Let $\gamma_0=\frac{\sqrt5-1}{2}=0.618\ldots$ . We prove that, for any $\varepsilon>0$ and any trigonometric polynomial $f$ with frequencies in the set $\{n^2: N \leqslant n\leqslant N+N^{\gamma_0-\varepsilon}\}$, the inequality $$ \|f\|_4…

By using the work of Frantzikinakis and Wierdl, we can see that for all $d\in\mathbb{N}$, $\alpha\in(d,d+1)$, and integers $k\ge d+2$ and $r\ge1$, there exist infinitely many $n\in\mathbb{N}$ such that the sequence…

Suppose $\Omega\subseteq\RR^d$ is a bounded and measurable set and $\Lambda \subseteq \RR^d$ is a lattice. Suppose also that $\Omega$ tiles multiply, at level $k$, when translated at the locations $\Lambda$. This means that the…

The main result of this paper is the following: for all $b \in \mathbb Z$ there exists $k=k(b)$ such that \[ \max \{ |A^{(k)}|, |(A+u)^{(k)}| \} \geq |A|^b, \] for any finite $A \subset \mathbb Q$ and any non-zero $u \in \mathbb Q$. Here,…

There has been recent interest in a hybrid form of the celebrated conjectures of Hardy-Littlewood and of Chowla. We prove that for any $k,\ell\ge1$ and distinct integers $h_2,\ldots,h_k,a_1,\ldots,a_\ell$, we have $$\sum_{n\leq…

The concept of uniform distribution in $[0,1]$ is extended for a certain strictly separated maximal (in the sense of cardinality) family $(\lambda_t)_{t \in [0,1]}$ of invariant extensions of the linear Lebesgue measure $\lambda$ in…

For a word $\pi$ and integer $i$, we define $L^i(\pi)$ to be the length of the longest subsequence of the form $i(i+1)\cdots j$, and we let $L(\pi):=\max_i L^i(\pi)$. In this paper we estimate the expected values of $L^1(\pi)$ and $L(\pi)$…

For a periodic function $f$ with bounded variation and integral zero on its period interval, we show that $\sum_{k=1}^\infty c_k^2 (\log\log k)^\gamma <\infty$, $\gamma>4$ implies the almost everywhere convergence of $\sum_{k=1}^\infty c_k…

We prove bounds of the form $\sum_{e\in I\cap\sigma_\di (H)} \dist (e,\sigma_\e (H))^{1/2} \leq L^1$-norm of a perturbation, where $I$ is a gap. Included are gaps in continuum one-dimensional periodic Schr\"odinger operators and finite gap…

We show that for any set $A \subset \mathbb{N}$ with positive upper density and any $\ell,m \in \mathbb{N}$, there exist an infinite set $B\subset \mathbb{N}$ and some $t\in \mathbb{N}$ so that $\{mb_1 + \ell b_2 \colon b_1,b_2\in B\…

In this paper we prove the concavity of the $k$-trace functions, $A\mapsto (\text{Tr}_k[\exp(H+\ln A)])^{1/k}$, on the convex cone of all positive definite matrices. $\text{Tr}_k[A]$ denotes the $k_{\mathrm{th}}$ elementary symmetric…

Let S_n=X_1+...+X_n be a sum of independent symmetric random variables such that |X_{i}|\leq 1. Denote by W_n=\epsilon_{1}+...+\epsilon_{n} a sum of independent random variables such that \prob{\eps_i = \pm 1} = 1/2. We prove that…

Zeckendorf proved that every integer can be written uniquely as a sum of non-adjacent Fibonacci numbers $\{1,2,3,5,\dots\}$. This has been extended to many other recurrence relations $\{G_n\}$ (with their own notion of a legal…

By a classical result of Weyl, for any increasing sequence $(n_k)_{k \geq 1}$ of integers the sequence of fractional parts $(\{n_k x\})_{k \geq 1}$ is uniformly distributed modulo 1 for almost all $x \in [0,1]$. Except for a few special…

For a finite set $A\subset \mathbb{R}$ and real $\lambda$, let $A+\lambda A:=\{a+\lambda b :\, a,b\in A\}$. Combining a structural theorem of Freiman on sets with small doubling constants together with a discrete analogue of…

Let A be a finite set of integers and F_A its exponential sum. McGehee, Pigno & Smith and Konyagin have independently proved that the L^1-norm of F_A is at least c log|A| for some absolute constant c. The lower bound has the correct order…

In this paper we give alternate proofs of some well-known matrix inequalities. In particular, we show that under certain conditions the inequality holds \begin{align}\sum \limits_{\lambda_i\in \mathrm{Spec}(ab^{T})}\mathrm{min}\{\log…

Let $\Phi_{\Lambda_{n}}$ be the unique solution of the differential operator $L=\prod_{j=0}^{n}\left( \frac{d}{dx}-\lambda_{j}\right) $ such that $\Phi_{\Lambda_{n}}^{\left( j\right) }\left( 0\right) =0$ for $j=0,...,n-1,$ and…

We study the set of $k$-abelian critical exponents of all Sturmian words. It has been proven that in the case $k = 1$ this set coincides with the Lagrange spectrum. Thus the sets obtained when $k > 1$ can be viewed as generalized Lagrange…

Let $L=(L_d)_{d \in \mathbb N}$ be any ordered probability sequence, i.e., satisfying $0 < L_{d+1} \le L_d$ for each $d \in \mathbb N$ and $\sum_{d \in \mathbb N} L_d =1$. We construct sequences $A = (a_i)_{i \in \mathbb N}$ on the…
