Let $S$ and $T$ be subsets of $\mathbf{F}_q^n$. We show there are subsets $S'$ of $S$ and $T'$ of $T$ such that $S+T$ is the union of $S+T'$ and $S'+T$, with $|S'| + |T'|$ bounded by $c^n$ with $c < q$. The proof relies on the method of…

The Tautological Lamination arises in holomorphic dynamics as a combinatorial model for the geometry of 1-dimensional slices of the Shift Locus. In each degree $q$ the tautological lamination defines an iterated sequence of partitions of…

In this note, we provide some results concerning the structure of a set $A\subseteq \mathbb{Z}_n^{\times}$, which has non-empty subset sums equally distributed modulo $n$. Here, $\mathbb{Z}_n^{\times}$ denotes the set which contains all the…

Perfect colourings of the rings of cyclotomic integers with class number one are studied. It is shown that all colourings induced by ideals (q) are chirally perfect, and vice versa. A necessary and sufficient condition for a colouring to be…

We use the convolution method for arithmetic functions of several variables to deduce an asymptotic formula for the number of $k$-tuples of positive integers with components which are pairwise non-coprime and $\le x$. More generally, we…

Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian group with Haar measure $\mu$. For integers $n \geq 2$ and $H \geq 2$ and for any $n$-tuples $\mathbf{u}_1,\ldots, \mathbf{u}_H \in \mathbf{N}^n$, there exist measurable subsets $A_1,\ldots, A_n$ of $G$…

We prove that the HOMFLYPT polynomial of a link, colored by partitions with a fixed number of rows is a $q$-holonomic function. Specializing to the case of knots colored by a partition with a single row, it proves the existence of an…

Inspired by a famous characterization of perfect graphs due to Lov\'{a}sz, we define a graph $G$ to be sum-perfect if for every induced subgraph $H$ of $G$, $\alpha(H) + \omega(H) \geq |V(H)|$. (Here $\alpha$ and $\omega$ denote the…

We study density and partition properties of polynomial equations in prime variables. We consider equations of the form $a_1h(x_1) + \cdots + a_sh(x_s)=b$, where the $a_i$ and $b$ are fixed coefficients, and $h$ is an arbitrary integer…

Uniformly for small $q$ and $(a,q)=1$, we obtain an estimate for the weighted number of ways a sufficiently large integer can be represented as the sum of a prime congruent to $a$ modulo $q$ and a square-free integer. Our method is based on…

Our aim in this paper is to show that, for any $k$, there is a finite colouring of the set of rationals whose denominators contain only the first $k$ primes such that no infinite set has all of its finite sums and products monochromatic. We…

The \emph{generating chromatic number} of a group $G$, $\chigen(G)$, is the maximum number of colors $k$ such that there is a monochromatic generating set for each coloring of the elements of $G$ in $k$ colors. If no such maximal $k$…

We classify the twisted tensor products of a finite set algebra with a two elements set algebra using colored quivers obtained through considerations analogous to Ore extensions. This provides also a classification of entwining structures…

This paper realizes of two families of combinatorial symmetric functions via the complex character theory of the finite general linear group $\mathrm{GL}_{n}(\mathbb{F}_{q})$: chromatic quasisymmetric functions and vertical strip LLT…

If $G$ is a graph and $\mathcal{H}$ is a set of subgraphs of $G$, we say that an edge-coloring of $G$ is $\mathcal{H}$-polychromatic if every graph from $\mathcal{H}$ gets all colors present in $G$ on its edges. The…

Let $T$ be a digraph with vertices $u_1, \dots, u_t$ ($t\ge 2$) and let $H_1, \dots, H_t$ be digraphs such that $H_i$ has vertices $u_{i,j_i},\ 1\le j_i\le n_i.$ Then the composition $Q=T[H_1, \dots, H_t]$ is a digraph with vertex set…

Let $G$ be an abelian group. A tri-colored sum-free set in $G^n$ is a collection of triples $({\bf a}_i, {\bf b}_i, {\bf c}_i)$ in $G^n$ such that ${\bf a}_i+{\bf b}_j+{\bf c}_k=0$ if and only if $i=j=k$. Fix a prime $q$ and let $C_q$ be…

We introduce the notion of colorful minors, which generalizes the classical concept of rooted minors in graphs. A $q$-colorful graph is defined as a pair $(G, \chi),$ where $G$ is a graph and $\chi$ assigns to each vertex a (possibly empty)…

We derive combinatorial formulae for the modified Macdonald polynomial $H_{\lambda}(x;q,t)$ using coloured paths on a square lattice with quasi-cylindrical boundary conditions. The derivation is based on an integrable model associated to…

We show that there is no simple (e.g. finite or countable) basis for Borel graphs with infinite Borel chromatic number. In fact, it is proved that the closed subgraphs of the shift graph on $[\mathbb{N}]^{<\mathbb{N}}$ with finite (or,…
