An instance of colorful k-center consists of points in a metric space that are colored red or blue, along with an integer k and a coverage requirement for each color. The goal is to find the smallest radius ρ such that there exist balls of radius ρ around ...
We investigate how spectral properties of a measure-preserving system (X, B, mu, T) are reflected in the multiple ergodic averages arising from that system. For certain sequences a :N -> N, we provide natural conditions on the spectrum sigma (T) such that, ...
It is well-known that a finite group possesses a universal central extension if and only if it is a perfect group. Similarly, given a prime number p, we show that a finite group possesses a universal p′-central extension if and only if the p′-part of its a ...
Let F-p be a prime field of order p > 2, and let A be a set in F-p with very small size in terms of p. In this note, we show that the number of distinct cubic distances determined by points in A x A satisfies vertical bar(A - A)(3) + (A - A)(3 vertical bar ...
Fix a prime number l. Graphs of isogenies of degree a power of l are well-understood for elliptic curves, but not for higher-dimensional abelian varieties. We study the case of absolutely simple ordinary abelian varieties over a finite field. We analyse gr ...
We use Masser's counting theorem to prove a lower bound for the canonical height in powers of elliptic curves. We also prove the Galois case of the elliptic Lehmer problem, combining Kummer theory and Masser's result with bounds on the rank and torsion of ...
The cytoskeleton is a highly dynamical protein network that plays a central role in numerous cellular physiological processes, and is traditionally divided into three components according to its chemical composition, i.e. actin, tubulin and intermediate fi ...
We show that the exponent of distribution of the ternary divisor function d(3) in arithmetic progressions to prime moduli is at least 1/2 + 1/46, improving results of Friedlander-Iwaniec and Heath-Brown. Furthermore, when averaging over a fixed residue cla ...
We prove that the Kloosterman sum changes sign infinitely often as runs over squarefree moduli with at most 10 prime factors, which improves the previous results of Fouvry and Michel, Sivak-Fischler and Matomaki, replacing 10 by 23, 18 and 15, respectively ...
