We introduce the cone of completely-positive functions, a subset of the cone of positive-type functions, and use it to fully characterize maximum-density distance-avoiding sets as the optimal solutions of a convex optimization problem. As a…

For a Banach space $X$ by $Conv_H(X)$ we denote the space of non-empty closed convex subsets of $X$, endowed with the Hausdorff metric. We prove that for any closed convex set $C\subset X$ and its metric component $H_C=\{A\in…

A result due to Gy\'arf\'as, Hubenko, and Solymosi (answering a question of Erd\"os) states that if a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices does not contain $K_{2,2}$ as an induced subgraph yet has at least $c\binom{n}{2}$ edges, then $G$ has a…

Let $f\colon X\to Y$ be a $\sigma$-perfect $k$-dimensional surjective map of metrizable spaces such that $\dim Y\leq m$. It is shown that, for every positive integer $p\geq 1$ there exists a dense $G_{\delta}$-subset ${\mathcal H}(k,m,p)$…

We prove the following result. Let k be an infinite perfect field of positive characteristic and assume that strong resolution of singularities holds over k. Let R be a localization of a commutative d-dimensional k-algebra of finite type…

We establish the test which allows to show that a mean does not admit a weak-Hardy property. As a result we prove that Hardy and weak-Hardy properties are equivalent in the class of homogeneous, symmetric, repetition invariant, and Jensen…

A new proof of Oka's lemma is given for smoothly bounded, pseudoconvex domains $D\subset\mathbb{C}^n$. The method of proof is then also applied to other convexity-like hypotheses on the boundary of $D$.

The investigation of primes in certain arithmetic sequences is one of the fundamental problems in number theory and especially, finding blocks of distinct primes has gained a lot of attention in recent years. In this context, we prove the…

A subalgebra B of a Lie algebra L is called a c-ideal of L if there is an ideal C of L such that L = B + C and B \cap C \leq B_L, where B_L is the largest ideal of $L$ contained in B. This is analogous to the concept of c-normal subgroup,…

Let $K$ be a function field of a curve in characteristic zero or a number field over which the $abc$-conjecture holds, fix $\alpha\in K$, and let $f_{d,c}(x)=x^d+c$ for some $d\geq2$ and some $c\in K$. Then for many $c$ and $d$, we prove…

A subset of the d-dimensional Euclidean space having nonempty interior is called a spindle convex body if it is the intersection of (finitely or infinitely many) congruent d-dimensional closed balls. The spindle convex body is called a…

The density property for a Stein manifold X implies that the group of holomorphic diffeomorphisms of X is infinite-dimensional and, in a certain well-defined sense, as large as possible. We prove that if G is a complex semisimple Lie group…

Let a $R$-body be a closed set, complement of union of open balls of radius $R$ in the Euclidean space. Properties generalizing similar ones for convex sets are proved for the family of $R$-bodies; properties for the family of sets…

We prove a codimension reduction and congruence theorem for compact $n$-dimensional submanifolds of $\mathbb{S}^{n+p}$ that admit a mean convex isometric embedding into $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}_+$ using a Reilly type formula for space forms.

In this paper we prove a strong Hahn-Banach theorem: separation of disjoint convex sets by linear forms is possible without any further conditions, if the target field $\R$ is replaced by a more general real closed extension field. From…

We pose 100 new conjectures on representations involving primes or related things, which might interest number theorists and stimulate further research. Below are five typical examples: (i) For any positive integer $n$, there exists…

We study combinatorial properties of convex sets over arbitrary valued fields. We demonstrate analogs of some classical results for convex sets over the reals (e.g. the fractional Helly theorem and B\'ar\'any's theorem on points in many…

We show quantitative versions of classic results in discrete geometry, where the size of a convex set is determined by some non-negative function. We give versions of this kind for the selection theorem of B\'ar\'any, the existence of weak…

The ball hypergraph of a graph $G$ is the family of balls of all possible centers and radii in $G$. It has Helly number at most $k$ if every subfamily of $k$-wise intersecting balls has a nonempty common intersection. A graph is $k$-Helly…

Bennett, Hart, Iosevich, Pakianathan, and Rudnev found an exponent $s<d$ such that any set $E\subset \mathbb{F}_q^d$ with $|E|\gtrsim q^s$ determines $\gtrsim q^{\binom{k+1}{2}}$ congruence classes of $(k+1)$-point configurations for $k\leq…
