Let $G$ be the fundamental group of a finite graph of groups with Noetherian edges and locally tame vertices. We prove that $G$ is locally tame. It follows that if a finitely presented group $H$ has a non-trivial $JSJ$-decomposition over…

We consider the higher order Tur\'an inequality and higher order log-concavity for sequences $\{a_n\}_{n \ge 0}$ such that \[ \frac{a_{n-1}a_{n+1}}{a_n^2} = 1 + \sum_{i=1}^m \frac{r_i(\log n)}{n^{\alpha_i}} + o\left( \frac{1}{n^{\beta}}…

We present a Phragm\'en-Lindel\"of type theorem with a flavor of Nevanlinna's theorem for subharmonic functions with frequent oscillations between zero and one. We use a technique inspired by a paper of Jones and Makarov.

In this paper we define the closure under weak convergence of the class of p-tempered {\alpha}-stable distributions. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence of sequences in this class. Moreover, we show that any element…

Assume that a convergent series of real numbers $\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty a_n$ has the property that there exists a set $A\subseteq \N$ such that the series $\sum\limits_{n \in A} a_n$ is conditionally convergent. We prove that for a given…

We show that there exists a sequence $\{n_k, k\ge 1\}$ growing at least geometrically such that for any finite non-negative measure $\nu$ such that $\hat \nu\ge 0$, any $T>0$, $$ \int_{-2^{n_k} T}^{2^{n_k} T} \hat \nu(x) \dd x \ll_\e…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a set of mutually coprime positive integers, satisfying \begin{align*} \sum\limits_{a\in\mathcal{A}}\frac{1}{a} = \infty. \end{align*} Define the (possibly non-multiplicative) "Liouville-like" functions \begin{align*}…

The persistence of a stochastic variable is the probability that it does not cross a given level during a fixed time interval. Although persistence is a simple concept to understand, it is in general hard to calculate. Here we consider zero…

Let $f_n(z) = \sum_{k = 0}^n \varepsilon_k z^k$ be a random polynomial where $\varepsilon_0,\ldots,\varepsilon_n$ are i.i.d. random variables with $\mathbb{E} \varepsilon_1 = 0$ and $\mathbb{E} \varepsilon_1^2 = 1$. Letting $r_1,…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the set of the primes. We consider a class of random multiplicative functions $f$ supported on the squarefree integers, such that $\{f(p)\}_{p\in\mathcal{P}}$ form a sequence of $\pm1$ valued independent random…

A conjecture of Erd\H{o}s states that for any infinite set $A \subseteq \mathbb R$, there exists $E \subseteq \mathbb R$ of positive Lebesgue measure that does not contain any nontrivial affine copy of $A$. The conjecture remains open for…

Let's fix a reasonable subsystem $T$ of arithmetic; why are natural extensions of $T$ pre-well-ordered by consistency strength? In previous work, an approach to this question was proposed. The goal of this work was to classify the recursive…

Consider a sequence of Poisson random connection models (X_n,lambda_n,g_n) on R^d, where lambda_n / n^d \to lambda > 0 and g_n(x) = g(nx) for some non-increasing, integrable connection function g. Let I_n(g) be the number of isolated…

In this paper, we prove the following result: {quote} Let $\A$ be an infinite set of positive integers. For all positive integer $n$, let $\tau_n$ denote the smallest element of $\A$ which does not divide $n$. Then we have $$\lim_{N \to +…

Let $H$ be a separable Hilbert space and let $\{x_n\}$ be a sequence in $H$ that does not contain any zero elements. We say that $\{x_n\}$ is a \emph{Bessel-normalizable} or \emph{frame-normalizable} sequence if the normalized sequence…

Let $(f_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of polynomials and $\alpha>1$. In this paper we study the distribution of the sequence $(f_n(\alpha))_{n=1}^{\infty}$ modulo one. We give sufficient conditions for a sequence $(f_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$…

It has been conjectured that there are no homogeneous rotation symmetric bent Boolean functions of degree greater than two. In this paper we begin by proving that sums of short-cycle rotation symmetric bent Boolean functions must contain a…
