Abstract

Let $\mathbb{N}_0=\{0,1,2,\ldots\}$ and let $h\ge2$ be an integer. For a set $A\subseteq\mathbb{N}_0$, write $hA$ for the set of all sums of $h$, not necessarily distinct, elements of $A$. In this paper, we prove that for every $h\ge2$, there is a partition $\mathbb{N}_0=A\sqcup B$ such that $A$ is a minimal asymptotic basis of order $h$ and $B$ is a maximal asymptotic nonbasis of order $h$. This solves an open problem posed by Nathanson in 1974.

On Buzzard's Theoren

Over any infinite field we prove existence of polynomial automorphism with prescribed differentials at points. More precisely, let $\K$ be an infinite field and $a_1,\ldots, a_k;$ $b_1,\ldots , b_k$ be two sequences of different points in~$\K^n$, $n\ge 2$. For any sequence $L_1,\ldots, L_k\in SL(n,\K)$ there exists a p...

Asymptotic Formula for Biregular Overpartitions

Let $\bar{p}_{s,t}(N)$ be the number of overpartitions of $N$ into parts that are not divisible by $s$ or $t$. In this paper, we obtain asymptotic formulas for $\bar{p}_{s,t}(N)$ for relatively prime integers $s>t\ge 10$ via the saddle-point method. Our results cover different ranges of the parameters $s$ and $t$ relat...

Kolyvagin's conjecture at non-ordinary primes

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field and let $p \ge 5$ be a prime that is unramified in $K$. Let $\mathcal{A}_f/\mathbb{Q}$ be an abelian variety of $\mathrm{GL}_2$-type associated with a weight-two modular form $f$, with good non-ordinary reduction at $p$, and suppose that $(f,K)$ satisfies the generalized Heegner...

Flattening and asymptotic orthogonalization of completely positive maps

Let $M$ be a $\mathrm{II}_1$ factor, $N$ a tracial von Neumann algebra, and $\Phi: M \rightarrow N$ a subtracial completely positive map. For an irreducible $\mathrm{II}_1$ subfactor $P \subseteq M$, we characterize when $\Phi$ exhibits a flattening property under conjugation by unitaries in $P$. To be specific, we sho...

A generalized Terao Conjecture for line arrangements

For a line arrangement $\mathcal{A} \colon f=0$ in $\mathbb{P}^2$, let $\nu(\mathcal{A})$ be the maximal dimension of a graded piece of the Jacobian module of $f$. We study the conjecture that $\nu(\mathcal{A})$ depends only on the intersection lattice of $\mathcal{A}$. It is known that $\mathcal{A}$ is free if and onl...

Wedges, Rational completion and $\mathbb Q$-bad spaces

Let $A$ and $X$ be connected based CW complexes with $H_1(A;\mathbb Q)\neq 0$, and let $m\geq 1$ be the least degree with $\widetilde H_m(X;\mathbb Q)\neq0$. We prove that the Bousfield--Kan rational completion map of $A\vee X$ induces a map on $H_{2m}(-;\mathbb Q)$ whose cokernel has dimension at least $2^{\aleph_0}$....
