For an elliptic curve E over Q and a natural number j, Cojocaru has shown that there is an explicit constant C_E,j giving (under GRH) the density of primes p of good reduction such that the smallest invariant factor of E(F_p) is j. For E…
We consider the distance to the nearest integer of f(p), where f is a quadratic polynomial with irrational leading coefficient. This distance is very small as a function of p, for infinitely many primes p. We give a 14% improvement in the…
We study the following Steinberg-type problem on circular coloring: for an odd integer $k\ge 3$, what is the smallest number $f(k)$ such that every planar graph of girth $k$ without cycles of length from $k+1$ to $f(k)$ admits a…
A projective rectangle is like a projective plane that has different lengths in two directions. We develop the basic theory of projective rectangles including incidence properties, projective subplanes, configuration counts, a partial…
An untouchable set in a projective plane is a set of points such that no line of the plane meets the set in exactly one point. Recently, H\'eger and Nagy (Avoiding Secants of Given Size in Finite Projective Planes, J. Combin. Des.…
Over the past few years, the codes $\mathcal{C}_{n-1}(n,q)$ arising from the incidence of points and hyperplanes in the projective space $\text{PG}(n,q)$ attracted a lot of attention. In particular, small weight codewords of…
Let $D>3$, $D\equiv3\;(4)$ be a prime, and let $\mathcal{C}$ be an ideal class in the field $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-D})$. In this article, we give a new proof that $p(D,\mathcal{C})$, the smallest norm of a split prime…
The point-plane incidence theorem states that the number of incidences between $n$ points and $m\geq n$ planes in the projective three-space over a field $F$, is $$O\left(m\sqrt{n}+ m k\right),$$ where $k$ is the maximum number of collinear…
The second order hypergeometric q-difference operator is studied for the value c=-q. For certain parameter regimes the corresponding recurrence relation can be related to a symmetric operator on the Hilbert space l^2(Z). The operator has…
Let $Q_n=[0,1]^n$ be the unit cube in ${\mathbb R}^n$ and let $C(Q_n)$ be a space of continuous functions $f:Q_n\to{\mathbb R}$ with the norm $\|f\|_{C(Q_n)}:=\max_{x\in Q_n}|f(x)|.$ By $\Pi_1\left({\mathbb R}^n\right)$ denote a set of…
We use a restriction theorem for Fourier transforms of fractal measures to study projections onto families of planes in R^3 whose normal directions form nondegenerate curves.
Minimal 1-saturating sets in the projective plane $PG(2,q)$ are considered. They correspond to covering codes which can be applied to many branches of combinatorics and information theory, as data compression, compression with distortion,…
We give upper bounds on the size of the gap between the constant term and the next non-zero Fourier coefficient of an entire modular form of given weight for \Gamma_0(2). Numerical evidence indicates that a sharper bound holds for the…
We consider the following equations: \begin{equation*} \left\{\begin{array}{ll} (-\triangle)^{\alpha/2}u(x)=f(v(x)), \\ (-\triangle)^{\beta/2}v(x)=g(u(x)), &x \in R^{n},\\ u,v\geq 0, &x \in R^{n}, \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} for…
We establish several optimal estimates for exceptional parameters in the projection of fractal measures: (1) For a parametric family of self-similar measures satisfying a transversality condition, the set of parameters leading to a…
In this paper, we show that a small minimal k-blocking set in PG(n, q3), q = p^h, h >= 1, p prime, p >=7, intersecting every (n-k)-space in 1 (mod q) points, is linear. As a corollary, this result shows that all small minimal k-blocking…
Let $p$ be an odd prime, $k,\ell$ be positive integers, $q=p^k, Q=p^{\ell}$. In this paper we characterise planar functions of the form $f_{\underline{c}}(X)=c_0X^{qQ+q}+c_1X^{qQ+1}+c_2X^{Q+q}+c_3X^{Q+1}$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ for any…
Representations of $SO(5)_{q}$ can be constructed on bases such that either the Chevalley triplet $(e_{1},\;f_{1},\;h_{1})$ or $(e_{2},\;f_{2},\;h_{2})$ has the standard $SU(2)_{q}$ matrix elements. The other triplet in each cases has a…
If $f,g:\mathbb{R}^n\longrightarrow\mathbb{R}_{\geq0}$ are non-negative measurable functions, then the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality asserts that the integral of the Asplund sum (provided that it is measurable) is greater or equal than the…
We prove that a connected properly immersed minimal surface in Euclidean 3-space with infinite symmetry group whose intersection with a ball of radius R is less than 2\piR^2 is a plane, a catenoid or a Scherk singly-periodic minimal…
