We prove the following variant of the Erd\H{o}s distinct subset sums problem. Given $t \ge 0$ and sufficiently large $n$, every $n$-element set $A$ whose subset sums are distinct modulo $N=2^n+t$ satisfies $$\max A \ge…

We determine the exact value of the $\eta$-constant and the multiwise Davenport constants for finite abelian groups of rank three having the form $G \simeq C_2 \oplus C_{n_2} \oplus C_{n_3}$ with $2 \mid n_2 \mid n_3$. Moreover, we…

Let $p>7$ be a prime, let $G=\Z/p\Z$, and let $S_1=\prod_{i=1}^p g_i$ and $S_2=\prod_{i=1}^p h_i$ be two sequences with terms from $G$. Suppose that the maximum multiplicity of a term from either $S_1$ or $S_2$ is at most $\frac{2p+1}{5}$.…

In the present paper we continue the project of systematic construction of invariant differential operators on the example of the non-compact algebra $G_{2(2)}$. We use both the minimal and the maximal Heisenberg parabolic subalgebras. We…

For a sequence $S$ over a finite abelian group, let $MZ(S)$ denote the length of the shortest nonempty zero-sum subsequence of $S$. We prove that if $G$ is finite abelian of order $n$ and $S$ has length $n$, then $MZ(S)\le n-|\supp(S)|+1$.…

Fix $R>1$ and let $A_R=\{1/R\le |z|\le R \}$ be an annulus. Also, let $K(R)$ denote the smallest constant such that $A_R$ is a $K(R)$-spectral set for the bounded linear operator $T\in \mathcal{B}(H)$ whenever $||T||\le R$ and…

A Wehrl entropy construction is proposed for an arbitrary locally compact abelian group $G$. It is proved that the Wehrl entropy is not less than a non-negative integer, which is an invariant of the group $G$. The minimum of the Wehrl…

Let $G = (V,E)$ be a finite graph and let $(\mathbb{A},+)$ be an abelian group with identity 0. Then $G$ is \textit{$\mathbb{A}$-magic} if and only if there exists a function $\phi$ from $E$ into $\mathbb{A} - \{0\}$ such that for some $c…

Let $G$ be a finite group. A finite collection of elements from $G$, where the order is disregarded and repetitions are allowed, is said to be a product-one sequence if its elements can be ordered such that their product in $G$ equals the…

A complete analysis of the electroweak precision observables is performed within a recently proposed minimal composite Higgs model, realized as a 5-dimensional warped compactification. In particular, we compute Z->bb and the one-loop…

We prove the following extension of Tits' simplicity theorem. Let $k$ be an infinite field, $G$ an algebraic group defined and quasi-simple over $k,$ and $G(k)$ the group of $k$-rational points of $G.$ Let $G(k)^+$ be the subgroup of $G(k)$…

The generalized order $e_G(g)$ of an element $g$ of a group $G$ is the smallest positive integer $k$ such that there exist $x_1,\ldots,x_k \in G$ such that $g^{x_1} \ldots g^{x_k}=1$, where $g^x=x^{-1}gx$. Let $e(G) = \max \{e_G(g)\ |\ g…

This article focuses on the study of zero-sum invariants of finite non-abelian groups. We address two main problems: the first centers on the ordered Davenport constant and the second on Gao's constant. We establish a connection between the…

Let $G$ be a finite cyclic group. Every sequence $S$ over $G$ can be written in the form $S=(n_1g)\cdot...\cdot(n_kg)$ where $g\in G$ and $n_1,\cdots,n_k\in[1,{\hbox{\rm ord}}(g)]$, and the index $\ind S$ of $S$ is defined to be the minimum…

We present two short proofs giving the best known asymptotic lower bound for the maximum element in a set of $n$ positive integers with distinct subset sums.

A semidomain is a subsemiring of an integral domain. We call a semidomain $S$ additively reduced if $0$ is the only invertible element of the monoid $(S, +)$, while we say that $S$ is additively Furstenberg if every non-invertible element…

This article shortly provides related proofs of the ergodic theorems of von Neumann, Birkhoff, Wiener, and Rokhlin's lemma for $Z^d$-actions with an invariant measure. It is shown how some deviations of ergodic averages can be structured.…

An open conjecture of Erdos and Moser is that the only solution of the Diophantine equation in the title is the trivial solution 1+2=3. Reducing the equation modulo k and k^2, we give necessary and sufficient conditions on solutions to the…

A minimal permutation representation of a finite group G is a faithful G-set with the smallest possible size. We study the structure of such representations and show that for certain groups they may be obtained by a greedy construction. In…

In this paper, we obtain a characterization of short normal sequences over a finite Abelian p-group, thus answering positively a conjecture of Gao for a variety of such groups. Our main result is deduced from a theorem of Alon, Friedland…
