We introduce and discuss a definition of approximation of a topological algebraic system $A$ by finite algebraic systems of some class $\K$. For the case of a discrete algebraic system this definition is equivalent to the well-known…

We study the ``approximate squaring'' map f(x) := x ceiling(x) and its behavior when iterated. We conjecture that if f is repeatedly applied to a rational number r = l/d > 1 then eventually an integer will be reached. We prove this when…

On arithmetic surfaces over local rings of integers we examine whether any geometric point has a basis of \'etale neighborhoods whose $\mathfrak{c}$-completed \'etale homotopy types are of type $K(\pi,1)$ for a given full…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Given a polynomial f(x,y) in K[x,y] with one place at infinity, we prove that either f is equivalent to a coordinate, or the family (f+c) has at most two rational elements. When…

We call an $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$ regainingly approximable if there exists a computable nondecreasing sequence $(a_n)_n$ of rational numbers converging to $\alpha$ with $\alpha - a_n < 2^{-n}$ for infinitely many $n \in \mathbb{N}$. We…

Let $X$ be a topological space and $f:X\to X$ a bijection. Let ${\mathcal C}(X,f)$ be a set of integers such that an integer $n$ is an element of ${\mathcal C}(X,f)$ if and only if the bijection $f^n:X\to X$ is continuous. A subset $S$ of…

An $F$-algebra $A$ with unit $1$ is said to be a locally matrix algebra if an arbitrary finite collection of elements $a_1,$ $\ldots,$ $a_s $ from $ A$ lies in a subalgebra $B$ with $1$ of the algebra $A$, that is isomorphic to a matrix…

Let K be a non-archimedean field, and let f in K(z) be a rational function of degree d>1. If f has potentially good reduction, we give an upper bound, depending only on d, for the minimal degree of an extension L/K such that f is conjugate…

What sets A \subset Z^n can be written in the form (K-K) \cap Z^n, where K is a compact subset of R^n such that K+Z^n=R^n? Such sets A are called achievable, and it is known that if A is achievable, then < A >=Z^n. This condition completely…

We consider the fragment F of first order arithmetic in which quantification is restricted to ''for all but finitely many.'' We show that the integers form an F-elementary substructure of the real numbers. Consequently, the F-theory of…

Let $f$ be a polynomial with integer coefficients whose degree is at least 2. We consider the problem of covering the orbit $\operatorname{Orb}_f(t)=\{t,f(t),f(f(t)),\cdots\}$, where $t$ is an integer, using arithmetic progressions each of…

It is proved that localizations of injective $R$-modules of finite Goldie dimension are injective if $R$ is an arithmetical ring satisfying the following condition: for every maximal ideal $P$, $R_P$ is either coherent or not semicoherent.…

Let $A(K)$ be the algebra of continuous functions on a compact set $K\subset\mathbb C$ which are analytic on the interior of $K$, and $R(K)$ the closure (with the uniform convergence on $K$) of the functions that are analytic on a…

A group of matrices $G$ with entries in a number field $K$ is defined to be numerical if $G$ has a finite index subgroup of matrices whose entries are algebraic integers. It is shown that an irreducible or completely reducible subgroup of…

Let X be a complex nonsingular affine algebraic variety, K a holomorphically convex subset of X, and Y a homogeneous variety for some complex linear algebraic group. We prove that a holomorphic map f:K-->Y can be uniformly approximated on K…

A compact set $E\subset {\Bbb R}^d$ is said to be arithmetically thick if there exists a positive integer $n$ so that the $n$-fold arithmetic sum of $E$ has non-empty interior. We prove the arithmetic thickness of $E$, if $E$ is uniformly…

Let $k$ be a number field and $S$ a finite set of places of $k$ containing the archimedean ones. We count the number of algebraic points of bounded height whose coordinates lie in the ring of $S$-integers of $k$. Moreover, we give an…

We show that the family of nest algebras with $r$ non-zero nest projections is stable, in the sense that an approximate containment of one such algebra within another is close to an exact containment. We use this result to give a local…

On the space of rhythms of arbitrary length with a fixed number of onsets, a self map $F$ is constructed. It is shown that for any rhythm $\mathbf{r}$ of the space there exists a nonnegative integer $k$ such that $F^k(\mathbf{r})$ falls…
