Algebraic hyperstructures represent a natural extension of classical algebraic structures. In a classical algebraic structure, the composition of two elements is an element, while in an algebraic hyperstructure, the composition of two…

For an integer $b\geq 2$, a positive integer is called a $b$-Niven number if it is a multiple of the sum of the digits in its base-$b$ representation. In this article, we show that every arithmetic progression contains infinitely many…

In this paper, we describe the structure of finite groups whose element orders or proper (abelian) subgroup orders form an arithmetic progression of ratio $r\geq 2$. This extends the case $r=1$ studied in previous papers \cite{1,8,4}.

We generalize the concept of a field by allowing addition to be a partial operation. We show that elements of such a "partially additive field" share many similarities with physical quantities. In particular, they form subsets of mutually…

In this paper, we consider some additive properties of integers with restricted digit expansions. Let $b\geq 3$ be an integer and $B_b$ be the set of integers whose base $b$ expansions have only digits $\{0,1\}.$ Let $a,b,c$ be three…

We demonstrate $k+1$-term arithmetic progressions in certain subsets of the real line whose "higher-order Fourier dimension" is sufficiently close to 1. This Fourier dimension, introduced in previous work, is a higher-order (in the sense of…

Let $A$ be a subset of primes up to $x$. If we assume $A$ is well-distributed (in the Siegel-Walfisz sense) in any arithmetic progressions to moduli $q\leqslant(\log x)^c$ for any $c>0$, then the sumset $A+A$ has density 1/2 in the natural…

In this paper we study some additive properties of subsets of the set $\nats$ of positive integers: A subset $A$ of $\nats$ is called {\it $k$-summable} (where $k\in\ben$) if $A$ contains $\textstyle \big{\sum_{n\in F}x_n | \emp\neq…

A conjecture of Freiman gives an exact formula for the largest volume of a finite set $A$ of integers with given cardinality $k = |A|$ and doubling $T = |2A|$. The formula is known to hold when $T \le 3k-4$, for some small range over $3k-4$…

For finite sets of integers $A_1, A_2 ... A_n$ we study the cardinality of the $n$-fold sumset $A_1+... +A_n$ compared to those of $n-1$-fold sumsets $A_1+... +A_{i-1}+A_{i+1}+... A_n$. We prove a superadditivity and a submultiplicativity…

For an integer $b \geqslant 2$ and a set $S\subset \{0,\cdots,b-1\}$, we define the Kempner set $\mathcal{K}(S,b)$ to be the set of all non-negative integers whose base-$b$ digital expansions contain only digits from $S$. These well-studied…

We answer two questions of Kra, Moreira, Richter and Robertson regarding the existence of infinite sumsets of the form $B + C$ in dense and sparse sets of integers and the relation of sumsets to sets of recurrence. We then further…

In this article we study the notion of essential subset of an additive basis, that is to say the minimal finite subsets $P$ of a basis $A$ such that $A \setminus P$ doesn't remains a basis. The existence of an essential subset for a basis…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. A unit $u$ of $R$ is called exceptional if $1-u$ is also a unit. When $R$ is a finite commutative ring, we determine the additive and multiplicative structures of its exceptional units; and then…

Let $M$ be a left module over a ring $R$ and $I$ an ideal of $R$. $M$ is called an $I$-supplemented module (finitely $I$-supplemented module) if for every submodule (finitely generated submodule) $X$ of $M$, there is a submodule $Y$ of $M$…

In the several contexts such as combinatorial number theory, families of sets of positive integers closed under taking subsets have been investigated. Then it is sometimes useful to give bijections between the set of the one-sided infinite…

By an additive structure on a hypersurface S in projective space we mean an effective action of commutative unipotent group on projective space which leaves S invariant and acts on S with an open orbit. It is known that these structures…

Under what circumstances might every extension of a combinatorial structure contain more copies of another one than the original did? This property, which we call prolificity, holds universally in some cases (e.g., finite linear orders) and…

Every semigroup which is a finite disjoint union of copies of the free monogenic semigroup (natural numbers under addition) is finitely presented and residually finite.

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a set of points in the plane, and $\mathcal{S}$ a strictly convex set of points. In this note, we show that if $\mathcal{P}$ contains many translates of $\mathcal{S}$, then these translates must come from a generalized…
