Let $\lambda$ denote the Liouville function. We prove that $$\sum_{X \leq x < 2X} \sup_{\alpha \in \mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}} \bigg\lvert\!\sum_{x \leq n < x+H} \lambda(n) e(n\alpha)\bigg\rvert = o(HX)$$ as $X\to \infty$, in the regime $H =…
A family of sets is union-free if there are no three distinct sets in the family such that the union of two of the sets is equal to the third set. Kleitman proved that every union-free family has size at most $(1+o(1))\binom{n}{n/2}$.…
I present a new proof of Kirchberg's $\mathcal O_2$-stable classification theorem: two separable, nuclear, stable/unital, $\mathcal O_2$-stable $C^\ast$-algebras are isomorphic if and only if their ideal lattices are order isomorphic, or…
We find a strong separation between two natural families of simple rank one theories in Keisler's order: the theories $T_\mathfrak{m}$ reflecting graph sequences, which witness that Keisler's order has the maximum number of classes, and the…
A \textit{$k$-transversal} to family of sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is a $k$-dimensional affine subspace that intersects each set of the family. In 1957 Hadwiger provided a necessary and sufficient condition for a family of pairwise disjoint,…
In this paper we consider permutations of sequences of partitions, obtaining a result which parallels von Neumann's theorem on permutations of dense sequences and uniformly distributed sequences of points.
We prove two general decomposition theorems for fixed-point invariants: one for the Lefschetz number and one for the Reidemeister trace. These theorems imply the familiar additivity results for these invariants. Moreover, the proofs of…
Let $K\subset\mathbb{R}^d$ be a self-similar set generated by an iterated function system $\{\varphi_i\}_{i=1}^m$ satisfying the strong separation condition and let $f$ be a contracting similitude with $f(K)\subset K$. We show that $f(K)$…
This paper contains a complete proof of a fundamental theorem on the normalizers of unipotent subgroups in semisimple algebraic groups.
We show that the sequence $(\alpha n)_{n\in \mathcal{B}}$ is uniformly distributed modulo 1, for every irrational $\alpha$, provided $\mathcal{B}$ belongs to a certain family of integer sequences, which includes the prime, almost prime,…
Two families $\mathcal{F},\mathcal{G}$ of $k$-subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ are called {\it non-trivial cross-intersecting} if $F\cap G\neq \emptyset$ for all $F\in \mathcal{F}, G\in \mathcal{G}$ and $\cap \{F\colon F\in…
We prove spectral analogues of the classical strong multiplicity one theorem for newforms. Let $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ be uniform lattices in a semisimple group $G$. Suppose all but finitely many irreducible unitary representations (resp.…
Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of subsets of a ground set $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ with $|\mathcal{F}|=m$, and let $\mathcal{F}^{\updownarrow}$ denote the family of all subsets of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ that are subsets or supersets of sets in…
We prove a generalization of one of Lie's Theorems in the context of Lie-like algebras$^{2-nd}$.
Hadwiger's transversal theorem gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a family of convex sets in the plane to have a line transversal. A higher dimensional version was obtained by Goodman, Pollack and Wenger, and recently a colorful…
Let $G$ be a finite group with $2$-Sylow subgroup of order less than or equal to 16. For such a $G$, we prove a quantified version of Quillen's uniform $\mathcal{F}_p$-isomorphism theorem, which holds uniformly for all $G$-spaces. We do…
We introduce k-quantifier logics -- logics with access to k-tuples of elements and very general quantification patterns for transitions between k-tuples. The framework is very expressive and encompasses e.g. the k-variable fragments of…
For a prime p and natural number n with p greater than or equal to n, we establish the existence of a non-functorial one-to-one correspondence between isomorphism classes of groups of order p^n whose derived subgroup has exponent dividing…
Let G be any group and $a_1G_1,...,a_kG_k (k>1)$ be left cosets in G. In 1974 Herzog and Sch\"onheim conjectured that if $\Cal A=\{a_iG_i\}_{i=1}^k$ is a partition of G then the (finite) indices $n_1=[G:G_1],...,n_k=[G:G_k]$ cannot be…
Uniform preorders are a class of combinatory representations of Set-indexed preorders that generalize Pieter Hofstra's basic relational objects. An indexed preorder is representable by a uniform preorder if and only if it has as generic…
