Let $\lambda$ be a large enough cardinal number (assuming GCH it suffices to let $\lambda=\aleph_\omega$). If $X$ is a Banach space with $\text{dens}(X)\ge\lambda$, which admits a coarse (or uniform) embedding into any $c_0(\Gamma)$, then…

For any prime number p and any positive real number {\alpha}, we construct a finitely generated group {\Gamma} with p-gradient equal to {\alpha}. This construction is used to show that there exist uncountably many pairwise non-commensurable…

Given a unital $C(X)$-algebra $A$ discrete group $\Gamma$ and an action $\alpha: \Gamma\to \text{aut}(A)$ which leaves $C(X)$ invariant and such that $C(X)\rtimes_{\alpha,r} \Gamma$ is simple, and a $2$-cocycle $\omega$, we obtain a…

For $m\geq 1$, let $0<b_0<b_1<...<b_m$ and $\ e_0,e_1,...,e_m>0$ be fixed positive integers. Assume there exists a prime $p$ and an integer $t>0$ such that $p^t\mid b_0$, but $p^t\nmid b_{i}\ {\rm for}\ 1\leq i\leq m$. Then, we prove that…

Let $\phi$ be a birational map of the complex projective plane. We know that $\phi$ can be written as a composition of automorphisms of $\mathbb{P}^2_\mathbb{C}$ and the standard quadratic birational map $\sigma$. This writing, that is…

For a prime p and base b, the digit function delta(r) = floor(br/p) partitions the residues {1, ..., p-1} into b contiguous bins. The collision count C(g) records how many residues share a bin with their image under multiplication by g. We…

F. Luca proved for any fixed rational number $\alpha>0$ that the Diophantine equations of the form $\alpha\,m!=f(n!)$, where $f$ is either the Euler function or the divisor sum function or the function counting the number of divisors, have…

Let $X$ be a complex projective variety. Suppose that the group of birational automorphisms of $X$ contains finite subgroups isomorphic to $(\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})^r$ for $r$ fixed and $N$ arbitrarily large. We show that $r$ does not…

For a positive integer $n$, if $\sigma(n)$ denotes the sum of the positive divisors of $n$, then $n$ is called a deficient perfect number if $\sigma(n)=2n-d$ for some positive divisor $d$ of $n$. In this paper, we prove some results about…

We study some divisibility properties of multiperfect numbers. Our main result is: if $N=p_1^{\alpha_1}... p_s^{\alpha_s} q_1^{2\beta_1}... q_t^{2\beta_t}$ with $\beta_1, ..., \beta_t$ in some finite set S satisfies…

We study the Cox ring and monoid of effective divisor classes of $\overline{M}_{0,n} = Bl\mathbb{P}^{n-3}$, over a ring R. We provide a bijection between elements of the Cox ring, not divisible by any exceptional divisor section, and…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety. The Iitaka dimension of a divisor $D$ is an important invariant, but it does not only depend on the numerical class of $D$. However, there are several definitions of ``numerical Iitaka dimension'',…

The implementation of various methods for the determination of gamma through direct CP violation arising in the interference of b->c and b->u processes in charged as well as neutral B meson decays are considered. We show that the inclusion…

Let C be a general connected, smooth, projective curve of positive genus g. For each nonnegative integer i we give formulas for the number of pairs (P,Q) em C x C off the diagonal such that (g+i-1)Q-(i+1)P is linearly equivalent to an…

In this paper we study smooth toric Fano varieties using primitive relations and toric Mori theory. We show that for any irreducible invariant divisor D in a toric Fano variety X, we have $0\leq\rho_X-\rho_D\leq 3$, for the difference of…

Let p be any prime, and $p^(\nu_p(n!))$ the maximal power of $p$ dividing $n!$. It is proved that there exists a positive integer $n_0$, which depends only on $p$, such that $q^(\nu_q(n!)) < p^(\nu_p(n!))$ for all $n \ge n_0$ and all primes…

For an artinian ring $R$, the directed zero-divisor graph $\Gamma(R)$ is connected if and only if there is no proper one-sided identity element in $R$. Sinks and sources are characterized and clarified for finite ring $R$, especially, it is…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded open interval, let $p>1$ and $\gamma>0$, and let $m:\Omega\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ be a function that may change sign in $\Omega $. In this article we study the existence and nonexistence of positive solutions for…

We present a new approach to the problem of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs), based on positive definite functions on the unitary group. The method provides a new proof of the fact that there are at most $d+1$ MUBs in ${\mathbb C}^d$. It may…

For a $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano 3-fold $X$ on which $K_X$ is a canonical divisor, we investigate the geometry induced from the linear system $|-mK_X|$ in this paper and prove that the anti-$m$-canonical map $\varphi_{-m}$ is birational onto its…
