In this paper we study the problems of the following kind: For a pair of topological spaces $X$ and $Y$ find sufficient conditions that under every continuous map $f : X\to Y$ a pair of sufficiently distant points is mapped to a single…

Let $H$ be a Krull monoid with finite class group $G$ such that every class contains a prime divisor. Then every non-unit $a \in H$ can be written as a finite product of atoms, say $a=u_1 \cdot \ldots \cdot u_k$. The set $\mathsf L (a)$ of…

In this paper, we propose a generalization of Continuous Logic ([BBHU08]) where the distances take values in suitable co-quantales (in the way as it was proposed in [Fla97]). By assuming suitable conditions (e.g., being co-divisible,…

Let $S$ be a set of points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ contained in a circle and $P$ an unrestricted point set in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove the number of distinct distances between points in $S$ and points in $P$ is at least…

In the present paper and as an application of Roth's theorem concerning the rational approximation of algebraic numbers, we give a sufficient condition that will assure us that a series of positive rational terms is a transcendental number.…

In this paper, we consider a problem of counting rational points near self-similar sets. Let $n\geq 1$ be an integer. We shall show that for some self-similar measures on $\mathbb{R}^n$, the set of rational points $\mathbb{Q}^n$ is…

We formulate a generalization of Vojta's conjecture in terms of log pairs and variants of multiplier ideals. In this generalization, a variety is allowed to have singularities. It turns out that the generalized conjecture for a log pair is…

Let (P) denote the problem of existence of a point in the plane of a given triangle T, that is at rational distance from all the vertices of T. In this article, we provide a complete solution to (P) for all equilateral triangles.

We present and study new definitions of universal and programmable universal unary functions and consider a new simplicity criterion: almost decidability of the halting set. A set of positive integers S is almost decidable if there exists a…

In this paper we study the generalized Erdos-Falconer distance problems in the finite field setting. The generalized distances are defined in terms of polynomials, and various formulas for sizes of distance sets are obtained. In particular,…

The cardinal direction calculus (CDC) proposed by Goyal and Egenhofer is a very expressive qualitative calculus for directional information of extended objects. Early work has shown that consistency checking of complete networks of basic…

We prove asymptotics for Serre's problem on the number of diagonal planar conics with a rational point and use this to put forward a new conjecture on counting the number of varieties in a family which are everywhere locally soluble.

We prove that the $abc$-Conjecture implies upper bounds on Zsigmondy sets that are uniform over families of unicritical polynomials over number fields. As an application, we use the $abc$-Conjecture to prove that there exist uniform bounds…

Let X be a real normed vector space and dim X \ge 2. Let d>0 be a fixed real number. We prove that if x,y \in X and ||x-y||/d is a rational number then there exists a finite set {x,y} \subseteq S(x,y) \subseteq X with the following…

A flag of a finite set $S$ is a set $f$ of non-empty proper subsets of $S$ such that $A\subseteq B$ or $B\subseteq A$ for all $A,B\in f$. The set $\{|A|:A\in f\}$ is called the type of $f$. Two flags $f$ and $f'$ are in general position…

In this work, using maximal elements in generalized Weierstrass semigroups and its relationship with pure gaps, we extend the results in \cite{CMT2024} and provide a way to completely determine the set of pure gaps at several rational…

It was proved by S. Mazur and S. Ulam in 1932 that every isometric surjection between normed real vector spaces is affine. We generalize the Mazur--Ulam theorem and find necessary and sufficient conditions under which distance-preserving…

The paper concerns the problem whether a nonseparable $\C(K)$ space must contain a set of unit vectors whose cardinality equals to the density of $\C(K)$ such that the distances between every two distinct vectors are always greater than…

For a normal F-finite variety $X$ and a boundary divisor $\Delta$ we give a uniform description of an ideal which in characteristic zero yields the multiplier ideal, and in positive characteristic the test ideal of the pair $(X,\Delta)$.…
