A discrete set in the Euclidian space is almost periodic, if the measure with the unite masses at points of the set is almost periodic in the weak sense. We prove the following result: if A is a discrete almost periodic set and the set A-A…

It is proved that the ring $R$ with center $Z(R)$, such that the module $R_{Z(R)}$ is an essential extension of the module $Z(R)_{Z(R)}$, is not necessarily right quasi-invariant, i.e., maximal right ideals of the ring $R$ are not…

Motivated by the concept of clean ideals, we introduce the notion of weakly clean ideals. We define an ideal $I$ of a ring $R$ to be weakly clean ideal if for any $x\in I$, $x=u+e$ or $x=u-e$, where $u$ is a unit in $R$ and $e$ is an…

We classify the weak*-closed maximal left ideals of the measure algebra $M(G)$ for certain Hermitian locally compact groups $G$ in terms of the irreducible representations of $G$ and their asymptotic properties. In particular, we obtain a…

Fix $\alpha \in (0,1/3)$. We show that, from a topological point of view, almost all sets $A\subseteq \mathbb{N}$ have the property that, if $A^\prime=A$ for all but $o(n^{\alpha})$ elements, then $A^\prime$ is not a nontrivial sumset…

Let $SP$ be the set of upper strongly porous at $0$ subsets of $\mathbb R^{+}$ and let $\hat I(SP)$ be the intersection of maximal ideals $I \subseteq SP$. Some characteristic properties of sets $E\in\hat I(SP)$ are obtained. It is shown…

Let $S$ and $\mathcal{C}$ be affine semigroups in $\mathbb{N}^d$ such that $S\subseteq \mathcal{C}$. We provide a characterization for the set $\mathcal{C}\setminus S$ to be finite, together with a procedure and computational tools to check…

Given a family $F$ of subsets of a group $G$ we describe the structure of its thin-completion $\tau^*(F)$, which is the smallest thin-complete family that contains $I$. A family $F$ of subsets of $G$ is called thin-complete if each $F$-thin…

Effective versions of strong measure zero sets are developed for various levels of complexity and computability. It is shown that the sets can be equivalently defined using a generalization of supermartingales called odds supermartingales,…

Let I be an ideal of subsets of a Polish space X, containing all singletons and possessing a Borel basis. Assuming that I does not satisfy ccc, we consider the following conditions (B), (M) and (D). Condition (B) states that there is a…

We present a general procedure to construct examples of convex scalar variational problems which admit a minimizers with large singular sets. The dimension of the set of singularities is maximal and the minimizer has no higher integrability…

Assume $X$ is a variety over $\mathbb{C}$, $A \subseteq \mathbb{C}$ is a finitely generated $\mathbb{Z}$-algebra and $X_A$ a model of $X$ (i.e. $X_A \times_A \mathbb{C} \cong X$). Assuming the weak ordinarity conjecture we show that there…

Consider the sets of integers $A$ that avoid any arrangement of $g$ congruent $h$-subsets. Our findings refine and improve upon some results by Erd\H{o}s and Harzheim about these sets.

In the additive topological group $(\mathbb{R},+)$ of real numbers, we construct families of sets for which elements are not measurable in the Lebesgue sense. The constructed families have algebraic structures of being semigroups (i.e.,…

New partial results are obtained related to the following old problem of Erd\"os: for any infinite set $X$ of real numbers to show that there is always a measurable (or, equivalently, closed) subset of reals of positive Lebesgue measure…

We investigate the notion of strong measure zero sets in the context of the higher Cantor space $2^\kappa$ for $\kappa$ at least inaccessible. Using an iteration of perfect tree forcings, we give two proofs of the relative consistency of \[…

In this paper we introduce and study the concept of countable strongly annihilated ideal in commutative rings, in particular in rings of continuous functions. We show that a maximal ideal in $C(X)$ is countable strongly annihilated if and…

A nonempty set $A\subset\mathbb{N}$ is $\ell$-strong Schreier if $\min A\geqslant \ell|A|-\ell+1$. We define a set of positive integers to be sparse if either the set has at most two numbers or the differences between consecutive numbers in…

A subset $X$ of a groupoid is said to be deficient if $|X \cdot X|\leq |X|$. It is well-known that the probability that a random groupoid has a deficient $t$-element set with $t\geq 3$ is zero. However, as conjectured in [4], we show that…

A Menshov spectrum is a subset of the integers that is sufficient for representing every measurable function as an almost-everywhere converging trigonometric (non-Fourier) sum. In this language the celebrated "Menshov representation…
