Let A be an alphabet and let F be a set of words with letters in A. We show that the sum of all words with letters in A with no consecutive subwords in F, as a formal power series in noncommuting variables, is the reciprocal of a series…
We present a new method to bound the cardinality of triple product sets in groups and give three applications. A new and unexpectedly short proof of the Plunnecke-Ruzsa sumset inequalities for Abelian groups. A new proof of a theorem of Tao…
As the main theorem, it is proved that a collection of minimal $PI$-flows with a common phase group and satisfying a certain algebraic condition is multiply disjoint if and only if the collection of the associated maximal equicontinuous…
Let $A$ and $B$ be finite subsets of $\mathbb{C}$ such that $|B|=C|A|$. We show the following variant of the sum product phenomenon: If $|AB|<\alpha|A|$ and $\alpha \ll \log |A|$, then $|kA+lB|\gg |A|^k|B|^l$. This is an application of a…
We give upper bounds for the differential Nullstellensatz in the case of ordinary systems of differential algebraic equations over any field of constants $K$ of characteristic $0$. Let $\vec{x}$ be a set of $n$ differential variables,…
Many fundamental questions in additive number theory (such as Goldbach's conjecture, Fermat's last theorem, and the Twin Primes conjecture) can be expressed in the language of sum and difference sets. As a typical pair of elements…
We prove new combinatorial results about polynomial configurations in large subsets of finite fields. Bergelson--Leibman--McCutcheon (2005) showed that for any polynomial $P(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ with $P(0) = 0$, if $A \subseteq…
Using the classic two's complement notation of signed integers, the fundamental arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication are identical to those for unsigned binary numbers. We introduce a Fibonacci-equivalent of…
The main goal of this article is to develop integration theory for absolute partition $L_\infty$-algebras, which are point-set models for the (spectral) partition Lie algebras of Brantner-Mathew where infinite sums of operations are…
Continuing our work on group-theoretic generalizations of the prime Ax-Katz Theorem, we give a lower bound on the $p$-adic divisibility of the cardinality of the set of simultaneous zeros $Z(f_1,f_2,\ldots,f_r)$ of $r$ maps…
Let $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ be a compact semialgebraic set and let $f$ be a polynomial nonnegative on $S$. Schm\"udgen's Positivstellensatz then states that for any $\eta > 0$, the nonnegativity of $f + \eta$ on $S$ can be certified by…
The aim of this note is to exploit a new relationship between additive combinatorics and the geometry of monomial projective curves. We associate to a finite set of non-negative integers $A=\{a_1,\cdots, a_n\}$ a monomial projective curve…
We investigate the occurrence of additive and multiplicative structures in random subsets of the natural numbers. Specifically, for a Bernoulli random subset of $\mathbb{N}$ where each integer is included independently with probability…
In this paper, we study several inverse problems associated with a fractional differential equation of the following form: \[ (-\Delta)^s u(x)+\sum_{k=0}^N a^{(k)}(x) [u(x)]^k=0,\ \ 0<s<1,\ N\in\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}\cup\{\infty\}, \] which is…
We introduce the concept of disjunctive sum of squares for certifying nonnegativity of polynomials. Unlike the popular sum of squares approach where nonnegativity is certified by a single algebraic identity, the disjunctive sum of squares…
P. Frankl and J. Pach proved the following uniform version of Sauer's Lemma. Let $n,d,s$ be natural numbers such that $d\leq n$, $s+1\leq n/2$. Let $\cF \subseteq {[n] \choose d}$ be an arbitrary $d$-uniform set system such that $\cF$ does…
The paper describes the algebraic structure of the graded algebra of differentially homogeneous polynomials of fixed finite order. We show that it is a finitely generated algebra, and we exhibit a minimal set of generators. Along the way,…
We give a new proof of the Hansen-Mullen irreducibility conjecture. The proof relies on an application of a (seemingly new) sufficient condition for the existence of elements of degree $n$ in the support of functions on finite fields. This…
We investigate the $p$-adic valuation of Weil sums of the form $W_{F,d}(a)=\sum_{x \in F} \psi(x^d -a x)$, where $F$ is a finite field of characteristic $p$, $\psi$ is the canonical additive character of $F$, the exponent $d$ is relatively…
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…
