We show that the Waring's number over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, denoted $g(k,q)$, when exists, coincides with the diameter of the generalized Paley graph $\Gamma(k,q)=Cay(\mathbb{F}_{q},R_k)$ with $R_k=\{x^k : x\in \mathbb{F}_q^*\}$.…

The Waring function $g(k,q)$ measures the difficulty of Waring's problem for $k$th powers in the field of $q$ elements. Its calculation seems to be difficult, and many partial results have been published, notably upper bounds for certain…

In the polynomial ring $T=k[y_1,...,y_n]$, with $n>1$, we bound the multiplicity of homogeneous radical ideals $I\subset (y_1^{a_1},...,y_n^{a_n})$ such that $T/I$ is a graded $k$-algebra with Krull dimension one. As a consequence we solve…

Waring's Problem asks whether, for each positive integer $k$, there exists an integer $s$ such that every positive integer is a sum of at most $k$th powers. While Hilbert proved the existence of such $s$, Waring's Problem has lead to areas…

In this paper, we shall be considering the Waring's problem for matrices. One version of the problem involves writing an $n \times n$ matrix over a commutative ring $R$ with unity as a sum of $k$-th powers of matrices over $R.$ This study…

The classical Waring problem deals with expressing every natural number as a sum of g(k) kth powers. Similar problems for finite simple groups have been studied recently, and in this paper we study them for finite quasisimple groups G. We…

Let $k_i\in \mathbb N$ $(i\ge 1)$ satisfy $2\le k_1\le k_2\le \ldots $. Freiman's theorem shows that when $j\in \mathbb N$, there exists $s=s(j)\in \mathbb N$ such that all large integers $n$ are represented in the form…

In this paper we show that for any $k\geq2$, there exist two universal constants $C_k,D_k>0$, such that for any finite subset $A$ of positive real numbers with $|AA|\leq M|A|$, $|kA|\geq \frac{C_k}{M^{D_k}}\cdot|A|^{\log_42k}.$

For positive integers $1 \leq k \leq n$ let $M_n$ be the algebra of all $n \times n$ complex matrices and $M_n^{\le k}$ its subset consisting of all matrices of rank at most $k$. We first show that whenever $k>\frac{n}{2}$, any continuous…

Let $f$ bea noncommutativepolynomial of degree $m\ge 1$ over an algebraically closed field $F$ of characteristic $0$. If $n\ge m-1$ and $\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\alpha_3$ are nonzero elements from $F$ such that $\alpha_1+\alpha_2+\alpha_3=0$,…

We give an overview of combinatoric properties of the number of ordered $k$-factorizations $f_k(n,l)$ of an integer, where every factor is greater or equal to $l$. We show that for a large number $k$ of factors, the value of the cumulative…

Given an integer $k$, define $C_k$ as the set of integers $n > \max(k,0)$ such that $a^{n-k+1} \equiv a \pmod{n}$ holds for all integers $a$. We establish various multiplicative properties of the elements in $C_k$ and give a sufficient…

We establish that almost every positive integer $n$ is the sum of four cubes, two of which are at most $n^{\theta}$, as long as $\theta\geq192/869$. An asymptotic formula for the number of such representations is established when…

Denote by P(K, k) the members of the field K which are sums of kth powers of field elements, by P+(K, k) the set of members of K which are sums of kth powers of totally positive elements of K. We are interested in deciding whether or not…

For each 1 < p < infinity, there exists a positive constant c_p, depending only on p, such that the following holds. Let (d_k), (e_k) be real-valued martingale difference sequences. If for for all bounded nonnegative predictable sequences…

Motivated by recent results on the Waring problem for polynomial rings and representation of monomial as sum of powers of linear forms, we consider the problem of presenting monomials of degree kd as sums of k-th powers of forms of degree…

Waring's classical problem deals with expressing every natural number as a sum of g(k) k-th powers. Recently there has been considerable interest in similar questions for nonabelian groups, and simple groups in particular. Here the k-th…
