The $p$-set, which is in a simple analytic form, is well distributed in unit cubes. The well-known Weil's exponential sum theorem presents an upper bound of the exponential sum over the $p$-set. Based on the result, one shows that the…

Let $A$ be a set in an abelian group $G$. For integers $h,r \geq 1$ the generalized $h$-fold sumset, denoted by $h^{(r)}A$, is the set of sums of $h$ elements of $A$, where each element appears in the sum at most $r$ times. If…

We prove a lower bound on the number of directions determined by Cartesian products $A\times A$ in the affine plane over the finite field $\mathbb F_{p^2}$. Our lower bound holds for sets of size $p^{2/3}<|A|<p$, which are not contained in…

We give sufficient conditions on planar domains for polynomials to be dense in the algebras A and A-infinity of the product of these domains, endowed with their natural topologies. We also characterize the uniform limits, with respect to…

The celebrated union-closed conjecture is concerned with the cardinalities of various subsets of the Boolean $d$-cube. The cardinality of such a set is equivalent, up to a constant, to its measure under the uniform distribution, so we can…

We develop a theory of $p$-adic continued fractions for a quaternion algebra $B$ over $\mathbb Q$ ramified at a rational prime $p$. Many properties holding in the commutative case can be proven also in this setting. In particular, we focus…

We define and study a pro-$p$ version of Sidki's weak commutativity construction. This is the pro-$p$ group $\mathfrak{X}_p(G)$ generated by two copies $G$ and $G^{\psi}$ of a pro-$p$ group, subject to the defining relators $[g,g^{\psi}]$…

We introduce several new constructions of finite posets with the number of linear extensions given by generalized continued fractions. We apply our results to the problem of the minimum number of elements needed for a poset with a given…

Zaremba's 1971 conjecture predicts that every integer appears as the denominator of a finite continued fraction whose partial quotients are bounded by an absolute constant. We confirm this conjecture for a set of density one.

Given a finitely generated multiplicative subgroup of rational numbers $\Gamma$, assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, we determine an asymptotic formula for average over prime numbers, powers of the order of the reduction group…

We prove new results on additive properties of finite sets $A$ with small multiplicative doubling $|AA|\leq M|A|$ in the category of real/complex sets as well as multiplicative subgroups in the prime residue field. The improvements are…

We prove that the module categories of Noether algebras (i.e., algebras module finite over a noetherian center) and affine noetherian PI algebras over a field enjoy the following product property: Whenever a direct product $\prod_{n \in…

For $p$ being a large prime number, and $A \subset \mathbb{F}_p$ we prove the following: $(i)$ If $A(A+A)$ does not cover all nonzero residues in $\mathbb{F}_p$, then $|A| < p/8 + o(p)$. $(ii)$ If $A$ is both sum-free and satisfies $A =…

We investigate certain finiteness questions that arise naturally when studying approximations modulo prime powers of p-adic Galois representations coming from modular forms. We link these finiteness statements with a question by K. Buzzard…

We prove that a certain family of sums of products of three binomials has alternating behavior modulo a prime $p$. To accomplish this we rewrite these sums as signed sums of products of three binomials, the better to handle $p$, and we give…

In this paper we improve the previously achieved upper bound on the corank of an equivariantly stable singularity for a group of prime order. We also prove that the maximal corank of a simple $\mathbb{Z}_p$-invariant germ tends to infinity…

We state a conjecture on the reduction modulo the defining characteristic of a unipotent representation of a finite reductive group.

We are interested to bound from below the number of distinct dot products determined by a finite set of points $P$ in the Euclidean plane. In this paper, we build on the work of B. Hanson, O. Roche-Newton, and S. Senger, to obtain the…

We provide structural criteria for some finite factorised groups $G = AB$ when the conjugacy class sizes in $G$ of certain $\pi$-elements in $A\cup B$ are either $\pi$-numbers or $\pi'$-numbers, for a set of primes $\pi$. In particular, we…

We study in this paper the sufficient conditions for enhanced continuity of random fields, i.e. such that the modulus of its continuity allows the factorable representation by the product of random variable on the deterministic module of…
