We prove a conjecture of K. Schmidt in algebraic dynamical system theory on the growth of the number of components of fixed point sets. We also generalize a result of Silver and Williams on the growth of homology torsions of finite abelian…

Let $(X,\mathcal{B},\mu,T)$ be a measure preserving system. We say that a function $f\in L^2(X,\mu)$ is $\mu$-mean equicontinuous if for any $\epsilon>0$ there is $k\in \mathbb{N}$ and measurable sets ${A_1,A_2,\cdots,A_k}$ with…

In this paper we study the analytic properties of a certain cubic Dirichlet series associated to a metaplectic form $f$ over the cubic cover of $GL_2.$ Such a sum generalizes the work of Shimura in studying a similar quadratic Dirichlet…

We study Lie rings definable in a finite-dimensional theory, extending the results for the finite Morley rank case. In particular, we prove a classification of Lie rings of dimension up to four in the NIP or connected case. In…

We address the problem of identifying a proof-theoretic framework that enables a compositional analysis of finite-trace properties in concurrent systems, with a particular focus on those specified via prefix-closure. To this end, we…

The purpose of this short note is to give a proof of the following identity between (logarithmic) Mahler measures m(y^2+2xy+y-x^3-2x^2-x)=5/7*m(y^2+4xy+y-x^3+x^2) which is one of many examples that arise from the comparison of Mahler…

We introduce a new problem, CSPLib problem number 50, to generate all degree sequences that have a corresponding diamond-free graph with secondary properties. This problem arises naturally from a problem in mathematics to do with balanced…

For an algebraic number $\alpha$ we denote by $M(\alpha)$ the Mahler measure of $\alpha$. As $M(\alpha)$ is again an algebraic number (indeed, an algebraic integer), $M(\cdot)$ is a self-map on $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, and therefore defines…

We study a hierarchical model of non-overlapping cubes of sidelengths $2^j$, $j \in \mathbb{Z}$. The model allows for cubes of arbitrarily small size and the activities need not be translationally invariant. It can also be recast as a spin…

Long ago, Arad and Herzog (AH) conjectured that, in finite simple groups, the product of two conjugacy classes of length greater than one is never a single conjugacy class. We discuss implications of this conjecture for non-abelian anyons…

In the frame of Mahler's method for algebraic independence we show that the algebraic relations over Q linking the values of functions solutions of a system of functional equations come from the algebraic relations between the functions…

This paper presents a possible link between Cages and Expander Graphs by introducing three interconnected variants of the Bermond and Bollob\'as Conjecture, originally formulated in 1981 within the context of the Degree/Diameter Problem. We…

Let $t\geq2$ and $k\geq1$ be integers. Let $H_{k}(z)$ with $\left\vert z\right\vert <1$ be the limit of a certain subsequence of the Stern polynomials introduced by Dilcher and Eriksen. We use Mahler's method to prove the algebraic…

In this article, we review the proofs of the first Zassenhaus Conjecture on conjugacy of torsion units in integral group rings for the alternating groups of degree 5 and 6, by Luthar-Passi and Hertweck. We describe how the study of these…

The observable distance $d_{\mathrm{conc}}$ based on measure concentration and the box distance $\Box$ based on collapsing theory are extended to geometric data sets introduced by Hanika--Schneider--Stumme. On the set $\mathcal{D}$ of…

Brawley and Carlitz introduced diamond products of elements of finite fields and associated composed products of polynomials in 1987. Composed products yield a method to construct irreducible polynomials of large composite degrees from…

In this expository paper, we review the formula of Chowla and Selberg for the periods of elliptic curves with complex multiplication, and discuss two methods of proof. One uses Kronecker's limit formula and the other uses the geometry of a…

We construct entanglement witnesses with regard to the geometric structure of the Hilbert--Schmidt space and investigate the geometry of entanglement. In particular, for a two--parameter family of two--qutrit states that are part of the…

We prove several identities relating three-variable Mahler measures to integrals of inverse trigonometric functions. After deriving closed forms for most of these integrals, we obtain ten explicit formulas for three-variable Mahler…

This report introduces and investigates a family of metrics on sets of pointed Kripke models. The metrics are generalizations of the Hamming distance applicable to countably infinite binary strings and, by extension, logical theories or…
