Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$, $M$ an arbitrary $R$-module and $X$ a finite $R$-module. We prove that the category of $\fa$-cominimax modules is a Melkersson subcategory of $R$-modules whenever $\dim R\leq…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group acting by probability measure preserving maps on the standard Borel space $(X,\mu)$. We show that if $H\leq\Gamma$ is a subgroup with relative spectral radius greater than the global spectral…

This is an expository paper. It is not difficult to see that every group homomorphism from the additive group Z of integers to the additive group R of real numbers extends to a homomorphism from R to R. We discuss other examples of discrete…

Erd\H{o}s conjectured that for any set $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ with positive lower asymptotic density, there are infinite sets $B,C\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ such that $B+C\subseteq A$. We verify Erd\H{o}s' conjecture in the case that $A$ has…

In this paper, we classify all finite groups $G$ which have the following property: for all subsets $A \subseteq G$, we have $|AA^{-1}| = |A^{-1}A|$. This question is motivated by the problem in additive combinatorics of More Sums Than…

We observe that there exists an associative finite dimensional $\mathbb{C}$-algebra $A$ of finite global dimension, such that the bounded derived category $D^b(A)$ of finite dimensional $A$-modules admits an admissible subcategory…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field and $\mathsf{G}$ a group. This work is inspired in the following problem: "{\it given a division (simple) $\mathsf{G}$-graded $\mathbb{F}$-algebra, is there any other division (simple) $\mathsf{G}$-graded…

Let F be a finite field with q elements, let A be a finite dimensional F-algebra and let J=J(A) be the Jacobson radical of A. Then G=1+J is a p-group, where p is the characteristic of F. We refer to G as an F-algebra group. A subgroup H of…

For entire Dirichlet series of the form $F(z)=\sum\limits_{n=0}^{+\infty} a_{n}e^{z\lambda_n},\ 0\le\lambda_n\uparrow+\infty\ (n\to+\infty)$, we establish conditions under which the relation $$…

A conjecture of Graham (repeated by Erd\H{o}s) asserts that for any set $A \subseteq \mathbb{F}_p \setminus \{0\}$, there is an ordering $a_1, \ldots, a_{|A|}$ of the elements of $A$ such that the partial sums $a_1, a_1+a_2, \ldots,…

Let $A\subset [1,x]$ be a non-empty set of primes with $|A|= \alpha x(\log x)^{-1}$. We prove that there exist absolute constants $c_1,c_2>0$ such that, as $x$ gets sufficiently large, we have $|A+A|\geq c_1(\log x)(\log \log…

Many fundamental questions in additive number theory (such as Goldbach's conjecture, Fermat's last theorem, and the Twin Primes conjecture) can be expressed in the language of sum and difference sets. As a typical pair of elements…

We show that a real sequence $x$ is convergent if and only if there exist a regular matrix $A$ and an $F_{\sigma\delta}$-ideal $\mathcal{I}$ on $\mathbf{N}$ such that the set of subsequences $y$ of $x$ for which $Ay$ is…

For sets $A, B\subset \mathbb N$, their sumset is $A + B := \{a+b: a\in A, b\in B\}$. If we cannot write a set $C$ as $C = A+B$ with $|A|, |B|\geq 2$, then we say that $C$ is $\textit{irreducible}$. The question of whether a given set $C$…

Given a dense additive subgroup $G$ of $\mathbb R$ containing $\mathbb Z$, we consider its intersection $\mathbb G$ with the interval $[0,1[$ with the induced order and the group structure given by addition modulo $1$. We axiomatize the…

By means of the direct limit technique, with every normed space X it is associated a bidualic (Banach) space $\tilde{X} (D^2( \tilde{X}) \cong \tilde{X} $ - called the hyperdual of $X$) that contains (isometrically embedded) $X$ as well as…

The following problem is considered: if $H$ is a semiregular abelian subgroup of a transitive permutation group $G$ acting on a finite set $X$, find conditions for (non) existence of $G$-invariant partitions of $X$. Conditions presented in…

In this paper we extend the notion of digraphical regular representations in the context of Haar digraphs. Given a group $G$, a {\em Haar digraph} $\Gamma$ over $G$ is a bipartite digraph having a bipartition $\{X,Y\}$ such that $G$ is a…

We give an 'arithmetic regularity lemma' for groups definable in finite fields, analogous to Tao's 'algebraic regularity lemma' for graphs definable in finite fields. More specifically, we show that, for any $M>0$, any finite field…

Let $G$ be an additive abelian group. Let $A=\{a_{0}, a_{1},\ldots, a_{k-1}\}$ be a nonempty finite subset of $G$. For a positive integer $h$ satisfying $1\leq h\leq k$, we let \[h\hat{}_{\underline{+}}A:=\{\Sigma_{i=0}^{k-1}\lambda_{i}…
