Let $W$ denote the $n$-dimensional affine space over the finite field $\mathbb F_q$. We prove here a Bollob\'as-type upper bound in the case of the set of affine subspaces. We give a construction of a pair of families of affine subspaces,…

Let $L$ be a set of lines of an affine space over a field and let $S$ be a set of points with the property that every line of $L$ is incident with at least $N$ points of $S$. Let $D$ be the set of directions of the lines of $L$ considered…

We derive optimal estimates for the Bergman kernel and the Bergman metric for certain model domains in $\mathbb{C}^2$ near boundary points that are of infinite type. Being unbounded models, these domains obey certain geometric constraints…

Given a subset of real numbers $A$ with small product $AA$ we obtain a new upper bound for the additive energy of $A$. The proof uses a natural observation that level sets of convolutions of the characteristic function of $A$ have small…

The topological entropy of piecewise affine maps is studied. It is shown that singularities may contribute to the entropy only if there is angular expansion and we bound the entropy via the expansion rates of the map. As a corollary we…

We show that any group with arbitrarily large finite quotients admits generating sets with respect to which it has arbitrarily large finite dead-end depth. This extends a joint result with Riley and partially answers a question asked there.

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group, let $\theta$ be an involution of $\Gamma$, and let $\rho$ be an irreducible complex representation of $\Gamma$. We bound $\dim \rho^{\Gamma^{\theta}}$ in terms of the smallest dimension of a faithful…

As explained in detail in the prologue to this manuscript, boundedness of weak solutions for general classes of elliptic equations in divergence form is a classic tool for achieving higher regularity. We propose here some global boundedness…

We prove quantitative upper bounds for the number of quadratic twists of a given elliptic curve $E/\Fp_q(C)$ over a function field over a finite field that have rank $\geq 2$, and for their average rank. The main tools are constructions and…

We prove that thick groups (and more generally thick graphs) have trivial Floyd boundary. This shows a wide class of finitely generated groups that are non-relatively hyperbolic have trivial Floyd boundary. In addition to giving new…

We compute some dependence coefficients for the stationary Markov chain whose transition kernel is the Perron-Frobenius operator of an expanding map $T$ of $[0, 1]$ with a neutral fixed point. We use these coefficients to prove a central…

Let $ VG $ be a finite primitive affine permutation group, where $ V $ is a vector space of dimension $ d $ over the prime field $ \mathbb{F}_p $ and $ G $ is an irreducible linear group on $ V $. We prove that if $ p $ divides $ |G| $,…

In this paper, we introduce an algebro-geometric formulation for Siegel's theorem using an improvement of Lang's version of Roth's theorem over finitely generated fields of characteristic zero. In fact, we prove that, for an affine open…

A topological lower bound on the Skyrme energy which depends explicity on the pion mass is derived. This bound coincides with the previously best known bound when the pion mass vanishes, and improves on it whenever the pion mass is…

In a previous paper {GN2} an effective solution of the lattice point counting problem in general domains in semisimple S-algebraic groups and affine symmetric varieties was established. The method relies on the mean ergodic theorem for the…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field. Let $G$ be a non-trivial connected unipotent group, which acts effectively on an affine variety $X.$ Then every non-empty component $R$ of the set of fixed points of $G$ is a $K$-uniruled variety,…

Let $S$ be a set of $n\geq 7$ points in the plane, no three of which are collinear. Suppose that $S$ determines $n+1$ directions. That is to say, the segments whose endpoints are in $S$ form $n+1$ distinct slopes. We prove that $S$ is, up…

Kelly's theorem states that a set of $n$ points affinely spanning $\mathbb{C}^3$ must determine at least one ordinary complex line (a line passing through exactly two of the points). Our main theorem shows that such sets determine at least…

The vacuum dependence on boundary conditions in quantum field theories is analysed from a very general viewpoint. From this perspective the renormalization prescriptions not only imply the renormalization of the couplings of the theory in…

Let $A\subset \mathbb{F}_p$ with density 1/2. We call a set $A$ almost affine invariant under an affine transformation $\phi(x)=ax+b$ if \[|A \triangle \phi(A)| =o(p).\] We determine that, the threshold value of $K$ such that $A$ is almost…
