A new approach to constant term identities and Selberg-type integrals

Selberg-type integrals that can be turned into constant term identities for Laurent polynomials arise naturally in conjunction with random matrix models in statistical mechanics. Built on a recent idea of Karasev and Petrov we develop a general interpolation based method that is powerful enough to establish many such identities in a simple manner. The main consequence is the proof of a conjecture of Forrester related to the Calogero–Sutherland model. In fact we prove a more general theorem, which includes Aomoto's constant term identity at the same time. We also demonstrate the relevance of the method in additive combinatorics.     

On the discrepancy of uniformly distributed roots of quadratic congruences

In this paper we consider the distribution of fractional parts {ν/p}, where p is a prime less than or equal to x and ν is the root in Z/pZ of a quadratic polynomial with negative discriminant. This set is known to be uniformly distributed as x→∞. Here we apply the Erd?s-Turán inequality to obtain an estimate for the discrepancy.     

On generalized Erd?s spaces

During the last years both Erd?s space and complete Erd?s space were topologically characterized by Dijkstra and van Mill. Applications include results about Erd?s type spaces in ?p-spaces as well as results about Polishable ideals on ω. We present an unifying theorem in terms of sets with a reflexive relation that among other things contains these apparently dissimilar results as special cases.     

On the local and asymptotic behavior of Brownian motion on simply connected nilpotent Lie groups

The aim of this paper is to study the local and asymptotic behavior of Brownian motion on simply connected nilpotent Lie groups. We carry over a qualitative version of the Erdös-Rényi law of large numbers for Brownian motion to simply connected step 2-nilpotent Lie groups. The method applied gives rise to a proof for qualitative results concerning the modulus of continuity of Brownian motion on simply connected step 3-resp. step 2-nilpotent Lie groups without using the Ventsel-Freidlin theory as in Baldi.     

A conjecture of Erd?s on graph Ramsey numbers

The Ramsey number r(G) of a graph G is the minimum N such that every red–blue coloring of the edges of the complete graph on N vertices contains a monochromatic copy of G. Determining or estimating these numbers is one of the central problems in combinatorics.One of the oldest results in Ramsey Theory, proved by Erd?s and Szekeres in 1935, asserts that the Ramsey number of the complete graph with m edges is at most . Motivated by this estimate Erd?s conjectured, more than a quarter century ago, that there is an absolute constant c such that for any graph G with m edges and no isolated vertices. In this short note we prove this conjecture.

A counterexample concerning line-free groups and complete Erdos space

We present a weakly closed, one-dimensional, line-free subgroup of the separable Banach space that is not homeomorphic to complete Erdos space. The existence of this example disproves a conjecture of Dobrowolski, Grabowski, and Kawamura.
