In his proof of Szemerédi’s Theorem, Gowers introduced certain norms that are defined on a parallelepiped structure. A natural question is on which sets a parallelepiped structure (and thus a Gowers norm) can be defined. We focus on dimensions and and show when this possible, and describe a correspondence between the parallelepiped structures and nilpotent groups.
In this paper we consider some special classes of Diophantine equations connected with McFarland's and Ma's conjectures about difference sets in abelian groups and we obtain an extension of known results.
Dans cet article, on s’intéresse au problème suivant. Soient un nombre premier, et . Quel est le plus grand entier tel que pour toutes paires de sous-ensembles disjoints de vérifiant , il existe tel que si et si ? Ce problème correspond à l’étude de la complexité de certaines familles d’ensembles pseudo-aléatoires. Dans un premier temps, nous rappelons la définition de cette complexité et resituons le contexte des ensembles pseudo-aléatoires. Ensuite, nous exposons les différents...
Sharma-Kaushik partitions have been used to define distances between vectors with -coordinates. In this paper, “difference matrices” for the partitioning classes have been introduced and investigated. It has been shown that the difference matrices are circulant and that the entries of a product of matrices is an extended intersection number of a distance scheme. The sum of the entries of each row or columns of the product matrix has been obtained. The algebra of matrices generated by the difference...
