Let $Q$ be a quiver with dimension vector $\alpha$ prehomogeneous under the action of the product of general linear groups $\operatorname{GL}(\alpha)$ on the representation variety $\operatorname{Rep}(Q,\alpha)$. We study geometric…

In this paper we prove three theorems about the theory of Borel sets in models of ZF without any form of the axiom of choice. We prove that if B is a G-delta-sigma set, then either B is countable or B contains a perfect subset. Second, we…

We recall some classical results relating normality and some natural weakenings of normality in $\Psi$-spaces over almost disjoint families of branches in the Cantor tree to special sets of reals like $Q$-sets, $\lambda$-sets and…

Let $\Gamma\subset \bar{\Q}^{\times}$ be a finitely generated multiplicative group of algebraic numbers, let $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_m$ be non-zero algebraic numbers, and let $\varepsilon >0$ be fixed. In this paper, we prove that there…

Let $K$ be a number field, $\mathfrak{q}$ be an integral ideal, and $\mathrm{Cl}(\mathfrak{q})$ be the associated ray class group. Suppose $\mathrm{Cl}(\mathfrak{q})$ possesses a real exceptional character $\psi$, possibly principal, with a…

In this paper we consider a notion of universal sets for ideals. We show that there exist universal sets of minimal Borel complexity for classic ideals like null subsets of $2^\omega$ and meager subsets of any Polish space, and demonstrate…

An $S_k$-set in a group $\Gamma$ is a set $A\subseteq\Gamma$ such that $\alpha_1\cdots\alpha_k=\beta_1\cdots\beta_k$ with $\alpha_i,\beta_i\in A$ implies $(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_k)=(\beta_1,\ldots,\beta_k)$. An $S_k'$-set is a set such…

We show how different random thin sets of integers may have different behaviour. First, using a recent deviation inequality of Boucheron, Lugosi and Massart, we give a simpler proof of one of our results in {\sl Some new thin sets of…

In this paper we discuss the existence of certain classes of cuspidal automorphic representations having non-zero Fourier coefficients for general semisimple algebraic group $G$ defined over a number field $k$ such that its Archimedean…

Let $\Gamma\subset \bar{\mathbb Q}^{\times}$ be a finitely generated multiplicative group of algebraic numbers. Let $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_r\in\bar{\mathbb Q}^\times$ be algebraic numbers which are $\mathbb{Q}$-linearly independent and let…

Gerbner, Patk\'{o}s, Tuza, and Vizer recently initiated the study of $F$-saturated regular graphs. One of the essential problems in this line of research is determining when such a graph exists. Using generalized sum-free sets we prove that…

A Q-set is an uncountable set of reals all of whose subsets are relative $G_\delta$ sets. We prove that, for an arbitrary uncountable cardinal kappa, there is consistently a Q-set of size $\kappa$ whose square is not Q. This answers a…

For a complex number $x$, $\Vert x\Vert:=\min\{|x-m|:m\in\mathbb{Z}\}$. Let $k\geq 1$ be an integer, and $K$ be a number field. Let $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_k$ be algebraic numbers with $|\alpha_i|\geq 1$ and let $d_i$ denotes the degree of…

We provide simplified solutions of Menger's and Hurewicz's problems and conjectures, concerning generalizations of sigma-compactness. The reader who is new to this field will find a self-contained treatment in Sections 1, 2, and 5. Sections…

We define a new class of sets -- stable sets -- of primes in number fields. For example, Chebotarev sets $P_{M/K}(\sigma)$, with $M/K$ Galois and $\sigma \in \Gal(M/K)$, are very often stable. These sets have positive (but arbitrary small)…

For a set $A$ of $k$ elements from an additive abelian group $G$ and a positive integer $r \leq k$, we consider the set of elements of $G$ that can be written as a sum of $h$ elements of $A$ with at least $r$ distinct elements. We denote…

We provide new techniques to construct sets of reals without perfect subsets and with the Hurewicz or Menger covering properties. In particular, we show that if the Continuum Hypothesis holds, then there are such sets which can be mapped…

For every complex number $x$, let $\Vert x\Vert_{\mathbb{Z}}:=\min\{|x-m|:\ m\in\mathbb{Z}\}$. Let $K$ be a number field, let $k\in\mathbb{N}$, and let $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_k$ be non-zero algebraic numbers. In this paper, we completely…

In this article we show that given a Salem number $\lambda$, a totally real number field $k\subseteq\mathbb{Q}(\lambda+\lambda^{-1})$, and a positive integer $n\geq\mathrm{deg}_k(\lambda)-1$, there exist infinitely many commensurability…

We show that if $\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_k$ are algebraic numbers, then $$|A+\lambda_1\cdot A+\dots+\lambda_k\cdot A|\geq H(\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_k)|A|-o(|A|)$$ for all finite subsets $A$ of $\mathbb{C}$, where…
