We consider the distribution of spacings between consecutive elements in subsets of Z/qZ where q is highly composite and the subsets are defined via the Chinese remainder theorem. We give a sufficient criterion for the spacing distribution…
For prime powers $q$ and $q+\varepsilon$ where $\varepsilon\in\{1,2\}$, an affine resolvable design from $\mathbb{F}_q$ and Latin squares from $\mathbb{F}_{q+\varepsilon}$ yield a set of symmetric designs if $\varepsilon=2$ and a set of…
It is well known that the rational torsion of an abelian variety defined over a number field injects into the reduction modulo any sufficiently large prime, so the order of the torsion group divides the greatest common divisor of the sizes…
Generalizing a result of S.V. Konyagin and D.R. Heath--Brown, we prove, in particular, that for any multiplicative subgroup R of Z/pZ and any nonzero elements mu_1,...,mu_k the following holds |R \cap (R+mu_1) \cap ... \cap (R+mu_k)| \ll_k…
Dual canonical bases of the quantum general linear supergroup are constructed which are invariant under the multiplication of the quantum Berezinian. By setting the quantum Berezinian to identity, we obtain dual canonical bases of the…
Let $\H_n$ be the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of the symmetric group $S_n$, and let $Z(\H_n)$ denote its centre. Let $B={b_1,b_2,...,b_t}$ be a basis for $Z(\H_n)$ over $R=\Z[q,q^{-1}]$. Then $B$ is called \emph{multiplicative} if, for every $i$…
Let 0 < a < b be two relatively prime integers and let <a,b> be the numerical semigroup generated by a and b with Frobenius number g(a,b)=ab-a-b. In this note, we prove that there exists a prime number p in <a,b> with p < g(a,b) when the…
In analytic number theory, several results make use of information regarding the prime values of a multiplicative function in order to extract information about its averages. Examples of such results include Wirsing's theorem and the…
A group is said to be capable if it is the central factor of some group. In this paper, among other results we have characterized capable groups of order $p^2q$, for any distinct primes $p, q$, which extends Theorem 1.2 of S. Rashid, N. H.…
We prove that the sumset or the productset of any finite set of real numbers, $A,$ is at least $|A|^{4/3-\epsilon},$ improving earlier bounds. Our main tool is a new upper bound on the multiplicative energy, $E(A,A).$
Assuming a uniform $q$-variant of the prime $k$-tuple conjecture, we compute moments of the number of primes in arithmetic progressions to a large modulus $q$ as the residue classes vary. Consequently, depending on the size of $\varphi(q)$,…
Under two assumptions, we determine the distribution of the difference between two functions each counting the numbers < x that are in a given arithmetic progression modulo q and the product of two primes. The two assumptions are (i) the…
The main aim of this paper is to determine the multiplicative lie algebra structures on the semi-direct product of an abelian group with a group under certain conditions.
We prove new results on additive properties of finite sets $A$ with small multiplicative doubling $|AA|\leq M|A|$ in the category of real/complex sets as well as multiplicative subgroups in the prime residue field. The improvements are…
Adding two generators and one arbitrary relator to a nontrivial torsion-free group, we always obtain an SQ-universal group. In the course of the proof of this theorem, we obtain some other results of independent interest. For instance,…
We present a prime-generating polynomial $(1+2n)(p -2n) + 2$ where $p>2$ is a lower member of a pair of twin primes less than $41$ and the integer $n$ is such that $\: \frac {1-p}{2} < n < p-1$.
We present a method for finding large fixed-size primes of the form $X^2+c$. We study the density of primes on the sets $E_c = \{N(X,c)=X^2+c,\ X \in (2\mathbb{Z}+(c-1))\}$, $c \in \mathbb{N}^*$. We describe an algorithm for generating…
In a recent work of Anderson and Hu, the authors constructed a measure that was $p$-adic and $q$-adic doubling, for any primes $p$ and $q$, yet not doubling. This work relied heavily on a developed number theory framework. Here we develop…
We determine a substantial part of the unitary representation theory of the Drinfeld double of a $q$-deformation of a compact Lie group in terms of the complexification of the compact Lie group. Using this, we show that the dual of every…
A multiplicative subset $S$ of a ring $R$ is called \textit{strongly multiplicative} if $(\bigcap_{i\in\Delta}s_iR)\cap S \neq \emptyset$ for each family $(s_i)_{i\in\Delta}$ of elements in $S$. In this paper, we investigate how these sets…
