We show that if $A\subset \{1,\ldots,N\}$ has no solutions to $a-b=n^2$ with $a,b\in A$ and $n\geq 1$ then \[|A|\ll \frac{N}{(\log N)^{c\log\log \log N}}\] for some absolute constant $c>0$. This improves upon a result of…

The Euler-$\alpha$ equations model the averaged motion of an ideal incompressible fluid when filtering over spatial scales smaller than $\alpha$. We show that there exists $\beta>1$ such that weak solutions to the two and three dimensional…

We construct skew corner-free subsets of $[n]^2$ of size $n^2\exp(-O(\sqrt{\log n}))$, thereby improving on recent bounds of the form $\Omega(n^{5/4})$ obtained by Pohoata and Zakharov. In the other direction, we prove that any such set has…

We prove an upper bound for the number of representations of a positive integer $N$ as the sum of four $k$-th powers of integers of size at most $B$, using a new version of the Determinant method developed by Heath-Brown, along with recent…

In the present paper we show that if A is a set of n real numbers, and the product set A.A has at most n^(1+c) elements, then the k-fold sumset kA has at least n^(log(k/2)/2 log 2 + 1/2 - f_k(c)) elements, where f_k(c) -> 0 as c -> 0. We…

We prove a tight quantum query lower bound $\Omega(n^{k/(k+1)})$ for the problem of deciding whether there exist $k$ numbers among $n$ that sum up to a prescribed number, provided that the alphabet size is sufficiently large. This is an…

We establish a new $W^{1,2\frac{n-1}{n-2}}$ estimate for the extremal solution of $-\Delta u=\lambda f(u)$ in a smooth bounded domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$, which is convex, for arbitrary positive and increasing nonlinearities $f\in…

We show that for any finite-rank free group $\Gamma$, any word-equation in one variable of length $n$ with constants in $\Gamma$ fails to be satisfied by some element of $\Gamma$ of word-length $O(\log (n))$. By a result of the first…

It is an open problem whether $ \binom{2n}{n} $ is divisible by 4 or 9 for all $n>256$. In connection with this, we prove that for a fixed uneven $m$ the asymptotic density of $k$'s such that $ m \nmid \binom{2^{k+1}}{2^{k}} $ is 0. To do…

We prove that if $A\subset \{1,\dots,N\}$ has no nontrivial three-term arithmetic progressions, then $|A|\leq \exp(-c\log(N)^{1/6}\log\log(N)^{-1})N$ for some absolute constant $c>0$. To obtain this bound, we use an iterated variant of the…

Let $k$ and $n$ be positive integers, $n>k$. Define $r(n,k)$ to be the minimum positive value of $$ |\sqrt{a_1} + ... + \sqrt{a_k} - \sqrt{b_1} - >... -\sqrt{b_k} | $$ where $ a_1, a_2, ..., a_k, b_1, b_2, ..., b_k $ are positive integers…

We show that for all integers $2\le s\le t$, any $K_{s,t}$-free subset of $[N]$ with size $\Omega(n^{1-1/s})$ must contain a nontrivial solution to every fixed translation-invariant linear equation in at least five variables. This extends…

We study translation-invariant additive equations of the form $\sum_{i=1}^s \lambda_i \mathbf{P}(\mathbf{n}_i) = 0$ in variables $\mathbf{n}_i \in \mathbb{Z}^d$, where the $\lambda_i$ are nonzero integers summing to zero, and $\mathbf{P}$…

In the present paper we prove a certain lemma about the structure of "lower level-sets of convolutions", which are sets of the form $\{x \in \Z_N : 1_A*1_A(x) \leq \gamma N\}$ or of the form $\{x \in \Z_N : 1_A*1_A(x) < \gamma N\}$, where…

Denote by $p(k)$ the limit, as $n \rightarrow \infty$, of the probability that a random permutation on a set of size $n$ has an invariant set of size $k$. We give an asymptotic formula for $p(k)$, showing that it is asymptotically…

In this work, we establish the existence of solutions that change sign at low energy for a non-local weighted Kirchhoff problem in the set $\mathbb{R}^{N}, N>2$. The non-linearity of the equation is assumed to have exponential growth in…

Using graph-theoretic methods we give a new proof that for all sufficiently large $n$, there exist sphere packings in $\R^n$ of density at least $cn2^{-n}$, exceeding the classical Minkowski bound by a factor linear in $n$. This matches up…
