Let $R_s\left(n\right)$ denote the number of representations of the positive number n as the sum of two squares and s biquadrates. When $s=3$ or 4, it is established that the anticipated asymptotic formula for $R_s\left(n\right)$ holds for all $n\le X$ with at most $O\left(X^{(9-2s)/8+\epsilon }\right)$ exceptions.

This note presents the study of the conjugacy classes of elements of some given finite order $n$ in the Cremona group of the plane. In particular, it is shown that the number of conjugacy classes is infinite if $n$ is even, $n=3$ or $n=5$, and that it is equal to $3$ (respectively $9$) if $n=9$ (respectively if $n=15$) and to $1$ for all remaining odd orders. Some precise representative elements of the classes are given.

Let ${}_q\left[t\right]$ be the polynomial ring over the finite field ${}_q$, and let ${}_N$ be the subset of ${}_q\left[t\right]$ containing all polynomials of degree strictly less than N. Define D(N) to be the maximal cardinality of a set $A{\subseteq }_N$ for which A-A contains no squares of polynomials. By combining the polynomial Hardy-Littlewood circle method with the density increment technology developed by Pintz, Steiger and Szemerédi, we prove that $D\left(N\right)\ll q^N{\left(logN\right)}^7/N$.

The class of $H^{\left(N\right)}$-sets forms an important subclass of the class of sets of uniqueness for trigonometric series. We investigate the size of this class which is reflected by the family of measures (called polar) annihilating all sets from the class. The main aim of this paper is to answer in the negative a question stated by Lyons, whether the polars of the classes of $H^{\left(N\right)}$-sets are the same for all N ∈ ℕ. To prove our result we also present a new description of $H^{\left(N\right)}$-sets.

Let V ⊂ ℝⁿ, n ≥ 2, be an unbounded algebraic set defined by a system of polynomial equations $h₁\left(x\right)=\cdots =h_r\left(x\right)=0$ and let f: ℝⁿ→ ℝ be a polynomial. It is known that if f is positive on V then ${f|}_V$ extends to a positive polynomial on the ambient space ℝⁿ, provided V is a variety. We give a constructive proof of this fact for an arbitrary algebraic set V. Precisely, if f is positive on V then there exists a polynomial $h\left(x\right)={\sum }_{i=1}^{r}h{²}_i\left(x\right){\sigma }_i\left(x\right)$, where ${\sigma }_i$ are sums of squares of polynomials of degree at most p, such that f(x) + h(x) >...

This paper is devoted to investigating the properties of multilinear $A_{P⃗}$ conditions and $A_{(P⃗,q)}$ conditions, which are suitable for the study of multilinear operators on Lebesgue spaces. Some monotonicity properties of $A_{P⃗}$ and $A_{(P⃗,q)}$ classes with respect to P⃗ and q are given, although these classes are not in general monotone with respect to the natural partial order. Equivalent characterizations of multilinear $A_{(P⃗,q)}$ classes in terms of the linear $A_p$ classes are established. These results essentially improve...

In this paper we prove the following theorems in incidence geometry. 1. There is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le n^{(1+\delta )/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$ are collinear. If the number of the distinct lines is $<c{n}^{1/2}$ then the cross ratio of the four points is algebraic. 2. Given $c>0$, there is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,P_2,P_3\in {ℂ}^2$ noncollinear, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le c{n}^{1/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then for any $P\in {ℂ}^2\setminus \{P_1,P_2,P_3\}$, we have $\delta n$ distinct lines between $P$ and $Q_j$. 3. Given...

Let ${ℱ}_h^i(k,n)$ be the $i$-th ordered configuration space of all distinct points $H_1,...,H_h$ in the Grassmannian $Gr(k,n)$ of $k$-dimensional subspaces of ${ℂ}^n$, whose sum is a subspace of dimension $i$. We prove that ${ℱ}_h^i(k,n)$ is (when non empty) a complex submanifold of $Gr{(k,n)}^h$ of dimension $i(n-i)+hk(i-k)$ and its fundamental group is trivial if $i=min(n,hk)$, $hk\ne n$ and $n\&gt;2$ and equal to the braid group of the sphere $ℂ$ $P^1$ if $n=2$. Eventually we compute the fundamental group in the special case of hyperplane arrangements, i.e. $k=n-1$.

Inspired by a result from Leibov, we find that the supremum defining the $BLO$ norm in $[0,1]$ is actually attained by a specific sub-interval of $[0,1]$ for $f\in VLO([0,1])$

Let $N$ be a normal subgroup of a group $G$. The structure of $N$ is given when the $G$-conjugacy class sizes of $N$ is a set of a special kind. In fact, we give the structure of a normal subgroup $N$ under the assumption that the set of $G$-conjugacy class sizes of $N$ is $(p_{1n_1}^{a_{1n_1}},\cdots ,p_{11}^{a_{11}},1)\times \cdots \times (p_{r{n}_r}^{a_{r{n}_r}},\cdots ,p_{r1}^{a_{r1}},1)$, where $r>1$, $n_i>1$ and $p_{ij}$ are distinct primes for $i\in \{1,2,\cdots ,r\}$, $j\in \{1,2,\cdots ,n_i\}$.

We show that any ${\Sigma }_s$-product of at most $𝔠$-many $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-spaces has the $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-property. This result generalizes some known results about $L\Sigma (\le \omega )$-spaces. On the other hand, we prove that every ${\Sigma }_s$-product of monotonically monolithic spaces is monotonically monolithic, and in a similar form, we show that every ${\Sigma }_s$-product of Collins-Roscoe spaces has the Collins-Roscoe property. These results generalize some known results about the Collins-Roscoe spaces and answer some questions due to Tkachuk [Lifting the Collins-Roscoe...

Let $D$ be a ${𝒞}^d$ $q$-convex intersection, $d\ge 2$, $0\le q\le n-1$, in a complex manifold $X$ of complex dimension $n$, $n\ge 2$, and let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle of rank $N$ over $X$. In this paper, ${𝒞}^k$-estimates, $k=2,3,\cdots ,\infty$, for solutions to the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with small loss of smoothness are obtained for $E$-valued $(0,s)$-forms on $D$ when $n-q\le s\le n$. In addition, we solve the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with a support condition in ${𝒞}^k$-spaces. More precisely, we prove that for a $\overline{\partial }$-closed form $f$ in ${𝒞}_{0,q}^k(X\setminus D,E)$, $1\le q\le n-2$, $n\ge 3$, with compact support and for $\epsilon$ with $0<\epsilon <1$ there...

Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be two given graphs. The Ramsey number $R(G_1,G_2)$ is the least integer $r$ such that for every graph $G$ on $r$ vertices, either $G$ contains a $G_1$ or $\overline{G}$ contains a $G_2$. Parsons gave a recursive formula to determine the values of $R(P_n,K_{1,m})$, where $P_n$ is a path on $n$ vertices and $K_{1,m}$ is a star on $m+1$ vertices. In this note, we study the Ramsey numbers $R(P_n,K_1\vee F_m)$, where $F_m$ is a linear forest on $m$ vertices. We determine the exact values of $R(P_n,K_1\vee F_m)$ for the cases $m\le n$ and $m\ge 2n$, and for the case that $F_m$ has no odd component. Moreover, we...
