Let $S= \{ p_1, \ldots, p_s\}$ be a finite, non-empty set of distinct prime numbers and $(U_{n})_{n \geq 0}$ be a linear recurrence sequence of integers of order $r$. For any positive integer $k,$ we define $(U_j^{(k)})_{j\geq 1}$ an…

We generalize an inequality for the determinant of a real matrix proved by A. Schinzel, to more general exterior products of vectors in Euclidean space. We apply this inequality to the logarithmic embedding of $S$-units contained in a…

It is a well-known conjecture, sometimes attributed to Frankl, that for any family of sets which is closed under the union operation, there is some element which is contained in at least half of the sets. Gilmer was the first to prove a…

Let $p\geq 3$ be a prime and $n\geq 1$ be an integer. Let $K\subseteq {\mathbb{F}_p}$ denote a fixed subset with $0\in K$. Let $A\subseteq ({\mathbb{F}_p})^n$ be an arbitrary subset such that $$\{…

In this paper, we give improved bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of pinned distance sets of planar sets with dimension strictly less than one. As the planar set becomes more regular (i.e., the Hausdorff and packing dimension become…

We show that under the assumption of a 24-term version of Fermat's Last Theorem, there exists an absolute constant c > 0 such that if S is a set of n > n_0 positive integers satisfying |S.S| < n^(1+c), then the sumset S.S satisfies |S+S| >>…

In this paper we establish some explicit and sharp estimates of the spectral gap and the log-Sobolev constant for mean field particles system, uniform in the number of particles, when the confinement potential have many local minimums. Our…

This work revolves around the two following questions: Given a convex body $C\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, a positive integer $k$ and a finite set $S\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ (or a finite Borel measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$), how many homothets of $C$…

Given a constant $k>1$ and a real valued function $K$ on the hyperbolic plane $\mathbb H^2$, we study the problem of finding, for any $\epsilon\approx 0$, a closed and embedded curve $u^\epsilon $ in $\mathbb H^2$ having geodesic curvature…

In this note we prove the existence of a set $E_0\subset\mathbb{R}^2$, different from a ball, which minimizes, among the convex sets that satisfy a suitable interior cone condition, the ratio \begin{equation} \label{eq:0}…

We show that if K is a self-similar set in the plane with positive length, then the distance set of K has Hausdorff dimension one.

For a given transcendental number $\xi$ and for any polynomial $P(X)=: \lambda_0+\cdots+\lambda_k X^k \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$, we know that $ P(\xi) \neq 0.$ Let $k \geq 1$ and $\omega (k, H)$ be the infimum of the numbers $r > 0$ satisfying the…

In this paper we will discuss optimal lower and upper density of non-parallel cylinder packings in $R^{3}$ and similar problems. The main result of the paper is a proof of the conjecture of K. Kuperberg for upper density (existence of a…

Let $1<p\not=2<\infty$, $\epsilon>0$ and let $T:\ell_p(\ell_2)\overset{into}{\rightarrow}L_p[0,1]$ be an isomorphism. Then there is a subspace $Y\subset \ell_p(\ell_2)$ $(1+\epsilon)$-isomorphic to $\ell_p(\ell_2)$ such that: $T_{|Y}$ is an…

We note an elementary proof of the existence and uniqueness of a solution $% \mu \in \mathbb{P(X)}$ to the equation $\mu =p\mu_{0}+q\hat{F}\mu $. Here $\mathbb{X}$ is a topological space, $\mathbb{P(X)}$ is the set of Borel measures of unit…

It is shown that if $A$ is a Borel subset of the first Heisenberg group, with Hausdorff dimension satisfying $2< \dim A < 3$, then the packing dimensions of vertical projections of $A$ are almost surely not less than $\dim A$, where both…

Let $B$ be a spatial region of width $2R$ and $\Phi$ a Klein-Gordon wave packet localized in $B$ at time zero. We show the inequality $S \leq 2\pi R E$; here, $S$ is the entropy of $\Phi$ contained in a region $B$, and $E$ is the energy…
