Given an infinite subset $\mathcal A \subseteq\mathbb N$, let $A$ denote its smallest $N$ elements. There is a rich and growing literature on the question of whether for typical $\alpha\in[0,1]$, the pair correlations of the set $\alpha A…

Let $G$ be a $\sigma$-finite abelian group, i.e. $G=\bigcup_{n\geq 1} G_n$ where $(G_n)_{n\geq 1}$ is a non decreasing sequence of finite subgroups. For any $A\subset G$, let $\underline{\mathrm{d}}(A):=\liminf_{n\to\infty}\frac{|A\cap…

We review the new approach to the theory of nonlinear $W$-algebras which is developed recently and called {\it conformal linearization}. In this approach $W$-algebras are embedded as subalgebras into some {\it linear conformal} algebras…

We know that any finite abelian group $G$ appears as a subgroup of infinitely many multiplicative groups $\mathbb{Z}_n^\times$ (the abelian groups of size $\phi(n)$ that are the multiplicative groups of units in the rings…

For an Abelian group $G$, any homomorphism $\mu\colon G\otimes G\rightarrow G$ is called a \textsf{multiplication} on $G$. The set $\text{Mult}\,G$ of all multiplications on an Abelian group $G$ is an Abelian group with respect to addition.…

Two infinite sequences A and B of non-negative integers are called additive complements, if their sum contains all sufficiently large integers. Let $A(x)$ and $B(x)$ be the counting functions of A and B. In this paper, we extend the results…

In this article we aim to develop from first principles a theory of sum sets and partial sum sets, which are defined analogously to difference sets and partial difference sets. We obtain non-existence results and characterisations. In…

We study pairs of subsets $A, B$ of a compact abelian group $G$ where the sumset $A+B:=\{a+b: a\in A, b\in B\}$ is small. Let $m$ and $m_{*}$ be Haar measure and inner Haar measure on $G$, respectively. Given $\varepsilon>0$, we classify…

For a finite group $G$, $N_\infty$ operads encode collections of norm maps, and by work of Blumberg--Hill and Rubin their homotopy category is equivalent to the poset of $G$--transfer systems on the subgroup lattice of $G$. In \cite{ABB+25}…

We prove that finite sets of real numbers satisfying $|AA| \leq |A|^{1+\epsilon}$ with sufficiently small $\epsilon > 0$ cannot have small additive bases nor can they be written as a set of sums $B+C$ with $|B|, |C| \geq 2$. The result can…

In this article, we first describe all nonempty sets of integers S with the property that for all n and m in S, not necessarily distinct, the set {n-m,n+m} intersected with S consists of a single element. These are the sets with at most two…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group. The critical number ${\rm cr}(G)$ of $G$ is the least positive integer $\ell$ such that every subset $A\subseteq G\setminus\{0\}$ of cardinality at least $\ell$ spans $G$, i.e., every element of $G$ can be…

Given a complemented poset P, we can assign to every element x of P the set x^+ of all its complements. We study properties of the operator ^+ on P, in particular, we are interested in the case when x^+ forms an antichain or when ^+ is…

Let $W\subset GL(V)$ be a complex reflection group, and ${\mathscr A}(W)$ the set of the mirrors of the complex reflections in $W$. It is known that the complement $X({\mathscr A}(W))$ of the reflection arrangement ${\mathscr A}(W)$ is a…

Let A be a subset of an abelian group G. We say that A is sum-free if there do not exist x,y and z in A satisfying x + y = z. We determine, for any G, the cardinality of the largest sum-free subset of G. This equals c(G)|G| where c(G) is a…

We explore the concept of additive diameters in the context of group representations, unifying various noncommutative Waring-type problems. Given a finite-dimensional representation $\rho \colon G \to \mathrm{GL}(V)$ and a subspace $U \leq…

A semigroup of binary relations (under composition) on a set $X$ is \emph{complemented} if it is closed under the taking of complements within $X\times X$. We resolve a 1991 problem of Boris Schein by showing that the class of finite unary…

An abelian lattice-ordered group, or abelian $\ell$-group, is an abelian group equipped with a compatible lattice ordering. In this paper, we introduce two multi-sorted extensions of abelian lattice-ordered groups inspired by the zero-set…

Building on previous work by Lambert, Plagne and the third author, we study various aspects of the behavior of additive bases in infinite abelian groups and semigroups. We show that, for every infinite abelian group $T$, the number of…

A graph G is well-covered if all its maximal independent sets are of the same cardinality. Assume that a weight function w is defined on its vertices. Then G is w-well-covered if all maximal independent sets are of the same weight. For…
