The article presents several methods for the arithmetic of finite abelian groups. We introduce a tool - already used by Delsarte in [1] as I found out later - analogous to Dirichlet's convolution to obtain combinatorial results on these…
We study Lie algebras endowed with an abelian complex structure which admit a symplectic form compatible with the complex structure. We prove that each of those Lie algebras is completely determined by a pair (U,H) where U is a complex…
We show that if a finite, large enough subset A of an arbitrary abelian group satisfies the small doubling condition |A + A| < (log |A|)^{1 - epsilon} |A|, then A must contain a three-term arithmetic progression whose terms are not all…
In this article, we first describe all nonempty sets of integers S with the property that for all n and m in S, not necessarily distinct, the set {n-m,n+m} intersected with S consists of a single element. These are the sets with at most two…
We embark on a tour that takes us through four closely related topics: the dual concepts of independence and spanning in finite abelian groups and the analogous dual concepts of designs and distance sets on spheres. We review some of the…
Let $\mathbb G = (G, +)$ be a group (either abelian or not). Given $X, Y \subseteq G$, we denote by $\langle Y \rangle$ the subsemigroup of $\mathbb G$ generated by $Y$, and we set $$\gamma(Y) := \sup_{y_0 \in Y} \inf_{y_0 \ne y \in Y} {\rm…
In this paper we begin the systematic study of group equations with abelian predicates in the main classes of groups where solving equations is possible. We extend the line of work on word equations with length constraints, and more…
The additivity with respect to exact sequences is notoriously a fundamental property of the algebraic entropy of group endomorphisms. It was proved for abelian groups by deeply exploiting their structure. On the other hand, a solvable…
A theorem of Wiener on the circle group was strengthened and extended by Fournier in [2] to locally compact abelian groups and extended further to the Bessel-Kingman hypergroup with parameter {\alpha} = 1 / 2 by Bloom/Fournier/Leinert in…
For a cardinal k, generalizing a recent result of Comfort and van Mill, we prove that every k-pseudocompact abelian group of weight >k has some proper dense k-pseudocompact subgroup and admits some strictly finer k-pseudocompact group…
In this notebook, I present duality theory (or theories) of abelian groups with some categorical and categorical topological flavour. I consider writing this notebook as a longer-term project, and its current content and presentation is…
The paper deals with a problem of Additive Combinatorics. Let ${\mathbf G}$ be a finite abelian group of order $N$. We prove that the number of subset triples $A,B,C\subset {\mathbf G}$ such that for any $x\in A$, $y\in B$ and $z\in C$ one…
Andrews and Petsche proposed in 2020 a conjectural characterization of all pairs $(f,\alpha)$, where $f$ is a polynomial over a number field $K$ and $\alpha\in K$, such that the dynamical Galois group of the pair $(f,\alpha)$ is abelian. In…
The authors investigate the structure of quasi-o-minimal groups. Among other results, they show that quasi-o-minimal groups are abelian, that quasi-o-minimal densely ordered archimedian groups are divisible, and that every divisible…
The paper is devoted to homology groups of cubical sets with coefficients in contravariant systems of Abelian groups. The study is based on the proof of the assertion that the homology groups of the category of cubes with coefficients in…
The choice of an isomorphism, a duality, between a finite abelian group $A$ and its character group allows one to define dual codes of additive codes over $A$. Properties of dualities and dual codes are studied, continuing work of Delsarte…
Let $G$ be a finite abelian group and $S$ a sequence with elements of $G$. Let $|S|$ denote the length of $S$ and $\mathrm{supp}(S)$ the set of all the distinct terms in $S$. For an integer $k$ with $k\in [1, |S|]$, let $\Sigma_{k}(S)…
Let $G$ be a $\sigma$-finite abelian group, i.e. $G=\bigcup_{n\geq 1} G_n$ where $(G_n)_{n\geq 1}$ is a non decreasing sequence of finite subgroups. For any $A\subset G$, let $\underline{\mathrm{d}}(A):=\liminf_{n\to\infty}\frac{|A\cap…
We generalise the construction of $Q$-family of quandles and $G$-family of quandles which were introduced in the paper of A. Ishii, M. Iwakiri, Y. Jang, K. Oshiro, and find connection with other constructions of quandles. We define a…
The second author introduced notions of weak permutability and commutativity between groups and proved the finiteness of a group generated by two weakly permutable finite groups. Two groups H,K weakly commute provided there exists a…
