Patterns on numerical semigroups are multivariate linear polynomials, and they are said to be admissible if there exists a numerical semigroup such that evaluated at any nonincreasing sequence of elements of the semigroup gives integers…

Let $(P,\leq)$ be a finite poset (partially ordered set), where $P$ has cardinality $n$. Consider linear extensions of $P$ as permutations $x_1x_2\cdots x_n$ in one-line notation. For distinct elements $x,y\in P$, we define…

Selective ultrafilters are characterized by many equivalent properties, in particular the Ramsey property that every finite colouring of unordered pairs of integers has a homogeneous set in U, and the equivalent property that every function…

We argue that weak containment is an appropriate notion of amenability for inverse semigroups. Given an inverse semigroup $S$ and a homomorphism $\phi$ of $S$ onto a group $G$, we show, under an assumption on $\ker(\phi)$, that $S$ has weak…

Let ${\mathcal G}$ be a family of subsets of an $n$-element set. The family ${\mathcal G}$ is called $3$-wise $t$-intersecting if the intersection of any three subsets in ${\mathcal G}$ is of size at least $t$. For a real number $p\in(0,1)$…

Suppose $G$ is a finite abelian group and $S=g_{1}\cdots g_{l}$ is a sequence of elements in $G$. For any element $g$ of $G$ and $A\subseteq\mathbb{Z}\backslash\left\{ 0\right\} $, let $N_{A,g}(S)$ denote the number of subsequences…

Given a finite group $G$, we say that $G$ has weak normal covering number $\gamma_w(G)$ if $\gamma_w(G)$ is the smallest integer with $G$ admitting proper subgroups $H_1,\ldots,H_{\gamma_w(G)}$ such that each element of $G$ has a conjugate…

Let $G$ be an abelian group, let $S$ be a sequence of terms $s_1,s_2,...,s_{n}\in G$ not all contained in a coset of a proper subgroup of $G$, and let $W$ be a sequence of $n$ consecutive integers. Let $$W\odot S=\{w_1s_1+...+w_ns_n:\;w_i…

When one studies the structure (e.g. graded ideals, graded subspaces, radicals, ...) or graded polynomial identities of graded algebras, the grading group itself does not play an important role, but can be replaced by any other group that…

Let $K$ be a subgroup of a finite group $G$. The probability that an element of $G$ commutes with an element of $K$ is denoted by $Pr(K,G)$. Assume that $Pr(K,G)\geq\epsilon$ for some fixed $\epsilon>0$. We show that there is a normal…

Let $\mathbb{A} = (A, \cdot)$ be a semigroup. We generalize some recent results by G. A. Freiman, M. Herzog and coauthors on the structure theory of set addition from the context of linearly orderable groups to linearly orderable…

Let $G$ be a finite additive abelian group with exponent $n$ and $S=g_{1}\cdots g_{t}$ be a sequence of elements in $G$. For any element $g$ of $G$ and $A\subseteq\{1,2,\ldots,n-1\}$, let $N_{A,g}(S)$ denote the number of subsequences…

A sequence $s_1,s_2,\ldots, s_k$ of elements of a group $G$ is called a valid ordering if the partial products $s_1, s_1 s_2, \ldots, s_1\cdots s_k$ are all distinct. A long-standing problem in combinatorial group theory asks whether, for a…

Based on the concept of weakly meet $s_{Z}$-continuouity put forward by Xu and Luo in \cite{qzm}, we further prove that if the subset system $Z$ satisfies certain conditions, a poset is $s_{Z}$-continuous if and only if it is weakly meet…

Linear second order recursive sequences with arbitrary initial conditions are studied. For sequences with the same parameters a ring and a group is attached, and isomorphisms and homomorphisms are established for related parameters. In the…

In a finite real reflection group, the reflection length of each element is equal to the codimension of its fixed space, and the two coincident functions determine a partial order structure called the absolute order. In complex reflection…

Let $n\geq\nu$, let $T$ be an $n$-vertex tree with bipartition class sizes $t_1\geq t_2$, and let $S$ be a $\nu$-vertex tree with bipartition class sizes $\tau_1\geq\tau_2$. Using four natural constructions, we show that the Ramsey number…

A famous conjecture of Graham asserts that every set $A \subseteq \mathbb{Z}_p \setminus \{0\}$ can be ordered so that all partial sums are distinct. Although this conjecture was recently proved for sufficiently large primes by Pham and…

This paper provides a bridge between two active areas of research, the spectrum (set of element orders) and the power graph of a finite group. The order sequence of a finite group $G$ is the list of orders of elements of the group, arranged…

Given a finite poset $\mathcal P$ and two distinct elements $x$ and $y$, we let $\operatorname{pr}_{\mathcal P}(x \prec y)$ denote the fraction of linear extensions of $\mathcal P$ in which $x$ precedes $y$. The balance constant…
