We give an upper bound for the minimum $s$ with the property that every sufficiently large integer can be represented as the sum of $s$ positive $k$-th powers of integers represented as the sum of three positive cubes for the cases $2\leq…

Work in the measure algebra of the Lebesgue measure on the Cantor space: for comeager many $[A]$ the set of points $x$ such that the density of $x $ at $A$ is not defined is $\Sigma^{0}_{3}$-complete; for some compact $K$ the set of points…

We describe a simple machinery which translates results on algebraic sums of sets of reals into the corresponding results on their cartesian product. Some consequences are: 1. The product of a meager/null-additive set and a strong measure…

Let $\mathscr{R}$ denote the ring of real polynomials on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. Fix $m\geq 0$, and let $A_{1},\cdots ,A_{M}\in \mathscr{R}$. The $ C^{m}$-closure of $\left( A_{1},\cdots ,A_{M}\right) $, denoted here by $ \left[ A_{1},\cdots…

Let $S_k(m):=\sum_{j=1}^{m-1}j^k$ denote a power sum. In 2011, Kellner proposed the conjecture that for $m>3$ the ratio $S_k(m+1)/S_k(m)$ is never an integer, or, equivalently, that for any positive integer $a$, the equation $aS_k(m)=m^k$…

By a Cantor-like measure we mean the unique self-similar probability measure $\mu $ satisfying $\mu =\sum_{i=0}^{m-1}p_{i}\mu \circ S_{i}^{-1}$ where $% S_{i}(x)=\frac{x}{d}+\frac{i}{d}\cdot \frac{d-1}{m-1}$ for integers $2\leq d<m\le 2d-1$…

Given $\beta\in\mathbb{Z}[i]$ with $|\beta|>1$ and a finite set $D\subset\mathbb{Q}(i)$, let \[K_{\beta, D}=\left\{\sum_{j=1}^{\infty}\frac{d_j}{\beta^j}: d_j\in D, \forall j\geq 1\right\}.\] Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a finite set of…

A collection $\mathcal S$ of equivalence classes of positive definite integral quadratic forms in $n$ variables is called an $n$-exceptional set if there exists a positive definite integral quadratic form which represents all equivalence…

Let C(a) be the central Cantor set generated by a sequence a with terms in (0,1). It is known that the difference set C(a)-C(a) of C(a) can has one of three possible forms: a finite union of closed intervals, a Cantor set, or a Cantorval.…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian local ring and $m$ a positive integer. Let $I$ be the ideal of $R$ generated by the maximal minors of an $m \times (m + 1)$ matrix $M$ with entries in $R$. Assuming that the grade of the ideal generated by the…

We classify all decompositions of $M_3(\mathbb{C})$ into a direct vector-space sum of two subalgebras such that one of the subalgebras contains the identity matrix.

A positive integer $n$ is said to be $k$-layered if its divisors can be partitioned into $k$ sets with equal sum. In this paper, we start the systematic study of these class of numbers. In particular, we state some algorithms to find some…

Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. In this paper we develop methods to represent arbitrary elements of $F[t]$ as sums of perfect $k$-th powers for any $k\in\mathbb{N}$ relatively prime to $p$. Using these…

For a fixed integer $k \ge 0$, consider representations of positive integers as sums of binomial coefficients of the form $\binom{n}{k}$. While exact minimal bounds for the number of required summands are known only in a few low-dimensional…

This paper provides some counterexamples to Cantor's contributions to the foundations of Set Theory. The first counterexample forces Cantor's Diagonal Method (DM) to yield one of the numbers in the target list. To study this anomaly, and…

We show that the compositions of positive integers may be interpreted in terms of powers of some power series, over arbitrary commutative ring. As consequences, several closed formulas for the compositions as well as for the generalized…

This study investigates the existence of tuples $(k, \ell, m)$ of integers such that all of $k$, $\ell$, $m$, $k+\ell$, $\ell+m$, $m+k$, $k+\ell+m$ belong to $S(\alpha)$, where $S(\alpha)$ is the set of all integers of the form $\lfloor…

In 1994, J.Cobb constructed a tame Cantor set in $\mathbb R^3$ each of whose projections into $2$-planes is one-dimensional. We show that an Antoine's necklace can serve as an example of a Cantor set all of whose projections are…

Schmidt games and the Cantor winning property give alternative notions of largeness, similar to the more standard notions of measure and category. Being intuitive, flexible, and applicable to recent research made them an active object of…

A positive quadratic form is $(k,\ell)$-universal if it represents all the numbers $kx+\ell$ where $x$ is a non-negative integer, and almost $(k,\ell)$-universal if it represents all but finitely many of them. We prove that for any $k,\ell$…
