Erd\H{o}s first introduced the idea of covering systems in 1950. Since then, much of the work in this area has concentrated on identifying covering systems that meet specific conditions on their moduli. Among the central open problems in…

We give a simple construction of $n\times n$ Boolean matrices with $\Omega(n^{4/3})$ zero entries that are free of $2 \times 2$ all-zero submatrices and have covering number $O(\log^4(n))$. This construction provides an explicit…

The paper is devoted to a generalized and simplified version of author's approach to covering theorems in bounded cohomology theory. The amenability assumptions are replaced by weaker and more natural acyclicity assumprions. In the case of…

It is shown that monotone Boolean functions on the Boolean cube capture the expected number of primes, under he usual identification by binary expansion. This answers a question posed by G.Kalai.

In 1950, Erd\H{o}s posed a question known as the minimum modulus problem on covering systems for $\mathbb{Z}$, which asked whether the minimum modulus of a covering system with distinct moduli is bounded. This long-standing problem was…

This thesis is split up into two parts: The first one concerns (pseudo)-holomorphic Hamiltonian systems, while the second part is about K\"ahler structures of complex coadjoint orbits. We begin the first part by investigating basic…

Bereg et al. (2012) introduced the Boxes Class Cover problem, which has its roots in classification and clustering applications: Given a set of n points in the plane, each colored red or blue, find the smallest cardinality set of…

First of all we give some reasons that "natural proofs" built not a barrier to prove P $\not=$ NP using Boolean complexity. Then we investigate the approximation method for its extension to prove super-polynomial lower bounds for the…

Covering systems were introduced by Erd\H{o}s in 1950. In the same article where he introduced them, he asked if the minimum modulus of a covering system with distinct moduli is bounded. In 2015, Hough answered affirmatively this long…

We prove a distribution-theoretic conjecture of Robert Coleman, thereby also obtaining an explicit description of the complete set of Euler systems for the multiplicative group over Q.

Fourier analysis on the Boolean hypercube is fundamentally defined as the orthogonal decomposition of the space of pseudo-Boolean functions with respect to the uniform probability measure. In this work, we propose an ANOVA-based…

We show that any measurable solution of the cohomological equation for a H\"older linear cocycle over a hyperbolic system coincides almost everywhere with a H\"older solution. More generally, we show that every measurable invariant…

Let $\Lambda$ be the limit set of an infinite conformal iterated function system and let $F$ denote the set of fixed points of the maps. We prove that the box dimension of $\Lambda$ exists if and only if \[ \overline{\dim}_{\mathrm B} F\leq…

Let $M$ be a non-compact connected Riemann surface of finite type, and $R\subset\subset M$ be a relatively compact domain such that $H_{1}(M,\Z)=H_{1}(R,\Z)$. Let $\tilde R\longrightarrow R$ be a covering. We study the algebra…

Reiner, Shaw and van Willigenburg showed that if two skew Schur functions s_A and s_B are equal, then the skew shapes A and B must have the same "row overlap partitions." Here we show that these row overlap equalities are also implied by a…

We consider the problem of representing Boolean functions exactly by "sparse" linear combinations (over $\mathbb{R}$) of functions from some "simple" class ${\cal C}$. In particular, given ${\cal C}$ we are interested in finding…
