Let $k\geq 1$ be a small fixed integer. The rational approximations $\left |p/q-\pi^{k} \right |>1/q^{\mu(\pi^k)}$ of the irrational number $\pi^{k}$ are bounded away from zero. A general result for the irrationality exponent $\mu(\pi^k)$…

We introduce the class of graded Lie-Rinehart algebras as a natural generalization of the one of graded Lie algebras. For $G$ an abelian group, we show that if $L$ is a tight $G$-graded Lie-Rinehart algebra over an associative and…

A zero-sum sequence over ${\mathbb Z}$ is a sequence with terms in ${\mathbb Z}$ that sum to $0$. It is called minimal if it does not contain a proper zero-sum subsequence. Consider a minimal zero-sum sequence over ${\mathbb Z}$ with…

Let K\subset R^N be any convex body containing the origin. A measurable set G\subset R^N with finite and positive Lebesgue measure is said to be K-dense if, for any fixed r>0, the measure of G\cap (x+r K) is constant when x varies on the…

In this article we aim to develop from first principles a theory of sum sets and partial sum sets, which are defined analogously to difference sets and partial difference sets. We obtain non-existence results and characterisations. In…

The Minkowski content of a compact set is a fine measure of its geometric scaling. For Lebesgue null sets it measures the decay of the Lebesgue measure of epsilon neighbourhoods of the set. It is well known that self-similar sets,…

We define a class of so-called thinnable ideals $\mathcal{I}$ on the positive integers which includes several well-known examples, e.g., the collection of sets with zero asymptotic density, sets with zero logarithmic density, and several…

Rational approximations to a square root $\sqrt{k}$ can be produced by iterating the transformation $f(x) = (dx+k)/(x+d)$ starting from $\infty$ for any positive integer $d$. We show that these approximations coincide infinitely often with…

In this paper we give a generalization of the main results in \cite{ab,ab1} about $b$-ary expansions of algebraic numbers. As a byproduct we get a large class of new transcendence criteria. One of our corollaries implies that $b$-ary…

We explore the possibility of extending Mardare et al. quantitative algebras to the structures which naturally emerge from Combinatory Logic and the lambda-calculus. First of all, we show that the framework is indeed applicable to those…

A Lebesgue-type decomposition of a (non necessarily non-negative) sesquilinear form with respect to a non-negative one is studied. This decomposition consists of a sum of three parts: two are dominated by an absolutely continuous form and a…

One of the algebraic structures that has emerged recently in the study of the operator product expansions of chiral fields in conformal field theory is that of a Lie conformal algebra [K]. A Lie pseudoalgebra is a generalization of the…

We extend results related to maximal subalgebras and ideals from Lie to Leibniz algebras. In particular, we classify minimal non-elementary Leibniz algebras and Leibniz algebras with a unique maximal ideal. In both cases, there are types of…

We give conditions ensuring that the Julia set and the escaping set of an entire function of completely regular growth have positive Lebesgue measure. The essential hypotheses are that the indicator is positive except perhaps at isolated…

Motivated by a balanced ternary representation of the Collatz map we define the map $C_\mathbb{R}$ on the positive real numbers by setting $C_\mathbb{R}(x)=\frac{1}{2}x$ if $[x]$ is even and $C_\mathbb{R}(x)=\frac{3}{2}x$ if $[x]$ is odd,…

Let $(G,+)$ be a countable abelian group such that the subgroup $\{g+g\colon g\in G\}$ has finite index and the doubling map $g\mapsto g+g$ has finite kernel. We establish lower bounds on the upper density of a set $A\subset G$ with respect…

We answer a question of Banakh, Jab\l{}o\'nska and Jab\l{}o\'nski by showing that for $d\ge 2$ there exists a compact set $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ such that the projection of $K$ onto each hyperplane is of non-empty interior, but $K+K$ is…

We address the "sums of dilates problem" by looking for non-trivial lower bounds on sumsets of the form $k \cdot X + l \cdot X$, where $k$ and $l$ are non-zero integers and $X$ is a subset of a possibly non-abelian group $G$ (written…

This note considers a finite algebraic group $G$ acting on an affine variety $X$ by automorphisms. Results of Dufresne on polynomial separating algebras for linear representations of $G$ are extended to this situation. For that purpose, we…

Consider an iterated function system consisting of similarities on the complex plane of the form $g_{i}(z) = \lambda_i z + t_i,\ \lambda_i, t_i \in \mathbb{C},\ |\lambda_i|<1, i=1,\ldots, k$. We prove that for almost every choice of…
