It has been recently proved (by Croot, Lev and Pach and the subsequent work by Ellenberg and Gijswijt) that for a group $G=G_0^n$, where $G_0\ne \{1,-1\}^m$ is a fixed finite Abelian group and $n$ is large, any subset $A$ without…

We prove new lower bounds on the maximum size of sets $A\subseteq \mathbb{F}_p^n$ or $A\subseteq \mathbb{Z}_m^n$ not containing three-term arithmetic progressions (consisting of three distinct points). More specifically, we prove that for…

Elementary abelian groups are finite groups in the form of $A=(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^r$ for a prime number $p$. For every integer $\ell>1$ and $r>1$, we prove a non-trivial upper bound on the $\ell$-torsion in class groups of every…

For an abelian group $G$ and an integer $t > 0$, the modified Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv constant $s'_t(G)$ is the smallest integer $\ell$ such that any zero-sum sequence of length at least $\ell$ with elements in $G$ contains a zero-sum…

For a finite abelian group $G$ and a positive integer $d$, let $\mathsf s_{d \mathbb N} (G)$ denote the smallest integer $\ell \in \mathbb N_0$ such that every sequence $S$ over $G$ of length $|S| \ge \ell$ has a nonempty zero-sum…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group written additively, and let $r$ be a multiple of its exponent. The modified Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv constant $\mathsf{s}_r'(G)$ is the smallest integer $s$ such that every zero-sum sequence of length $s$…

Let $G$ be a multiplicatively written finite group. We denote by $\mathsf E(G)$ the smallest integer $t$ such that every sequence of $t$ elements in $G$ contains a product-one subsequence of length $|G|$. In 1961, Erd\H{o}s, Ginzburg and…

In this paper, we introduce new general frameworks for estimating the maximal dimension of Hilbert cubes contained in finite truncations of arbitrary sets. As applications, we investigate Hilbert cubes in a range of arithmetic sets,…

Let $G$ be an additive finite abelian group with exponent $\exp(G)=m$. For any positive integer $k$, the $k$-th generalized Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv constant $\mathsf s_{km}(G)$ is defined as the smallest positive integer $t$ such that every…

We give upper bounds for triples of subsets of a finite group such that the triples of elements that multiply to 1 form a perfect matching. Our bounds are the first to give exponential savings in powers of an arbitrary finite group.…

We determine the exact value of the $\eta$-constant and the multiwise Davenport constants for finite abelian groups of rank three having the form $G \simeq C_2 \oplus C_{n_2} \oplus C_{n_3}$ with $2 \mid n_2 \mid n_3$. Moreover, we…

Let $k$ and $n$ be fixed positive integers. For each prime power $q\geqslant k\geqslant 3$, we show that any subset $A\subseteq \mathbb{Z}_q^n$ free of $k$-term arithmetic progressions has size $|A|\leqslant c_k(q)^n$ with a constant…

We answer a number of questions of Erd\H{o}s on the existence of arithmetic progressions in $k$-full numbers (i.e. integers with the property that every prime divisor necessarily occurs to at least the $k$-th power). Further, we deduce a…
