We establish an equidistribution result for push-forwards of certain locally finite algebraic measures in the adelic extension of the space of lattices in the plane. As an application of our analysis we obtain new results regarding the…
For any constants $d\ge 1$, $\epsilon >0$, $t>1$, and any $n$-point set $P\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, we show that there is a geometric graph $G=(P,E)$ having $O(n\log^2 n\log\log n)$ edges with the following property: For any $F\subseteq P$,…
Let $q,d\geq 2$ be integers. Define $$ J(q,d):=\frac 1q \Big( \min_{0<x<1} \frac{1-x^q}{1-x} x^{-\frac{q-1}{d}}\Big). $$ Let $\mbox{$\cal G$}\subseteq {\mathbb R}^n$ be an arbitrary subset. We denote by $d(\mbox{$\cal G$})$ the set of…
We study equations of the form $\sigma(p^{q-1})=Az$, where $p$ is a prime, $q$ is a fixed odd prime, $A$ is a fixed integer and $z$ is an integer composed of primes in a fixed finite set. We shall improve upper bounds for the size and the…
A general hypergeometric construction of linear forms in (odd) zeta values is presented. The construction allows to recover the records of Rhin and Viola for the irrationality measures of $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3)$, as well as to explain…
The Erd\H{o}s-Ginzburg-Ziv constant of an abelian group $G$, denoted $\mathfrak{s}(G)$, is the smallest $k\in\mathbb{N}$ such that any sequence of elements of $G$ of length $k$ contains a zero-sum subsequence of length $\exp(G)$. In this…
Pach showed that every $d+1$ sets of points $Q_1,\dotsc,Q_{d+1} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ contain linearly-sized subsets $P_i\subset Q_i$ such that all the transversal simplices that they span intersect. We show, by means of an example, that a…
Extending results of Linial (1984) and Aigner (1985), we prove a uniform lower bound on the balance constant of a poset $P$ of width $2$. This constant is defined as $\delta(P) = \max_{(x, y)\in P^2}\min\{\mathbb{P}(x\prec y),…
With the help of Wick rotation over $p$-adic numbers $\mathbb{Q}_p$, the $p$-adic version of Euclidean $\textrm{dS}_2$ space(noted as $p\textrm{dS}_2$) is obtained based on $p\textrm{AdS}_2$($p$-adic version of Euclidean $\textrm{AdS}_2$…
Let $A$ be a finite subset of an abelian group $G$, and suppose that $|A+A|\leq K|A|$. We show that for any $\epsilon>0$, there exists a constant $C_\epsilon$ such that $A$ can be covered by at most $\exp(C_\epsilon \log(2K)^{1+\epsilon})$…
We prove that if $\delta>0$ and $p$ is real then $$ \sup_T \int_T^{T+\delta} |\zeta(1+it)|^p dt <\infty,$$ if and only if $-1<p<1$. Furthermore, we show the omega estimates $$ \int_T^{T+\delta} |\zeta(1+it)|^{\pm 1} dt = \Omega(\log \log…
Let $\chi$ be a Dirichlet character mod $D$ with $L(s,\chi)$ its associated $L$-function, and let $\psi(x,q,a)$ be, as usual, Chebyshev's prime-counting function for the primes of the arithmetic progression $a$ (mod $q$) with $(a,q)=1$. For…
Reliable spanners can withstand huge failures, even when a linear number of vertices are deleted from the network. In case of failures, a reliable spanner may have some additional vertices for which the spanner property no longer holds, but…
For prime powers q, let s(q) denote the probability that a randomly-chosen principally-polarized abelian surface over the finite field F_q is not simple. We show that there are positive constants B and C such that for all q, B (log…
It is shown how Andrews' multidimensional extension of Watson's transformation between a very-well-poised $_8\phi_7$-series and a balanced $_4\phi_3$-series can be used to give a straightforward proof of a conjecture of Zudilin and the…
In this paper, we prove the following two results. Let $d$ be a natural number and $q,s$ be co-prime integers such that $1 < qs$. Then there exists a constant $\delta > 0$ depending only on $q,s$ and $d$ such that for any finite subset $A$…
Let $\chi$ denote a primitive, non-quadratic Dirichlet character with conductor $q$, and let $L(s, \chi)$ denote its associated Dirichlet $L$-function. We show that $|L(1, \chi)| \geq 1/(9.12255 \log(q/\pi))$ for sufficiently large $q$, and…
We generalize H\r{a}stad's long-code test for projection games and show that it remains complete and sound against entangled provers. Combined with a result of Dong et al. \cite{Dong25}, which establishes that $\MIP^*=\RE$ with…
Starting with topological field theories we investigate the Ray-Singer analytic torsion in three dimensions. For the lens Spaces L(p;q) an explicit analytic continuation of the appropriate zeta functions is contructed and implemented. Among…
We prove the irrationality of the classical Dirichlet L-value $L(2,\chi_{-3})$. The argument applies a new kind of arithmetic holonomy bound to a well-known construction of Zagier. In fact our work also establishes the $\mathbf{Q}$-linear…
