A weighted entropy approach for the quadratic inverse large sieve conjecture

Ernie Croot, Chi Hoi Yip

The quadratic inverse large sieve problem predicts that the examples sharp at the square-root threshold are essentially quadratic. Hanson proved the first unconditional result in t…

A combinatorial large sieve for Sidon sets, distances, and norm forms

Ernie Croot, Junzhe Mao, Cosmin Pohoata +2

We develop a new combinatorial large sieve method for sets with bounded algebraic multiplicities. The method exploits algebraic splitting modulo many small primes: local congruence…

The Frankl-Pach upper bound is not tight for any uniformity

Gennian Ge, Zixiang Xu, Chi Hoi Yip +2

For any positive integers , what is the maximum size of a -uniform set system in with VC-dimension at most ? In 1984, Frankl and Pach initiated the s…

An Erdős-Ko-Rado theorem for binary codes

Shamil Asgarli, Chi Hoi Yip

We study intersecting families of words from the Erdős-Ko-Rado perspective. When the alphabet size is , a maximum intersecting family is not necessarily a star. However, we pro…

Hilbert cubes in sets with arithmetic properties

Ernie Croot, Junzhe Mao, Chi Hoi Yip

In this paper, we introduce new general frameworks for estimating the maximal dimension of Hilbert cubes contained in finite truncations of arbitrary sets. As applications, we inve…

Diophantine tuples and product sets in shifted powers

Ernie Croot, Chi Hoi Yip

Let and . A Diophantine tuple with property is a set of positive integers such that is a -th power for all with . Such…
