Recently, Ben Green proved that the two-color van der Waerden number $w(3,k)$ is bounded from below by $k^{b_0(k)}$ where $b_0(k) = c_0\left(\frac{\log k }{\log \log k}\right)^{1/3}$. We prove a new lower bound of $k^{b(k)}$ with $b(k) =…

In this work, we extend the robust version of the Sylvester-Gallai theorem, obtained by Barak, Dvir, Wigderson and Yehudayoff, and by Dvir, Saraf and Wigderson, to the case of quadratic polynomials. Specifically, we prove that if…

An abstract, Hales-Jewett type extension of the polynomial van der Waerden Theorem [J. Amer. Math. Soc. 9 (1996),725-753] is established: Theorem. Let r,d,q \in \N. There exists N \in \N such that for any r-coloring of the set of subsets of…

For $N\geq n$, let $P_{N,n}$ be a random polytope in ${\mathbb R}^n$ with vertices $\pm X_i$, $1\leq i\leq N$, where $X_1,\dots,X_N$ are i.i.d standard Gaussian vectors in ${\mathbb R}^n$. Random polytopes $P_{N,n}$, as well as their duals,…

We prove that both multiple Rademacher system and Rademacher chaos possess the property of random unconditional convergence in the space $L_\infty$. This fact combined with some intimate connections between $L_\infty$-norms of linear…

Let $a_n$ be the random increasing sequence of natural numbers which takes each value independently with decreasing probability of order $n^{-\alpha}$, $0 < \alpha < 1/2$. We prove that, almost surely, for every measure-preserving system…

For integers $k\ge 3$ and $1\le \ell\le k-1$, we prove that for any $\alpha>0$, there exist $\epsilon>0$ and $C>0$ such that for sufficiently large $n\in (k-\ell)\mathbb{N}$, the union of a $k$-uniform hypergraph with minimum vertex degree…

We prove that a planar random walk with bounded increments and mean zero which is conditioned to stay in a cone converges weakly to the corresponding Brownian meander if and only if the tail distribution of the exit time from the cone is…

Permanents of random matrices with independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) entries have extensively studied in literature and convergence and concentration properties are known under varying assumptions on the distributions. In…

A well-known result of R\"odl and Ruci\'nski states that for any graph $H$ there exists a constant $C$ such that if $p \geq C n^{- 1/m_2(H)}$, then the random graph $G_{n,p}$ is a.a.s. $H$-Ramsey, that is, any $2$-colouring of its edges…

We prove a quantitative version of a Silverstein's Theorem on a condition for convergence in probability of the norm of random matrix. More precisely, we show that for a random matrix whose entries are i.i.d. random variables, $w_{i,j}$,…

One deals with r-regular bipartite graphs with 2n vertices. In a previous paper Butera, Pernici, and the author have introduced a quantity d(i), a function of the number of i-matchings, and conjectured that as n goes to infinity the…

Of the $(2H+1)^n$ monic integer polynomials $f(x)=x^n+a_1 x^{n-1}+\cdots+a_n$ with $\max\{|a_1|,\ldots,|a_n|\}\leq H$, how many have associated Galois group that is not the full symmetric group $S_n$? There are clearly $\gg H^{n-1}$ such…

A result of Simonovits and S\'os states that for any fixed graph $H$ and any $\epsilon > 0$ there exists $\delta > 0$ such that if $G$ is an $n$-vertex graph with the property that every $S \subseteq V(G)$ contains $p^{e(H)} |S|^{v(H)} \pm…

Let us draw a graph R on {0,1,...,n-1} by having an edge {i,j} with probability p_(|i-j|), where sum_i p_i is finite and let M_n=(n,<,R). For a first order sentence psi let a^n_psi be the probability of ``M_n satisfies psi''. We prove that…

R\"odl and Ruci\'nski (1990) established Ramsey's theorem for random graphs. In particular, for fixed integers $r$, $\ell\geq 2$ they showed that $\hat p_{K_\ell,r}(n)=n^{-\frac{2}{\ell+1}}$ is a threshold for the Ramsey property that every…

Hanson-Wright inequality provides a powerful tool for bounding the norm $|\xi|$ of a centered stochastic vector $\xi$ with sub-gaussian behavior. This paper extends the bounds to the case when $\xi$ only has bounded exponential moments of…

We prove an entropy version of van der Corput's difference theorem: the entropy of a sequence is equal to the entropy of its differences. This reveals a potential correspondence between the theory of uniform distribution mod 1 and entropy.…
