Mignosi, Restivo, and Salemi (1998) proved that for all $\epsilon > 0$ there exists an integer $N$ such that all prefixes of the Fibonacci word of length $\geq N$ contain a suffix of exponent $\alpha^2-\epsilon$, where $\alpha =…
We construct a categorification of the modular data associated with every family of unipotent characters of the spetsial complex reflection group $G(d,1,n)$. The construction of the category follows the decomposition of the Fourier matrix…
In this paper we provide two results. The first one consists an infinitary version of the Furstenberg-Weiss Theorem. More precisely we show that every subset $A$ of a homogeneous tree $T$ such that $\frac{|A\cap T(n)|}{|T(n)|}\geq\delta$,…
Folkman's Theorem asserts that for each $k \in \mathbb{N}$, there exists a natural number $n = F(k)$ such that whenever the elements of $[n]$ are two-coloured, there exists a set $A \subset [n]$ of size $k$ with the property that all the…
For a fixed positive integer $m$ and any partition $m = m_1 + m_2 + \cdots + m_e$ , there exists a sequence $\{n_{i}\}_{i=1}^{k}$ of positive integers such that $$m=\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}}+\cdots+\frac{1}{n_{k}},$$ with the property…
We investigate the homology representation of the symmetric group on rank-selected subposets of subword order. We show that the homology module for words of bounded length, over an alphabet of size $n,$ decomposes into a sum of tensor…
The notion of 'bifurcating continued fractions' is introduced. Two coupled sequences of non-negative integers are obtained from an ordered pair of positive real numbers in a manner that generalizes the notion of continued fractions. These…
For $k\geq 2$, the $k$-generalized Fibonacci sequence $(F_n^{(k)})_{n}$ is defined by the initial values $0,0,\ldots,0,1$ ($k$ terms) and such that each term afterwards is the sum of the $k$ preceding terms. In this paper, we search for…
Using dynamics, Furstenberg defined the concept of a central subset of positive integers and proved several powerful combinatorial properties of central sets. Later using the algebraic structure of the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification,…
Given a finite set of roots of unity, we show that all power sums are non-negative integers iff the set forms a group under multiplication. The main argument is purely combinatorial and states that for an arbitrary finite set system the…
The article presents results on the well-known problem concerning the structure of integer polynomials $p_n(z; x, y)$, which define multiplication laws in $n$-valued groups $\mathbb{G}_n$ over the field of complex numbers $\mathbb{C}$. We…
We discuss implications of the following statement about the representation theory of symmetric groups: every integer appears infinitely often as an irreducible character evaluation, and every nonnegative integer appears infinitely often as…
Common meadows are commutative and associative algebraic structures with two operations (addition and multiplication) with additive and multiplicative identities and for which inverses are total. The inverse of zero is an error term…
Let us denote by $F_n$ the $n$-th Fibonacci number. In this paper we show that for a fixed integer $y$ there exists at most one integer exponent $a>0$ such that the Diophantine equation $F_n+F_m=y^a$ has a solution $(n,m,a)$ in positive…
The generalized Fibonacci cube $Q_d(f)$ is the subgraph of the $d$-cube $Q_d$ induced on the set of all strings of length $d$ that do not contain $f$ as a substring. It is proved that if $Q_d(f) \cong Q_d(f')$ then $|f|=|f'|$. The key tool…
Let $F_1=1,F_2=1,\ldots$ be the Fibonacci sequence. Motivated by the identity $\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{F_{2^k}}=\frac{7-\sqrt{5}}{2}$, Erd\"os and Graham asked whether $\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{F_{n_k}}$ is…
Some interesting chaos phenomena have been found in the difference of prime numbers. Here we discuss a theme about the sum of two prime numbers, Goldbach conjecture. This conjecture states that any even number could be expressed as the sum…
It is a well known result that for $\beta\in(1,\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2})$ and $x\in(0,\frac{1}{\beta-1})$ there exists uncountably many $(\epsilon_{i})_{i=1}^{\infty}\in {0,1}^{\mathbb{N}}$ such that…
Every positive integer may be written uniquely as a base-$\beta$ decomposition--that is a legal sum of powers of $\beta$--where $\beta$ is the dominating root of a non-increasing positive linear recurrence sequence. Guided by earlier work…
A famous result due to Grothendieck asserts that every continuous linear operator from $\ell_{1}$ to $\ell_{2}$ is absolutely $(1,1)$-summing. If $n\geq2,$ however, it is very simple to prove that every continuous $n$-linear operator from…
