For a fixed unit vector $a=(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n)\in S^{n-1}$, we consider the $2^n$ sign vectors $\varepsilon=(\varepsilon^1,\varepsilon^2,\ldots,\varepsilon^n)\in \{+1,-1\}^n$ and the corresponding scalar products $\varepsilon\cdot…

We obtain upper bounds for the multiplicity of an isolated solution of a system of equations $f_1=...= f_M =0$ in $M$ variables, where the set of polynomials $(f_1,..., f_M)$ is a tuple of general position in a subvariety of a given…

We show that for any integer $s \geq 2$, there are only finitely many $s$-Cullen numbers that are repunits. More precisely, for fixed $s \ge 2$, there are only finitely many integers $n$, $b$, and $q$ with $n \geq 2$, $b \geq 2$ and $q \geq…

We prove the finiteness of Selmer groups attached to lifts of certain 2-dimensional mod p representations of the absolute Galois group of Q. The mod p representation can be either even or odd. The lifts considered are the ones that were…

According to a classical result of Szemer\'{e}di, every dense subset of $1,2,...,N$ contains an arbitrary long arithmetic progression, if $N$ is large enough. Its analogue in higher dimensions due to F\"urstenberg and Katznelson says that…

Recent results from real algebraic geometry and the theory of polynomial optimization are related in a new framework to the existence question of multivariate tight wavelet frames whose generators have at least one vanishing moment. Namely,…

Let $M = \mathbb{B}^2 / \Gamma$ be a smooth ball quotient of finite volume with first betti number $b_1(M)$ and let $\mathcal{E}(M) \ge 0$ be the number of cusps (i.e., topological ends) of $M$. We study the growth rates that are possible…

Given a finite subset S in F_p^d, let a(S) be the number of distinct r-tuples (x_1,...,x_r) in S such that x_1+...+x_r = 0. We consider the "moments" F(m,n) = sum_|S|=n a(S)^m. Specifically, we present an explicit formula for F(m,n) as a…

Let $F \in \mathbb Z[x, y]$ be an irreducible binary form of degree $d \geq 7$ and content one. Let $\alpha$ be a root of $F(x, 1)$ and assume that the field extension $\mathbb Q(\alpha)/\mathbb Q$ is Galois. We prove that, for every…

We obtain asymptotic formulas for the number of matrices in the congruence subgroup \[ \Gamma_0(Q) = \left\{ A\in\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb Z):~c \equiv 0 \pmod Q\right\}, \] which are of naive height at most $X$. Our result is uniform in a very…

We show that for any $n$ and $q$, the number of real conjugacy classes in $\mathrm{PGL}(n, \mathbb{F}_q)$ is equal to the number of real conjugacy classes of $\mathrm{GL}(n, \mathbb{F}_q)$ which are contained in $\mathrm{SL}(n,…

We show that for any integer $N$, there are only finitely many cuspidal algebraic automorphic representations of ${\rm GL}_n$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, with $n$ varying, whose conductor is $N$ and whose weights are in the interval…

A bi-Heyting algebra validates the G\"odel-Dummett axiom $(p \to q) \lor (q \to p)$ iff the poset of its prime filters is a disjoint union of co-trees. Bi-Heyting algebras of this kind are called bi-G\"odel algebras and form a variety…

We study the set of all m-tuples $(\lambda(1),...,\lambda(m))$ of possible types of finite abelian p-groups $M_{\lambda(1)}, ..., M_{\lambda(m)}$ for which there exists a long exact sequence $M_{\lambda(1)} \to ... \to M_{\lambda(m)}$. When…

Starting with Zhang's theorem on the infinitude of prime doubles, we give an inductive argument that there exists an infinite number of prime $k$-tuples for at least one admissible set $\mathcal{H}_k=\{h_1,\ldots,h_k\}$ for each $k$.

For the purposes of this paper supercongruences are congruences between terminating hypergeometric series and quotients of $p$-adic Gamma functions that are stronger than those one can expect to prove using commutative formal group laws. We…

Consider a compact connected Lie group $G$ and the corresponding Lie algebra $\cal L$. Let $\{X_1,...,X_m\}$ be a set of generators for the Lie algebra $\cal L$. We prove that $G$ is uniformly finitely generated by $\{X_1,...,X_m\}$. This…

In 1953 LeVeque proved the existence of $U_m$-numbers by showing that for some specially defined Liouville number $\lambda$, the $m$th root $\lambda^{1/m}$ is in $U_m$. In this article we study the following question: let $u$ be an…

Given a set $A=\{(i_1,j_1),\ldots,(i_m,j_m)\}$ we say that $(a_1,\ldots,a_v)$ exhibits pairwise coprimality if $\gcd(a_i,a_j) = 1$ for all $(i,j)\in A$. For a given positive $x$ we give an asymptotic formula for the number of…

We prove that all finitely generated fully residually free groups (limit groups) have a sequence of finite dimensional unitary representations that `strongly converge' to the regular representation of the group. The corresponding statement…
