A new sufficient condition is proved for the existence of stochastic semigroups generated by the sum of two unbounded operators. It is applied to one-dimensional piecewise deterministic Markov processes, where we also discuss the existence…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ denote the set of all primes. $P_{1},P_{2},P_{3}$ are three subsets of $\mathcal{P}$. Let $\underline{\delta}(P_{i})$ $(i=1,2,3)$ denote the lower density of $P_{i}$ in $\mathcal{P}$, respectively. It is proved that if…

For a polynomial progression $$(x,\; x+P_1(y),\; \ldots,\; x+P_{t}(y)),$$ we define four notions of complexity: Host-Kra complexity, Weyl complexity, true complexity and algebraic complexity. The first two describe the smallest…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a von Neumann algebra with a normal semifinite faithful trace $\tau$. We prove that every continuous $m$-homogeneous polynomial $P$ from $L^p(\mathcal{M},\tau)$, with $0<p<\infty$, into each topological linear space $X$…

Let $E\subset \mathbb{R}$ be a closed set of Hausdorff dimension $\alpha\in (0, 1)$. Let $P: \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ be a polynomial without a constant term whose degree is bigger than one. We prove that if $E$ supports a probability…

We show that if $T$ is any of four semigroups of two elements that are not groups, there exists a finite dimensional associative $T$-graded algebra over a field of characteristic $0$ such that the codimensions of its graded polynomial…

Let $c_1, c_2, c_3$ be distinct complex numbers, and let $d\ge 3$ be an integer. We show that the set of all pairs $(a,b)\in \mathbb{C}\times \mathbb{C}$ such that each $c_i$ is preperiodic for the action of the polynomial $x^d+ax+b$ is not…

In this paper we shall consider the assymptotic growth of $|P_n(z)|^{1/k_n}$ where $P_n(z)$ is a sequence of entire functions of genus zero. Our results extend a result of J. Muller and A. Yavrian. We shall prove that if the sequence of…

By the classic results of Fricke and Klein, for every word $w$ in the free group $F(a,b)$ there exists a unique integer \it{trace polynomial} $f_w(x,y,z)\in Z[x,y,z]$ such that $Tr(w(A,B))=f_w(Tr A,Tr B,Tr AB)$. for all $A,B\in SL(2,C)$. We…

We give an alternative proof to the theorem recently proved by Louvaris, Wise and Yehuda, that the growth rates of finitely generated subgroups of $F_r$ are dense in $[1,2r-1]$.

Permutation polynomials over finite fields constitute an active research area and have applications in many areas of science and engineering. In this paper, two conjectures on permutation polynomials proposed recently by Wu and Li [19] are…

We show that there exists a bounded pattern of m consecutive primes for any m>0, that means a tuple H_m of m distinct non-negative integers h_i (i=1,2,...m) such that its translations contain arbitrarily long (finite) arithmetic…

We develop recent ideas of Elsholtz, Proske, and Sauermann to construct denser subsets of $\{1,\dots,N\}$ that lack arithmetic progressions of length $3$. This gives the first quasipolynomial improvement since the original construction of…

We investigate additive properties of sets $A,$ where $A=\{a_1,a_2,\ldots ,a_k\}$ is a monotone increasing set of real numbers, and the differences of consecutive elements are all distinct. It is known that $|A+B|\geq c|A||B|^{1/2}$ for any…

Bonamy et al \cite{BBEGLPS} showed that graphs of polynomial growth have finite asymptotic dimension. We refine their result showing that a graph of polynomial growth strictly less than $n^{k+1}$ has asymptotic dimension at most $k$. As a…

Let $p$ be a given modulus, let $u$ be prime to $p$, and consider the linear permutation $u\cdot n\pmod p$ of the residue system modulo $p$. Writing $\langle x\rangle_p$ to denote the least nonnegative residue of $x$ modulo $p$, we say that…

Let F be any field. Let p(F) be the characteristic of F if F is not of characteristic zero, and let p(F)=+\infty otherwise. Let A_1,...,A_n be finite nonempty subsets of F, and let $$f(x_1,...,x_n)=a_1x_1^k+...+a_nx_n^k+g(x_1,...,x_n)\in…

We prove new lower bounds on the maximum size of subsets $A\subseteq \{1,\dots,N\}$ or $A\subseteq \mathbb{F}_p^n$ not containing three-term arithmetic progressions. In the setting of $\{1,\dots,N\}$, this is the first improvement upon a…

We have primarily obtained three results on numbers of the form $p + 2^k$. Firstly, we have constructed many arithmetic progressions, each of which does not contain numbers of the form $p + 2^k$, disproving a conjecture by Erd\H{o}s as Chen…
