Let $\mathbb{N}$ denote the set of all nonnegative integers. Let $k\ge 3$ be an integer and $A_{0} = \{a_{1}, \dots{}, a_{t}\}$ $(a_{1} < \ldots< a_{t})$ be a nonnegative set which does not contain an arithmetic progression of length $k$.…

We consider the branching random walks in $d$-dimensional integer lattice with time--space i.i.d. offspring distributions. Then the normalization of the total population is a nonnegative martingale and it almost surely converges to a…

Alexandrov's inequalities imply that for any convex body $A$, the sequence of intrinsic volumes $V_1(A),\ldots,V_n(A)$ is non-increasing (when suitably normalized). Milman's random version of Dvoretzky's theorem shows that a large initial…

Green developed an arithmetic regularity lemma to prove a strengthening of Roth's theorem on arithmetic progressions in dense sets. It states that for every $\epsilon > 0$ there is some $N_0(\epsilon)$ such that for every $N \ge…

We consider numbers formed by concatenating some of the base b digits from additive functions f(n) that closely resemble the prime counting function \Omega(n). If we concatenate the last \lceil y \frac{\log \log \log n}{\log b} \rceil…

We show that if A is a subset of {1,...,N} contains no non-trivial three-term arithmetic progressions then |A|=O(N/ log^{1-o(1)} N). The approach is somewhat different from that used in arXiv:1007.5444.

The paper deals with two issues: the existence of universal models of a theory T and related properties when cardinal arithmetic does not give this existence offhand. In the first section we prove that simple theories (e.g., theories…

A famous theorem of Szemer\'edi asserts that given any density $0 < \delta \leq 1$ and any integer $k \geq 3$, any set of integers with density $\delta$ will contain infinitely many proper arithmetic progressions of length $k$. For general…

We consider integral area-minimizing $2$-dimensional currents $T$ in $U\subset \mathbb R^{2+n}$ with $\partial T = Q[\![\Gamma]\!]$, where $Q\in \mathbb N \setminus \{0\}$ and $\Gamma$ is sufficiently smooth. We prove that, if $q\in \Gamma$…

We prove bounds for the number of solutions to $$a_1 + \dots + a_k = a_1' + \dots + a_k'$$ over $N$-element sets of reals, which are sufficiently convex or near-convex. A near-convex set will be the image of a set with small additive…

We consider a translation and dilation invariant system consisting of k diagonal equations of degrees 1,2,...,k with integer coefficients in s variables, where s is sufficiently large in terms of k. We show via the Hardy-Littlewood circle…

Let $M_n^{(k)}$ denote the $k$th largest maximum of a sample $(X_1,X_2,...,X_n)$ from parent $X$ with continuous distribution. Assume there exist normalizing constants $a_n>0$, $b_n\in \mathbb{R}$ and a nondegenerate distribution $G$ such…

Let $q$ be an odd prime power. Combining the discussion of Varnavides and a recent theorem of Ellenberg and Gijswijt, we show that a subset $A\subset{\mathbb F}_q^n$ will contain many non-trivial three-term arithmetic progressions, whenever…

We show that whenever $s>k(k+1)$, then for any complex sequence $(\mathfrak a_n)_{n\in \mathbb Z}$, one has $$\int_{[0,1)^k}\left| \sum_{|n|\le N}\mathfrak a_ne(\alpha_1n+\ldots +\alpha_kn^k) \right|^{2s}\,{\rm d}{\mathbf \alpha}\ll…

This paper proves several assertions on sufficient conditions for the convergence of additive arithmetic functions to the normal distribution. A generalization of the Erdos-Kac theorem was proved and determines the rate of convergence of…

It was conjectured that the augmentation ideal of a dihedral quandle of even order $n>2$ satisfies $|\Delta^k(\text{R}_n)/\Delta^{k+1}(\text{R}_{n})|=n$ for all $k\geq 2$. In this article we provide a counterexample against this conjecture.

A number is normal in base $b$ if, in its base $b$ expansion, all blocks of digits of equal length have the same asymptotic frequency. The rate at which a number approaches normality is quantified by the classical notion of discrepancy,…

We prove the inverse conjecture for the Gowers U^{s+1}[N]-norm for all s >= 3; this is new for s > 3, and the cases s<3 have also been previously established. More precisely, we establish that if f : [N] -> [-1,1] is a function with || f…

We complete the study of points of bounded height on irreducible non-normal cubic surfaces by doing the point count on the cubic surface $W$ given by $t_0^2 t_2 = t_1^2 t_3$ over any number field. We show that the order of growth agrees…

Let $A$ be an excellent two-dimensional normal local ring containing an algebraically closed field and let $X\to \mathrm{Spec} (A)$ be a resolution of singularity. We prove a theorem giving a condition under which the dimension of the…
