The celebrated theorem of Gromov asserts that any finitely generated group with polynomial growth contains a nilpotent subgroup of finite index. Alternative proofs have been given by Kleiner and others. In this note, we give yet another…

We prove the so-called inverse conjecture for the Gowers U^{s+1}-norm in the case s = 3 (the cases s < 3 being established in previous literature). That is, we establish that if f : [N] -> C is a function with |f(n)| <= 1 for all n and || f…

We prove a first inverse theorem for Gowers norms on all finite abelian groups that uses only nilmanifolds (rather than possibly more general nilspaces). This makes progress toward confirming the Jamneshan--Tao conjecture. The correlating…

Over a decade ago De Loera, Haws and K\"oppe conjectured that Ehrhart polynomials of matroid polytopes have only positive coefficients and that the coefficients of the corresponding $h^*$-polynomials form a unimodal sequence. The first of…

Of the $(2H+1)^n$ monic integer polynomials $f(x)=x^n+a_1 x^{n-1}+\cdots+a_n$ with $\max\{|a_1|,\ldots,|a_n|\}\leq H$, how many have associated Galois group that is not the full symmetric group $S_n$? There are clearly $\gg H^{n-1}$ such…

The polynomial version of van der Waerden's theorem, proved using dynamical systems by V. Bergelson and A. Leibman in 1996, \cite{Bergelson1996}, significantly highlighted the role of dynamical systems in addressing problems related to…

We construct uncountably categorical 3-nilpotent groups of exponent p > 3. They are not one-based and do not allow the interpretation of an infinite field. Therefore they are counterexamples to Zilbers Conjecture. First 2-nilpotent new…

Van der Waerden's theorem states that for any positive integers $k$ and $r$, there exists a smallest value $n = w(k,r)$, called the van der Waerden number, such that every $r$-coloring of $\{1,\dots,n\}$ contains a monochromatic $k$-term…

We prove the following: there is a primitive recursive function f_-^*(-,-), in the three variables, such that: for every natural numbers t,n>0, and c, for any natural number k>=f^*_t(n,c) the following holds. Assume L is an alphabet with…

We present a short new proof of the canonical polynomial van der Waerden theorem, recently established by Girao [arXiv:2004.07766].

We show that if $A$ is a finite $K$-approximate subgroup of an $s$-step nilpotent group then there is a finite normal subgroup $H\subset A^{K^{O_s(1)}}$ modulo which $A^{O_s(\log^{O_s(1)}K)}$ contains a nilprogression of rank at most…

We provide a new, geometric proof of the motivic monodromy conjecture for non-degenerate hypersurfaces in dimension $3$, which has been proven previously by the work of Lemahieu--Van Proeyen and Bories--Veys. More generally, given a…

In this project we show the existence of arbitrary length arithmetic progressions in model sets and Meyer sets in the Euclidean $d$-space. We prove a van der Waerden type theorem for Meyer sets. We show that pure point subsets of Meyer sets…

This paper deals with a modifed iterative projection method for approximating a solution of hierarchical fixed point problems for nearly nonexpansive mappings. Some strong convergence theorems for the proposed method are presented under…

In this paper we obtain new quantitative forms of Hilbert's Irreducibility Theorem. In particular, we show that if $f(X, T_1, \ldots, T_s)$ is an irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients, having Galois group $G$ over the function…

We analyze the strength of the existence of idempotent ultrafilters in higher-order reverse mathematics. Let (Uidem) be the statement that an idempotent ultrafilter on the natural numbers exists. We show that over ACA_0^w, the higher-order…

This is a companion paper to arXiv:2312.10772. We deduce an equidistribution theorem for periodic nilsequences and use this theorem to give two applications in arithmetic combinatorics. The first application is quasi-polynomial bounds for a…

We present a different proof of the characterization of non--degenerate recurrence sequences, which are also divisibility sequences, given by Van der Poorten, Bezevin, and Petho in their paper "A Full Characterisation of Divisibility…

Given $s \ge k\ge 3$, let $h^{(k)}(s)$ be the minimum $t$ such that there exist arbitrarily large $k$-uniform hypergraphs $H$ whose independence number is at most polylogarithmic in the number of vertices and in which every $s$ vertices…

We provide new and purely combinatorial proofs of two infinite extensions of the Hales--Jewett theorem. The first one is due to T. Carlson and S. Simpson and the second one is due T. Carlson. Both concern infinite increasing sequences of…
