A finite set of points in $\mathbb R^d$ is called almost-equidistant if among any three distinct points in the set, some two are at unit distance. We prove that an almost-equidistant set in $\mathbb R^d$ has cardinality at most $5d^{13/9}$.

A Q-system is a unitary version of a separable Frobenius algebra object in a C*-tensor category. In a recent joint work with P. Das, S. Ghosh and C. Jones, the author has categorified Bratteli diagrams and unitary connections by building a…

In this paper, we investigate relationships between $|\seq(A)|$ and $|\Part_{\fin}(A)|$ in the absence of the Axiom of Choice, where $\seq(A)$ is the set of finite sequences of elements in a set $A$ and $\Part_{\fin}(A)$ is the set of…

For any odd prime $p,$ we construct an infinite family of pairs of imaginary quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d}),\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d+1})$ whose class numbers are both divisible by $p.$ One of our theorems settles Iizuka's conjecture for…

Planar quadratic differential systems occur in many areas of applied mathematics. Although more than one thousand papers have been written on these systems, a complete understanding of this family is still missing. Classical problems, and…

We show that if $E \subset \mathbb{F}_q^d$, the $d$-dimensional vector space over the finite field with $q$ elements, and $|E| \geq \rho q^d$, where $ q^{-\frac{1}{2}}\ll \rho \leq 1$, then $E$ contains an isometric copy of at least $c…

In this short note, an example of a semifield of order 128 containing the Galois field $\mathbb{F}_8$ is given. Up to our knowledge, this is the first example supporting the following problem by Cordero and Chen (2013): ``There exist…

We classify perimeter dominant triangles whose side lengths are in $\sqrt3\mathbb N$ and whose area is in $\frac{\sqrt3}4\mathbb N$. There is one exceptional example, which is equilateral, and three infinite families determined by certain…

For a finite dimensional semisimple Lie algebra ${\frak{g}}$ and a root $q$ of unity in a field $k,$ we associate to these data a double quiver $\bar{\cal{Q}}.$ It is shown that a restricted version of the quantized enveloping algebras…

A Q-set is an uncountable set of reals all of whose subsets are relative $G_\delta$ sets. We prove that, for an arbitrary uncountable cardinal kappa, there is consistently a Q-set of size $\kappa$ whose square is not Q. This answers a…

Let $Q$ be the matrix $\displaystyle \begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}$ in $GL_2(\mathbb{F}_q)$ where $\mathbb{F}_q$ is a finite field, and let $G$ be the finite cyclic group generated by $Q$. We consider the action of $G$ on the…

We extend the set of known infinite families of Frobenius seaweed Lie subalgebras of $\mathfrak{sl}_{n}$ to include a family which is the first non-trivial general family containing algebras whose associated meanders have an arbitrarily…

It is shown that a finite group in which more than 3/4 of the elements are involutions must be an elementary abelian 2-group. A group in which exactly 3/4 of the elements are involutions is characterized as the direct product of the…

This paper studies a subset of the free semi-group $F_k$ with letters in a field $k$ which has some interesting arithmetic and combinatorial properties.

There is a large literature on cover-free families of finite sets, because of their many applications in combinatorial group testing, cryptographic and communications. This work studies the generalization of cover-free families from sets to…

We construct and study fields F with the property that F has infinitely many extensions of some fixed degree, but E*/(E*)^n is finite for every finite extension E of F and every n>0.

I suggest that the current situation in quantum field theory (QFT) provides some reason to question the universal validity of ontological reductionism. I argue that the renormalization group flow is reversible except at fixed points, which…

The Erd\H os-Falconer distance problem in $\mathbb{Z}_q^d$ asks one to show that if $E \subset \mathbb{Z}_q^d$ is of sufficiently large cardinality, then $\Delta(E) := \{(x_1 - y_1)^2 + \dots + (x_d - y_d)^2 : x, y \in E\}$ satisfies…

Let $Q$ be a finite quiver without loops. Then there is an admissible ideal $I$ such that the algebra $kQ/I$ has global dimension at most two and is (strongly) quasi-hereditary. In addition some other (strongly) quasi-hereditary algebras…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, and $T$ a positive integer. In this article we find a sharp estimative of the total number of monic irreducible binomials in $\mathbb F_q[x]$ of degree less or equal to $T$, when $T$…
