We obtain certain results on a finite $p$-group whose central automorphisms are all class preserving. In particular, we prove that if $G$ is a finite $p$-group whose central automorphisms are all class preserving, then $d(G)$ is even, where…

The aim of this study is to investigate the precise form of finite-order entire solutions to the following system of Fermat-type partial differential-difference equations: \beas \begin{cases} \left(\frac{\partial f_1\left(z_1, z_2, \ldots,…

We prove that it is consistent with ZFC that no sequential topological groups of intermediate sequential orders exist. This shows that the answer to a 1981 question of P.~Nyikos is independent of the standard axioms of set theory. The model…

Let $L$ be a linear set of pseudoregulus type in a line $\ell$ in $\Sigma^*=\mathrm{PG}(t-1,q^t)$, $t=5$ or $t>6$. We provide examples of $q$-order canonical subgeometries $\Sigma_1,\, \Sigma_2 \subset \Sigma^*$ such that there is a…

We consider central extensions $Z\hookrightarrow E\twoheadrightarrow G$ in the category of linear differential algebraic groups. We show that if $G$ is simple non-commutative and $Z$ is unipotent with the differential type smaller than that…

A packing of partial difference sets is a collection of disjoint partial difference sets in a finite group $G$. This configuration has received considerable attention in design theory, finite geometry, coding theory, and graph theory over…

We consider the problem of sums of dilates in groups of prime order. We show that given $A\subset \Z{p}$ of sufficiently small density then $$\big| \lambda_{1}A+\lambda_{2}A+...+ \lambda_{k}A \big|…

The completeness of the group classification of systems of two linear second-order ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients is delineated in the paper. The new cases extend what has been done in the literature. These cases…

We define the notion of central orderings for a general commutative ring $A$ which generalizes the notion of central points of irreducible real algebraic varieties. We study a central and a precentral loci which both live in the real…

Let $C(a ),C(b)\subset \lbrack 0,1]$ be the central Cantor sets generated by sequences $ a,b \in (0,1)^{\mathbb{N}}$. The first main result of the paper gives a necessary and a sufficient condition for sequences $a$ and $b$ which inform…

A totally symmetric set is a subset of a group such that every permutation of the subset can be realized by conjugation in the group. The (non-)existence of large totally symmetric sets obstruct homomorphisms, so bounds on the sizes of…

In this work we prove that the set of the difference of primes is a $\Delta_r^*$-set. The work is based on the recent dramatic new developments in the study of bounded gaps between primes, reached by Zhang, Maynard and Tao.

We prove that for any $n$ there is a pair $(P_1 ^n , P_2 ^n )$ of nonisomorphic ordered sets such that $P_1 ^n $ and $P_2 ^n $ have equal maximal and minimal decks, equal neighborhood decks, and there are $n+1$ ranks $k_0 , \ldots , k_n $…

Let $k$ be a given positive odd integer and $p$ an odd prime. In this paper, we shall give a sufficient condition when a prime $p$ divides the order of the groups $K_{2k}(\mathbb{Z}[\zeta_m+\zeta_m^{-1}])$ and $K_{2k}(\mathbb{Z}[\zeta_m])$,…

Given an SFT $\Sigma$ and a finite set $S$ of finite words, let $\Sigma\langle S\rangle$ denote the subshift of $\Sigma$ that avoids $S$. We establish a general criterion under which we can bound the entropy perturbation…

Given an algebra $\mathbf{A}$, and terms $s(x_{1},x_{2},\dots x_{k})$ and $t(x_{1},x_{2},\dots x_{k})$ of the language of ${\mathbf A}$, we say that $s$ and $t$ are {\em separated} in ${\mathbf A}$ iff for all $a_{1},a_{2}\dots a_{k}\in A$,…

In this paper we prove that an abelian group contains $(2^{2m+1}(2^{m-1}+1), 2^m(2^m+1), 2^m)$-difference sets with $m\geqslant 3$ if and only if it contains an elementary abelian 2-group of order $2^{2m}$. Our proof shows that the method…

We show that if the difference of two elements of a set $A \subseteq [N]$ is never one less than a prime number, then $|A| = O (N \exp (-c (\log N)^{1/3}))$ for some absolute constant $c>0$.

Assuming Lang's conjecture, we prove that for a fixed prime $p$, number field $K$, and positive integer $g$, there is an integer $r$ such that no principally polarized abelian variety $A/K$ of dimension $g$ has full level $p^r$ structure.…

We consider the alternating sign matrices of the odd order that have some kind of central symmetry. Namely, we deal with matrices invariant under the half-turn, quarter-turn and flips in both diagonals. In all these cases, there are two…
