Consider the congruence class Rm(a) = {a + im : i ∈ Z} and the infinite arithmetic progression Pm(a) = {a + im : i ∈ N0}. For positive integers a,b,c,d,m the sum of products set Rm(a)Rm(b) + Rm(c)Rm(d) consists of all integers of the form (a+im) · (b+jm)+(c+km)(d+ℓm) for some i,j,k,ℓ ∈ Z. It is proved that if gcd (a,b,c,d,m) = 1, then Rm(a)Rm(b) + Rm(c)Rm(d) is equal to the congruence class Rm(ab+cd), and that the sum of products set Pm(a)Pm(b)+Pm(c)Pm eventually coincides with the infinite arithmetic progression Pm(ab+cd).

AbstractLet V be an absolutely irreducible affine variety over $\mathbb{F}_p$. A Lehmer point on V is a point whose coordinates satisfy some prescribed congruence conditions, and a visible point is one whose coordinates are relatively prime. Asymptotic results for the number of Lehmer points and visible points on V are obtained, and the distribution of visible points into different congruence classes is investigated.

AbstractThe congruences of a finite sectionally complemented lattice L are not necessarily uniform (any two congruence classes of a congruence are of the same size). To measure how far a congruence Θ of L is from being uniform, we introduce Spec Θ, the spectrum of Θ, the family of cardinalities of the congruence classes of Θ. A typical result of this paper characterizes the spectrum S = (mj | j < n) of a nontrivial congruence Θ with the following two properties:

Diversification rates inferred from phylogenies are not identifiable. There are infinitely many combinations of speciation and extinction rate functions that have the exact same likelihood score for a given phylogeny, building a congruence class. The specific shape and characteristics of such congruence classes have not yet been studied. Whether speciation and extinction rate functions within a congruence class share common features is also not known. Instead of striving to make the diversification rates identifiable, we can embrace their inherent non-identifiable nature. We use two different approaches to explore a congruence class: (i) testing of specific alternative hypotheses, and (ii) randomly sampling alternative rate function within the congruence class. Our methods are implemented in the open-source R package ACDC (https://github.com/afmagee/ACDC). ACDC provides a flexible approach to explore the congruence class and provides summaries of rate functions within a congruence class. The summaries can highlight common trends, i.e. increasing, flat or decreasing rates. Although there are infinitely many equally likely diversification rate functions, these can share common features. ACDC can be used to assess if diversification rate patterns are robust despite non-identifiability. In our example, we clearly identify three phases of diversification rate changes that are common among all models in the congruence class. Thus, congruence classes are not necessarily a problem for studying historical patterns of biodiversity from phylogenies.

Let Fn be the free group on {ai:i ∊ ℤ n} where the set of congruence classes mod n is used as an index set for the generators. The permutation (1, 2, 3, …, n) of ℤn induces an automorphism θ of Fn by permuting the subscripts of the generators. Suppose w is a word in Fn and let N(w) denote the normal closure of {wθi-1:l ≤i≤n}. Define the group Gn(w) by Gn(w)=Fn/N(w) and call wdi-1=l the relation (i) of Gn(w).

AbstractThis paper, resulting from two summer programs of Research Experience for Undergraduates, examines the congruence classes of binomial coefficients to a prime square modulus as given by a fractal generation process for lattice path counts. The process depends on the isomorphism of partial semigroup structures associated with each iteration. We also consider integrality properties of certain critical coefficients that arise in the generation process. Generalizing the application of these coefficients to arbitrary arguments, instead of just to the prime arguments appearing in their original function, it transpires that integrality of the coefficients is indicative of the primality of the argument.

AbstractA variant of Kurosh-Amitsur radical theory is developed for algebras with a collection of (finitary) operations ω, all of which are idempotent, that is satisfy the condition ω(x, x,…,x) =x. In such algebras, all classes of any congruence are subalgebras. In place of a largest normal radical subobject, a largest congruence with radical congruence classes is considered. In congruence-permutable varieties the parallels with conventional radical theory are most striking.
