Combining a modular approach to the $abc$ conjecture developed by the second author with the classical method of linear forms in logarithms, we obtain improved unconditional bounds for two classical problems. First, for Szpiro's conjecture…

We give a short proof of the fact that every set of natural numbers with positive upper Banach density contains the sum of two infinite sets. The approach simplifies earlier existing proofs.

We prove that the frequency of abc equations c^n = a+b satisfying the strong abc - conjecture is phi(c^n)/2+o(phi(c^n)/2), for n going to infinity.

This article investigates the exceptional set of the boundary for the following problem: \begin{equation*} \begin{aligned} -\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + \mathcal{M}_{\lambda,\Lambda}^+(D^2u) + b(x,t)\cdot Du + c(x,t)u =0 \quad \rm{in} ~…

This paper studies integer solutions to the ABC equation A+B+C=0 in which none of A, B, C has a large prime factor. Set H(A,B, C)= max(|A|,|B|,|C|) and set the smoothness S(A, B, C) to be the largest prime factor of ABC. We consider…

A power is a word of the form $\underbrace{uu...u}_{k \; \text{times}}$, where $u$ is a word and $k$ is a positive integer and a square is a word of the form $uu$. Fraenkel and Simpson conjectured in 1998 that the number of distinct squares…

Suppose that P is an infinite set of primes such that P = A + B + C, where A,B,C are sets with at least two elements. We show that if P(x) > c x/log^d x (where P(x) = the number of elements of P that are <= x), and if A,B,C is a "regular"…

A range of experimental results point to the existence of a massive neutrino. The recent high precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background and the large scale surveys of galaxies can be used to place an upper bound on this…

We obtain a series of lower bounds for the product set of combinatorial cubes, as well as some non--trivial upper estimates for the multiplicative energy of such sets.

We determine all triples $(a,b,n)$ of positive integers such that $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime and $n^k$ divides $a^n + b^n$ (respectively, $a^n - b^n$), when $k$ is the maximum of $a$ and $b$ (in fact, we answer a slightly more general…

The purpose of this article is to further explore how the structure of the affine group can be used to deduce new incidence theorems, and to explore sum-product type applications of these incidence bounds, building on the recent work of…

Motivated by a problem in additive Ramsey theory, we extend Todorcevic's partitions of three-dimensional combinatorial cubes to handle additional three-dimensional objects. As a corollary, we get that if the continuum hypothesis fails, then…
