For certain families of functions $\{f_q\}$ mapping $K^{nv_q} \to K^m$, where $K$ is a complete, nonarchimedean local field, we find a set $E$ of large Hausdorff dimension with the property that $f_q(x_1, \ldots, x_{v_q})$ is nonzero for…
Recently, Einsiedler and the authors provided a bound in terms of escape of mass for the amount by which upper-semicontinuity for metric entropy fails for diagonal flows on homogeneous spaces $\Gamma\backslash G$, where $G$ is any connected…
We introduce the notion of tubular dimension, and give a formula for it. As an application we show that every invariant measure of a $C^{1+\gamma}$ diffeomorphism of a closed Riemannian manifold admits an asymptotic local product structure…
We give multidimensional generalizations of several transformation formulae for basic hypergeometric series of a specific type. Most of the upper parameters of the series differ multiplicatively from corresponding lower parameters by a…
This paper highlights an unexpected connection between expansions of real numbers to noninteger bases (so-called {\em $\beta$-expansions}) and the infinite derivatives of a class of self-affine functions. Precisely, we extend Okamoto's…
Diagonalization of a certain operator in irreducible representations of the positive discrete series of the quantum algebra U_q(su(1,1)) is studied. Spectrum and eigenfunctions of this operator are found in an explicit form. These…
We prove a ''dimension expansion'' version of the Elekes-R\'onyai theorem for trivariate real analytic functions: If $f$ is a trivariate real analytic function, then $f$ is either locally of the form $g(h(x)+k(y)+l(z))$, or the following is…
We define an algebra $\mathcal{U}_0$ using a simplified set of generators for the quantum toroidal algebra $U_q(sl_{n+1}, tor)$ and show that there exists an epimorphism from $\mathcal{U}_0$ to $U_q(sl_{n+1}, tor)$. We derive a closed…
We show that, for any $0<\gamma<1/2$, any $(\alpha,\beta)\in\mathbb{R}^2$ except on a set with Hausdorff dimension about $\sqrt{\gamma}$, any small $0<\varepsilon<1$ and any large $N\in\mathbb{N}$, the number of integers $n\in[1,N]$ such…
This paper is an exposition, with some new applications, of our results on the growth of entropy of convolutions. We explain the main result on $\mathbb{R}$, and derive, via a linearization argument, an analogous result for the action of…
Let $\theta$ be an irrational number and $\varphi: {\mathbb N} \to {\mathbb R}^{+}$ be a monotone decreasing function tending to zero. Let $$E_\varphi(\theta) =\Big\{y \in \mathbb R: \|n\theta- y\|<\varphi(n), \ {\text{for infinitely…
Let $x \in [0,1)$ with continued fraction expansion $[a_1(x),a_2(x),\dots]$, and let $\phi:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{R}^+$ be a non-decreasing function. We consider the numbers whose continued fraction expansions contain at least two partial…
The Hausdorff dimension of the set of points that are covered infinitely many times by a sequence of randomly distributed balls in the unit cube can be expressed in terms of the sizes of the balls. This note presents a new proof of the…
We consider subsets of the (symbolic) sequence space that are invariant under the action of the semigroup of multiplicative integers. A representative example is the collection of all 0-1 sequences $(x_k)$ such that $x_k x_{2k}=0$ for all…
This paper is about the positive part $U_q^+$ of the $q$-deformed enveloping algebra $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$. The literature contains at least three PBW bases for $U_q^+$, called the Damiani, the Beck, and the alternating PBW…
This work introduces two new notions of dimension, namely the unimodular Minkowski and Hausdorff dimensions, which are inspired from the classical analogous notions. These dimensions are defined for unimodular discrete spaces, introduced in…
Let $S \subseteq \mathbb{N}$ have the property that for each $k \in S$ the set $(S - k) \cap \mathbb{N} \setminus S$ has asymptotic density $0$. We prove that there exists a basic sequence $Q$ where the set of numbers $Q$-normal of all…
We establish several new fractal and number theoretical phenomena connected with expansions which are generated by infinite linear iterated function systems. First of all we show that the systems $\Phi$ of cylinders of generalized L\"uroth…
We present a unifying approach to the study of entropies in Mathematics, such as measure entropy, topological entropy, algebraic entropy, set-theoretic entropy. We take into account discrete dynamical systems, that is, pairs $(X,T)$, where…
The L\"uroth expansion of a real number $x\in (0,1]$ is the series \[ x= \frac{1}{d_1} + \frac{1}{d_1(d_1-1)d_2} + \frac{1}{d_1(d_1-1)d_2(d_2-1)d_3} + \cdots, \] with $d_j\in\mathbb{N}_{\geq 2}$ for all $j\in\mathbb{N}$. Given $m\in…
