Let $\sigma(n)$ to be the sum of the positive divisors of $n$. A number is non-deficient if $\sigma(n) \geq 2n$. We establish new lower bounds for the number of distinct prime factors of an odd non-deficient number in terms of its second…

For any $\sigma$ with $0\leq \sigma\leq 1$ and any $T>10$ sufficiently large, let $N_{\zeta}(\sigma,K,T)$ be the number of zeros $\rho=\beta+i\gamma$ of $\zeta_{K}(s)$ with $|\gamma|\leq T$ and $\beta\geq \sigma$ and the zero being counted…

Let $P$ be a subset of the primes of lower density strictly larger than $\frac12$. Then, every sufficiently large even integer is a sum of four primes from the set $P$. We establish similar results for $k$-summands, with $k\geq 4$, and for…

We study the set $\mathcal{S}$ of odd positive integers $n$ with the property ${2n}/{\sigma(n)} - 1 = 1/x$, for positive integer $x$, i.e., the set that relates to odd perfect and odd "spoof perfect" numbers. As a consequence, we find that…

Consider a compact metric space $X$, and let $\mathcal{F}=\{f_1,\,f_2,\ldots,\, f_k\}$ be a set of contracting and continuous self maps on $X$. Let $\Sigma$ be a sub-shift on $k$ symbols, and let $\Sigma_k$ be the full shift. Define…

A new proof of Oka's lemma is given for smoothly bounded, pseudoconvex domains $D\subset\mathbb{C}^n$. The method of proof is then also applied to other convexity-like hypotheses on the boundary of $D$.

The unseen-species problem assumes $n\geq1$ samples from a population of individuals belonging to different species, possibly infinite, and calls for estimating the number $K_{n,m}$ of hitherto unseen species that would be observed if…

We consider a generalized Cantor set $E(\omega)$ for an infinite sequence $\omega=(q_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ of positive numbers with $0<q_n<1$, and examine the quasiconformal equivalence to the standard middle one-third Cantor set…

Let $p_1 = 2, p_2 = 3,...$ be the sequence of all primes. Let $\epsilon$ be an arbitrarily small but fixed positive number, and fix a coprime pair of integers $q \ge 3$ and $a$. We will establish a lower bound for the number of primes…

Given a partition $\{E_0,\ldots,E_n\}$ of the set of primes and a vector $\mathbf{k} \in \mathbb{N}_0^{n+1}$, we compute an asymptotic formula for the quantity $|\{m \leq x: \omega_{E_j}(m) = k_j \ \forall \ 0 \leq j \leq n\}|$ uniformly in…

This paper explores the relationship between convexity and sum sets. In particular, we show that elementary number theoretical methods, principally the application of a squeezing principle, can be augmented with the Elekes-Szab\'{o} Theorem…

We prove that suitable asymptotic formulae in short intervals hold for the problems of representing an integer as a sum of a prime square and a square, or a prime square. Such results are obtained both assuming the Riemann Hypothesis and in…

A permutation sequence $(\sigma_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is said to be convergent if, for every fixed permutation $\tau$, the density of occurrences of $\tau$ in the elements of the sequence converges. We prove that such a convergent sequence…

For arbitrary positive integers $q_1 \ge q_2 \ge q_3 \ge \cdots$ we construct a family of monomial ideals such that for each positive integer $e$ and for each ideal $I$ in the family, the number of associated primes of $I^e$ is the $q_e$.…

The current paper is an addition to the previous paper by author, where the overgroup lattice of the elementary subsystem subgroup $E(\Delta,R)$ of the Chevalley group $G(\Phi,R)$ for a large enough root subsystem $\Delta$ was studied. Now…

Throughout this paper, all groups are finite. Let $\sigma =\{\sigma_{i} | i\in I \}$ be some partition of the set of all primes $\Bbb{P}$. If $n$ is an integer, the symbol $\sigma (n)$ denotes the set $\{\sigma_{i} |\sigma_{i}\cap \pi…

The classic central limit theorem and $\alpha$-stable distributions play a key role in probability theory, and also in Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics. They both concern the paradigmatic case of probabilistic independence of the…

Define a(k,q) to be the smallest positive multiple of k such that the sum of its digits in base q is equal to k. The asymptotic behavior, lower and upper bound estimates of a(k,q) are investigated. A characterization of the minimality…

The covering number, $\sigma(G)$, of a finite, noncyclic group $G$ is the least positive integer $n$ such that $G$ is the union of $n$ proper subgroups. Here we investigate the covering numbers of the projective special unitary groups…

We provide a strengthened version of the famous Jakobson's theorem. Consider an interval map $f$ satisfying a summability condition. For a generic one-parameter family $f_t$ of maps with $f_0=f$, we prove that $t=0$ is a Lebesgue density…
