We establish that any subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$ of positive upper Banach density necessarily contains an isometric copy of all sufficiently large dilates of any fixed two-dimensional rectangle provided $d\geq4$. We further present an…

A set of integers $S \subset \mathbb{N}$ is an $\alpha$-strong Sidon set if the pairwise sums of its elements are far apart by a certain measure depending on $\alpha$, more specifically if $| (x+w) - (y+z) | \geq \max \{…

We study finite subsets of $\ell_p$ and show that, up to nowhere dense and Haar null complement, all of them embed isometrically into any Banach space that uniformly contains the spaces $\ell_p^n$, $n \in \mathbb{N}$.

In this paper, we study the density of subsets of nonabelian free groups using relative densities of languages. We start by proving some basic properties about the density of a language $L_1$ relative to another language $L_2$ containing…

Extending the classical notion of the spreading model, the $k$-spreading models of a Banach space are introduced, for every $k\in\mathbb{N}$. The definition, which is based on the $k$-sequences and plegma families, reveals a new class of…

We show that if $A=\{a_1,a_2,..., a_k\}$ is a monotone increasing set of numbers, and the differences of the consecutive elements are all distinct, then $|A+B|\geq c|A|^{1/2}|B|$ for any finite set of numbers $B$. The bound is tight up to…

We prove that if an infinite, discrete semigroup has the property that every right syndetic set is left syndetic, then the semigroup has a left invariant mean. We prove that the weak*-closed convex hull of the two-sided translates of every…

We study additive properties of consecutive prime numbers and the primality of the sums they generate. For a given prime number $p_n$, we consider the sums \[ S_k(p_n) = p_n + p_{n+1} + \cdots + p_{n+k-1}, \] where $k \ge 3$ is an odd…

We prove that for every number k each countable infinite group $G$ admits a partition $G=A\cup B$ into two sets which are $k$-meager in the sense that for every $k$-element subset $K\subset G$ the sets $KA$ and $KB$ are not thick. The proof…

A finite set of integers $A$ is a sum-dominant (also called an More Sums Than Differences or MSTD) set if $|A+A| > |A-A|$. While almost all subsets of $\{0, \dots, n\}$ are not sum-dominant, interestingly a small positive percentage are. We…

We study completely syndetic (CS) sets in discrete groups - subsets that for every natural n admit finitely many left translates that jointly cover every n-tuple of group elements. While for finitely-generated groups, the non-virtually…

It was proved that whenever N is partitioned into finitely many cells, one cell must contain arbitrary length geo-arithmetic progressions. It was also proved that arithmetic and geometric progressions can be nicely intertwined in one cell…

We prove finiteness properties for groups of homeomorphisms that have finitely many "singular points", and we describe the normal structure of such groups. As an application, we prove that every countable abelian group can be embedded into…

More than twenty years ago, Manickam, Mikl\'{o}s, and Singhi conjectured that for any integers $n, k$ satisfying $n \geq 4k$, every set of $n$ real numbers with nonnegative sum has at least $\binom{n-1}{k-1}$ $k$-element subsets whose sum…

A translation of Emmy Noether's paper "Der Endlichkeitsatz der Invarianten endlicher Gruppen" (Mathematische Annalen, vol. 77, 1920, pages 89--92). In Noether's words, the paper gives "an entirely elementary finiteness proof---using only…

In a previous note the author gave an example of a strong Ditkin algebra which does not have bounded relative units in the sense of Dales. In this note we investigate a certain family of Banach function algebras on the one point…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of Betti numbers, twisted torsion and other spectral invariants of sequences of locally symmetric spaces. Our main results are uniform versions of the DeGeorge--Wallach Theorem, of a theorem of Delorme and…

Assuming the validity of Dickson's conjecture, we show that the set $\mathcal{V}$ of values of the Euler's totient function $\varphi$ contains arbitrarily large arithmetic progressions with common difference 4. This leads to the question of…

We review the basic theory of More Sums Than Differences (MSTD) sets, specifically their existence, simple constructions of infinite families, the proof that a positive percentage of sets under the uniform binomial model are MSTD but not if…

Let $d \geq 3$ be a natural number. We show that for all finite, non-empty sets $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ that are not contained in a translate of a hyperplane, we have \[ |A-A| \geq (2d-2)|A| - O_d(|A|^{1- \delta}),\] where $\delta >0$ is…
