Let $C$ be the middle-third Cantor set, and $f$ a continuous function defined on an open set $U\subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$. Denote the image \begin{equation*} f_{U}(C,C)=\{f(x,y):(x,y)\in (C\times C)\cap U\}. \end{equation*} If $\partial…

A connected graph $G$ with at least $2m+2n+2$ vertices is said to have property $E(m,n)$ if, for any two disjoint matchings $M$ and $N$ of size $m$ and $n$ respectively, $G$ has a perfect matching $F$ such that $M\subseteq F$ and $N\cap…

Let $A$ be a compact set in $\mathbb{R}$, and $E=A^d\subset \mathbb{R}^d$. We know from the Mattila-Sj\"olin's theorem if $\dim_H(A)>\frac{d+1}{2d}$, then the distance set $\Delta(E)$ has non-empty interior. In this paper, we show that the…

Let $X$ be a Banach space, and $M,N$ be two closed subspaces of $X$. We present several necessary and sufficient conditions for the closedness of $M+N$ ($M+N$ is not necessarily direct sum).

Let $(G,+)$ be a countable abelian group such that the subgroup $\{g+g\colon g\in G\}$ has finite index and the doubling map $g\mapsto g+g$ has finite kernel. We establish lower bounds on the upper density of a set $A\subset G$ with respect…

A classical problem in the literature seeks the minimal number of proper subgroups whose union is a given finite group. A different question, with applications to error-correcting codes and graph colorings, involves covering vector spaces…

Recently, using machinery's from Ergodic theory, Z. Lian, and R. Xiao proved if $P$ is any polynomial with no constant term, then for every finite coloring of $\mathbb{N}$, there exists two infinite subsets $B,C$ of $\mathbb{N}$ such that…

A graph $G$ is $F$-saturated if $G$ is $F$-free but for any edge $e$ in the complement of $G$ the graph $G + e$ contains $F$. Gerbner et al. (Discrete Math., 345 (2022), 112921) initiated the study of $rsat(n,F)$, the minimum number of…

Let $A\subset\mathbb{N}$, $\alpha\in(0,1)$, and for $x\in\mathbb{R}$ let $e(x):=e^{2\pi ix}$. We set $$S_{A}(\alpha,N):=\sum_{\substack{n\in A\n\leq N}}e(n\alpha).$$ Recently, Lambert A'Campo proposed the following question: is there an…

We investigate the size of subspaces in sumsets and show two main results. First, if A is a subset of F_2^n with density at least 1/2 - o(n^{-1/2}) then A+A contains a subspace of co-dimension 1. Secondly, if A is a subset of F_2^n with…

We prove a substantial extension of a well-known result due to Bennett and Carl: The inclusion of a 2-concave symmetric Banach sequence space E into l_2 is (E,1)-summing, i.e. for every unconditionally summable sequence (x_n) in E the…

We prove the following two results 1. For a proper holomorphic function $ f : X \to D$ of a complex manifold $X$ on a disc such that $\{df = 0 \} \subset f^{-1}(0)$, we construct, in a functorial way, for each integer $p$, a geometric…

We consider the following dichotomy for $\Sigma^0_2$ finitary relations $R$ on analytic subsets of the generalized Baire space for $\kappa$: either all $R$-independent sets are of size at most $\kappa$, or there is a $\kappa$-perfect…

Using Fourier analysis, Covert, Hart, Iosevich and Uriarte-Tuero (2008) showed that if the cardinality of a subset of the 2-dimensional vector space over a finite field with q elements is >= rq^2, with q^{-1/2} << r <= 1 then it contains an…

{The first version of this text was written and submitted to a journal on April, 12, 2018. This second version was submitted on April, 9, 2019.} We investigate the existence of subsets $A$ and $B$ of $\mathbb{N}:=\{0,1,2,\dots\}$ such that…

Let $d$ be a positive integer and $U \subset \mathbb{Z}^d$ finite. We study $$\beta(U) : = \inf_{\substack{A , B \neq \emptyset \\ \text{finite}}} \frac{|A+B+U|}{|A|^{1/2}{|B|^{1/2}}},$$ and other related quantities. We employ…

Let R be the ring of S-integers of an algebraic function field (in one variable) over a perfect field, where S is finite and not empty. It is shown that for every positive integer N there exist elements of R that can not be written as a sum…

It is proved that for any non-empty finite subset $Q$ of the square numbers, $ |Q+Q|\geq C'|Q|(\log |Q|)^{1/3+o(1)} $. This result essentially is proved -- with the same tools -- by Mei-Chu Chang. See in J. Funct. Anal. 207 (2004), no 2,…

This is a sequel to the paper arXiv:1312.6438 by the same authors. In this sequel, we quantitatively improve several of the main results of arXiv:1312.6438, and build on the methods therein. The main new results is that, for any finite set…

Assuming four strongly compact cardinals, it is consistent that all entries in Cicho\'n's diagram are pairwise different, more specifically that \[ \aleph_1 < \mathrm{add}(\mathrm{null}) < \mathrm{cov}(\mathrm{null}) < \mathfrak{b} <…
