Let $n$ be a positive integer and $G(n)$ denote the number of non-isomorphic finite groups of order $n$. It is well-known that $G(n) = 1$ if and only if $(n,\phi(n)) = 1$, where $\phi(n)$ and $(a, b)$ denote the Euler's totient function and…

A finite abelian group $G$ of cardinality $n$ is said to be of type III if every prime divisor of $n$ is congruent to 1 modulo 3. We obtain a classification theorem for sum-free subsets of largest possible cardinality in a finite abelian…

Defining a Beukers [1] like integral for $\zeta(5)$ as \begin{equation*} I_n:=\int_{(0,1)^5}\frac{(1-x_3)^n(1-x_4)^n P_n(x_1)P_n(x_2)}{1-(1-x_1x_2x_3x_4)x_5} \ dx_1dx_2dx_3dx_4dx_5 \end{equation*} we prove that for each $n\in\mathbb{N}$…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a finite von Neumann algebra and $u_1,\dots,u_N$ be unitaries in $\mathcal{M}$. We show that $u_1,\dots,u_N$ freely generate $L(\mathbb{F}_N)$ if and only if $$\left\|\sum_{i=1}^N u_i \otimes (u_i^{\mathrm{op}})^* +…

Suppose that $f(z)$ is a transcendental entire function and that the Fatou set $F(f)\neq\emptyset$. Set $$B_1(f):=\sup_{U}\frac{\sup_{z\in U}\log(|z|+3)}{\inf_{w\in U}\log(|w|+3)}$$ and $$B_2(f):=\sup_{U}\frac{\sup_{z\in…

We characterize the structure of maximum-size sum-free subsets of a random subset of an Abelian group $G$. In particular, we determine the threshold $p_c \approx \sqrt{\log n / n}$ above which, with high probability as $|G| \to \infty$,…

Quadratic irrationals posses a periodic continued fraction expansion. Much less is known about cubic irrationals. We do not even know if the partial quotients are bounded, even though extensive computations suggest they might follow…

Let \(\Gamma=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{n})\) be a pure cubic field with normal closure \(k=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{n},\zeta)\), where \(n>1\) denotes a cube free integer, and \(\zeta\) is a primitive cube root of unity. Suppose \(k\) possesses an…

For $f$ a Rademacher or Steinhaus random multiplicative function, we prove that $$ \max_{\theta \in [0,1]} \frac{1}{\sqrt{N}} \Bigl| \sum_{n \leq N} f(n) \mathrm{e} (n \theta) \Bigr| \gg \sqrt{\log N} ,$$ asymptotically almost surely as $N…

Let $(X,\left\Vert \cdot \right\Vert )$ be a real normed space of dimension $N\in \mathbb{N}$ with a basis $(e_{i})_{1}^{N}$ such that the norm is invariant under coordinate permutations. Assume for simplicity that the basis constant is at…

We generalize the Cannonball Problem by introducing integer-valued and non-increasing arithmetic functions $w$. We associate these functions $w$ with certain polygons, which we call cannonball polygons. Through this correspondence, we show…

A Kakeya set $S \subset (\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})^n$ is a set containing a line in each direction. We show that, when $N$ is any square-free integer, the size of the smallest Kakeya set in $(\mathbb{Z}/N\mathbb{Z})^n$ is at least…

For $p$ being a large prime number, and $A \subset \mathbb{F}_p$ we prove the following: $(i)$ If $A(A+A)$ does not cover all nonzero residues in $\mathbb{F}_p$, then $|A| < p/8 + o(p)$. $(ii)$ If $A$ is both sum-free and satisfies $A =…

We consider a Coulomb system of one electron and five or six infinitely massive centers of charge $Z$: $(5Z,e)$ and $(6Z,e)$. Critical charges and the possible optimal geometrical configurations are found. It is shown that the domain of…

We consider the four structures $(\mathbb{Z}; \mathrm{Sqf}^\mathbb{Z})$, $(\mathbb{Z}; <, \mathrm{Sqf}^\mathbb{Z})$, $(\mathbb{Q}; \mathrm{Sqf}^\mathbb{Q})$, and $(\mathbb{Q}; <, \mathrm{Sqf}^\mathbb{Q})$ where $\mathbb{Z}$ is the additive…

New sets (typically found by computer search) with Sidon constant equal to the square root of their cardinalities are given. For each integer $N$ there are only a finite number of groups of prime order containing $N$-element extreme sets.…

We prove the STP=BQP conjecture of Freedman, Hastings and Shokrian-Zini [1], namely that the two-qubit singlet/triplet measurement is quantum computationally universal given only an initial ensemble of maximally mixed single qubits. This…

Let $n$ be a squarefree positive odd integer. We will show that there exist infinitely many imaginary quadratic number fields with discriminant divisible by $n$ and-at the same time-having an element of order $n$ in the class group. We then…

In this paper, we calculate the unit groups and the $2$-class numbers of the fields $ \mathbb{K}= \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{p_1}, \sqrt{p_2})$ and $ \mathbb{L}= \mathbb{Q}( \sqrt{-1},\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{p_1}, \sqrt{p_2})$, where $p_1$ and…

Suppose that $ m\equiv 1\mod 4 $ is a prime and that $ n\equiv 3\mod 4 $ is a primitive root modulo $ m $. In this paper we obtain a relation between the class number of the imaginary quadratic field $ \Q(\sqrt{-nm}) $ and the digits of the…
