Let R be a commutative ring with unity, M a module over R and let S be a G-set for a finite group G. We define a set MS to be the set of elements expressed as the formal finite sum of the form similar to the elements of group ring RG. The…
The additive monoid $R_+(x)$ is defined as the set of all nonnegative integer linear combinations of binomial coefficients $\binom{x}{n}$ for $n \in \mathbb Z_+$. This paper is concerned with the inquiry into the structure of $R_+(\alpha)$…
This paper considers some different measures for how additively structured a convex set can be. The main result gives a construction of a convex set $A$ containing $\Omega(|A|^{3/2})$ three-term arithmetic progressions.
In order to unify the methods which have been applied to various topics such as BRST theory of constraints, Poisson brackets of local functionals, and certain developments in deformation theory, we formulate a new concept which we call the…
In this paper, we prove several results on the structure of maximal sets $S \subseteq [N]$ such that $S$ mod $p$ is contained in a short arithmetic progression, or the union of short progressions, where $p$ ranges over a subset of primes in…
Denoting by Sigma(S) the set of subset sums of a subset S of a finite abelian group G, we prove that |Sigma(S)| >= |S|(|S|+2)/4-1 whenever S is symmetric, |G| is odd and Sigma(S) is aperiodic. Up to an additive constant of 2 this result is…
The first step in any genome assembly algorithm entails the conversion from the domain of strings and overlaps to the language of graphs and paths, typically using one of the two conventional methods: de Bruijn graphs or overlap graphs.…
A doubling chart on an $n$-dimensional complex manifold $Y$ is a univalent analytic mapping $\psi:B_1\to Y$ of the unit ball in $\mathbb{C}^n$, which is extendible to the (say) four times larger concentric ball of $B_1$. A doubling covering…
We define a chain complex for generalized splines on graphs, analogous to that introduced by Billera and refined by Schenck-Stillman for splines on polyhedral complexes. The hyperhomology of this chain complex yields bounds on the…
We initiate the algorithmic study of the following "structured augmentation" question: is it possible to increase the connectivity of a given graph G by superposing it with another given graph H? More precisely, graph F is the superposition…
We consider additive spanners of unweighted undirected graphs. Let $G$ be a graph and $H$ a subgraph of $G$. The most na\"ive way to construct an additive $k$-spanner of $G$ is the following: As long as $H$ is not an additive $k$-spanner…
For a sequence $S$ of terms from an abelian group $G$ of length $|S|$, let $\Sigma_n(S)$ denote the set of all elements that can be represented as the sum of terms in some $n$-term subsequence of $S$. When the subsum set is very small,…
A subset $C$ of an abelian group $G$ is a minimal additive complement to $W \subseteq G$ if $C + W = G$ and if $C' + W \neq G$ for any proper subset $C' \subset C$. In this paper, we study which sets of integers arise as minimal additive…
A $\textit{ladder}$ is a set $S \subseteq \mathbb Z^+$ such that any finite coloring of $\mathbb Z$ contains arbitrarily long monochromatic progressions with common difference in $S$. Van der Waerden's theorem famously asserts that $\mathbb…
In the preprint arXiv:2511.07900 we proved that there exists a localizing ring $A_M$ for $A$ an associative ring with unit, and $M=\oplus_{i=1}^rM_i$ a direct sum of $r\geq 1$ simple right $A$-modules. For a homomorphism of associative…
We study supersymmetry enhancement from ${\cal N}=3$ to ${\cal N}=4$ proposed by Aharony and Tachikawa by using string junctions in S-folds. The central charges carried by junctions play a central role in our analysis. We consider planer…
We extend the concepts of sum-free sets and Sidon-sets of combinatorial number theory with the aim to provide explicit constructions for spherical designs. We call a subset $S$ of the (additive) abelian group $G$ {\it $t$-free} if for all…
The notion of overlap algebra introduced by G. Sambin provides a constructive version of complete Boolean algebra. Here we first show some properties concerning overlap algebras: we prove that the notion of overlap morphism corresponds…
Given a sequence $S=(s_1,\dots,s_m) \in [0, 1]^m$, a block $B$ of $S$ is a subsequence $B=(s_i,s_{i+1},\dots,s_j)$. The size $b$ of a block $B$ is the sum of its elements. It is proved in [1] that for each positive integer $n$, there is a…
Band structure for a crystal generally consists of connected components in energy-momentum space, known as band complexes. Here, we explore a fundamental aspect regarding the maximal number of bands that can be accommodated in a single band…
