Let n(2,k) denote the largest integer n for which there exists a set A of k nonnegative integers such that the sumset 2A contains {0,1,2,...,n-1}. A classical problem in additive number theory is to find an upper bound for n(2,k). In this…

For a finite set of balls of radius $r$, the $k$-fold cover is the space covered by at least $k$ balls. Fixing the ball centers and varying the radius, we obtain a nested sequence of spaces that is called the $k$-fold filtration of the…

We prove that product-free sets of the free group over a finite alphabet have maximum density $1/2$ with respect to the natural measure that assigns total weight one to each set of irreducible words of a given size. This confirms a…

On a general Fano hypersurface in projective space, we determine for infinitely many $k$ the minimal degree $e$ of a rational curve through a general collection of $k$ points. In the case of a hypersurface of index 1, our results hold for…

Let $F_Q$ be the Farey sequence of order $Q$ and let $F_{Q,o}$ and $F_{Q,e}$ be the set of those Farey fractions of order $Q$ with odd, respectively even denominators. A fundamental property of $F_Q$ says that the sum of denominators of any…

Let $d_S$ denote the arithmetic density of a subset $S \subseteq \mathbb N$. We derive a power series in $q\in \mathbb C$, $|q|<1$, with co\"efficients related to integer partitions and integer compositions, that yields $1/d_S$ in the limit…

Let $f\colon X\to Y$ be a $\sigma$-perfect $k$-dimensional surjective map of metrizable spaces such that $\dim Y\leq m$. It is shown that, for every positive integer $p\geq 1$ there exists a dense $G_{\delta}$-subset ${\mathcal H}(k,m,p)$…

For a smooth, projective family of homogeneous varieties defined over a number field, we show that if potential density holds for the rational points of the base, then it also holds for the total space. A conjecture of Campana and…

We compute the density of the set of ordinary primes of an abelian surface over a number field in terms of the l-adic monodromy group. Using the classification of l-adic monodromy groups of abelian surfaces by Fite, Kedlaya, Rotger, and…

This review gives an overview of effective field theory (EFT) as applied at finite density, with a focus on nuclear many-body systems. Uniform systems with short-range interactions illustrate the ingredients and virtues of many-body EFT and…

We provide estimates for the dimensions of sets in $\mathbb{R}$ which uniformly avoid finite arithmetic progressions. More precisely, we say $F$ uniformly avoids arithmetic progressions of length $k \geq 3$ if there is an $\epsilon>0$ such…

We investigate two density questions for Sobolev, Besov and Triebel--Lizorkin spaces on rough sets. Our main results, stated in the simplest Sobolev space setting, are that: (i) for an open set $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$,…

We state and prove an analogue of the Kakeya conjecture for the local field $\mathbb{F}_q(\!(t)\!)$. This extends Arsovski's result on the Kakeya conjecture to local fields of positive characteristic. We also prove the Kakeya maximal…

We show that, for every prime number p, there exist infinitely many K3 surfaces over Q whose rational points lie dense in the space of p-adic points. We also show that there exists a K3 surface over Q whose rational points lie dense in the…

In this paper we give an example of a closed, strongly one-sided dense set which is not of uniform density type. We also show that there is a set of uniform density type which is not of strong uniform density type.

Using graph-theoretic methods we give a new proof that for all sufficiently large $n$, there exist sphere packings in $\R^n$ of density at least $cn2^{-n}$, exceeding the classical Minkowski bound by a factor linear in $n$. This matches up…

For every affine variety over a global function field, we show that the set of its points with coordinates in an arbitrary rank-one multiplicative subgroup of this function field is topologically dense in the set of its points with…

We quantify the density of rational points in the unit sphere $S^n$, proving analogues of the classical theorems on the embedding of $\q^n$ into $\r^n$. Specifically, we prove a Dirichlet theorem stating that every point $\alpha \in S^n$ is…

In Theorem 1 of Acta Arith. 99 (2001), 321-329, Cobeli and Zaharescu give a result about the distribution of the ${\bf F}_p$-points on an affine curve. An easy corollary to their theorem is that the set $\bigcup_p \lbrace (\frac{x_1}{p},…

We observe that upper densities and spherical Federer densities may differ on all two dimensional surfaces of the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group. This provides an entire class of intrinsic rectifiable sets having upper density strictly…
