We prove that if $d \ge 2$ is an integer, $G$ is a finite abelian group, $Z_0$ is a subset of $G$ not contained in any strict coset in $G$, and $E_1,\dots,E_d$ are dense subsets of $G^n$ such that the sumset $E_1+\dots+E_d$ avoids $Z_0^n$…

Recently, Mubayi and Wang showed that for $r\ge 4$ and $\ell \ge 3$, the number of $n$-vertex $r$-graphs that do not contain any loose cycle of length $\ell$ is at most $2^{O( n^{r-1} (\log n)^{(r-3)/(r-2)})}$. We improve this bound to…

We consider the periods of the linear congruential and the power generators modulo $n$ and, for fixed choices of initial parameters, give lower bounds that hold for ``most'' $n$ when $n$ ranges over three different sets: the set of primes,…

We study progression-free sets in the abelian groups $G=(\mathbb{Z}_m^n,+)$. Let $r_k(\mathbb{Z}_m^n)$ denote the maximal size of a set $S \subset \mathbb{Z}_m^n$ that does not contain a proper arithmetic progression of length $k$. We give…

We construct explicit local systems on the affine line in characteristic $p>2$, whose geometric monodromy groups are the finite symplectic groups $Sp_{2n}(q)$ for all $n \ge 2$, and others whose geometric monodromy groups are the special…

In this paper we study sum-free subsets of the set $\{1,...,n\}$, that is, subsets of the first $n$ positive integers which contain no solution to the equation $x + y = z$. Cameron and Erd\H{o}s conjectured in 1990 that the number of such…

We consider two ensembles of nxn matrices. The first is the set of all nxn matrices with entries zeroes and ones such that all column sums and all row sums equal r, uniformly weighted. The second is the set of nxn matrices with zero and one…

An arithmetical structure on the complete graph $K_n$ with $n$ vertices is given by a collection of $n$ positive integers with no common factor each of which divides their sum. We show that, for all positive integers $c$ less than a certain…

Primoz Moravec published a very important paper in 2007 where he proved that if $G$ is a finite group of exponent $n$ then the exponent of the Schur multiplier of $G$ can be bounded by a function $f(n)$ depending only on $n$. Moravec does…

Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a family of digraphs. A digraph $D$ is \emph{$\mathcal{D}$-saturated} if it contains no member of $\mathcal{D}$ as a subdigraph, but for any arc $e$ in the complement of $D$, the digraph $D + e$ contains some member of…

A set of integers is \emph{primitive} if it does not contain an element dividing another. Denote by $f(n)$ the number of maximum-size primitive subsets of $\{1,\ldots, 2n\}$. We prove that the limit $\alpha=\lim_{n\rightarrow…

For a positive integer $n\geq 3$, the sides and diagonals of a convex $n$-gon divide the interior of the convex $n$-gon into finitely (polynomial in $n$) many regions bounded by them. In this article, we associate to every region a unique…

Let $n>1$ be an odd integer. We prove that there are infinitely many imaginary quadratic fields of the form $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{x^2-2y^n})$ whose ideal class group has an element of order $n$. This family gives a counter example to a…

The structure of the multiplicative group $M_n = ({\mathbb Z}/n{\mathbb Z})^\times$ encodes a great deal of arithmetic information about the integer $n$ (examples include $\phi(n)$, the Carmichael function $\lambda(n)$, and the number…

In this article, we study the structure of the difference set $E - E$ for subsets $E \subseteq \mathbb{Z}^2$ of positive upper Banach density. Fish asked in [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 146 (2018), 3449-3453] whether, for every such set $E$,…

Given a positive integer $t$, let $P_{t,2}$ be the digraph consisting of $t$ directed paths of length 2 with the same initial and terminal vertices. In this paper, we study the maximum size of $P_{t+1,2}$-free digraphs of order $n$, which…

The aim of the article is to show that there are many finite extensions of arithmetic groups which are not residually finite. Suppose $G$ is a simple algebraic group over the rational numbers satisfying both strong approximation, and the…

We study the relative position of four subspaces in a Hilbert space. For any positive integer n, we give an example of exotic indecomposable system of four subspaces in a Hilbert space whose defect is (2n+1)/3. By an exotic system, we mean…

Let $\ell$ be a rational prime number. Assuming the Gross-Kuz'min conjecture along a $\Zl$-extension $K\_{\infty}$ of a number field $K$, we show that there exist integers $\mut$, $\lat$ and $\widetilde{\nu}$ such that the exponent…

Answering a question of P. Erdos from 1965, we show that for every eps>0 there is a set A of n integers with the following property: every subset A' of A with at least (1/3 + eps)n elements contains three distinct elements x,y,z with x + y…
