This is an article for a general mathematical audience on the author's work, joint with Terence Tao, establishing that there are arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions of primes. It is based on several one hour lectures, chiefly given at…
Motivated by questions arising in the study of the spectral theory of models of aperiodic order, we investigate sums of functions of semibounded closed subsets of the real line. We show that under suitable thickness assumptions on the sets…
Furstenberg and Glasner proved that for an arbitrary k in N, any piecewise syndetic set contains k term arithmetic progression and such collection is also piecewise syndetic in Z. They used algebraic structure of beta N. The above result…
Let $\mathcal C= \{k_1<k_2 < \cdots\}$ be Cantor set of integers, that is a set of integers with restricted digits modulo a base $b$, and suppose $0$ is one of the restricted digits. We show that $$ \liminf_N \Expectation_{n\in [N]} m(A\cap…
We prove that for any partition of a set which contains an infinite arithmetic (respectively geometric) progression into two disjoint subsets, at least one of these subsets contains an infinite number of triplets such that each triplet is…
The aim of this paper is to estimate the $L^2$-norms of vector-valued Riesz transforms $R_{\nu}^s$ and the norms of Riesz operators on Cantor sets in $\R^d$, as well as to study the distribution of values of $R_{\nu}^s$. Namely, we show…
This paper presents some limit theorems for certain functionals of moving averages of semimartingales plus noise which are observed at high frequency. Our method generalizes the pre-averaging approach (see [Bernoulli 15 (2009) 634--658,…
We determine asymptotic growth rates for lengths of monochromatic arithmetic progressions in certain automatic sequences. In particular, we look at (one-sided) fixed points of aperiodic, primitive, bijective substitutions and spin…
We show that infinitely many three-term arithmetic progressions $N, N+d, N+2d$ of powerful numbers exist with $d = 2\sqrt{N} + 1$. We further conjecture that infinitely many of these progressions consist of three consecutive terms in the…
We show that a topological Cantor set in the line has at most countably many real-analytic, onto self-maps.
We analyzed a large selection of classical musical pieces composed by Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert and Tchaikovsky, and found a surprising connection with mathematics. For each composer, we extracted the time intervals each note was…
The mathematics of musical intervals and scales has been extensively studied. Vastly simplified, our ears seem to prefer intervals whose frequency ratios have small numerator and denominator, such as 2:1 (octave), 3:2 (perfect fifth), 4:3…
Let $E\subset\rr$ be a closed set of Hausdorff dimension $\alpha$. We prove that if $\alpha$ is sufficiently close to 1, and if $E$ supports a probabilistic measure obeying appropriate dimensionality and Fourier decay conditions, then $E$…
This paper proves that arrangement of music is NP-hard when subject to various constraints: avoiding musical dissonance, limiting how many notes can be played simultaneously, and limiting transition speed between chords. These results imply…
We study the logic obtained by endowing the language of first-order arithmetic with second-order measure quantifiers. This new kind of quantification allows us to express that the argument formula is true in a certain portion of all…
We construct real numbers $\alpha$ for which the pair correlation function \[N^{-1}#\{m<n\le N:||\alpha m^2-\alpha n^2||\le XN^{-1}\}\] tends to $X$ as $N$ grows. Moreover we show for any "Diophantine" $\alpha$ that the pair correlation…
Schmidt games and the Cantor winning property give alternative notions of largeness, similar to the more standard notions of measure and category. Being intuitive, flexible, and applicable to recent research made them an active object of…
For processes involving structure functions and/or fragmentation functions, arguments that there is a part that dominates the NLO corrections are briefly reviewed. The arguments are tested against more recent NLO and in particular NNLO…
The natural lexicographic semigroupoids associated with Cantor product spaces indexed by countable linear orders are classified. Applications are given to the classification of triangular operator algebras which are direct limits of upper…
We develop a general method for lower bounding the variance of sequences in arithmetic progressions mod $q$, summed over all $q \leq Q$, building on previous work of Liu, Perelli, Hooley, and others. The proofs lower bound the variance by…
