In this paper we extend the construction of complementary series representations to convex-cocompact isometry groups of CAT(-1) spaces with conditionally negative metrics. Our approach is purely dynamical and generalizes the constructions…

An increasing sequence of positive integers $(n_k)_{k\ge 0}$ is said to be a Jamison sequence if the following property holds true: for every separable complex Banach space $X$ and every $T\in \mathcal{B}(X)$ which is partially…

The correspondence between perfect difference sets and transitive projective planes is well-known. We observe that all known dense (i.e., close to square-root size) Sidon subsets of abelian groups come from projective planes through a…

In this paper we introduce a family of examples that can be regarded as spaces of nonpositive curvature, but with the distinct quality that they are not complete as metric spaces. This amounts to the fact that they are modelled on a finite…

A sequence of non-negative integers is called a B_k sequence if all the sums of arbitrary k elements are different. In this paper, we will present a new upper bound for B_3 sequences.

The orthoscheme complex of a graded poset is a metrization of its order complex such that the simplex of each maximal chain is isometric to the Euclidean simplex of vertices $0, e_1,e_1+e_2,\ldots, e_1+e_2+ \cdots + e_n$. This notion was…

We use Sidon sets to present an elementary method to study some combinatorial problems in finite fields, such as sum product estimates, solubility of some equations and distribution of sequences in small intervals. We obtain classic and…

A Sidon set $S$ in $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ is a set such that $x+y=z+w$ has no solutions $x,y,z,w \in S$ with $x,y,z,w$ all distinct. In this paper, we prove various results on Sidon sets by using or generalizing known cryptographic results. In…

A sequence in an additively written abelian group is called zero-free if each of its nonempty subsequences has sum different from the zero element of the group. The article determines the structure of the zero-free sequences with lengths…

For an integer n, a set of m distinct nonzero integers {a_1,a_2,...,a_m} such that a_i a_j+n is a perfect square for all 0<i<j<m+1, is called a D(n)-m-tuple. In this paper, we show that there are infinitely many essentially different…

Let $\Gamma$ be an abelian group and $g \geq h \geq 2$ be integers. A set $A \subset \Gamma$ is a $C_h[g]$-set if given any set $X \subset \Gamma$ with $|X| = k$, and any set $\{ k_1 , \dots , k_g \} \subset \Gamma$, at least one of the…

A sequence of integers $ \{ s_n \}_{n \in \mathbb{N}} $ is called a T-sequence if there exists a Hausdorff group topology on $ \mathbb{Z} $ such that $ \{ s_n \}_{n \in \mathbb{N}} $ converges to zero. For every finite set of primes $ S $…

Let $(X,d)$ be a finite metric space with $|X|=n$. For a positive integer $k$ we define $A_k(X)$ to be the quotient set of all $k$-subsets of $X$ by isometry, and we denote $|A_k(X)|$ by $a_k$. The sequence $(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_{n})$ is…

We exhibit 3-generator Artin groups which have finite 2-dimensional Eilenberg-Mac Lane spaces, but which do not act properly discontinuously by semi-simple isometries on a 2-dimensional CAT(0) complex. We prove that infinitely many of these…

To flatten a set partition (with apologies to Mathematica) means to form a permutation by erasing the dividers between its blocks. Of course, the result depends on how the blocks are listed. For the usual listing--increasing entries in each…

It is well established that a general pair of twisted cubic curves in complex projective space has ten common secant lines. As an initial investigation, we show that the monodromy group of the ten common secant lines over the complex…

Aronson's sequence 1, 4, 11, 16, ... is defined by the English sentence ``t is the first, fourth, eleventh, sixteenth, ... letter of this sentence.'' This paper introduces some numerical analogues, such as: a(n) is taken to be the smallest…

It is known that the set of all nonnegative integers may be equipped with a total order that is chaotic in the sense that there is no monotone three-term arithmetic progressions. Such chaotic order must be so complicated that the resulting…

For each $n\in N ^{\ast }$, we write $s_{n}=\left( 1,\ldots ,1,0\right) $ with $n$ times $1$. For each $a \in N$, we consider the binary representation $\left( a_{i}\right) _{i\in -N }$ of $a$ with $a_{i}=0$ for nearly each $i$; we denote…

An inversion sequence of length $n$ is an integer sequence $(a_1, \ldots, a_n)$ such that $0 \le a_i < i$ for all $i$. The study of pattern-avoiding inversion sequences was initiated in 2015 by Mansour and Shattuck and in 2016 by Corteel,…
