Let $\varepsilon>0$. We construct an explicit, full-measure set of $\alpha \in[0,1]$ such that if $\gamma \in \mathbb{R}$ then, for almost all $\beta \in[0,1]$, if $\delta \in \mathbb{R}$ then there are infinitely many integers $n\geq 1$…
Proofs of the fundamental theorem of algebra can be divided up into three groups according to the techniques involved: proofs that rely on real or complex analysis, algebraic proofs, and topological proofs. Algebraic proofs make use of the…
Let $ \lfloor {x} \rfloor $ denote the greatest integer less than or equal to a real number $x$. Given real numbers $0<\alpha_1 < \alpha_2 < \cdots< \alpha_k < 1$ satisfying a certain condition, we show that there are infinitely many…
This article surveys results on graded algebras and their Hilbert series. We give simple constructions of finitely generated graded associative algebras $R$ with Hilbert series $H(R,t)$ very close to an arbitrary power series $a(t)$ with…
We call an $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$ regainingly approximable if there exists a computable nondecreasing sequence $(a_n)_n$ of rational numbers converging to $\alpha$ with $\alpha - a_n < 2^{-n}$ for infinitely many $n \in \mathbb{N}$. We…
The distribution of $\alpha p$ modulo one, where $p$ runs over the rational primes and $\alpha$ is a fixed irrational real, has received a lot of attention. It is natural to ask for which exponents $\nu>0$ one can establish the infinitude…
"Spatial" or "geometric" quantiles are the only multivariate quantiles coping with both high-dimensional data and functional data, also in the framework of multiple-output quantile regression. This work studies spatial quantiles in the…
Let $\alpha$ be an algebraic number of degree $d\ge 3$ having at most one real conjugate and let $K$ be the algebraic number field ${\mathbf Q}(\alpha)$. For any unit $\epsilon$ of $K$ such that ${\mathbf Q}(\alpha\epsilon)=K$, we consider…
Let $K$ be a number field, $k\geq 2$ an integer, $(K^*)^k$ the $k$-fold direct product of $K^*$ with coordinatewise multiplication, and $\Gamma$ a finitely generated subgroup of rank $r$ of $(K^*)^k$. Further, let $H(\alpha )$ denote the…
Let $\varphi:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a continuously differentiable function on an interval $J\subset\mathbb{R}$ and let $\boldsymbol{\alpha}=(\alpha_1,\alpha_2)$ be a point with algebraic conjugate integer coordinates of degree…
The main results in this thesis deal with the representation growth of certain classes of groups. In chapter $1$ we present the required preliminary theory. In chapter $2$ we introduce the Congruence Subgroup Problem for an algebraic group…
In this paper we prove that all irrational numbers from totally real cubic number fields are well approximable by rationals (i.e. the partial quotients in the continued fraction expansion of such a number are unbounded). This settles the…
For each algebraic number $\alpha$ and each positive real number $t$, the $t$-metric Mahler measure $m_t(\alpha)$ creates an extremal problem whose solution varies depending on the value of $t$. The second author studied the points $t$ at…
For a square-free integer $t$, Byeon \cite{byeon} proved the existence of infinitely many pairs of quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{D})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{tD})$ with $D > 0$ such that the class numbers of all of them are indivisible…
Let $\xi, \zeta$ be quadratic real numbers in distinct quadratic fields. We establish the existence of effectively computable, positive real numbers $\tau$ and $c$, such that, for every integer $q$ with $q > c$ we have $$ \max\{\|q \xi \|,…
Let $\alpha$ be a real algebraic number of degree $d \geq 3$ and let $\beta \in \mathbb Q(\alpha)$ be irrational. Let $\mu$ be a real number such that $(d/2) + 1 < \mu < d$ and let $C_0$ be a positive real number. We prove that there exist…
We show that if $\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_k$ are algebraic numbers, then $$|A+\lambda_1\cdot A+\dots+\lambda_k\cdot A|\geq H(\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_k)|A|-o(|A|)$$ for all finite subsets $A$ of $\mathbb{C}$, where…
For the purposes of this paper supercongruences are congruences between terminating hypergeometric series and quotients of $p$-adic Gamma functions that are stronger than those one can expect to prove using commutative formal group laws. We…
We show that for any integer $N$, there are only finitely many cuspidal algebraic automorphic representations of ${\rm GL}_n$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, with $n$ varying, whose conductor is $N$ and whose weights are in the interval…
For a tuple $(\theta_1,..,\theta_M)$ of complex number, buliding on the approximation techniques in earlier papers of this series, this paper engages in deducing lower estimates on the transcendence degree of the field generated by…
