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…

A random vector ${\bf X}$ is weakly stable iff for all $a,b \in \mathbb{R}$ there exists a random variable $\Theta$ such that $a{\bf X} + b {\bf X}' \stackrel{d}{=} {\bf X} \Theta$, where $X'$ is an independent copy of $X$ and $\Theta$ is…

Given a finite poset $\mathcal P$ and two distinct elements $x$ and $y$, we let $\operatorname{pr}_{\mathcal P}(x \prec y)$ denote the fraction of linear extensions of $\mathcal P$ in which $x$ precedes $y$. The balance constant…

A recent upper bound by Le and Solomon [STOC '23] has established that every $n$-node graph has a $(1+\varepsilon)(2k-1)$-spanner with lightness $O(\varepsilon^{-1} n^{1/k})$. This bound is optimal up to its dependence on $\varepsilon$; the…

The purpose of this note is to draw attention to problems related to a concept called majority colouring recently studied by Kreutzer, Oum, Seymour, van der Zypen and Wood. They raised a problem of determining, for a natural number $k$, the…

We give sharp conditions for the limiting Korn-Maxwell-Sobolev inequalities \begin{align*} \lVert P\rVert_{{\dot{W}}{^{k-1,\frac{n}{n-1}}}(\mathbb{R}^n)}\le…

Let $d\ge 3$ and $p>0$. Let $\|x\|_p$ denote the $\ell_p$ (quasi-)norm of a $d$-dimensional vector $x$. Holevo and Utkin \cite{HU26} conjectured that for $0<p\le 1$, \[ \min \left\{\frac{\|x\|_p}{\|x\|_2}:\vec{0}\neq x\in\mathbb R^d,\…

We consider 1-complemented subspaces (ranges of contractive projections) of vector-valued spaces $\ell_p(X)$, where $X$ is a Banach space with a 1-unconditional basis and $p \in (1,2)\cup (2,\infty)$. If the norm of $X$ is twice…

Suppose $\left\{x_1, \dots, x_n\right\} \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ is a set of $n$ points in the plane with diameter $\leq 1$, meaning $|x_i - x_j| \leq 1$ for all $1 \leq i,j \leq n$. We show that the ratio of the number of ``neighbors''…

Alon, Frankl, and Lov\'asz proved a conjecture of Erd\H{o}s that one needs at least $\lceil \frac{n-r(k-1)}{r-1} \rceil$ colors to color the $k$-subsets of $\{1, \dots, n\}$ such that any $r$ of the $k$-subsets that have the same color are…

In this paper, a quantitative measure of partial observability is defined for PDEs. The quantity is proved to be consistent if the PDE is approximated using well-posed approximation schemes. A first order approximation of an unobservability…

For a dynamical system, it is known that the existence of a Lyapunov-type density function, called Lyapunov density or Rantzer's density function, implies convergence of Lebesgue almost all solutions to an equilibrium. Using the duality…

Given a positive real number $x$, we consider the smallest base $q_s(x)\in(1,2)$ for which there exists a unique sequence $(d_i)$ of zeros and ones such that \[ x=\sum_{i=1}^\infty\frac{d_i}{(q_s(x))^i}. \] In this paper we give complete…

Write $f_k({\boldsymbol \alpha};X)=\sum_{x\le X}e(\alpha_1x+\ldots +\alpha_kx^k)$ $(k\ge 3)$. We show that there is a set ${\mathfrak B}\subseteq [0,1)^{k-2}$ of full measure with the property that whenever $(\alpha_2,\ldots…

The Betke-Henk-Wills conjecture provides an upper bound for the lattice point enumerator $G(K, \Lambda)$ of a convex body in terms of its successive minima. While the conjecture is established for orthogonal parallelotopes, its validity for…

Let $L$ be a sectorial operator of type $\alpha$ ($0 \leq \alpha < \pi/2$) on $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$ with the kernels of $\{e^{-tL}\}_{t>0}$ satisfying certain size and regularity conditions. Define $$ S_{q,L}(f)(x) =…

We study functions of two variables whose sections by the lines parallel to the coordinate axis satisfy Lipschitz condition of the order $0<\a\le 1.$ We prove that if for a function $f$ the $\operatorname{Lip} \a-$ norms of these sections…

A 2-coloring of the n-cube in the n-dimensional Euclidean space can be considered as an assignment of weights of 1 or 0 to the vertices. Such a colored n-cube is said to be balanced if its center of mass coincides with its geometric center.…

We demonstrate three properties conjectured to hold for a certain function by Levin (2025) in a study of the blimpy graphical shape of the number of bit strings with a given score under an interesting scoring system. The properties include…

We define abstract Sobolev type spaces on $\mathsf{L}^p$-scales, $p\in [1,\infty)$, on Hermitian vector bundles over possibly noncompact manifolds, which are induced by smooth measures and families $\mathfrak{P}$ of linear partial…
