We prove upper and lower bounds on the effective content and logical strength for a variety of natural restrictions of Hindman's Finite Sums Theorem. For example, we show that Hindman's Theorem for sums of length at most 2 and 4 colors…

We introduce a simple sieve-theoretic approach to studying partial sums of multiplicative functions which are close to their mean value. This enables us to obtain various new results as well as strengthen existing results with new proofs.…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of $q$ elements, for a given subset $D\subset \mathbb{F}_q$, $m\in \mathbb{N}$, an integer $k\leq |D|$ and $\boldsymbol{b}\in \mathbb{F}_q^m$ we are interested in determining the existence of a subset…

We propose a generalisation of the Cameron-Erdos conjecture for sum-free sets to arbitrary non-translation invariant linear equations over Z in three or more variables and, using well-known methods from graph theory, prove a weak form of…

We prove that in an arbitrary semigroup without cycles, the problem of divisibility and, therefore, the word problem is solvable.

A fertile area of recent research has demonstrated concrete polynomial time lower bounds for solving natural hard problems on restricted computational models. Among these problems are Satisfiability, Vertex Cover, Hamilton Path, Mod6-SAT,…

We study the regularity and well-posedness of physical solutions to the supercooled Stefan problem. Assuming only that the initial temperature is integrable, we prove that the free boundary, known to have jump discontinuities as a function…

Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis and a bound for the negative discrete moments of the Riemann zeta function (resp. Dirichlet $L$-functions), we prove the existence of a logarithmic limiting distribution for the normalized partial…

In this paper, I consider a fine-grained dichotomy of Boolean counting constraint satisfaction problem (#CSP), under the exponential time hypothesis of counting version (#ETH). Suppose $\mathscr{F}$ is a finite set of algebraic…

In this paper, we show that there is a large class of fermionic systems for which it is possible to find, for any dimension, a finite closed set of eigenoperators and eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian. Then, the hierarchy of the equations of…

Let $k\geqslant 3$ and let $A=\{0=a_{0}<a_{1}<\cdots<a_{k-1}\}$ with $\gcd(A)=1$. Freiman-Lev conjecture [V.F. Lev, Restricted set addition in groups, I. The classical setting, J. London Math. Soc. 62(2000), 27-40] is a well-known…

A famous conjecture about group algebras of torsion-free groups states that there is no zero divisor in such group algebras. A recent approach to settle the conjecture is to show the non-existence of zero divisors with respect to the length…

In this paper we highlight a few open problems concerning maximal sum-free sets in abelian groups. In addition, for most even order abelian groups $G$ we asymptotically determine the number of maximal distinct sum-free subsets in $G$. Our…

In this paper we obtain new sets of equivalents of the Fermat-Wiles theorem. Simultaneously, we obtain also asymptotic connections between the set of Dirichlet's series, certain segments of the Dirichlet's sum $\mfrak{D}(x)$, Riemann…

Cameron and Erd\H{o}s raised the question of how many maximal sum-free sets there are in $\{1, \dots , n\}$, giving a lower bound of $2^{\lfloor n/4 \rfloor }$. In this paper we prove that there are in fact at most $2^{(1/4+o(1))n}$ maximal…

The paper extends the widely used in optimisation theory decoupling techniques to infinite collections of functions. Extended concepts of uniform lower semicontinuity and firm uniform lower semicontinuity are discussed. The main theorems…

In this paper we investigate problems on almost everywhere convergence of subsequences of Riemann sums \md0 R_nf(x)=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}f\bigg(x+\frac{k}{n}\bigg),\quad x\in \ZT. \emd We establish a relevant connection between…

The hypergraph container lemma is a powerful tool in probabilistic combinatorics that has found many applications since it was first proved a decade ago. Roughly speaking, it asserts that the family of independent sets of every uniform…

We note a parallel between some ideas of stable model theory and certain topics in finite combinatorics related to the sum-product phenomenon. For a simple linear group G, we show that a finite subset X with |X X \^{-1} X |/ |X| bounded is…

A big class of Feynman integrals, in particular, the coefficients of their Laurent series expansion w.r.t.\ the dimension parameter $\ep$ can be transformed to multi-sums over hypergeometric terms and harmonic sums. In this article, we…
