Let $\pi$ be a finite dimensional unitary representation of a group $G$ with a generating symmetric $n$-element set $S\subset G$. Fix $\vp>0$. Assume that the spectrum of $|S|^{-1}\sum_{s\in S} \pi(s) \otimes \overline{\pi(s)}$ is included…

Here we present some revised arguments to a randomized algorithm proposed by Sudan to find the polynomials of bounded degree agreeing on a dense fraction of a set of points in $\mathbb{F}^{2}$ for some field $\mathbb{F}$.

Let $p$ be a prime number, and let $S$ be the numerical semigroup generated by the prime numbers not less than $p$. We compare the orders of magnitude of some invariants of $S$ with each other, e. g., the biggest atom $u$ of $S$ with $p$…

Let $f(t_1,\ldots,t_n)$ be a nondegenerate integral quadratic form. We analyze the asymptotic behavior of the function $D_f(X)$, the number of integers of absolute value up to $X$ represented by $f$. When $f$ is isotropic or $n$ is at least…

We consider cones of real forms which are sums of squares forms and invariant by a (finite) reflection group. We show how the representation theory of these groups allows to use the symmetry inherent in these cones to give more efficient…

Zaremba's conjecture (1971) states that every positive integer number can be represented as a denominator (continuant) of a finit continued fraction with all partial quotients being bounded by an absolute constant A. Recently (in 2011)…

For a given finitely generated multiplicative subgroup of the rationals which possibly contain negative numbers, we derive, subject to GRH, formulas for the densities of primes for which the index of the reduction group has a given value.…

We prove some cases of a conjecture by Farhi on the representation of every positive integer as the sum of three terms of the sequence $ \left\lfloor\frac{n^2}{a}\right\rfloor$. This is done by generalizing a method used by Farhi in his…

The presence of large partial quotients can invalidate many classical limit theorems in the metric theory of continued fractions. A commonly employed strategy to overcome this problem is to discard the largest partial quotient when…

In this paper, we consider mixed sums of generalized polygonal numbers. Specifically, we obtain a finiteness condition for universality of such sums; this means that it suffices to check representability of a finite subset of the positive…

Introducing the notion of a rational system of measure preserving transformations and proving a recurrence result for such systems, we give sufficient conditions in order a subset of rational numbers to contain arbitrary long arithmetic…

We give a~detailed construction of the complete ordered field of real numbers by means of infinite decimal expansions. We prove that in the canonical encoding of decimals neither addition nor multiplication is {\em computable}, but that…

Tensor products of irreducible representations of the Jordanian quantum algebras U_h(sl(2)) and U_h(su(1,1)) are considered. For both the highest weight finite dimensional representations of U_h(sl(2)) and lowest weight infinite dimensional…

We consider the problem of finding a sparse multiple of a polynomial. Given f in F[x] of degree d over a field F, and a desired sparsity t, our goal is to determine if there exists a multiple h in F[x] of f such that h has at most t…

In this paper, we use the transference principle to investigate the representation of sufficiently large positive integers as the sum of prime powers and integer powers, where the primes are drawn from a positive density subset of the set…

Sidon sets are those sets such that the sums of two of its elements never coincide. They go back to the 30s when Sidon asked for the maximal size of a subset of consecutive integers with that property. This question is now answered in a…

Let $m\ge 2$ be a fixed positive integer. Suppose that $m^j \leq n< m^{j+1}$ is a positive integer for some $j\ge 0$. Denote $b_{m}(n)$ the number of $m$-ary partitions of $n$, where each part of the partition is a power of $m$. In this…

\textit{Let $E$ be an infinite set on which a property $(\bf P)$ is defined. Suppose that $E=\cup_{i\in I} E_i$ is a partition, where each $E_i$ is infinite. Suppose also that, in each $E_i$, the number of elements satisfying $(\bf P)$ is…

We consider a family of integer sequences generated by nonlinear recurrences of the second order, which have the curious property that the terms of the sequence, and integer multiples of the ratios of successive terms (which are also…

A set $A$ is MSTD (more-sum-than-difference) if $|A+A|>|A-A|$. Though MSTD sets are rare, Martin and O'Bryant proved that there exists a positive constant lower bound for the proportion of MSTD subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots ,r\}$ as…
