Geometric representations provide a principled framework for structuring the description of latent constructs and clarifying sources of uncertainty in their dimensional characterisation. We introduce a novel geometric representation of…

Goldston, Pintz and Y\i ld\i r\i m have shown that if the primes have `level of distribution' $\theta$ for some $\theta>1/2$ then there exists a constant $C(\theta)$, such that there are infinitely many integers $n$ for which the interval…

Given a relational structure M on n elements, let D(M) be the minimum quantifier rank of a first order formula identifying M up to isomorphism in the class of n-element structures. The obvious upper bound is D(M)\le n. We show that if the…

The hierarchical Dirichlet process is the cornerstone of Bayesian nonparametric multilevel models. Its generative model can be described through a set of latent variables, commonly referred to as tables within the popular restaurant…

We study equilibrium configurations of non-Euclidean plates, in which the reference metric is uniaxially periodic. This work is motivated by recent experiments on thin sheets of composite thermally responsive gels [1]. Such sheets bend…

Let $k$ and $n$ be natural numbers. Let $\omega_k(n)$ denote the number of distinct prime factors of $n$ with multiplicity $k$ as studied by Elma and the third author. We obtain asymptotic estimates for the first and the second moments of…

We prove a structural upper bound on the $p$-adic valuation of denominators of rationals belonging to a missing-digit set $K_{m,D}$, generalizing a key step in recent work of Lin, Wu, and Yang [arXiv:2603.24614] on reciprocals of…

We estimate from below the lower density of the set of prime numbers p such that p-1 has a prime factor of size at least p^c, where c lies in between 1/4 and 1/2. We also establish upper and lower bounds on the counting function of the set…

For a fixed polynomial $\Delta$, we study the number of polynomials $f$ of degree $n$ over $\mathbb F_q$ such that $f$ and $f+\Delta$ are both irreducible, an $\mathbb F_q[T]$-analogue of the twin primes problem. In the large-$q$ limit, we…

We investigate the behaviour of a certain additive function depending on prime divisors of specific integers lying in large gaps between consecutive primes. The result is obtained by a combination of results and ideas related to large gaps…

We propose a novel framework in high-dimensional factor models to simultaneously analyse multiple tensor time series, each with potentially different tensor orders and dimensionality. The connection between different tensor time series is…

Many systems exhibit complex interactions between their components: some features or actions amplify each other's effects, others provide redundant information, and some contribute independently. We present a simple geometric method for…

This paper investigates the dependence between primes in tuples through the analysis of the Hardy-Littlewood constant. A detailed analysis of the behavior of the constant for the pattern $(0,d)$ is conducted, depending on the arithmetic…

We discuss the two-dimensional isotropic antiferromagnet in the framework of gauge invariance. Gauge invariance is one of the most subtle useful concepts in theoretical physics, since it allows one to describe the time evolution of complex…

In this paper we develop a new approach for studying overlapping iterated function systems. This approach is inspired by a famous result due to Khintchine from Diophantine approximation. This result shows that for a family of limsup sets,…

We prove that the Hardy--Littlewood maximal operator $M$ is bounded on the variable Lebesgue space $L^{p(\cdot)}(X,d,\mu)$, with $1<p_-\le p_+<\infty$, over an unbounded space of homogeneous type $(X,d,\mu)$ with a Borel-semiregular measure…

According to the Wagstaff heuristic, the probability that a Mersenne number $M_p = 2^p-1$ is prime mainly depends on the size of the exponent $p$. We investigate whether the secondary arithmetic structure in $p-1$ is linked to noticeable…

Hyperuniformity, whereby the static structure factor (or density correlator) obeys $S(q)\sim q^{\varsigma}$ with $\varsigma> 0$, emerges at criticality in systems having multiple absorbing states, such as periodically sheared suspensions.…
