  • Ergodic Theory and Combinatorial Number Theory
    Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach Report No. 50/2012 DOI: 10.4171/OWR/2012/50 Arbeitsgemeinschaft: Ergodic Theory and Combinatorial Number Theory Organised by Vitaly Bergelson, Columbus Nikos Frantzikinakis, Heraklion Terence Tao, Los Angeles Tamar Ziegler, Haifa 7th October – 13th October 2012 Abstract. The aim of this Arbeitsgemeinschaft was to introduce young re- searchers with various backgrounds to the multifaceted and mutually perpet- uating connections between ergodic theory, topological dynamics, combina- torics, and number theory. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 05D10, 11K06, 11B25, 11B30, 27A45, 28D05, 28D15, 37A30, 37A45, 37B05. Introduction by the Organisers In 1977 Furstenberg gave an ergodic proof of the celebrated theorem of Sze- mer´edi on arithmetic progressions, hereby starting a new field, ergodic Ramsey theory. Over the years the methods of ergodic theory and topological dynamics have led to very impressive developments in the fields of arithmetic combinatorics and Ramsey theory. Furstenberg’s original approach has been enhanced with sev- eral deep structural results of measure preserving systems, equidistribution results on nilmanifolds, the use of ultrafilters etc. Several novel techniques have been de- veloped and opened new vistas that led to new deep results, including far reaching extensions of Szemer´edi’s theorem, results in Euclidean Ramsey theory, multiple recurrence results for non-abelian group actions, convergence results for multiple ergodic averages etc. These methods have also facilitated the recent spectacu- lar progress on patterns in primes. The field of ergodic theory has tremendously benefited, since the problems of combinatorial and number-theoretic nature have given a boost to the in depth study of recurrence and convergence problems.

  • FROM HARMONIC ANALYSIS to ARITHMETIC COMBINATORICS: a BRIEF SURVEY the Purpose of This Note Is to Showcase a Certain Line Of
    FROM HARMONIC ANALYSIS TO ARITHMETIC COMBINATORICS: A BRIEF SURVEY IZABELLA ÃLABA The purpose of this note is to showcase a certain line of research that connects harmonic analysis, speci¯cally restriction theory, to other areas of mathematics such as PDE, geometric measure theory, combinatorics, and number theory. There are many excellent in-depth presentations of the vari- ous areas of research that we will discuss; see e.g., the references below. The emphasis here will be on highlighting the connections between these areas. Our starting point will be restriction theory in harmonic analysis on Eu- clidean spaces. The main theme of restriction theory, in this context, is the connection between the decay at in¯nity of the Fourier transforms of singu- lar measures and the geometric properties of their support, including (but not necessarily limited to) curvature and dimensionality. For example, the Fourier transform of a measure supported on a hypersurface in Rd need not, in general, belong to any Lp with p < 1, but there are positive results if the hypersurface in question is curved. A classic example is the restriction theory for the sphere, where a conjecture due to E. M. Stein asserts that the Fourier transform maps L1(Sd¡1) to Lq(Rd) for all q > 2d=(d¡1). This has been proved in dimension 2 (Fe®erman-Stein, 1970), but remains open oth- erwise, despite the impressive and often groundbreaking work of Bourgain, Wol®, Tao, Christ, and others. We recommend [8] for a thorough survey of restriction theory for the sphere and other curved hypersurfaces. Restriction-type estimates have been immensely useful in PDE theory; in fact, much of the interest in the subject stems from PDE applications.

