For any constant $C_0>0$, we construct a set $A \subset {\mathbb N}$ such that one has $$ \sum_{n \in A: n \leq x} \frac{1}{n} = \exp\left(\left(\frac{C_0}{2}+o(1)\right) (\log\log x)^{1/2} \log\log\log x \right)$$ and $$ \sum_{n,m \in A:…

Let $a,b,c$ be distinct positive integers such that $a<b<c$ and $\gcd(a,b,c)=1$. For any non-negative integer $n$, the denumerant function $d(n;a,b,c)$ denotes the number of solutions of the equation $ax_1+bx_2+cx_3=n$ in non-negative…

Let $F$ and $G$ be integer polynomials where $F$ has degree at least $2$. Define the sequence $(a_n)$ by $a_n=F(a_{n-1})$ for all $n\ge 1$ and $a_0=0.$ Let $\mathscr{B}_{F,\,G,\,k}$ be the set of all positive integers $n$ such that $k\mid…

Let (G, *) be a semigroup, D subset of G, and n >= 2 be an integer. We say that (D, *) is an n-closed subset of G if a_1* ... *a_n in D for every a_1, ..., a_n in D. Hence every closed set is a 2-closed set. The concept of n-closed sets…

We exhibit the densest sequence on the unit circle R/Z, x_k= log(2k-1)/log(2) (mod 1).

We present a new way to encode weighted sums into unweighted pairwise constraints, obtaining the following results. - Define the k-SUM problem to be: given n integers in [-n^2k, n^2k] are there k which sum to zero? (It is well known that…

A book of size b in a graph is an edge that lies in b triangles. Consider a graph G with n vertices and \lfloor n^2/4\rfloor +1 edges. Rademacher proved that G contains at least \lfloor n/2\rfloor triangles, and Erdos conjectured and…

In this paper, we give a new class of rigid Coxeter groups. Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system. Suppose that (0) for each $s,t\in S$ such that $m(s,t)$ is even, $m(s,t)=2$, (1) for each $s\neq t\in S$ such that $m(s,t)$ is odd, $\{s,t\}$ is a…

The eponymous theorem of P.L. Wantzel presents a necessary and sufficient criterion for angle trisectability in terms of the third Chebyshev polynomial $T_3$, thus making it easy to prove that there exist non-trisectable angles. We…

Fix $k \geq 6$. We prove that any large enough finite group $G$ contains $k$ elements which span quadratically many triples of the form $(a,b,ab) \in S \times G$, given any dense set $S \subseteq G \times G$. The quadratic bound is…

Let $\Bbb Z$ and $\Bbb N$ be the set of integers and the set of positive integers, respectively. For $a,b,c,d,n\in\Bbb N$ let $N(a,b,c,d;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by $ax^2+by^2+cz^2+dw^2$, and let $t(a,b,c,d;n)$ be the…

In the paper we prove that any sumset or difference set has large E_3 energy. Also, we give a full description of families of sets having critical relations between some kind of energies such as E_k, T_k and Gowers norms. In particular, we…

A celebrated result of Mantel shows that every graph on $n$ vertices with $\lfloor n^2/4 \rfloor + 1$ edges must contain a triangle. A robust version of this result, due to Rademacher, says that there must in fact be at least $\lfloor n/2…

A 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold M, equipped with an additional tensor structure S, whose fourth power is minus identity, is considered. The structure S has a skew-circulant matrix with respect to some basis of the tangent space at a…

A triangle in a hypergraph is a collection of distinct vertices u,v,w and distinct edges e,f,g with u,v \in e, v,w \in f, w,u \in g, and \{u,v,w\} \cap e \cap f \cap g=\emptyset. The i-degree of a vertex in a hypergraph is the number of…

For any integer $d\in \mathbb{Z}$ we introduce a complex $\mathsf{ORGC}_{d}^{(g,m)}$ spanned by genus $g$ ribbon quivers with $m$ marked boundaries and prove that its cohomology computes (up to a degree shift) the compactly supported…

In this article we prove some theorems related to the triplets of triangles, homological two by two. These theorems will be used later to build triplets of triangles two by two tri-homological.

We show that among any $n$ points in the unit cube one can find a triangle of area at most $n^{-2/3-c}$ for some absolute constant $c >0$. This gives the first non-trivial upper bound for the three-dimensional version of Heilbronn's…

We study a higher-dimensional analogue of the {Random Travelling Salesman Problem}: let the complete $d$-dimensional simplicial complex $K_n^{d}$ on $n$ vertices be equipped with i.i.d.\ volumes on its facets, uniformly random in $[0,1]$.…

Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system and let $s \in S$. We call $s$ a right-angled generator of $(W,S)$ if $st = ts$ or $st$ has infinite order for each $t \in S$. We call $s$ an intrinsic reflection of $W$ if $s \in R^W$ for all Coxeter…
