We consider digit systems $(A,\mathcal{D})$, where $ A \in \mathbb{Q}^{n\times n}$ is an expanding matrix and the digit set $\mathcal{D}$ is a suitable subset of $\mathbb{Q}^n$. To such a system, we associate a self-affine set $\mathcal{F}…

Consider $\alpha \in \Q(i)$ satisfying $|\alpha| >1$. Let $\D = \{0,1,\ldots,|a_0|-1\}$, where $a_0$ is the independent coefficient of the minimal primitive polynomial of $\alpha$. We introduce a way of expanding complex numbers in base…

Given any m-dimensional dilation matrix A with rational eigenvalues, we demonstrate the existence of a digit set D such that the attractor T(A,D) of the iterated function system generated by A and D is connected. We give an easily verified…

We construct a new family of linearizations of rational matrices $R(\lambda)$ written in the general form $R(\lambda)= D(\lambda)+C(\lambda)A(\lambda)^{-1}B(\lambda)$, where $D(\lambda)$, $C(\lambda)$, $B(\lambda)$ and $A(\lambda)$ are…

We show the existence of ``good'' approximations to a real number $\gamma$ using rationals with denominators formed by digits $0$ and $1$ in base $b$. We derive an elementary estimate and enhance this result by managing exponential sums.

We study dp-minimal infinite profinite groups that are equipped with a uniformly definable fundamental system of open subgroups. We show that these groups have an open subgroup $A$ such that either $A$ is a direct product of countably many…

Let $E$ be a number field and $X$ a smooth geometrically connected variety defined over a characteristic $p$ finite field. Given an $n$-dimensional pure $E$-compatible system of semisimple $\lambda$-adic representations of the \'etale…

The set \[ \overline{\mathbb{E}}= \{ x \in {\mathbb{C}}^3: \quad 1-x_1 z - x_2 w + x_3 zw \neq 0 \mbox{ whenever } |z| < 1, |w| < 1 \} \] is called the tetrablock and has intriguing complex-geometric properties. It is polynomially convex,…

In this paper we derive new sufficient conditions for a linear system matrix $$S(\lambda):=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} T(\lambda) & -U(\lambda) \\ V(\lambda) & W(\lambda) \end{array}\right],$$ where $T(\lambda)$ is assumed regular, to be…

Let $b \geq 2$ be an integer and $S$ be a finite non-empty set of primes not containing divisors of $b$. For any non-dense set $A \subset [0,1)$ such that $A \cap \mathbb{Q}$ is invariant under $\times b$ operation, we prove the finiteness…

We establish a structure theorem for rational maps $f:\overline{\mathbb{C}}\to\overline{\mathbb{C}}$: the pullback metric $f^{*}{\rm d}s_{0}^{2}$ of the standard metric ${\rm d}s_{0}^{2}$ admits a canonical decomposition into finitely many…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a finite commutative ring, and let $\mathbb{L}$ be a commutative $\mathbb{K}$-algebra. Let $A$ and $B$ be two $n \times n$-matrices over $\mathbb{L}$ that have the same characteristic polynomial. The main result of this…

We show that any $m\times m$ matrix $M$ with integer entries and $\det M =\Delta \neq 0$ can be equipped by a finite digit set $\mathcal{D}\subset\mathbb{Z}^m$ such that any integer $m$-dimensional vector belongs to the set $$ {\rm…

Number systems with a rational number $a/b > 1$ as base have gained interest in recent years. In particular, relations to Mahler's 3/2-problem as well as the Josephus problem have been established. In the present paper we show that the…

Motivated by the fundamental lower bounds questions in proof complexity, we initiate the study of matrix identities as hard instances for strong proof systems. A matrix identity of $d \times d$ matrices over a field $\mathbb{F}$, is a…