  • Green-Tao Theorem in Function Fields 11
    GREEN-TAO THEOREM IN FUNCTION FIELDS THAI´ HOANG` LE^ Abstract. We adapt the proof of the Green-Tao theorem on arithmetic progressions in primes to the setting of polynomials over a finite fields, to show that for every k, the irreducible polynomials in Fq[t] contains configurations of the form ff + P g : deg(P ) < kg; g 6= 0. 1. Introduction In [13], Green and Tao proved the following celebrated theorem now bearing their name: Theorem 1 (Green-Tao). The primes contain arithmetic progressions of arbitrarily length. Furthermore, the same conclusion is true for any subset of positive relative upper density of the primes. Subsequently, other variants of this theorem have been proved. Tao and Ziegler [26] proved the generalization for polynomial progressions a + p1(d); : : : ; a + pk(d), where pi 2 Z[x] and pi(0) = 0. Tao [24] proved the analog in the Gaussian integers. It is well known that the integers and the polynomials over a finite field share a lot of similarities in many aspects relevant to arithmetic combinatorics. Therefore, it is natural, as Green and Tao did, to suggest that the analog of this theorem should hold in the setting of function fields: Conjecture 1. For any finite field F, the monic irreducible polynomials in F[t] contain affine spaces of arbitrarily high dimension. We give an affirmative answer to this conjecture. More precisely, we will prove: Theorem 2 (Green-Tao for function fields). Let Fq be a finite field over q elements. Then for any k > 0, we can find polynomials f; g 2 Fq[t]; g 6= 0 such that the polynomials f + P g, where P runs over all polynomials P 2 Fq[t] of degree less than k, are all irreducible.

  • The Cauchy Davenport Theorem

We will schedule a makeup class sometime. • Office hours: Thursdays at 11am. • References: Tao and Vu, Additive combinatorics, and other online references (including class notes). • Grading: there will be 2 or 3 problem sets. 2 How small can a sumset be? Let A; B be subsets of an abelian group (G; +). The sumset of A and B, denoted A + B is given by: A + B = fa + b j a 2 A; b 2 Bg: We will be very interested in how the size of A + B relates to the sizes of A and B (for A,B finite). Some general comments. If A and B are generic, then we expect jA + Bj to be big. Only when A and B are very additively structured, and furthermore if their structure is highly compatible, does jA + Bj end up small. If G is the group of real numbers under addition, then the following simple inequality holds: jA + Bj ≥ jAj + jBj − 1: Proof: Let A = fa1; : : : ; akg where a1 < a2 < : : : < ak. Let B = fb1; : : : ; b`g, where b1 < : : : < b`. Then a1 + b1 < a1 + b2 < : : : < a1 + b` < a2 + b` < a3 + b` < : : : < ak + b`, and thus all these elements of A + B are distinct. Thus we found jAj + jBj − 1 distinct elements in A + B. Equality is attained if and only if A and B are arithmetic progressions with the same common difference (In case of equality we need to have either ai + bj = a1 + bj+i−1 or ai + bj = ai+j−` + b`).

  • Additive Combinatorics with a View Towards Computer Science And
    Additive Combinatorics with a view towards Computer Science and Cryptography An Exposition Khodakhast Bibak Department of Combinatorics and Optimization University of Waterloo Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L 3G1 [email protected] October 25, 2012 Abstract Recently, additive combinatorics has blossomed into a vibrant area in mathematical sciences. But it seems to be a difficult area to define – perhaps because of a blend of ideas and techniques from several seemingly unrelated contexts which are used there. One might say that additive combinatorics is a branch of mathematics concerning the study of combinatorial properties of algebraic objects, for instance, Abelian groups, rings, or fields. This emerging field has seen tremendous advances over the last few years, and has recently become a focus of attention among both mathematicians and computer scientists. This fascinating area has been enriched by its formidable links to combinatorics, number theory, harmonic analysis, ergodic theory, and some other arXiv:1108.3790v9 [math.CO] 25 Oct 2012 branches; all deeply cross-fertilize each other, holding great promise for all of them! In this exposition, we attempt to provide an overview of some breakthroughs in this field, together with a number of seminal applications to sundry parts of mathematics and some other disciplines, with emphasis on computer science and cryptography. 1 Introduction Additive combinatorics is a compelling and fast growing area of research in mathematical sciences, and the goal of this paper is to survey some of the recent developments and notable accomplishments of the field, focusing on both pure results and applications with a view towards computer science and cryptography. See [321] for a book on additive combinatorics, [237, 238] for two books on additive number theory, and [330, 339] for two surveys on additive 1 combinatorics.

