In this note we show that unsatisfiable systems of linear equations with a constant number of variables per equation over prime finite fields have polynomial-size constant-degree semi-algebraic proofs of unsatisfiability. These are proofs…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of $q$ elements with characteristic $p$. Let $\mathbb{Z}_q$ denote the unramified extension of the $p$-adic integers $\mathbb{Z}_p$ with residue field $\mathbb{F}_q$. In this paper, we investigate…

Let $F(x,y)$ be a polynomial over the rationals. We show that if $F$ is not an expander (over the rationals) then it has a special multiplicative or additive form. For example if $F$ is a homogeneous non-expander polynomial then…

Permutation polynomials (PPs) of the form $(x^{q} -x + c)^{\frac{q^2 -1}{3}+1} +x$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ were presented by Li, Helleseth and Tang [Finite Fields Appl. 22 (2013) 16--23]. More recently, we have constructed PPs of the form…

We study the mixing properties of progressions $(x,xg,xg^2)$, $(x,xg,xg^2,xg^3)$ of length three and four in a model class of finite non-abelian groups, namely the special linear groups $SL_d(F)$ over a finite field $F$, with $d$ bounded.…

For a function field $K$ and fixed polynomial $F\in K[x]$ and varying $f\in F$ (under certain restrictions) we give a lower bound for the degree of the greatest prime divisor of $F(f)$ in terms of the height of $f$, establishing a strong…

Let (k1,k2,k3,k4) be a quartet of cyclic cubic number fields sharing a common conductor c=pqr divisible by exactly three prime(power)s p,q,r. For those components k of the quartet whose 3-class group Cl(3,k) = Z/3Z x Z/3Z is elementary…

For $p$ being a large prime number, and $A \subset \mathbb{F}_p$ we prove the following: $(i)$ If $A(A+A)$ does not cover all nonzero residues in $\mathbb{F}_p$, then $|A| < p/8 + o(p)$. $(ii)$ If $A$ is both sum-free and satisfies $A =…

Let $\mathcal{P}_r$ denote an almost-prime with at most $r$ prime factors, counted according to multiplicity. In this paper, we generalize the result of Vaughan for ternary admissible exponent. Moreover, we use the refined admissible…

It has been conjectured by Sarkozy that with finitely many exceptions, the set of quadratic residues modulo a prime $p$ cannot be represented as a sumset $\{a+b\colon a\in A, b\in B\}$ with non-singleton sets $A,B\subset F_p$. The case…

Let $a < b$ be multiplicatively independent integers, both at least $2$. Let $A,B$ be closed subsets of $[0,1]$ that are forward invariant under multiplication by $a$, $b$ respectively, and let $C := A\times B$. An old conjecture of…

Let $\mu_1, \ldots, \mu_s$ be real numbers, with $\mu_1$ irrational. We investigate sums of shifted cubes $F(x_1,\ldots,x_s) = (x_1 - \mu_1)^3 + \ldots + (x_s - \mu_s)^3$. We show that if $\eta$ is real, $\tau >0$ is sufficiently large, and…

We determine the minimal number of variables $\Gamma^*(d, K)$ which guarantees a nontrivial solution for every additive form of degree $d=4$ over the four ramified quadratic extensions $\mathbb{Q}_2(\sqrt{2}), \mathbb{Q}_2(\sqrt{10}),…

Let $\alpha\in\mathbb R$, $q\in(0,\infty]$, $p\in(0,\infty)$, and $W$ be an $A_p(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathbb{C}^m)$-matrix weight. In this article, the authors characterize the matrix-weighted Triebel-Lizorkin space $\dot{F}_{p}^{\alpha,q}(W)$ via…

Let d>2 and let p be a prime coprime to d. Let Z_pbar be the ring of integers of Q_pbar. Suppose f(x) is a degree-d polynomial over Qbar and Z_pbar. Let P be a prime ideal over p in the ring of integers of Q(f), where Q(f) is the number…

Let $\mathcal{P}_r$ denote an almost-prime with at most $r$ prime factors, counted according to multiplicity. In this paper, it is proved that, for $12\leqslant b\leqslant 35$ and for every sufficiently large odd integer $N$, the equation…

Let $A$ be a set in a prime field $\mathbb{F}_p$. In this paper, we prove that $d\times d$ matrices with entries in $A$ determine almost $|A|^{3+\frac{1}{45}}$ distinct determinants and almost $|A|^{2-\frac{1}{6}}$ distinct permanents when…

In this paper we determine the maximum number of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ which form exactly $t$ distinct triangles, where we restrict ourselves to the case of $t = 1$. We denote this quantity by $F_d(t)$. It was known from the work of…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of order $q$ and $\mathcal{E}$ be a set in $\mathbb{F}_q^d$. The distance set of $\mathcal{E}$, denoted by $\Delta(\mathcal{E})$, is the set of distinct distances determined by the pairs of points in…

In this paper, we introduce new general frameworks for estimating the maximal dimension of Hilbert cubes contained in finite truncations of arbitrary sets. As applications, we investigate Hilbert cubes in a range of arithmetic sets,…
