Foulkes' conjecture has several generalisations due to Doran, Abdesselam--Chipalkatti, Bergeron, and Troyka. For the special linear Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_2(\mathbb{C})$, these assert that given $a \le c \le d \le b$ with $ab=cd$, the…

For every $d \geq 2$, we present a generalization of the CHSH inequality with the property that maximal violation self-tests the maximally entangled state of local dimension $d$. This is the first example of a family of inequalities with…

Frankl's union-closed sets conjecture states that in every finite union-closed set of sets, there is an element that is contained in at least half of the member-sets (provided there are at least two members). The conjecture has an…

A family of subsets $\mathcal{F}\subseteq {[n]\choose k}$ is called intersecting if any two of its members share a common element. Consider an intersecting family, a direct problem is to determine its maximal size and the inverse problem is…

For a family $\mathcal F$ define $\nu(\mathcal F,t)$ as the largest $s$ for which there exist $A_1,\ldots, A_{s}\in \mathcal F$ such that for $i\ne j$ we have $|A_i\cap A_j|< t$. What is the largest family $\mathcal F\subset{[n]\choose k}$…

We study Fermat's Last Theorem and Catalan's conjecture in the context of weak arithmetics with exponentiation. We deal with expansions (B,e) of models of arithmetical theories (in the language L=(0,1,+,x,<)) by a binary (partial or total)…

A family $\mathcal F\subset 2^{[n]}$ is called intersecting if any two of its sets intersect. Given an intersecting family, its diversity is the number of sets not passing through the most popular element of the ground set. Peter Frankl…

A finite family $\mathrsfs{F}$ of subsets of a finite set $X$ is union-closed whenever $f,g\in\mathrsfs{F}$ implies $f\cup g\in\mathrsfs{F}$. These families are well known because of Frankl's conjecture. In this paper we developed further…

The Frankl conjecture, also known as the union-closed sets conjecture, states that in any finite non-empty union-closed family, there exists an element in at least half of the sets. Let $f(n,a)$ be the maximum number of sets in a…

The relation between the boolean functions and Bell inequalities for qubits is analyzed. The connection between the maximal quantum violation of a Bell inequality and the nonlinearity of the corresponding boolean function is discussed. A…

Let $V$ be a finite dimensional vector space over a finite field, and $\mathcal{F}$ a family consisting of $k$-subspaces of $V$. The family $\mathcal{F}$ is called $t$-intersecting if $\dim(F_{1}\cap F_{2})\geq t$ for any $F_{1}, F_{2}\in…

A family of $k$-subsets $A_1, A_2, ..., A_d$ on $[n]=\{1,2,..., n\}$ is called a $(d, c)$-cluster if the union $A_1\cup A_2 \cup ... \cup A_d$ contains at most $ck$ elements with $c<d$. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of $k$-subsets of an…

For a graph property $\mathcal{P}$ and a common vertex set $V = \{1, 2, \ldots, n\}$, a family of graphs on $V$ is \emph{$\mathcal{P}$-intersecting} iff $G \cap H$ satisfies $\mathcal{P}$ for all $G,H$ in the family. Addressing a question…

Let $[n]$ (resp. $V$) be an $n$-element set (resp. $n$-dimensional vector space over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$), and $\binom{[n]}{k}$ (resp. $\genfrac{[}{]}{0pt}{}{V}{k}$) denote the set of all $k$-subsets of $[n]$ (resp.…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\matchcal{B}$ denote two families of subsets of an $n$-element set. The pair $(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B})$ is said to be $\ell$-cross-intersecting iff $|A\cap B| = \ell$ for all $A\in\mathcal{A}$ and $B\in\mathcal{B}$.…

The Fenchel-Young inequality is fundamental in Convex Analysis and Optimization. It states that the difference between certain function values of two vectors and their inner product is nonnegative. Recently, Carlier introduced a very nice…

Given a family $\mathcal F\subset 2^{[n]}$, its diversity is the number of sets not containing an element with the highest degree. The concept of diversity has proven to be very useful in the context of $k$-uniform intersecting families. In…

Given a Chevalley group ${\mathbf G}(q)$ and a parabolic subgroup $P\subset {\mathbf G}(q)$, we prove that for any set $A$ there is a certain growth of $A$ relatively to $P$, namely, either $AP$ or $PA$ is much larger than $A$. Also, we…

If a family $\mathcal{F}$ of $k$-element subsets of an $n$-element set is pairwise intersecting, $2k\leq n$ then $|\mathcal{F}|\leq {n-1\choose k-1}$ holds by the celebrated Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado theorem. But an intersecting family obviously…

We study the statistical fluctuations (such as the variance) of causal set quantities, with particular focus on the causal set action. To facilitate calculating such fluctuations, we develop tools to account for correlations between causal…
