We prove that any \(2\)-connected graph \(G\) on \(n\) vertices with minimum degree \(\delta(G) \ge \frac{n}{4}+2\) contains a \(2\)-connected subgraph of order \(k\) for every integer \(k\) with \(4 \le k \le n\). This improves a previous…

Given a sequence of real numbers $\{\psi(n)\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ with $0\leq \psi(n)<1$, let $W(\psi)$ denote the set of $x\in[0,1]$ for which $|xn-m|<\psi(n)$ for infinitely many coprime pairs $(n,m)\in\mathbb{N}\times\mathbb{Z}$. The…

Let $\Lambda$ be a numerical semigroup with embedding dimension $e(\Lambda)$. Define $c(\Lambda)$ to be one plus the largest integer not in $\Lambda$, and define $c'(\Lambda)$ to be the number of elements in $\Lambda$ less than…

In this paper we prove a basic theorem which says that if f : F_p^n -> [0,1] has the property that ||f^||_(1/3) is not too ``large''(actually, it also holds for quasinorms 1/2-\delta in place of 1/3), and E(f) = p^{-n} sum_m f(m) is not too…

We describe certain sufficient conditions for an infinitely divisible probability measure on a class of connected Lie groups to be embeddable in a continuous one-parameter convolution semigroup of probability measures. (Theorem 1.3). This…

A subalgebra pair of semisimple complex algebras B < A with inclusion matrix M is depth two if MM^t M < nM for some positive integer n and all corresponding entries. If A and B are the group algebras of finite group-subgroup pair H < G, the…

By a global approach, we prove the arithmetic fundamental lemma conjecture for unitary groups in $n$ variables over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ when $p\geq n$.

Let $\mathsf{E}/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve. By the modularity theorem, it admits a surjection from a modular curve $X_0(N) \to \mathsf{E}$, and the minimal degree among such maps is called the modular degree of $\mathsf{E}$. By the…

Feigin-Semikhatov conjecture, now established, states algebraic isomorphisms between the cosets of the subregular $\mathcal{W}$-algebras and the principal $\mathcal{W}$-superalgebras of type A by their full Heisenberg subalgebras. It can be…

By algebraic group theory, there is a map from the semisimple conjugacy classes of a finite group of Lie type to the conjugacy classes of the Weyl group. Picking a semisimple class uniformly at random yields a probability measure on…

This article contains a proof of the MDS conjecture for $k \leq 2p-2$. That is, that if $S$ is a set of vectors of ${\mathbb F}_q^k$ in which every subset of $S$ of size $k$ is a basis, where $q=p^h$, $p$ is prime and $q$ is not and $k \leq…

In this paper, we generalize the work of Tuenter to give an identity which completely characterizes the complement of a numerical semigroup in terms of its Ap\'ery sets. Using this result, we compute the $m$th power Sylvester and…

In 2022, Z.-W. Sun defined \begin{equation*} w_k^{(\alpha)}{(x)}=\sum_{j=1}^{k}w(k,j)^{\alpha}x^{j-1}, \end{equation*} where $k,\alpha$ are positive integers and $w(k,j)=\frac{1}{j}\binom{k-1}{j-1}\binom{k+j}{j-1}$. Let $(x)_{0}=1$ and…

For integers $n\ge s\ge 2$ let $e(n,s)$ denote the maximum of $|\mathcal F|,$ where $\mathcal F$ is a family of subsets of an $n$-element set and $\mathcal F$ contains no $s$ pairwise disjoint members. Half a century ago, solving a…

If $m \in \mathbb{N}$ and $A$ is a finite subset of $\bigcup_{k \in \mathbb{N} \setminus \{0,1\}} \{1,\ldots,m-1\}^k$, then we denote by \begin{align*} \mathscr{C}(m,A) = \left\{S\in \mathscr{S}_m \mid s_1+\cdots+s_k-m \in S \mbox{ if }…

The Frankl conjecture, also known as the union-closed sets conjecture, states that in any finite non-empty union-closed family, there exists an element in at least half of the sets. From an optimization point of view, one could instead…

Coclass theory has been a highly successful approach towards the investigation and classification of finite nilpotent groups. Here we suggest a similar approach for finite nilpotent semigroups. This differs from the group theory setting in…

Among other things, we prove that, for a doubling weight $w$, $0< p\leq\infty$, $r\in{\mathbb N}_0$, and $0<\alpha <r+1 - 1/\lambda_p$, we have \[ E_n(f)_{p, w_n} = O(n^{-\alpha}) \iff \omega_\varphi^{r+1}(f, n^{-1})_{p, w_n} =…

Let $f$ be a newform of weight $k\geq 2$, level $N$ with coefficients in a number field $K$, and $A$ the adjoint motive of the motive $M$ associated to $f$. We carefully discuss the construction of the realisations of $M$ and $A$, as well…

In 2005 Wolfgang Willems put forward a conjecture proposing a lower bound for the sum of squares of the degrees of the irreducible $p$-Brauer characters of a finite group $G$. We prove this conjecture for the prime $p=2$. For this we rely…
