Let $n$ and $k$ be integers. A set $A\subset\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ is $k$-free if for all $x$ in $A$, $kx\notin A$. We determine the maximal cardinality of such a set when $k$ and $n$ are coprime. We also study several particular cases and…

We study the error bound for a smooth weighted prime number theorem, and its implication to the zero-free region for the Riemann zeta function using the method of Pintz. We also give an application to the average number of smooth weighted…

We study the projectivity of the free Banach lattice generated by a lattice $\mathbb{L}$ in two cases: when the lattice is finite, and when the lattice is an infinite linearly ordered set. We prove that in the first case it is projective…

On an $r\times (n-r)$ lattice rectangle, we first consider walks that begin at the SW corner, proceed with unit steps in either of the directions E or N, and terminate at the NE corner of the rectangle. For each integer $k$ we ask for…

A $k$-free like group is a $k$-generated group $G$ with a sequence of $k$-element generating sets $Z_n$ such that the girth of $G$ relative to $Z_n$ is unbounded and the Cheeger constant of $G$ relative to $Z_n$ is bounded away from 0. By a…

In a graph whose vertices are assigned integer ranks, a path is well-ranked if the endpoints have distinct ranks or some interior point has a higher rank than the endpoints. A ranking is an assignment of ranks such that all nontrivial paths…

We prove that any vertex-reinforced random walk on the integer lattice with non-decreasing reinforcement sequence $w$ satisfying $w(k) = o(k^{\alpha})$ for some $\alpha < 1/2$ is recurrent. This improves on previous results of Volkov (2006)…

We propose an unconventional formulation of lattice field theories which is quite general, although originally motivated by the quest of exact lattice supersymmetry. Two long standing problems have a solution in this context: 1) Each degree…

The k-neighbor graph is a directed percolation model on the hypercubic lattice Z d in which each vertex independently picks exactly k of its 2d nearest neighbors at random, and we open directed edges towards those. We prove that the…

We develop novel techniques using abstract operator theory to obtain asymptotic formulae for lattice counting problems on infinite-volume hyperbolic manifolds, with error terms which are uniform as the lattice moves through "congruence"…

For a finite lattice $L$, let Gm($L$) denote the least $n$ such that $L$ can be generated by $n$ elements. For integers $r>2$ and $k>1$, denote by FD$(r)^k$ the $k$-th direct power of the free distributive lattice FD($r$) on $r$ generators.…

We study Brown's definition of the probabilistic zeta function of a finite lattice as a generalization of that of a finite group. We propose a natural alternative or extension that may be better suited for non-atomistic lattices. The…

Zhang found a simple, elegant argument deducing the non-existence of an infinite open cluster in certain lattice percolation models (for example, p=1/2 bond percolation on the square lattice) from general results on the uniqueness of an…

In this article, we introduce a general approach for deriving zero-free half-planes for the Riemann zeta function $\zeta$ by identifying topological vector spaces of analytic functions with specific properties. This approach is applied to…

The main result of this paper is the following: for all $b \in \mathbb Z$ there exists $k=k(b)$ such that \[ \max \{ |A^{(k)}|, |(A+u)^{(k)}| \} \geq |A|^b, \] for any finite $A \subset \mathbb Q$ and any non-zero $u \in \mathbb Q$. Here,…

Let $m$ be a positive integer, and define $$\zeta_m(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{(-e^{2\pi i/m})^{\omega(n)}}{n^s}\ \ \ \ \text{and} \ \ \ \ \zeta^*_m(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{(-e^{2\pi i/m})^{\Omega(n)}}{n^s},$$ for $\Re(s)>1$, where…

In this paper we consider an irreducible random walk on the integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}$ that is in the domain of normal attraction of a strictly stable process with index $\alpha\in (1, 2)$ and obtain the asymptotic form of the…

A nonzero rational number is called a cube sum if it is of form $a^3+b^3$ with $a,b\in \mathbb{Q}^\times$. In this paper, we prove that for any odd integer $k\geq 1$, there exist infinitely many cube-free odd integers $n$ with exactly $k$…

The properties of the coinless quantum walk model have not been as thoroughly analyzed as those of the coined model. Both evolve in discrete time steps but the former uses a smaller Hilbert space, which is spanned merely by the site basis.…

Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we establish an upper bound for the $2k$-th discrete moment of the derivative of the Riemann zeta-function at nontrivial zeros, where $k$ is a positive real number. Our upper bound agrees with conjectures of…
