On the Davenport constant and group algebras

Daniel Smertnig (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

For a finite abelian group G and a splitting field K of G, let (G,K) denote the largest integer l ∈ ℕ for which there is a sequence S = g · . . . · g l over G such that ( X g - a ) · . . . · ( X g l - a l ) 0 K [ G ] for all a , . . . , a l K × . If (G) denotes the Davenport constant of G, then there is the straightforward inequality (G) - 1 ≤ (G,K). Equality holds for a variety of groups, and a conjecture of W. Gao et al. states that equality holds for all groups. We offer further groups for which equality holds, but we also give the first examples of groups G for which (G) -...

On the distribution of integral and prime divisors with equal norms

Baruch Z. Moroz (1984)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

In finite Galois extensions k 1 , ... , k r of Q with pairwise coprime discriminants the integral and the prime divisors subject to the condition N k 1 / Q 𝔞 r = = N k r / Q 𝔞 r are equidistributed in the sense of E. Hecke.

On the distribution of the free path length of the linear flow in a honeycomb

Florin P. Boca, Radu N. Gologan (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Consider the region obtained by removing from 2 the discs of radius ε , centered at the points of integer coordinates ( a , b ) with b a ( mod ) . We are interested in the distribution of the free path length (exit time) τ , ε ( ω ) of a point particle, moving from ( 0 , 0 ) along a linear trajectory of direction ω , as ε 0 + . For every integer number 2 , we prove the weak convergence of the probability measures associated with the random variables ε τ , ε , explicitly computing the limiting distribution. For = 3 , respectively = 2 , this result leads...
