Let $\lfloor t\rfloor$ denote the integer part of $t\in\mathbb{R}$ and $\|x\|$ the distance from $x$ to the nearest integer. Suppose that $1/2<\gamma_2<\gamma_1<1$ are two fixed constants. In this paper, it is proved that, whenever $\alpha$…

A vanishing sum of roots of unity is called minimal if no proper, nonempty sub-sum of it vanishes. This paper classifies all minimal vanishing sums of roots of unity of weight at most 16 by hand, thereby uncovering new phenomena beyond the…

In this paper we prove a new asymptotic lower bound for the minimal number of simplices in simplicial dissections of $n$-dimensional cubes. In particular we show that the number of simplices in dissections of $n$-cubes without additional…

For a (non-unit) Pisot number $\beta$, several collections of tiles are associated with $\beta$-numeration. This includes an aperiodic and a periodic one made of Rauzy fractals, a periodic one induced by the natural extension of the…

The simple concept of a SIC poses a very deep problem in algebraic number theory, as soon as the dimension of Hilbert space exceeds three. A detailed description of the simplest possible example is given.

We give an upper bound in O(d ^((n+1)/2)) for the number of critical points of a normal random polynomial with degree d and at most n variables. Using the large deviation principle for the spectral value of large random matrices we obtain…

The Piatetski-Shapiro sequences are of the form $\mathcal{N}_{c} := (\lfloor n^{c} \rfloor)_{n=1}^\infty$, where $\lfloor \cdot \rfloor$ is the integer part. It is expected that there are infinitely many primes in a Piatetski-Shapiro…

Let $1<\beta \leq 2$. It is well-known that the set of points in $% [0,1/(\beta -1)]$ having unique $\beta $-expansion, in other words, those points whose orbits under greedy $\beta $-transformation escape a hole depending on $\beta $, is…

Let $\beta\in(1,2)$ and let $H_\beta$ denote Garsia's entropy for the Bernoulli convolution $\mu_\beta$ associated with $\beta$. In the present paper we show that $H_\beta>0.82$ for all $\beta \in (1, 2)$ and improve this bound for certain…

Define a(k,q) to be the smallest positive multiple of k such that the sum of its digits in base q is equal to k. The asymptotic behavior, lower and upper bound estimates of a(k,q) are investigated. A characterization of the minimality…

A set $S$ of natural numbers is multiplicative Sidon if the products of all pairs in $S$ are distinct. Erd\H{o}s in 1938 studied the maximum size of a multiplicative Sidon subset of $\{1,\ldots, n\}$, which was later determined up to the…

Current methods for the classification of number fields with small regulator depend mainly on an upper bound for the discriminant, which can be improved by looking for the best possible upper bound of a specific polynomial function over an…

An effective search bound is established for the least non-trivial integer zero of an arbitrary integral cubic form in at least 17 variables.

Let $[\, \cdot\,]$ be the floor function and $\|x\|$ denotes the distance from $x$ to the nearest integer. In this paper we show that whenever $\alpha$ is irrational and $\beta$ is real then for any fixed $1<c<12/11$ there exist infinitely…

We give the first nonconstant lower bounds for the approximability of the Independent Set Problem on the Power Law Graphs. These bounds are of the form $n^{\epsilon}$ in the case when the power law exponent satisfies $\beta <1$. In the case…

A well-known result, due to Meyer, states that the set P of Pisot numbers, generating a real algebraic number field K, is uniformly discrete and relatively dense in the set of positive real number. In the present paper, we show that P is…

The crossing number of a graph is the minimum number of crossings in a drawing of the graph in the plane. Our main result is that every graph $G$ that does not contain a fixed graph as a minor has crossing number $O(\Delta n)$, where $G$…

For $\beta > 1$ a real algebraic integer ({\it the base}), the finite alphabets $\mathcal{A} \subset \mathbb{Z}$ which realize the identity $\mathbb{Q}(\beta) = {\rm Per}_{\mathcal{A}}(\beta)$, where ${\rm Per}_{\mathcal{A}}(\beta)$ is the…

The main purpose of this paper is to study the arithmetical properties of values \(\sum_{m=0}^{\infty} \beta^{-w(m)}\), where \(\beta\) is a fixed Pisot or Salem number and \(w(m)\) (\(m=0,1,\ldots\)) are distinct sequences of nonnegative…

We study the number of degree $n$ number fields with discriminant bounded by $X$. In this article, we improve an upper bound due to Schmidt on the number of such fields that was previously the best known upper bound for $6 \leq n \leq 94$.
