Given a positive integer $M$ and a real number $q >1$, a \emph{$q$-expansion} of a real number $x$ is a sequence $(c_i)=c_1c_2\cdots$ with $(c_i) \in \{0,\ldots,M\}^\infty$ such that \[x=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} c_iq^{-i}.\] It is well known…

Let $\{x\_n\}\_{n\geq 0}$ be a sequence of $[0,1]^d$, $\{\lambda\_n\} \_{n\geq 0}$ a sequence of positive real numbers converging to 0, and $\delta>1$. Let $\mu$ be a positive Borel measure on $[0,1]^d$, $\rho\in (0,1]$ and $\alpha>0$.…

The concept of bounded expansion provides a robust way to capture sparse graph classes with interesting algorithmic properties. Most notably, every problem definable in first-order logic can be solved in linear time on bounded expansion…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated pro-$p$ group, equipped with the $p$-power series. The associated metric and Hausdorff dimension function give rise to the Hausdorff spectrum, which consists of the Hausdorff dimensions of closed subgroups of…

We deal with Besicovitch's problem of existence of discrete orbits for transitive cylindrical transformations $T_\varphi:(x,t)\mapsto(x+\alpha,t+\varphi(x))$ where $Tx=x+\alpha$ is an irrational rotation on the circle $\T$ and…

Let $S \subseteq \mathbb{N}$ have the property that for each $k \in S$ the set $(S - k) \cap \mathbb{N} \setminus S$ has asymptotic density $0$. We prove that there exists a basic sequence $Q$ where the set of numbers $Q$-normal of all…

Let $0 \leq s \leq 1$ and $0 \leq t \leq 2$. An $(s,t)$-Furstenberg set is a set $K \subset \mathbb{R}^{2}$ with the following property: there exists a line set $\mathcal{L}$ of Hausdorff dimension $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} \mathcal{L} \geq t$…

We obtain box-counting estimates for the pinned distance sets of (dense subsets of) planar discrete Ahlfors-regular sets of exponent $s>1$. As a corollary, we improve upon a recent result of Orponen, by showing that if $A$ is…

In this paper, we consider the positional numeration system, called the Cantor real expansion, on the unit interval $[\gamma, \gamma+1]$, where $\gamma \in \mathbb{R}$, with respect to an alternate base (i.e., a base which is a purely…

In this paper, we study pointed rank one Hopf algebras and Hopf-Ore extensions of group algebras, over an arbitrary field $k$. It is proved that the rank of a Hopf-Ore extension of a group algebra is one or two or infinite. It is also shown…

In this paper, we will introduce and study the lower moving digit mean $\underline{M}(x)$ and the upper moving digit mean $\overline{M}(x)$ of $x\in[0,1]$ in $p$-adic expansion, where $p\geq2$ is an integer. Moreover, the Hausdorff…

We consider the continued fraction expansion of real numbers under the action of a non-uniform lattice in PSL(2,R) and prove metric relations between the convergents and a natural geometric notion of good approximations.

In this paper we study the topology of a set naturally arising from the study of $\beta$-expansions. After proving several elementary results for this set we study the case when our base is Pisot. In this case we give necessary and…

We formulate a multi-valued version of the Tietze-Urysohn extension theorem. Precisely, we prove that any upper semicontinuous multi-valued map with nonempty closed convex values defined on a closed subset (resp. closed perfectly normal…

The problem of characterizing which automatic sets of integers are stable is here solved. Given a positive integer $d$ and a subset $A\subseteq \mathbb{Z}$ whose set of representations base $d$ is recognized by a finite automaton, a…

Expansions of the monadic second-order (MSO) theory of the structure $\langle \mathbb{N} ; < \rangle$ have been a fertile and active area of research ever since the publication of the seminal papers of B\"uchi and Elgot & Rabin on the…

When does a Noetherian commutative ring $R$ have uniform symbolic topologies on primes--read, when does there exist an integer $D>0$ such that the symbolic power $P^{(Dr)} \subseteq P^r$ for all prime ideals $P \subseteq R$ and all $r >0$?…

The Hausdorff dimension of a set can be detected using the Riesz energy. Here, we consider situations where a sequence of points, $\{x_n\}$, ``fills in'' a set $E \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ in an appropriate sense and investigate the degree to…

This paper provides a first example of a model theoretically well behaved structure consisting of a proper o-minimal expansion of the real field and a dense multiplicative subgroup of finite rank. Under certain Schanuel conditions, a…
