We introduce and study Polish topologies on various spaces of countable enumerated groups, where an enumerated group is simply a group whose underlying set is the set of natural numbers. Using elementary tools and well known examples from…

Answering a question of Hegyv\'ari and Ruzsa , we show that if A is a set of integers having positive upper Banach density, then the set A+A-A:= {a+b-c: a, b, c are in A} contains Bohr neighborhoods of many elements of A, where the radius…

Let $V$ be a quasiprojective variety defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$, and let $\phi:V\rightarrow V$ be an endomorphism of $V$ that is also defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$. Let $G$ be a finite subgroup of $\operatorname{Aut}_{\mathbb{F}_q}(V)$ with…

Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian group with Haar measure $\mu$. For integers $n \geq 2$ and $H \geq 2$ and for any $n$-tuples $\mathbf{u}_1,\ldots, \mathbf{u}_H \in \mathbf{N}^n$, there exist measurable subsets $A_1,\ldots, A_n$ of $G$…

The space of unitary local systems of rank one on the complement of an arbitrary divisor in a complex projective algebraic variety can be described in terms of parabolic line bundles. We show that multiplier ideals provide natural…

The problem which can be viewed as the higher order version of an old question concerning Bohr sets is investigated: for any $d\in \N$ does the collection of $\{n\in \Z: S\cap (S-n)\cap...\cap (S-dn)\neq \emptyset\}$ with $S$ syndetic…

A finite relational structure A is called compact if for any infinite relational structure B of the same type, the existence of a homomorphism from B to A is equivalent to the existence of homomorphisms from all finite substructures of B to…

We prove that any finite abelian group $G$ contains a collection of not too many subsets with a special structure, so that for every subset $A$ of $G$ with a small doubling, there is a member $F$ of the collection that is fully contained in…

Inspired by recent questions of Nathanson, we show that for any infinite abelian group $G$ and any integers $m_1, \ldots, m_H$, there exist finite subsets $A,B \subseteq G$ such that $|hA|-|hB|=m_h$ for each $1 \leq h \leq H$. We also…

In this paper we consider the existence of dense embeddings of Limit groups in locally compact groups generalizing earlier work of Breuillard, Gelander, Souto and Storm [GBSS] where surface groups were considered. Our main results are…

The notion of a shift-compact set in an abelian topological group $X$ plays a significant role in functional equations and inequalities, especially so since each Borel set that is not Haar-meagre, alternatively not Haar-null, is necessarily…

We prove that assuming suitable cardinal arithmetic, if B is a Boolean algebra every homomorphic image of which is isomorphic to a factor, then B has locally small density. We also prove that for an (infinite) Boolean algebra B, the number…

A set of elements of a finite abelian group is called sum-free if it contains no Schur triple, i.e., no triple of elements $x,y,z$ with $x+y=z$. The study of how large the largest sum-free subset of a given abelian group is had started more…

The concepts of a conditional set, a conditional inclusion relation and a conditional Cartesian product are introduced. The resulting conditional set theory is sufficiently rich in order to construct a conditional topology, a conditional…

This paper provides a unifying framework for a range of categorical constructions characterised by universal mapping properties, within the realm of compactifications of discrete structures. Some classic examples fit within this broad…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group and $s$ be a positive integer. A subset $A$ of $G$ is called a {\em perfect $s$-basis of $G$} if each element of $G$ can be written uniquely as the sum of at most $s$ (not-necessarily-distinct) elements of…

We study amenability of definable and topological groups. Among our main technical tools is an elaboration on and strengthening of the Massicot-Wagner version of the stabilizer theorem, and some results around measures. As an application we…

We prove that if $X$ is a Polish space and $F$ is a face of $P(X)$ with the Baire property, then $F$ is either a meager or a co-meager subset of $P(X)$. As a consequence we show that for every abelian Polish group $X$ and every analytic…

We prove:(1) the existence, for every integer n > 3, of a noncompact smooth n-dimensional topological manifold whose diffeomorphism group contains an isomorphic copy of every finitely presented group; (2) a finiteness theorem on finite…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $A$ a finite abelian group. Each homomorphism $\phi:G\to A\wr S_n$ induces a homomorphism $\bar{\phi}:G\to A$ in a natural way. We show that as $\phi$ is chosen randomly, then the distribution of $\bar{\phi}$ is…
