Extending Furstenberg's ergodic theoretic proof for Szemer\'edi's theorem on arithmetic progressions, Furstenberg and Weiss (2003) proved the following qualitative result. For every d and k, there exists an integer N such that no matter how…

We propose a numerical method for studying the cogrowth of finitely presented groups. To validate our numerical results we compare them against the corresponding data from groups whose cogrowth series are known exactly. Further, we add to…

We show that the (topological) full group of a minimal pseudogroup over the Cantor set satisfies various rigidity phenomena of topological dynamical and combinatorial nature. Our main result applies to its possible homomorphisms into other…

In the present work, we investigate real numbers whose sequence of partial quotients enjoys some combinatorial properties involving the notion of palindrome. We provide three new transendence criteria, that apply to a broad class of…

We show that for every positive integer $k$ there are positive constants $C$ and $c$ such that if $A$ is a subset of $\{1, 2, \dots, n\}$ of size at least $C n^{1/k}$, then, for some $d \leq k-1$, the set of subset sums of $A$ contains a…

An approach to Schubert calculus is to realize Schubert classes as concrete combinatorial objects such as Schubert polynomials. Using the polytope ring of the Gelfand-Tsetlin polytopes, Kiritchenko-Smirnov-Timorin realized each Schubert…

Mathematicians and philosophers have appealed to categoricity arguments in a surprisingly varied range of contexts. One familiar example calls on second-order categoricity in an attempt to show that the Continuum Hypothesis, despite its…

We prove that every distributive algebraic lattice with at most $\aleph\_1$ compact elements is isomorphic to the normal subgroup lattice of some group and to the submodule lattice of some right module. The $\aleph\_1$ bound is optimal, as…

In [Boltje,Hartmann: Permutation resolutions for Specht modules, J. Algebraic Combin. 34 (2011), 141-162], a chain complex was constructed in a combinatorial way which conjecturally is a resolution of the (dual of the) integral Specht…

Group cohomology of polynomial growth is defined for any finitely generated discrete group, using cochains that have polynomial growth with respect to the word length function. We give a geometric condition that guarantees that it agrees…

Let $f: X\times K\to \mathbb R$ be a separately continuous function and $\mathcal C$ a countable collection of subsets of $K$. Following a result of Calbrix and Troallic, there is a residual set of points $x\in X$ such that $f$ is jointly…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable group acting on a countable set $X$ by permutations. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the action to have a quasi-invariant mean with a given cocycle. This can be viewed as a combinatorial analogue…

Let P be a semigroup that admits an embedding into a group G. Assume that the embedding satisfies a certain Toeplitz condition and that the Baum-Connes conjecture holds for G. We prove a formula describing the K- theory of the reduced…

We continue the research of an extension $\widetilde{\mid}$ of the divisibility relation to the Stone-\v Cech compactification $\beta N$. First we prove that ultrafilters we call prime actually possess the algebraic property of primality.…

Kingman's Theorem on skeleton limits---passing from limits as $n\to \infty $ along $nh$ ($n\in \mathbb{N}$) for enough $h>0$ to limits as $t\to \infty $ for $t\in \mathbb{R}$---is generalized to a Baire/measurable setting via a topological…

In this paper we obtain some noncommutative multiplier theorems and maximal inequalities on semigroups. As applications, we obtain the corresponding individual ergodic theorems. Our main results extend some classical results of Stein and…

The aim of this paper is twofold: (1) On the one hand, the paper revisits the spectral analysis of semigroups in a general Banach space setting. It presents some new and more general versions, and provides comprehensible proofs, of…

Let k be a global field and let k_v be the completion of k with respect to v, a non-archimedean place of k. Let \mathbf{G} be a connected, simply-connected algebraic group over k, which is absolutely almost simple of k_v-rank 1. Let…

Szemer\'edi's theorem implies that there are $2^{o(n)}$ subsets of $[n]$ which do not contain a $k$-term arithmetic progression. A sparse analogue of this statement was obtained by Balogh, Morris, and Samotij, using the hypergraph container…

Algebraic Combinatorics originated in Algebra and Representation Theory, studying their discrete objects and integral quantities via combinatorial methods which have since developed independent and self-contained lives and brought us some…
