Let $(X_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with distribution $\mathbb P(X_1=1)=\mathbb P(X_1=-1)=1/2$. Let $F(\sigma)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty X_nn^{-\sigma}$. We prove that the following holds almost surely…

Recurrences of the form \begin{equation*} T(n,k) = (\alpha n+\beta k +\gamma) \ T(n-1,k) + (\alpha'n+\beta'k+\gamma')\ T(n-1,k-1)+\delta_{n,0}\delta_{k,0}. \end{equation*} show up as the recurrence for many well-studied combinatorial…

Suppose that A is a subset of the integers {1,...,N} of density a. We provide a new proof of a result of Green which shows that A+A contains an arithmetic progression of length exp(ca(log N)^{1/2}) for some absolute c>0. Furthermore we…

To a complex polynomial function $f$ with arbitrary singularities we associate the number of Morse points in a general linear Morsification $f_{t} := f - t\ell$. We produce computable algebraic formulas in terms of invariants of $f$ for the…

We study the function M(t,n) = Floor[ 1 / {t^(1/n)} ], where t is a positive real number, Floor[.] and {.} are the floor and fractional part functions, respectively. In a recent article in the Monthly, Nathanson proved that if log(t) is…

Given a countable o-minimal theory T, we characterize the Borel complexity of isomorphism for countable models of T up to two model-theoretic invariants. If T admits a nonsimple type, then it is shown to be Borel complete by embedding the…

Let ${\mathbb F}_q$ be the finite field of $q$ elements, where $q=p^r$ is a power of the prime $p$, and $\left(\beta_1, \beta_2, \dots, \beta_r \right)$ be an ordered basis of ${\mathbb F}_q$ over ${\mathbb F}_p$. For…

Let $\theta $ be a Salem number and $P(x)$ a polynomial with integer coefficients. It is well-known that the sequence $(\theta^n)$ modulo 1 is dense but not uniformly distributed. In this article we discuss the sequence $(P(\theta^n))$…

We prove an asymptotic for the number of additive triples of bijections $\{1,\dots,n\}\to\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$, that is, the number of pairs of bijections $\pi_1,\pi_2\colon \{1,\dots,n\}\to\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ such that the pointwise…

We present a data structure that stores a sequence $s[1..n]$ over alphabet $[1..\sigma]$ in $n\Ho(s) + o(n)(\Ho(s){+}1)$ bits, where $\Ho(s)$ is the zero-order entropy of $s$. This structure supports the queries \access, \rank\ and \select,…

We present new methods of generating Prouhet-Tarry-Escott partitions of arbitrarily large regularity. One of these methods generalizes the construction of the Thue-Morse sequence to finite alphabets with more than two letters. We show how…

We give asymptotics for shifted convolutions of the form $$\sum_{n < X} \frac{\sigma_{2u}(n,\chi)\sigma_{2v}(n+k,\psi)}{n^{u+v}}$$ for nonzero complex numbers $u,v$ and nontrivial Dirichlet characters $\chi,\psi$. We use the technique of…

It is shown that the isomorphism relation between continuous t-norms is Borel bireducible with the relation of order isomorphism between linear orders on the set of natural numbers, and therefore, it is a Borel complete equivalence…

Define $||n||$ to be the complexity of $n$, the smallest number of ones needed to write $n$ using an arbitrary combination of addition and multiplication. The set $\mathscr{D}$ of defects, differences $\delta(n):=||n||-3\log_3 n$, is known…

We present a recursive construction of a (2t + 1)-wise uniform set of permutations on 2n objects using a (2t + 1) - (2n, n, \cdot) combinatorial design, a t-wise uniform set of permutations on n objects and a (2t+1)-wise uniform set of…

Let m(n) be the number of ordered factorizations of n in factors larger than 1. We prove that for every eps>0 n^{rho} m(n) < exp[(log n)^{1/rho}/(loglog n)^{1+eps}] holds for all integers n>n_0, while, for a constant c>0, n^{rho} m(n) >…

Let $(s_2(n))_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ be a $0,1$-sequence such that, for any natural number $n$, $s_2(n) = 1$ if and only if $n$ is a sum of two squares. In a recent article, Tahay proved that the sequence $(s_2(n))_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ is not…

We introduce self-similar algebras and groups closely related to the Thue-Morse sequence, and begin their investigation by describing a character on them, the "spread" character.

This paper is part of the ongoing effort to study high-dimensional permutations. We prove the analogue to the Erd\H{o}s-Szekeres theorem: For every $k\ge1$, every order-$n$ $k$-dimensional permutation contains a monotone subsequence of…

This paper naturally extends and generalizes our previous work "Thue-Morse constant is not badly approximable", arXiv:1407.3182 [math.NT]. Here we consider the Laurent series $f_d(x) = \prod_{n=0}^\infty (1 - x^{-d^n})$, $d\in\mathbb{N}$,…
