Let $c$ be a positive odd integer and $R$ a set of $n$ primes coprime with $c$. We consider equations $X + Y = c^z$ in three integer unknowns $X$, $Y$, $z$, where $z > 0$, $Y > X > 0$, and the primes dividing $XY$ are precisely those in…

For a nontrivial measurable set on the real line, there are always exceptional points, where the lower and upper densities of the set are neither zero nor one. We quantify this statement, following work by V. Kolyada, and obtain the…

We establish the existence of a positive solution to the problem $$-\Delta u+V(x)u=f(u),\qquad u\in D^{1,2}(\mathbb{R}^{N}),$$ for $N\geq3$, when the nonlinearity $f$ is subcritical at infinity and supercritical near the origin, and the…

In this paper, we address the Skolem problem for the $k$-generalized Pell sequence $(P_n^{(k)})_{n\geq2-k}$ extended to negative indices. We focus on identifying and bounding the indices $n<0$ for which $P_n^{(k)}=0.$ In particular, we…

Let $s\geq 8$ be an integer and $P$ be a set of primes with relative lower density greater than $\sqrt{1-\min\{s,16\}/32}$. We prove that every sufficiently large integer $n\equiv s({\rm mod}24)$ can be represented by a sum of $s$ squares…

We construct weak solutions to a class of distribution dependent SDE, of type $dX(t)=b\left( X(t), \displaystyle\frac{d\mathcal{L}_{X(t)}}{dx}(X(t))\right) dt+\sigma\left( X(t),\displaystyle\frac{d\mathcal{L}_{X(t)}}{dt}(X(t))\right) dW(t)$…

We prove that every weak solution to a certain class of infinitely degenerate quasilinear equations is continuous. An essential feature of the operators we consider is that their Fefferman-Phong associated metric may be non doubling with…

We study the Gibbs statistics of high-density hard-core configurations on a unit square lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$, for a general Euclidean exclusion distance $D$. As a by-product, we solve the disk-packing problem on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ for disks…

Paper written in French -- English abstract: This paper proves a particular case of a conjecture of N. Kuhn. This conjecture is as follows. Consider the Gabriel-Krull filtration of the category U of unstable modules. Let U_n, n>=0, be the…

A previous work found that a nonminimally coupled theory of gravity can, under appropriate conditions, give rise to an additional contribution to the field equations interpreted as dark matter [1]: in particular, the density of this dark…

We prove that for every $d\geq 2$, deciding if a pure, $d$-dimensional, simplicial complex is shellable is NP-hard, hence NP-complete. This resolves a question raised, e.g., by Danaraj and Klee in 1978. Our reduction also yields that for…

By providing a variant of Weyl's inequality for general systems of forms we establish the Hardy-Littlewood asymptotic formula for the density of integer zeros of systems of quadratic or cubics forms under weaker rank conditions than…

The density bound for schedulability for general pinwheel instances is $\frac{5}{6}$, but density bounds better than $\frac{5}{6}$ can be shown for cases in which the minimum element $m$ of the instance is large. Several recent works have…

In this study, we find continued fraction expansion of sqrt(d) when d=a^2+2a where a is positive integer. We consider the integer solutions of the Pell equation x^2-(a^2+2a)y^2=N when N={-1,+1,-4,+4}. We formulate the n-th solution…

We prove that the density of non-tempered (at any $p$-adic place) cuspidal representations for $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{Z})$, varying over a family of representations ordered by their infinitesimal characters, is small -- confirming Sarnak's…

We study the nodal set of solutions to equations of the form $$ (-\Delta)^s u = \lambda_+ (u_+)^{q-1} - \lambda_- (u_-)^{q-1}\quad\text{in $B_1$}, $$ where $\lambda_+,\lambda_->0, q \in [1,2)$, and $u_+$ and $u_-$ are respectively the…

It is proved that \[ \sum_{\chi \bmod q}N(\sigma , T, \chi) \lesssim_{\epsilon} (qT)^{7(1-\sigma)/3+\epsilon}, \] where $N(\sigma, T, \chi)$ denote the number of zeros $\rho = \beta + it$ of $L(s, \chi)$ in the rectangle $\sigma \leq \beta…

Let $1<c<\frac{1787}{1502}$ and $N$ be a sufficiently large real number. In this paper, it is proved that for any arbitrarily large number $E>0$ and for almost all real $R \in (N,2N]$, the Diophantine inequality…

We are concerned with the nodal set of solutions to equations of the form \begin{equation*} -\Delta u = \lambda_+ \left(u^+\right)^{q-1} - \lambda_- \left(u^-\right)^{q-1} \quad \text{in $B_1$} \end{equation*} where $\lambda_+,\lambda_- >…

For a finite abelian group $G$ written additively, and a non-empty subset $A\subset [1,\exp(G)-1]$ the weighted Davenport Constant of $G$ with respect to the set $A$, denoted $D_A(G)$, is the least positive integer $k$ for which the…
