Heilbronn gave a sufficient condition for a number field with a totally ramified prime to fail to be norm-Euclidean. We say that Heilbronn's criterion applies to a polynomial $f$ if it applies to the number field $K=\mathbb{Q}[x]/(f)$…

We consider the proportion of genus one curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ of the form $z^2=f(x,y)$ where $f(x,y)\in\mathbb{Z}[x,y]$ is a binary quartic form (or more generally of the form $z^2+h(x,y)z=f(x,y)$ where also $h(x,y)\in\mathbb{Z}[x,y]$ is…

Consider the $(2+1)$D Discrete Gaussian (ZGFF, integer-valued Gaussian free field) model in an $L\times L$ box above a hard floor. Bricmont, El-Mellouki and Fr\"ohlich (1986) established that, at low enough temperature, this random surface…

We investigate the densities of the sets of abundant numbers and of covering numbers, integers $n$ for which there exists a distinct covering system where every modulus divides $n$. We establish that the set $\mathcal{C}$ of covering…

We study uniformly random maps with a single face, genus $g$, and size $n$, as $n,g\rightarrow \infty$ with $g = o(n)$, in continuation of several previous works on the geometric properties of "high genus maps". We calculate the number of…

Let $S\neq\mathbb N$ be a numerical semigroup with Frobenius number $f$, genus $g$ and embedding dimension $e$. In 1978 Wilf asked the question, whether $\frac{f+1-g}{f+1}\geq\frac1e$. As is well known, this holds in the cases $e=2$ and…

Let $(F_n)$ be the sequence of Fibonacci numbers and, for each positive integer $k$, let $\mathcal{P}_k$ be the set of primes $p$ such that $\gcd(p - 1, F_{p - 1}) = k$. We prove that the relative density $\text{r}(\mathcal{P}_k)$ of…

We study density currents associated with a collection of positive closed (1,1)-currents. We prove that the density current is unique and determined by the usual wedge product in some classical situations including the case where the…

For a finite graph $F$ and a value $p \in [0,1]$, let $I(F,p)$ denote the largest $y$ for which there is a sequence of graphs of edge density approaching $p$ so that the induced $F$-density of the sequence approaches $y$. We show that for…

Let A be a set of integers and let h \geq 2. For every integer n, let r_{A, h}(n) denote the number of representations of n in the form n=a_1+...+a_h, where a_1,...,a_h belong to the set A, and a_1\leq ... \leq a_h. The function r_{A,h}…

We show that there are sets of integers with asymptotic density arbitrarily close to 1 in which there is no solution to the equation ab=c, with a,b,c in the set. We also consider some natural generalizations, as well as a specific numerical…

We examine the state of statistical equilibrium attained by a uniformly forced condensable substance subjected to advection in a periodic domain. In particular, we examine the probability density function (\pdf{}) of the condensable…

We investigate fractional sums of arithmetic functions over products of two or three integers, with emphasis on fixed greatest common divisors and multiplicative weights. Let $f$ be an arithmetic function satisfying $f(n) \ll n^\alpha$ for…

Erd\H{o}s, F\"uredi, Rothschild and S\'os initiated a study of classes of graphs that forbid every induced subgraph on a given number $m$ of vertices and number $f$ of edges. Extending their notation to $r$-graphs, we write $(n,e) \to_r…

Let $a_1 = 1$ and, for $n > 1$, $a_n = a_{n-1} + a_{\left \lfloor \frac{n}{2} \right \rfloor}$. In this paper we will look at congruence properties and the growth rate of this sequence. First we will show that if $x \in \{1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7…

For a fixed rational number g different from -1,0,1 and integers a and d the set N_g(a,d) of primes p for which the order of g(mod p) is congruent to a(mod d) is considered. It is shown, assuming the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH),…

We investigate the density of compactly supported smooth functions in the Sobolev space $W^{k,p}$ on complete Riemannian manifolds. In the first part of the paper, we extend to the full range $p\in [1,2]$ the most general results known in…

Limits of densities belonging to an exponential family appear in many applications, {e.g.} Gibbs models in Statistical Physics, relaxed combinatorial optimization, coding theory, critical likelihood computations, Bayes priors with singular…

For any positive integer $r$, an $r$-identifying code on a graph $G$ is a set $C\subset V(G)$ such that for every vertex in $V(G)$, the intersection of the radius-$r$ closed neighborhood with $C$ is nonempty and pairwise distinct. For a…

We derive explicit upper bounds for the number of nondegenerate critical points of a $k$-component Gaussian mixture density in $\mathbb{R}^d$, and the number of modes when the modal set is finite, together with lower bounds. By normalizing…
