The nonvanishing problem asks if a coefficient of a polynomial is nonzero. Many families of polynomials in algebraic combinatorics admit combinatorial counting rules and simultaneously enjoy having saturated Newton polytopes (SNP). Thereby,…

The notion of complex dimension of a one-dimensional Cantor set $C=\bigcap_{n=1}^\infty C_n$ dates back decades. It is defined as the set of poles of the meromorphic $\zeta$-function $\zeta(s)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}d_j^s$, where $\Re s>0$, and…

We study Widom factors for (a) monic orthogonal polynomials in $L^2$ with respect to the equilibrium measure of a compact set $K\subset\mathbb{R}$ and (b) residual polynomials normalized at an exterior point. Using weakly equilibrium Cantor…

The aim of this work is to give a pointfree description of the Cantor set. It can be shown that the Cantor set is homeomorphic to the $p$-adic integers $\mathbb{Z}_{p}:=\{x\in\mathbb{Q}_{p}: |x|_p\leq 1\}$ for every prime number $p$. To…

Cantor sets in \(\mathbb{R}\) are common examples of sets for which Hausdorff measures can be positive and finite. However, there exist Cantor sets for which no Hausdorff measure is supported and finite. The purpose of this paper is to try…

Let S be a smooth real surface in C^2 and let p\in S be a point at which the tangent plane is a complex line. How does one determine whether or not S is locally polynomially convex at such a p --- i.e. at a CR singularity ? Even when the…

We give in \mathbb{R}^6 a real analytic almost complex structure J, a real analytic hypersurface M and a vector v in the Levi null set at 0 of M, such that there is no germ of J-holomorphic disc f included in M with f(0)=0 and…

It is shown that any denumerable list L to which Cantor's diagonal method was applied is incomplete. However, this doesn't allow us to affirm that the cardinality of the real numbers of the interval [0, 1] is greater than the cardinality of…

Given a finite set $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$, points $a_1,a_2,\dotsc,a_{\ell} \in A$ form an $\ell$-hole in $A$ if they are the vertices of a convex polytope which contains no points of $A$ in its interior. We construct arbitrarily large…

Let $K$ be a compact convex set and $m$ be a positive integer. The covering functional of $K$ with respect to $m$ is the smallest $\lambda\in[0,1]$ such that $K$ can be covered by $m$ translates of $\lambda K$. Estimations of the covering…

Let $\{F_n\}$ be the sequence of the Fej\'er kernels on the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$. The first author recently proved that if $X$ is a separable Banach function space on $\mathbb{T}$ such that the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator $M$ is…

We answer a question by Judith Packer about the irreducibility of the wavelet representation associated to the Cantor set. We prove that if the QMF filter does not have constant absolute value, then the wavelet representations is reducible.

Let $r_k(N)$ be the largest cardinality of a subset of $\{1,\ldots,N\}$ which does not contain any arithmetic progressions (APs) of length $k$. In this paper, we give new upper and lower bounds for fractal dimensions of a set which does not…

This article exhibits a 4-dimensional combinatorial polytope that has no antiprism, answering a question posed by Bernt Lindst\"om. As a consequence, any realization of this combinatorial polytope has a face that it cannot rest upon without…

We give new arguments for sums and products of sufficient numbers of arbitrary central Cantor sets to produce large open intervals. We further discuss the same question for $C^1$ images of such central Cantor sets. This gives another…

The classical Steinitz theorem states that if the origin belongs to the interior of the convex hull of a set $S \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, then there are at most $2d$ points of $S$ whose convex hull contains the origin in the interior.…

We show that an integer-valued quadratic polynomial on $\mathbb{R}^2$ can not be injective on the integer lattice points of any affine convex cone if its discriminant is nonzero. A consequence is the non-existence of quadratic packing…

This paper provides some counterexamples to Cantor's contributions to the foundations of Set Theory. The first counterexample forces Cantor's Diagonal Method (DM) to yield one of the numbers in the target list. To study this anomaly, and…

In the space of polynomial maps of $\mathbb R^2$ of degree at least two, there are codimension $3$ laminations of maps with at least $3$ period doubling Cantor attractors. The leafs of the laminations are real-analytic and they have uniform…

In this paper we develop a tool to identify functions which have no iterative roots of any order. Using this, we prove that when $X$ is $[0,1]^m$, $\mathbb{R}^m$ or $S^1$, every non-empty open set of the space $\mathcal{C}(X)$ of continuous…
