A sequence $\textbf{p}=(p_{n})$ of real numbers is called Abel convergent to $\ell$ if the series $\Sigma_{k=0}^{\infty}p_{k}x^{k}$ is convergent for $0\leq x<1$ and \[\lim_{x \to 1^{-}}(1-x) \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}p_{k}x^{k}=\ell.\] We…

Let $G$ be an additive finite abelian group. A sequence over $G$ is called a minimal zero-sum sequence if the sum of its terms is zero and no proper subsequence has this property. Davenport's constant of $G$ is the maximum of the lengths of…

Let $p$ be a prime number. We say that a positive integer $n$ is a Sylow $p$-number if there exists a finite group having exactly $n$ Sylow $p$-subgroups. When $p=2$, every odd integer is a Sylow $2$-number. In contrast, when $p$ is odd,…

Given $p \in (0,1)$, we let $Q_p= Q_p^d$ be the random subgraph of the $d$-dimensional hypercube $Q^d$ where edges are present independently with probability $p$. It is well known that, as $d \rightarrow \infty$, if $p>\frac12$ then with…

The Quantum Symmetric Simple Exclusion Process (Q-SSEP) is a model for quantum stochastic dynamics of fermions hopping along the edges of a graph with Brownian noisy amplitudes and driven out-of-equilibrium by injection-extraction processes…

A sequence of non-negative integers is called a B_k sequence if all the sums of arbitrary k elements are different. In this paper, we will present a new estimation for the upper bound of B_k sequences.

Consider an ordinary generating function $\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}c_kx^k$, of an integer sequence of some combinatorial relevance, and assume that it admits a closed form $C(x)$. Various instances are known where the corresponding truncated sum…

Let G be a finite additive abelian group with exponent exp(G)=n>1 and let A be a nonempty subset of {1,...,n-1}. In this paper, we investigate the smallest positive integer $m$, denoted by s_A(G), such that any sequence {c_i}_{i=1}^m with…

We establish an uncertainty principle for functions $f: \mathbb{Z}/p \rightarrow \mathbb{F}_q$ with constant support (where $p \mid q-1$). In particular, we show that for any constant $S > 0$, functions $f: \mathbb{Z}/p \rightarrow…

Let $r$, $m$ and $k\geq 2$ be positive integers such that $r\mid k$ and let $v \in \left[ 0,\lfloor \frac{k-1}{2r} \rfloor \right]$ be any integer. For any integer $\ell \in [1, k]$ and $\epsilon \in \{0,1\}$, we let…

We study the problem of computing an ensemble of multiple sums where the summands in each sum are indexed by subsets of size $p$ of an $n$-element ground set. More precisely, the task is to compute, for each subset of size $q$ of the ground…

We show that for any relatively prime integers $1\leq p<q$ and for any finite $A \subset \mathbb{Z}$ one has $$|p \cdot A + q \cdot A | \geq (p + q) |A| - (pq)^{(p+q-3)(p+q) + 1}.$$

Let $k$ and $n$ be fixed positive integers. For each prime power $q\geqslant k\geqslant 3$, we show that any subset $A\subseteq \mathbb{Z}_q^n$ free of $k$-term arithmetic progressions has size $|A|\leqslant c_k(q)^n$ with a constant…

Let E be a non-CM elliptic curve defined over Q. For each prime p of good reduction, E reduces to a curve E_p over the finite field F_p. For a given squarefree polynomial f(x,y), we examine the sequences f_p(E) := f(a_p(E), p), whose values…

For $p\in\lbrack2,\infty]$ a mixed Littlewood-type inequality asserts that there is a constant $C_{(m),p}\geq1$ such that \[ \left( \sum_{i_{1}=1}^{\infty}\left( \sum_{i_{2},...,i_{m}=1}^{\infty }|T(e_{i_{1}},...,e_{i_{m}})|^{2}\right)…
