Let $M$ be a set of positive integers. We study the maximal density $\mu(M)$ of the sets of nonnegative integers $S$ whose elements do not differ by an element in $M$. In 1973, Cantor and Gordon established a formula for $\mu(M)$ for…

If $\Lambda \subseteq \mathbb{Z}^n$ is a sublattice of index $m$, then $\mathbb{Z}^n/\Lambda$ is a finite abelian group of order $m$ and rank at most $n$. Several authors have studied statistical properties of these groups as we range over…

We consider generalized $\Lambda$-structures on algebras and schemes over the ring of integers $\mathit{O}_K$ of a number field $K$. When $K=\mathbb{Q}$, these agree with the $\lambda$-ring structures of algebraic K-theory. We then study…

We study compact embeddings of Sobolev, Besov, and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces with variable exponents on both bounded and unbounded metric measure spaces. We establish sufficient conditions for compactness, and under additional assumptions, we…

The study of automorphisms of computable and other structures connects computability theory with classical group theory. Among the noncomputable countable structures, computably enumerable structures are one of the most important objects of…

In the classical combinatorial (adaptive) group testing problem, one is given two integers \(d\) and \(n\), where \(0\le d\le n\), and a population of \(n\) items, exactly \(d\) of which are known to be defective. The question is to devise…

We prove a dichotomy between rationality and a natural boundary for the analytic behavior of the Reidemeister zeta function for automorphisms of non-finitely generated torsion abelian groups and for endomorphisms of groups $\mathbb Z_p^d,$…

Let $G$ be a connected semisimple real algebraic group and $\Gamma<G$ be its Zariski dense discrete subgroup. We prove that if $\Gamma\backslash G$ admits any finite Bowen-Margulis-Sullivan measure, then $\Gamma$ is virtually a product of…

The existence of a countably compact group without non-trivial convergent sequences in ZFC alone is a major open problem in topological group theory. We give a ZFC example of a Boolean topological group G without non-trivial convergent…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group with exponent $n$, and let $r$ be a positive integer. Let $A$ be a $k\times m$ matrix with integer entries. We show that if $A$ satisfies some natural conditions and $|G|$ is large enough then, for each…

We construct, in locally compact, second countable, amenable groups, sets with large density that fail to have certain combinatorial properties. For the property of being a shift of a set of measurable recurrence we show that this is…

Let $A$ be a semigroup whose only invertible element is 0. For an $A$-homogeneous ideal we discuss the notions of simple $i$-syzygies and simple minimal free resolutions of $R/I$. When $I$ is a lattice ideal, the simple 0-syzygies of $R/I$…

Let $\mathcal{Z(R)}$ be the set of zero divisor elements of a commutative ring $R$ with identity and $\mathcal{M}$ be the space of minimal prime ideals of $R$ with Zariski topology. An ideal $I$ of $R$ is called strongly dense ideal or…

Modifying Besicovitch's construction of a set $\mathcal{B}$ of positive integers whose set of multiples $\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{B}}$ has no asymptotic density, we provide examples of such sets $\mathcal{B}$ for which…

For an abelian topological group G let G^* denote the dual group of all continuous characters endowed with the compact open topology. Given a closed subset X of an infinite compact abelian group G such that w(X) < w(G) and an open…

We prove that if $d \ge 2$ is an integer, $G$ is a finite abelian group, $Z_0$ is a subset of $G$ not contained in any strict coset in $G$, and $E_1,\dots,E_d$ are dense subsets of $G^n$ such that the sumset $E_1+\dots+E_d$ avoids $Z_0^n$…

In this article, we establish results concerning the cohomology of Zariski dense subgroups of solvable linear algebraic groups. We show that for an irreducible solvable $\mathbb{Q}$-defined linear algebraic group $\mathbf{G}$, there exists…

A finite set of integers $A$ tiles the integers by translations if $\mathbb{Z}$ can be covered by pairwise disjoint translated copies of $A$. Restricting attention to one tiling period, we have $A\oplus B=\mathbb{Z}_M$ for some…

We establish a lower bound of 2/p(p-1) for the asymptotic density of the Motzkin numbers divisible by a general prime number p > 3. We provide a criteria for when this asymptotic density is actually 1. We also provide a partial…

Let $A$ be the product of an abelian variety and a torus over a number field $K$, and let $m$ be a positive integer. If $\alpha \in A(K)$ is a point of infinite order, we consider the set of primes $\mathfrak p$ of $K$ such that the…
