bounded is known by [10] to have a Dirichlet density. We establish a formula for this Dirichlet density and conjecture that it is rare for the density…

This is an expanded version. We study relations among special values of zeta functions, invariants of toric varieties, and generalized Dedekind sums. In particular, we use invariants arising in the Todd class of a toric variety to give a…

We derive the algebraic relations of alternating and non-alternating finite harmonic sums up to the sums of depth~6. All relations for the sums up to weight~6 are given in explicit form. These relations depend on the structure of the index…

For any set $A$ of natural numbers with positive upper Banach density and any $k\geq 1$, we show the existence of an infinite set $B\subset{\mathbb N}$ and a shift $t\geq0$ such that $A-t$ contains all sums of $m$ distinct elements from $B$…
