We consider combining the definition of a cardinal invariant and the notion of an infinite game. We focus on the splitting number $\mathfrak{s}$ since the corresponding cardinal invariants behave in an interesting way. We introduce three…

Let $R$ be a polynomial ring in $N$ variables over an arbitrary field $K$ and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$ generated by $n$ polynomials of degree at most 2. We show that there is a bound on the projective dimension of $R/I$ that depends only…

Let n,d be positive integers, with d even (say d=2e). Let X_(n,d) denote the locus of degree d hypersurfaces in P^n which consist of two e-fold hyperplanes. We bound the regularity of the ideal of this variety. Moreover, we show that this…

Given an odd integer polynomial f(x) of a degree k >=3, we construct a non-negative valued, normed trigonometric polynomial with the spectrum in the set of integer values of f(x) not greater than n, and a small free coefficient…

We introduce the $k$-stellated spheres and compare and contrast them with $k$-stacked spheres. It is shown that for $d \geq 2k$, any $k$-stellated sphere of dimension $d$ bounds a unique and canonically defined $k$-stacked ball. In…

Given a global field $K$ and a positive integer $n$, we present a diophantine criterion for a polynomial in one variable of degree $n$ over $K$ not to have any root in $K$. This strengthens the known result that the set of non-$n$-th-powers…

A new modulus of smoothness based on the Euler angles is introduced on the unit sphere and is shown to satisfy all the usual characteristic properties of moduli of smoothness, including direct and inverse theorem for the best approximation…

We study harmonic functions which admit a certain majorant in the unit ball in $\R^m $. We prove that when the majorant fulfills a doubling condition, the extremal growth or decay may occur only along small sets of radii, and we give…

We consider the problem of determining the maximum cardinality of a subset containing no arithmetic progressions of length $k$ in a given set of size $n$. It is proved that it is sufficient, in a certain sense, to consider the interval…

We show that for any $t>1$, the set of unconditional convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ contains a $t$-separated subset of cardinality at least $\exp \exp (C(t) n)$. This implies that there exists an unconditional convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$…

For all $d \geq 3$ we show that the cardinality of $ \mathbb{R} $ is at most $\aleph_n $ if and only if $ \mathbb{R}^d $ can be covered with $ ( n + 1 ) ( d - 1 ) + 1 $ sprays whose centers are in general position in a hyperplane. This…

The problem of bounding of the distance between the two bodies of volume $\varepsilon$ located inside the $n$-dimensional body $B$ of unit volume where $n \to \infty$ is considered. In some cases such distances are bounded by function…

We solve the following problem of Z. F\"uredi, J. C. Lagarias and F. Morgan [FLM]: Is there an upper bound polynomial in $n$ for the largest cardinality of a set S of unit vectors in an n-dimensional Minkowski space (or Banach space) such…

We prove that, over any field, the dimension of the indeterminacy locus of a rational transformation $f$ of $P^n$ which is defined by monomials of the same degree $d$ with no common factors is at least $(n-2)/2$, provided that the degree of…

We develop the theory of equiangular lines in Euclidean spaces. Our focus is on the question of when a Seidel matrix having precisely three distinct eigenvalues has a regular graph in its switching class. We make some progress towards an…

We investigate spherical 4-distance 7-designs by studying their distance distributions. We compute these distance distributions and use their product (an integer) to derive certain divisibility conditions relating the dimension $n$ and the…

Let $K$ be a number field and $f_1,\ldots,f_s\in K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ forms of odd degrees. In 1957, Birch proved that if $n$ is sufficiently large then the forms always have a nontrivial zero in $K^n$. Apart from some small degrees, the…

We calculate the number of unary clones (submonoids of the full transformation monoid) containing the permutations, on an infinite base set. It turns out that this number is quite large, on some cardinals as large as the whole clone…

In a Riemannian manifold, it is well known that the scalar curvature at a point can be recovered from the volumes (areas) of small geodesic balls (spheres). We show the scalar curvature is likewise determined by the relative capacities of…

Consider the integer points lying on the sphere of fixed radius projected onto the unit sphere. Duke showed that, on congruence conditions for the radius squared, these points equidistribute. To further this study of equidistribution, we…