  • Quantitative Results in Arithmetic Combinatorics
    Quantitative results in arithmetic combinatorics Thomas F. Bloom A dissertation submitted to the University of Bristol in accordance with the requirements for award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Science. School of Mathematics July 2014 ABSTRACT In this thesis we study the generalisation of Roth’s theorem on three term arithmetic progressions to arbitrary discrete abelian groups and translation invariant linear equations. We prove a new structural result concerning sets of large Fourier coefficients and use this to prove new quantitative bounds on the size of finite sets which contain only trivial solutions to a given translation invariant linear equation. In particular, we obtain a quantitative improvement for Roth’s theorem on three term arithmetic progressions and its analogue over Fq[t], the ring of polynomials in t with coefficients in a finite field Fq. We prove arithmetic inverse results for Fq[t] which characterise finite sets A such that |A + t · A| / |A| is small. In particular, when |A + A| |A| we prove a quantitatively optimal result, which is the Fq[t]-analogue of the Polynomial Freiman-Ruzsa conjecture in the integers. In joint work with Timothy G. F. Jones we prove new sum-product estimates for finite subsets of Fq[t], and more generally for any local fields, such as Qp. We give an application of these estimates to exponential sums. i To Hobbes, who had better things to think about. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my supervisor Professor Trevor Wooley, who has been a constant source of support, advice, and inspiration.

  • Dolbeault Cohomology of Nilmanifolds with Left-Invariant Complex Structure
    DOLBEAULT COHOMOLOGY OF NILMANIFOLDS WITH LEFT-INVARIANT COMPLEX STRUCTURE SONKE¨ ROLLENSKE Abstract. We discuss the known evidence for the conjecture that the Dol- beault cohomology of nilmanifolds with left-invariant complex structure can be computed as Lie-algebra cohomology and also mention some applications. 1. Introduction Dolbeault cohomology is one of the most fundamental holomorphic invariants of a compact complex manifold X but in general it is quite hard to compute. If X is a compact K¨ahler manifold, then this amounts to describing the decomposition of the de Rham cohomology Hk (X, C)= Hp,q(X)= Hq(X, Ωp ) dR M M X p+q=k p+q=k but in general there is only a spectral sequence connecting these invariants. One case where at least de Rham cohomology is easily computable is the case of nilmanifolds, that is, compact quotients of real nilpotent Lie groups. If M =Γ\G is a nilmanifold and g is the associated nilpotent Lie algebra Nomizu proved that we have a natural isomorphism ∗ ∗ H (g, R) =∼ HdR(M, R) where the left hand side is the Lie-algebra cohomology of g. In other words, com- puting the cohomology of M has become a matter of linear algebra There is a natural way to endow an even-dimensional nilmanifold with an almost complex structure: choose any endomorphism J : g → g with J 2 = − Id and extend it to an endomorphism of T G, also denoted by J, by left-multiplication. Then J is invariant under the action of Γ and descends to an almost complex structure on M.

  • Arithmetic Combinatorics, Gowers Norms, and Nilspaces
    Arithmetic combinatorics, Gowers norms, and nilspaces Pablo Candela (UAM, ICMAT) JAE School 2019, ICMAT 1 / 47 Introduction A central theme in arithmetic combinatorics is the study of the occurrence of combinatorial structures in subsets of abelian groups, under assumptions on the subsets that are typically quite weak. A major result in this theme: Theorem (Szemer´edi,1975 [9]) For every positive integer k and every α > 0 there exists N0 > 0 such that the following holds. For every integer N > N0, every subset A ⊂ [N] of cardinality at least αN contains an arithmetic progression of length k. Here [N] = f1; 2;:::; Ng ⊂ Z, the combinatorial structures in question are arithmetic progressions of length k (or k-APs), and the assumption on A is just that it has density jAj=N at least α in [N] (for N large enough). It is helpful to rephrase this central result in terms of counting k-APs in A. Notation: given a finite set X and f : X ! C, we define the average of f 1 P on X by Ex2X f (x) = jX j x2X f (x) . Given A ⊂ X we write 1A for the indicator function of A. (1A(x) = 1 for x 2 A and 0 otherwise.) E.g. for A ⊂ [N], Ex2[N]1A(x) is simply jAj=N, the density of A in [N] (also denoted sometimes by P(A)). 2 / 47 An equivalent formulation of Szemer´edi'stheorem If A ⊂ ZN = Z=NZ, we can express the count of k-APs in A in a norma- lized form (i.e.
