Suppose that $A \subset \{1,\dots, N\}$ has no two elements differing by $p-1$, $p$ prime. Then $|A| \ll N^{1 - c}$.

For an elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ without complex multiplication, Lang and Trotter conjectured that the number of primes $p <X$ at which $E$ has a supersingular reduction is asymptotically equal to $c\sqrt{X}/\log X$, where $c>0$…

In this paper, we prove the Farrell-Jones Conjecture for the solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups with coefficients in an additive category. We also extend our results to groups of the form, Z[1/p] semidirect product with any virtually cyclic…

This paper is motivated by the following question in sieve theory. Given a subset $X\subset [N]$ and $\alpha\in (0,1/2)$. Suppose that $|X\pmod p|\leq (\alpha+o(1))p$ for every prime $p$. How large can $X$ be? On the one hand, we have the…

Seymour's Second-Neighborhood Conjecture states that every directed graph whose underlying graph is simple has at least one vertex $v$ such that the number of vertices of out-distance $2$ from $v$ is at least as large as the number of…

Let $G$ be the simple group ${\rm PSL}(3,2^p)$, where $p$ is a prime number. For any subgroup $H$ of $G$, we compute the M\"obius function of $H$ in the subgroup lattice of $G$. To this aim, we describe the intersections of maximal…

If $G$ is a finite classical group, linear or unitary in any characteristic, and orthogonal in odd characteristic, we give an approximate formula for $\chi(g)$ in which the error term is much smaller than the estimate, when $g\in G$ is an…

We show that the spectral set conjecture by Fuglede holds in the setting of cyclic groups of order $p^n q$, where $p$, $q$ are distinct primes and $n\geq1$. This means that a subset $E$ of such a group $G$ tiles the group by translation…

Let $\alpha \colon \mathbb{N} \to S^1$ be the Steinhaus multiplicative function: a completely multiplicative function such that $(\alpha(p))_{p\text{ prime}}$ are i.i.d.~random variables uniformly distributed on the complex unit circle…

In this article, we shall generalize a theorem due to Frobenius in group theory, which asserts that if $p$ is a prime and $p^{r}$ divides the order of a finite group, then the number of subgroups of order $p^{r}$ is $\equiv$ 1(mod $p$).…

Let $p$ be a prime, let $r$ and $q$ be powers of $p$, and let $a$ and $b$ be relatively prime integers not divisible by $p$. Let $C/\mathbb F_{r}(t)$ be the superelliptic curve with affine equation $y^b+x^a=t^q-t$. Let $J$ be the Jacobian…

Jones introduced unitary representations for the Thompson groups $F$ and $T$ from a given subfactor planar algebra. Some interesting subgroups arise as the stabilizer of certain vector, in particular the Jones subgroups $\vec{F}$ and…

Let p be an odd prime. We prove that every rank three p-group acts freely and smoothly on a product of three spheres. To construct this action, we first prove a generalization of a theorem of L\" uck and Oliver on constructions of…

Oort-Zink proved that a $p$-divisible group over a normal base in characteristic $p$ with constant Newton polygon is isogenous to a $p$-divisible group admitting a slope filtration. In this paper, we generalize this result to log…

We prove a natural generalization of Szep's conjecture. Given an almost simple group $G$ with socle not isomorphic to an orthogonal group having Witt defect zero, we classify all possible group elements $x,y\in G\setminus\{1\}$ with $G={\bf…

We prove the following version of the Loebl-Komlos-Sos Conjecture: For every alpha>0 there exists a number M such that for every k>M every n-vertex graph G with at least (0.5+alpha)n vertices of degree at least (1+alpha)k contains each tree…

Let $p$ be a prime. Tate and Voloch proved that a point of finite order in the algebraic torus cannot be $p$-adically too close to a fixed subvariety without lying on it. The current work is motivated by the analogy between torsion points…

For a positive integer $n$ let $\mathfrak{P}_n=\prod_{s_p(n)\ge p} p,$ where $p$ runs over all primes and $s_p(n)$ is the sum of the base $p$ digits of $n$. For all $n$ we prove that $\mathfrak{P}_n$ is divisible by all "small" primes with…

Hans Zassenhaus conjectured that every torsion unit of the integral group ring of a finite group $G$ is conjugate within the rational group algebra to an element of the form $\pm g$ with $g\in G$. This conjecture has been disproved recently…

Let $N$ be normal subgroup of a finite group $G$, $p$ be a prime, $P$ be a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ and $\theta$ be a $P$-invariant irreducible character of $N$. Suppose that $G/N$ is a $p$-solvable group. In this note we show that,…
