We prove lower bounds on the length of regular expressions for finite languages by methods from arithmetic circuit complexity. First, we show a reduction: the length of a regular expression for a language $L\subseteq \{0,1\}^n$ is bounded…

It is well-known that if a subset A of a finite Abelian group G satisfies a quasirandomness property called uniformity of degree k, then it contains roughly the expected number of arithmetic progressions of length k, that is, the number of…

Let $f: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{C}$ be a multiplicative function for which $$ \sum_{p : \, |f(p)| \neq 1} \frac{1}{p} = \infty. $$ We show under this condition alone that for any integer $h \neq 0$ the set $$ \{n \in \mathbb{N} : f(n) =…

A system of linear equations $L$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ is common if the number of monochromatic solutions to $L$ in any two-colouring of $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ is asymptotically at least the expected number of monochromatic solutions in a random…

The work in this paper is to initiate a theory of testing monomials in multivariate polynomials. The central question is to ask whether a polynomial represented by certain economically compact structure has a multilinear monomial in its…

Using results relating the complexity of a two dimensional subshift to its periodicity, we obtain an application to the well-known conjecture of Furstenberg on a Borel probability measure on $[0,1)$ which is invariant under both $x\mapsto…

We establish a generalization of Bourgain double recurrence theorem by proving that for any map $T$ acting on a probability space $(X,\mathcal{A},\mu)$, and for any non-constant polynomials $P, Q$ mapping natural numbers to themselves, for…

In this paper, we investigate the existence of solution for systems of Fokker-Planck equations coupled through a common nonlinear congestion. Two different kinds of congestion are considered: a porous media congestion or \textit{soft}…

We present necessary and sufficient conditions on systems of random variables for them to possess a lacunary subsystem equivalent in distribution to the Rademacher system on the segment [0,1]. In particular, every uniformly bounded…

In the present work, we present a new discrete logarithm algorithm, in the same vein as in recent works by Joux, using an asymptotically more efficient descent approach. The main result gives a quasi-polynomial heuristic complexity for the…

We strengthen the Weierstrass approximation theorem by proving that any real-valued continuous function on an interval $I \subset \mathbb{R}$ can be uniformly approximated by a real-valued polynomial whose only (possibly complex) critical…

In an attempt to show that the acceptance probability of a quantum query algorithm making $q$ queries can be well-approximated almost everywhere by a classical decision tree of depth $\leq \text{poly}(q)$, Aaronson and Ambainis proposed the…

Suppose that f is a boolean function from F_2^n to {0,1} with spectral norm (that is the sum of the absolute values of its Fourier coefficients) at most M. We show that f may be expressed as +/- 1 combination of at most 2^(2^(O(M^4)))…

We show that the Parikh image of the language of an NFA with n states over an alphabet of size k can be described as a finite union of linear sets with at most k generators and total size 2^{O(k^2 log n)}, i.e., polynomial for all fixed k…

We consider the problem of "algebraic reconstruction" of linear combinations of shifts of several known signals $f_1,\ldots,f_k$ from the Fourier samples. Following \cite{Bat.Sar.Yom2}, for each $j=1,\ldots,k$ we choose sampling set $S_j$…

The range of a trigonometric polynomial with complex coefficients can be interpreted as the image of the unit circle under a Laurent polynomial. We show that this range is contained in a real algebraic subset of the complex plane. Although…

For each $\alpha \in (0, 1)$, we construct a bounded monotone deterministic sequence $(c_k)_{k \geq 0}$ of real numbers so that the number of real roots of the random polynomial $f_n(z) = \sum_{k=0}^n c_k \varepsilon_k z^k$ is $n^{\alpha +…

Koiran's real $\tau$-conjecture claims that the number of real zeros of a structured polynomial given as a sum of $m$ products of $k$ real sparse polynomials, each with at most $t$ monomials, is bounded by a polynomial in $m,k,t$. This…

We study the harmonically weighted one-level density of low-lying zeros of $L$-functions in the family of holomorpic newforms of fixed even weight $k$ and prime level $N$ tending to infinity. For this family, Iwaniec, Luo and Sarnak proved…

We show that $0,1$-polynomials of high degree and few terms are irreducible with high probability. Formally, let $k\in\mathbb{N}$ and $F(x)=1+\sum_{i=1}^kx^{n_i}$, where $ 0<n_1<\cdots<n_k\leq N. $ Then we show that…
