We give a constructive proof of a theorem of Naor and Neiman, (to appear, Revista Matematica Iberoamercana), which asserts that if $(E,d)$ is a doubling metric space, there is an integer $N > 0$, that depends only on the metric doubling…

We show that for any infinite set $A$ in ${\mathbb R}$, there exists a compact set $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ of positive Lebesgue measure that does not contain any non-trivial affine copy of $A$. This proves the Erd\"os similarity…

Let $\mathcal{A}_1,\ldots,\mathcal{A}_m$ be families of $k$-subsets of an $n$-set. Suppose that one cannot choose pairwise disjoint edges from $s+1$ distinct families. Subject to this condition we investigate the maximum of…

We show that if A is a set having small subtractive doubling in an abelian group, that is |A-A|< K|A|, then there is a polynomially large subset B of A-A so that the additive energy of B is large than (1/K)^{1 - \epsilon) where epsilon is a…

Besides various asymptotic results on the concept of sum-product bases in $\mathbb{N}_0$, we consider by probabilistic arguments the existence of thin sets $A,A'$ of integers such that $AA+A=\mathbb{N}_0$ and $A'A'+A'A'=\mathbb{N}_0$.

We give a short proof of a sumset conjecture of Erd\"os, recently proved by Moreira, Richter and Robertson: every subset of the integers of positive density contains the sum of two infinite sets. The proof is written in the framework of…

We prove new results on additive properties of finite sets $A$ with small multiplicative doubling $|AA|\leq M|A|$ in the category of real/complex sets as well as multiplicative subgroups in the prime residue field. The improvements are…

We show that if a finite, large enough subset A of an arbitrary abelian group satisfies the small doubling condition |A + A| < (log |A|)^{1 - epsilon} |A|, then A must contain a three-term arithmetic progression whose terms are not all…

It was shown by V. Bergelson that any set B with positive upper multiplicative density contains nicely intertwined arithmetic and geometric progressions: For each positive integer k there exist integers a,b,d such that $ {b(a+id)^j:i,j…

Let $0 \leq s \leq 1$, and let $\mathbb{P} := \{(t,t^{2}) \in \mathbb{R}^{2} : t \in [-1,1]\}$. If $K \subset \mathbb{P}$ is a closed set with $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} K = s$, it is not hard to see that $\dim_{\mathrm{H}} (K + K) \geq 2s$. The…

We prove a sup norm bound on the real-analytic Eisenstein series, of the form $E(z, 1/2 + iT) \ll T^{3/8 + \varepsilon}$, uniformly for $z$ in a fixed compact subset of $\mathbb{H}$.

We develop novel techniques which allow us to prove a diverse range of results relating to subset sums and complete sequences of positive integers, including solutions to several longstanding open problems. These include: solutions to the…

We study the double sum $S_\varepsilon(X)$$=$$\sum_{\substack{d,e\le X}}\frac{\mu(d)\mu(e)}{[d,e]^{1+\varepsilon}}$, which converges even in the case $\varepsilon=0$, where $\mu$ denotes the M\"obius function and $[d,e]$ is the least common…

We introduce a family of maps generating continued fractions where the digit $1$ in the numerator is replaced cyclically by some given non-negative integers $(N_1,\ldots,N_m)$. We prove the convergence of the given algorithm, and study the…

Uniform asymptotic expansions are derived for the zeros of the reverse generalized Bessel polynomials of large degree $n$ and real parameter $a$. It is assumed that $-\Delta_{1} n+\frac{3}{2} \leq a \leq \Delta_{2} n$ for fixed arbitrary…

Let $s$ be the sum-of-digits function in base $2$, which returns the number of $\mathtt 1$s in the base-2 expansion of a nonnegative integer. For a nonnegative integer $t$, define the asymptotic density \[ c_t=\lim_{N\rightarrow \infty}…

Given a positive integer $m$, let $\mathbb{Z}_m$ be the set of residue classes mod $m$. For $A\subseteq \mathbb{Z}_m$ and $n\in \mathbb{Z}_m$, let $\sigma_A(n)$ be the number of solutions to the equation $n=x+y$ with $x,y\in A$. Let…

For entire Dirichlet series of the form $F(z)=\sum\limits_{n=0}^{+\infty} a_{n}e^{z\lambda_n},\ 0\le\lambda_n\uparrow+\infty\ (n\to+\infty)$, we establish conditions under which the relation $$…

For a positive integer $n \geq 2$, define $t_n$ to be the smallest number such that the additive energy $E(A)$ of any subset $A \subset \{0,1,\cdots,n-1\}^d$ and any $d$ is at most $|A|^{t_n}$. Trivially we have $t_n \leq 3$ and $$ t_n \geq…

A corollary of Kneser's theorem, one sees that any finite non-empty subset $A$ of an abelian group $G = (G,+)$ with $|A + A| \leq (2-\eps) |A|$ can be covered by at most $\frac{2}{\eps}-1$ translates of a finite group $H$ of cardinality at…
