We study spectral measures generated by infinite convolution products of discrete measures generated by Hadamard triples, and we present sufficient conditions for the measures to be spectral, generalizing a criterion by Strichartz. We then…
We use Fourier methods to prove that if $n > 1$ translates of sublattices of $Z^d$ tile $Z^d$, and all the sublattices are Cartesian products of arithmetic progressions, then two of the tiles must be translates of each other. This is a…
Interval translation maps (ITMs) are a non-invertible generalization of interval exchange transformations (IETs). The dynamics of finite type ITMs is similar to IETs, while infinite type ITMs are known to exhibit new interesting effects. In…
We investigate the discrete Fuglede's conjecture and Pompeiu problem on finite abelian groups and develop a strong connection between the two problems. We give a geometric condition under which a multiset of a finite abelian group has the…
If a tuple of matrices has a common invariant subspace, its projective joint spectrum has an algebraic component. In general, the converse is not true, and there might be algebraic components in the projective joint spectrum without…
We review and extend the theory of Thom spectra and the associated obstruction theory for orientations. We recall (from May, Quinn, and Ray) that a commutative ring spectrum A has a spectrum of units gl(A). To a map of spectra f: b ->…
We establish the exact overlaps conjecture for iterated functions systems on the real line with algebraic contractions and arbitrary translations.
A bounded measurable set $\Omega$, of Lebesgue measure 1, in the real line is called spectral if there is a set $\Lambda$ of real numbers ("frequencies") such that the exponential functions $e_\lambda(x) = \exp(2\pi i \lambda x)$,…
The paper establishes an equivalence between pure point diffraction and certain types of model sets, called inter model sets, in the context of substitution point sets and substitution tilings. The key ingredients are a new type of…
In this second paper, we study the case of substitution tilings of R^d. The substitution on tiles induces substitutions on the faces of the tiles of all dimensions j=0, ..., d-1. We reconstruct the tiling's equivalence relation in a purely…
Recall that the Mouse Set Conjecture says that under AD++V=L(P(R)), a real is ordinal definable if and only if it belongs to an iterable mouse. The Mouse Set Conjecture for sets of reals says that under the same theory, a set of reals is…
Let F be a finite nonempty family of finite nonempty sets. We prove the following: (i) F satisfies the condition of the title if and only if for every pair of distinct subfamilies {A_1,...,A_r}, {B_1,...,B_s} of F, the union of the A_i is…
We give a short combinatorial proof of the classical pointwise ergodic theorem for probability measure preserving $\mathbb{Z}$-actions. Our approach reduces the theorem to a tiling problem: tightly tile each orbit by intervals with desired…
Let R be a regular local ring. Let G be a reductive R-group scheme. A conjecture of Grothendieck and Serre predicts that a principal G-bundle over R is trivial if it is trivial over the quotient field of R. The conjecture is known when R…
A universal tiler is a convex polyhedron whose every cross-section tiles the plane. In this paper, we introduce a certain slight-rotating operation for cross-sections of pentahedra. Based on a selected initial cross-section and by applying…
Our earlier article proved that if $n > 1$ translates of sublattices of $Z^d$ tile $Z^d$, and all the sublattices are Cartesian products of arithmetic progressions, then two of the tiles must be translates of each other. We re-prove this…
We take the first step toward a structure theory that includes both operations of a ring $\mathcal{R}$. More precisely, we prove a series of inverse results for the structure of sets $A\subseteq \mathbf{F}_p$ such that, under certain…
This paper is a continuation of my previous work on absolutely continuous and singular spectral shift functions, where it was in particular proved that the singular part of the spectral shift function is an a.e. integer-valued function. It…
We extend the classical Fuglede commutativity theorem to the full scale of symmetrically normed operator ideals. Our main result provides a complete characterization: a symmetric ideal or symmetric operator space of $\tau$-measurable…
A family of sets F is said to be union-closed if A \cup B is in F for every A and B in F. Frankl's conjecture states that given any finite union-closed family of sets, not all empty, there exists an element contained in at least half of the…
