Let $G$ be an anisotropic semisimple group over a totally real number field $F$. Suppose that $G$ is compact at all but one infinite place $v_0$. In addition, suppose that $G_{v_0}$ is $\mathbb{R}$-almost simple, not split, and has a Cartan…

We characterize the structure of maximum-size sum-free subsets of a random subset of an Abelian group $G$. In particular, we determine the threshold $p_c \approx \sqrt{\log n / n}$ above which, with high probability as $|G| \to \infty$,…

$A$ be an abelian variety over a number field $K$ of dimension $r$, $a_1, \dots, a_g \in A(K)$ and $F/K$ a finite Galois extension. We consider the density of primes $\frak p$ of $K$ such that the quotient $\bar{A}(k({\frak p}))/\langle…

For a finite group $G$ and an integer $r\ge 2$ let $$ P_r(G):=\frac{|Hom(\mathbb Z^r,G)|}{|G|^r}, $$ where $\Hom(\mathbb Z^r,G)$ is the set of pairwise commuting $r$-tuples in $G$. This paper studies rigidity and extremal behavior of the…

Let $\{p_j(n)\}_{j=1}^{\omega(n)}$ denote the increasing sequence of distinct prime factors of an integer $n$. We provide details for the proof of a statement of Erd\H{o}s implying that, for any function $\xi(n)$ tending to infinity with…

Let $G$ be a Frobenius group with an abelian Frobenius kernel $F$ and let $k$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. We obtain an upper bound for the number of degree $|F|$ algebraic extensions $K/k$ with Galois group $G$ with the norm of…

Given a finitely generated residually finite group $G$, the residual finiteness growth $\text{RF}_G: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ bounds the size of a finite group $Q$ needed to detect an element of norm at most $r$. More specifically, if…

Let $K$ be a number field, and let $G$ be a finitely generated subgroup of $K^\times$. Without relying on the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of primes $\mathfrak p$ of $K$ such that the order of…

Let G be any group and $a_1G_1,...,a_kG_k (k>1)$ be left cosets in G. In 1974 Herzog and Sch\"onheim conjectured that if $\Cal A=\{a_iG_i\}_{i=1}^k$ is a partition of G then the (finite) indices $n_1=[G:G_1],...,n_k=[G:G_k]$ cannot be…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ and of dimension $g$. Assume that, for each sufficiently large prime $\ell$, $A$ has a surjective residual modulo $\ell$ Galois representation. For $t\in \mathbb{Z}$ and $x>0$, denote…

For an abelian group $G$, $\vec{g}=(g_1,\ldots,g_d)\in G^d$ and $\epsilon=(\epsilon(1),\ldots,\epsilon(d))\in \{0,1\}^d$, let $\vec{g}\cdot \epsilon=\prod_{i=1}^{d}g_i^{\epsilon(i)}$. In this paper, it is shown that for a minimal system…

Let $p$ be a prime integer, $k$ be a $p$-closed field of characteristic $\neq p$, $T$ be a torus defined over $k$, $F$ be a finite $p$-group, and $1\to T \to G \to F \to 1$ be an exact sequence of algebraic groups. Extending earlier work of…

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…

Let $p$ be a prime number. A longstanding conjecture asserts that every finite non-abelian $p$-group has a non-inner automorphism of order $p$. In this paper, we prove that if $G$ is an odd order finite non-abelian monolithic $p$-group such…

$G$-operators, a class of differential operators containing the differential operators of minimal order annihilating Siegel's $G$-functions, satisfy a condition of moderate growth called Galochkin condition, encoded by a $p$-adic quantity,…

For a finite abelian group $(G,+)$, the constant $C(G)$ is defined to be the smallest natural number $k$ such that any sequence in $G$ having length $k$ will have a subsequence of consecutive terms whose sum is zero. For a subset…

We show that if a locally compact group $G$ is non-abelian then the amenability constant of its Fourier algebra is $\geq 3/2$, extending a result of Johnson (JLMS, 1994) who proved that this holds for finite non-abelian groups. Our lower…

Let $\left\{a_1, \dots, a_n\right\} \subset \mathbb{N}$ be a set of positive integers, $a_n$ denoting the largest element, so that for any two of the $2^n$ subsets the sum of all elements is distinct. Erd\H{o}s asked whether this implies…

Let G be a second countable, locally compact group and let f be a continuous Herz-Schur multiplier on G. Our main result gives the existence of a (not necessarily uniformly bounded) strongly continuous representation on a Hilbert space,…

In this paper we obtain a new lower bound on the Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem in the plane over prime fields. More precisely, we show that for any set $A\subset \mathbb{F}_p^2$ with $|A|\le p^{7/6}$, the number of distinct distances…
