We study the interpolation group whose elements are suitable pairs of formal power series. This group has a faithful representation into infinite lower triangular matrices and carries thus a natural structure as a Lie group. The matrix…

In this paper we show that for every $2\leq n\in \mathbb{N}$, the statement "there is an $n$-entangled set, but there are no $n+1$-entangled sets" is consistent. We also prove some theorems which improve our understanding of entangled sets…

In this paper, we generalize Minkowski's theorem. This theorem is usually stated for a centrally symmetric convex body and a lattice both included in $\mathbb{R}^n$. In some situations, one may replace the lattice by a more general set for…

A set A of natural numbers is finitely embeddable in another such set B if every finite subset of A has a rightward translate that is a subset of B. This notion of finite embeddability arose in combinatorial number theory, but in this paper…

Let $\mathrm{d}(A)$ be the asymptotic density (if it exists) of a sequence of integers $A$. For any real numbers $0\leq\alpha\leq\beta\leq 1$, we solve the question of the existence of a sequence $A$ of positive integers such that…

This article is an exposition of recent results on self-similar sets, asserting that if the dimension is smaller than the trivial upper bound then there are almost overlaps between cylinders. We give a heuristic derivation of the theorem…

A set is called recurrent if its minimal automaton is strongly connected and birecurrent if it is recurrent as well as its reversal. We prove a series of results concerning birecurrent sets. It is already known that any birecurrent set is…

An increasing sequence $(a_n)$ of positive integers which satisfies $\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}>1+\eta$ for some positive $\eta$ is called a lacunary sequence. It has been known for over twenty years that every lacunary sequence is strong sweeping…

We extend the theory of atomized semilattices to the infinite setting. We show that it is well-defined and that every semilattice is atomizable. We also study atom redundancy, focusing on complete and finitely generated semilattices and…

Combining two results from machine learning theory we prove that a formula is NIP if and only if it satisfies uniform definability of types over finite sets (UDTFS). This settles a conjecture of Laskowski.

We show that a family of extremely thin sets satisfy the Erd\H{o}s similarity conjecture. These examples lie outside the range covered by recent work of Shmerkin and Yavicoli \cite{ShmerkinYavicoli2025}. As we shall see, they have small…

We prove that the integral points are potentially Zariski dense in the complement of a reduced effective singular anticanonical divisor in a smooth del Pezzo surface, with the exception of $\mathbb{P}^2$ minus three concurrent lines (for…

We study point sets arising from cut-and-project constructions. An important class is weak model sets, which include squarefree numbers and visible lattice points. For such model sets, we give a non-trivial upper bound on their pattern…

We study the complex interpolation and derivation process induced by a family of Orlicz sequence spaces. We present a concrete example of interpolation family of three spaces inducing a centralizer that cannot be obtained from complex…

Given partial information about a set, we are interested in fully recovering the original set from what is given. If a set encodes itself robustly, any partial information about the set suffices to fully recover the information about the…

We consider the covering of a ball in certain normed spaces by its congruent subsets and show that if the finite number of sets is not greater than the dimensionality of the space, then the centre of the ball either belongs to the interior…

An ideal $I$ is a family of subsets of positive integers $\mathbb{N}$ which is closed under taking finite unions and subsets of its elements. A sequence $(x_k)$ of real numbers is said to be lacunary $I$-convergent to a real number $\ell$,…

In this paper we shall introduce some nonmeasurable and completely nonmeasurable subsets of the plane with various additional properties, e.g. being Hamel basis, intersecting each line in a strong Luzin / Sierpi\'nski set. Also some…

We prove interpolation results in the spirit of the Marcinkiewicz theorem. The operators considered in this article are defined on M\"untz spaces, which are not dense subspaces of $L^p$, and for which the classical interpolation theory…

A numerical semigroup is an additive subsemigroup of the natural numbers that contains zero and has finite complement. A numerical semigroup is irreducible if it cannot be written as an intersection of numerical semigroups properly…
