In this article we prove that $E(n)$-coactions over a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ are classified by tuples $(\varphi, d_1, ... , d_n)$ consisting of an involution $\varphi$ and a family $(d_i)_{i=1,...,n}$ of $\varphi$-derivations…

Let X be a subset of an abelian group and a_1,...,a_h,a'_1,...,a'_h a sequence of 2h elements of X such that a_1 + ... + a_h = a'_1 + ... + a'_h. The set X is a Sidon set of order h if, after renumbering, a_i = a'_i for i = 1,..., h. For k…

With a fixed prime power $q>1$, define the ring of polynomials $A=\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ and its fraction field $F=\mathbb{F}_q(t)$. For each pair $a=(a_1,a_2) \in A^2$ with $a_2$ nonzero, let $\phi(a)\colon A\to F\{\tau\}$ be the Drinfeld…

Let $F$ be a binary form with integer coefficients, non-zero discriminant and degree $d$ with $d$ at least $3$. Let $R_F(Z)$ denote the number of integers of absolute value at most $Z$ which are represented by $F$. We prove that there is a…

Let $A$ be an infinite set of natural numbers. For $n\in \mathbb{N}$, let $r(A, n)$ denote the number of solutions of the equation $n=a+b$ with $a, b\in A, a\le b$. Let $|A(x)|$ be the number of integers in $A$ which are less than or equal…

The notion of a $(\varphi,\hat{G})$-module is defined by Tong Liu in 2010 to classify lattices in semi-stable representations. In this paper, we study torsion $(\varphi,\hat{G})$-modules, and torsion p-adic representations associated with…

For a finite abelian group $G$, a nonempty subset $A$ of $G$, and a positive integer $h$, we let $hA$ denote the $h$-fold sumset of $A$; that is, $hA$ is the collection of sums of $h$ not-necessarily-distinct elements of $A$. Furthermore,…

Let $C$ be a cubic form with rational coefficients in $n$ variables, and let $h$ be the $h$-invariant of $C$. Let $L_1, \ldots, L_r$ be linear forms with real coefficients such that if $\boldsymbol{\alpha} \in \mathbb{R}^r \setminus \{…

Motivated by a 2001 problem of S\'ark\"ozy, we classify all situations of the integers $b,c,e$ and $f$ satisfying \begin{align*} \limsup_{n\rightarrow\infty}|d(\mathcal{A},bn+c)-d(\mathcal{A},en+f)|=\infty \end{align*} for any infinite…

We define the $k$-dimensional generalized Euler function $\varphi_k(n)$ as the number of ordered $k$-tuples $(a_1,\ldots,a_k)\in {\Bbb N}^k$ such that $1\le a_1,\ldots,a_k\le n$ and both the product $a_1\cdots a_k$ and the sum $a_1+\cdots…

Program semantics can often be expressed as a (many-sorted) first-order theory S, and program properties as sentences $\varphi$ which are intended to hold in the canonical model of such a theory, which is often incomputable. Recently, we…

For a set of natural numbers $A$, let $R_{A}(n)$ be the number of representations of a natural number $n$ as the sum of two terms from $A$. Many years ago, Nathanson studied the conditions for the set $A$ and $B$ of natural numbers that are…

We say that the order of an algebraic number $A$ is the minimum of positive integers $k$ such that $A^k$ is rational. In this paper, we show that the number of algebraic numbers $A$ with order $k$ such that \[ A,\ A^A,\ A^{A^A},\ \ldots \]…

We identify a subalgebra \pH_n of the extended affine Hecke algebra \eH_n of type A. The subalgebra \pH_n is a \u-analogue of the monoid algebra of \S_n \ltimes \ZZ_{\geq 0}^n and inherits a canonical basis from that of \eH_n. We show that…

For a set $A$ of nonnegative integers, let $R_2(A,n)$ denote the number of solutions to $n=a+a'$ with $a,a'\in A$, $a<a'$. Let $A_0$ be the Thue-Morse sequence and $B_0=\mathbb{N}\setminus A_0$. Let $A\subset \mathbb{N}$ and $N$ be a…

The set $\mathcal{R}_{G}(h,k)$ consists of all possible sizes for the $h$-fold sumset of sets containing $k$ elements from an additive abelian group $G$. The exact makeup of this set is still unknown, but there has been progress towards…

A few steps are made towards representation theory of embeddability among uncountable graphs. A monotone class of graphs is defined by forbidding countable subgraphs, related to the graph's end-structure. Using a combinatorial theorem of…

A set A of positive integers is called a perfect difference set if every nonzero integer has an unique representation as the difference of two elements of A. We construct dense perfect difference sets from dense Sidon sets. As a consequence…

Let ${\cal A}_{0}(*)$ denote the direct sum of a certain set of UHF algebras and let ${\cal A}(*)\equiv {\bf C}\oplus {\cal A}_{0}(*)$. We introduce a non-cocommutative comultiplication $\Delta_{\phi}$ on ${\cal A}(*)$, and give an example…

Assuming that the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) holds, we prove an explicit formula for the number of representations of an integer as a sum of $k\geq 5$ primes. Our error terms in such a formula improve by some logarithmic factors…
