This paper provides a survey of results on the greatest prime factor, the number of distinct prime factors, the greatest squarefree factor and the greatest m-th powerfree part of a block of consecutive integers, both without any assumption…

The TASEP is a paradigmatic model of out-of-equilibrium statistical physics, for which many quantities have been computed, either exactly or by approximate methods. In this work we study two new kinds of observables that have some relevance…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, let $\sigma$ be an automorphism of $K$ and let $\delta$ be a $\sigma$-derivation of $K$. We show that the division ring $D=K(x;\sigma,\delta)$ either has the property that every finitely generated…

Consider a string of $n$ positions, i.e. a discrete string of length $n$. Units of length $k$ are placed at random on this string in such a way that they do not overlap, and as often as possible, i.e. until all spacings between neighboring…

In recent work, the so-called quasi-Zeno dynamics of a system has been investigated in the context of the quantum first passage problem. This dynamics considers the time evolution of a system subjected to a sequence of selective projective…

Let $L_{k,\alpha}^{\mathbb{Z}}$ denote the set of all bi-infinite $\alpha$-power free words over an alphabet with $k$ letters, where $\alpha$ is a positive rational number and $k$ is positive integer. We prove that if $\alpha\geq 5$, $k\geq…

The first passage statistics of a continuous time random walker with Poisson distributed jumps on one and two dimensional infinite lattices is investigated. An exact expression for the probability of first return to the origin in one…

Generalizing the concept of a perfect number is a Zumkeller or integer perfect number that was introduced by Zumkeller in 2003. The positive integer $n$ is a Zumkeller number if its divisors can be partitioned into two sets with the same…

Let $\Gamma$ be a torsion free lattice in $G=\PGL(3,{{\mathbb F}})$ where ${{\mathbb F}}$ is a nonarchimedean local field. Then $\Gamma$ acts freely on the affine Bruhat-Tits building ${\mathcal B}$ of $G$ and there is an induced action on…

This paper compares the distribution of zeros of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ with those of a symmetric combination of zeta functions, denoted ${\cal T}_+(s)$, known to have all its zeros located on the critical line $\Re(s)=1/2$.…

We consider the set of all linear combinations with integer coefficients of the vectors of a unit tight equiangular $(k,n)$ frame and are interested in the question whether this set is a lattice, that is, a discrete additive subgroup of the…

In 1961, P. Erd\H{o}s, A. Ginzburg, and A. Ziv proved a remarkable theorem stating that each set of $2n-1$ integers contains a subset of size $n$, the sum of whose elements is divisible by $n$. We will prove a similar result for pairs of…

For a given finite subset P of points of the lattice Z^2, a friendly path is a monotone (uphill or downhill) lattice path which splits points in half; points lying on the path itself are discarded. The purpose of this paper (and its sequel)…

We study the ratio $p=\eta_1/\eta_2$ of the pseudo-periods of the Weierstrass $\zeta$-function in dependence of the ratio $\tau=\omega_1/\omega_2$ of the generators of the underlying rank-2 lattice. We will give an explicit geometric…

An equivalence is proven between the Riemann Hypothesis and the speed of convergence to 1/zeta(2) of the probability that two independent random variables following the same geometric distribution are coprime integers, when the parameter of…

A particular class of random walks with a spin factor on a three dimensional cubic lattice is studied. This three dimensional random walk model is a simple generalization of random walk for the two dimensional Ising model. All critical…

A 1984 problem of S.Z. Ditor asks whether there exists a lattice of cardinality aleph two, with zero, in which every principal ideal is finite and every element has at most three lower covers. We prove that the existence of such a lattice…

We discuss a number of old and new methods for computing $K\to\pi\pi$ amplitudes on the lattice. They all involve a non-perturbative determination of matching coefficients. We show how problems related to operator mixing can be greatly…

We study the moments $M_k(T;\alpha) = \int_T^{2T} |\zeta(s,\alpha)|^{2k}\,dt$ of the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta(s,\alpha)$ on the critical line, $s = 1/2 + it$ with a rational shift $\alpha \in \mathbb Q$. We conjecture, in analogy with…

A lattice point in $\mathbb{R}^2$ is a point $(x,y)$ with $x,y\in\mathbb{Z}$, and a lattice triangle is a triangle whose three vertices are all lattice points. We investigate the integers $k$ with the property that if $T$ is a lattice…
