A short proof, based on mixed volumes, of Liggett's theorem on the convolution of ultra-logconcave sequences.
We establish the spectral gap property for dense subgroups of SU, generated by finitely many elements with algebraic entries; this result was announced...
We study the interplay between recurrences for zeta related functions at integer values, 'Minor Corner Lattice' Toeplitz determinants and integer composition based sums. Our investigations touch on functional identities due to Ramanujan and Grosswald, the transcendence of the zeta function at odd integer values, the Li Criterion for the Riemann Hypothesis and pseudo-characteristic polynomials for zeta related functions. We begin with a recent result for ζ(2s) and some seemingly new Bernoulli relations,...
Let J ⊂ ℝ² be the set of couples (x,q) with q > 1 such that x has at least one representation of the form with integer coefficients satisfying , i ≥ 1. In this case we say that is an expansion of x in base q. Let U be the set of couples (x,q) ∈ J such that x has exactly one expansion in base q. In this paper we deduce some topological and combinatorial properties of the set U. We characterize the closure of U, and we determine its Hausdorff dimension. For (x,q) ∈ J, we also prove new properties...
