Locating the zeros of quaternionic polynomials is a fundamental problem with significant implications across scientific and engineering disciplines, yet the noncommutative nature of quaternion multiplication makes it fundamentally more…

We prove a Szemer\'edi-Trotter type theorem and a sum-product estimate in the setting of finite quasifields. These estimates generalize results of the fourth author, of Garaev, and of Vu. We generalize results of Gyarmati and S\'ark\"ozy on…

We show that if a subset A of {1,...,N} does not contain any solutions to the equation x+y+z=3w with the variables not all equal, then A has size at most exp(-c(log N)^{1/7}) N, where c > 0 is some absolute constant. In view of Behrend's…

We prove several results which imply the following consequences. For any $\varepsilon>0$ and any sufficiently large prime $p$, if $\cI_1,\ldots, \cI_{13}$ are intervals of cardinalities $|\cI_j|>p^{1/4+\varepsilon}$ and $abc\not\equiv…

Let G be a finite Abelian group and A be a subset G\times G of cardinality at least |G|^2/(log log |G|)^c, where c>0 is an absolute constant. We prove that A contains a triple {(k,m), (k+d,m), (k,m+d)}, where d does not equal 0. This…

Let $\{a_1, . . . , a_n\}$ be a set of positive integers with $a_1 < \dots < a_n$ such that all $2^n$ subset sums are distinct. A famous conjecture by Erd\H{o}s states that $a_n>c\cdot 2^n$ for some constant $c$, while the best result known…

For an irrational real $\alpha$ and $\gamma\not \in \mathbb Z + \mathbb Z\alpha$ it is well known that $$ \liminf_{|n|\rightarrow \infty} |n| ||n\alpha -\gamma || \leq \frac{1}{4}. $$ If the partial quotients, $a_i,$ in the negative…

Various lower bounds are established for the entropy of sums, products and their combinations. First, we derive a prime-field analogue of a version of the entropy power inequality established by Tao over torsion-free groups. Next, we prove…

We extend the best known bound on the largest subset of {1,2,...,N} with no square differences to the largest possible class of quadratic polynomials.

We consider the set $$\mathcal{A} = \left\{10\cdot a + 11\cdot b \ | \gcd(a,b)=1, a\geq 1, b\geq 2a+1 \right\}.$$ We will prove that $\mathcal{A}$ is unbounded and that there exists a natural number $M\notin \mathcal{A}$ for which…

We obtain an estimate for the cubic Weyl sum which improves the bound obtained from Weyl differencing for short ranges of summation. In particular, we show that for any $\varepsilon>0$ there exists some $\delta>0$ such that for any coprime…

The sum-product phenomena over a finite extension K of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ is explored. The main feature of the results is the fact that the implied constants are independent of $p$.

We prove that there is a universal constant $C>0$ with the following property. Suppose that $n\in \mathbb{N}$ and that $\mathsf{A}=(a_{ij})\in M_n(\mathbb{R})$ is a symmetric stochastic matrix. Denote the second-largest eigenvalue of…

We show that the optimal constant in Erd\"{o}s' sum-free subset theorem cannot be larger than $11/28 \approx .393$.

In this article, we provide an explicit constant $C$ such that there is no regular ternary sum of generalized $m$-gonal numbers for any integer $m$ greater than $C$.

We give an upper bound for the exponential sum over squarefree integers. This establishes a conjecture by Br\"udern and Perelli.

In this paper, we derive explicit formulas for computing the roots of $ax^{2}+bx+c=0$ with $a$ being not invertible in split quaternion algebra. We also imitate the approach developed by Opfer, Janovska and Falcao etc. to verify our results…

In this article we discuss the transcendence of certain infinite sums and products by using the Subspace theorem. In particular we improve the result of Han\v{c}l and Rucki \cite{hancl3}.

We bound the Pythagoras number of a real projective subvariety: the smallest positive integer $r$ such that every sum of squares of linear forms in its homogeneous coordinate ring is a sum of at most $r$ squares. Enhancing existing methods,…

In 1971 Cusick proved that every real number $x\in[0,1]$ can be expressed as a sum of two continued fractions with no partial quotients equal to $1$. In other words, if we define a set $$ S(k):= \{ x\in[0,1] : a_n(x) \geq k \text{ for all }…
