We characterize the maximum $r$-local index of a Schur algebra over an abelian number field $K$ in terms of global information determined by the field $K$, for $r$ an arbitrary rational prime. This completes and unifies previous results of…

Let $k$ be a field containing an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. If $G$ is a finite group and $D$ is a division algebra over $k$, finite dimensional over its center, we can associate to a faithful $G$-grading on $D$ a…

We show that any subset of the natural numbers with positive logarithmic Banach density contains a set that is within a factor of two of a geometric progression, improving the bound on a previous result of the authors. Density conditions on…

Bourgain's discretization theorem asserts that there exists a universal constant $C\in (0,\infty)$ with the following property. Let $X,Y$ be Banach spaces with $\dim X=n$. Fix $D\in (1,\infty)$ and set $\delta= e^{-n^{Cn}}$. Assume that…

We consider sets of positive integers containing no sum of two elements in the set and also no product of two elements. We show that the upper density of such a set is strictly smaller than 1/2 and that this is best possible. Further, we…

We extend two well-known results in additive number theory, S\'ark\"ozy's theorem on square differences in dense sets and a theorem of Green on long arithmetic progressions in sumsets, to subsets of random sets of asymptotic density 0. Our…

Given $n$ positive integers $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_n$, and a positive integer right hand side $\beta$, we consider the feasibility version of the subset sum problem which is the problem of determining whether a subset of $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_n$ adds…

We study the model theoretic structure $(\Z,+,P_r)$ where $r>1$ is an irrational number and the elements of $P_r$ are of the form $\floor{nr}$ for some $n\in\Z\setminus\{0\}$. We axiomatize of this structure and prove a quantifier…

Let $A \subset \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$ of size $n$. It is conjectured that for any $C >0$ and $n$ large enough that $A$ contains a sum-free subset of size at least $n/3 +C$. We study this problem and find an alternate proof of Bourgain's result…

We resolve the topological version of the Erd\H{o}s Similarity conjecture introduced previously by Gallagher, Lai and Weber. We show that a set is topologically universal on ${\mathbb R}$ if and only if it is of strong measure zero. As a…

Answering a question of P. Erdos from 1965, we show that for every eps>0 there is a set A of n integers with the following property: every subset A' of A with at least (1/3 + eps)n elements contains three distinct elements x,y,z with x + y…

If E(z,s) is the nonholomorphic Eisenstein series on the upper half plane, then for all y sufficiently large, E(z,s) has a "Siegel zero." That is E(z,\beta)=0 for a real number \beta just to the left of one. We give a generalization of this…

In this paper we survey known results of characterizations of reflexive Banach spaces, which are based on convergence of usual and generalized arithmetic mean (or Ces\`aro sum), weakly compact subsets, affine sets in a Banach space or its…

Let $1 < p < \infty$, $p\neq 2$. We prove that if $d\geq d_p$ is sufficiently large, and $A\subs\R^d$ is a measurable set of positive upper density then there exists $\la_0=\la_0(A)$ such for all $\la\geq\la_0$ there are $x,y\in\R^d$ such…

Let $A$ be a subset of $G$, where $G$ is a finite abelian group of torsion $r$. It was conjectured by Ruzsa that if $|A+A|\leq K|A|$, then $A$ is contained in a coset of $G$ of size at most $r^{CK}|A|$ for some constant $C$. The case $r=2$…

Motivated by the Polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa (PFR) Conjecture, we develop a theory of locality in sumsets, with applications to John-type approximation and sets with small doubling. First we show that if $A \subset \mathbb{Z}$ with $|A+A| \le…

Density aggregation is a central problem in machine learning, for instance when combining predictions from a Deep Ensemble. The choice of aggregation remains an open question with two commonly proposed approaches being linear pooling…

In this paper, we consider an area minimizing integral $m$-current $T$ within a submanifold $\Sigma$ of $\mathbb{R}^{m+n}$, taking a boundary $\Gamma$ with arbitrary multiplicity $Q \in \mathbb{N} \setminus \{0\}$, where $\Gamma$ and…

We solve the boson normal ordering problem for F[(a*)^r a^s], with r,s positive integers, where a* and a are boson creation and annihilation operators satisfying [a,a*]=1. That is, we provide exact and explicit expressions for the normal…

The Bohr theorem states that any function $f(z) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{n} z^{n}$, analytic and bounded in the open unit disk, obeys the inequality $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} |a_{n}| |z|^{n} < 1$ in the open disk of radius 1/3, the so-called…
