Given positive integers $h, N$ satisfying $1 \leqslant h \leqslant 2N^2$, we define $T(h,N)$ to be the number of $2\times 2$ integer matrices with determinant equal to $h$ whose entries lie in $[-N,N]$. Our main result states that for any…

Given a bounded domain $\Omega \subset {\Bbb R}^d$ with positive measure and a finite set $A=\{a^1, a^2, \dots, a^d\}$, we say that the set ${\mathcal E}(A)={\{e^{2 \pi i x \cdot a^j}\}}_{a^j \in A}$ is a complete exponential system if for…

We consider the space $A(\mathbb T)$ of all continuous functions $f$ on the circle $\mathbb T$ such that the sequence of Fourier coefficients $\hat{f}=\{\hat{f}(k), ~k \in \mathbb Z\}$ belongs to $l^1(\mathbb Z)$. The norm on $A(\mathbb T)$…

Let $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,\mathcal{F})$ be the maximum number of copies of $H$ in an $n$-vertex graph which contains no copy of a graph from $\mathcal{F}$. Thinking of $H$ and $\mathcal{F}$ as fixed, we study the asymptotics of…

We define an abelian loop on a set $S$ consisting of 1 and all odd prime numbers with an operation $\bullet$, where for $a,b$ $\in$ $S$, $a$ $ \bullet$ $b$ is the smallest element of $S$ strictly larger than $|a-b|$. We use theorems and…
