Abstract We obtain an effective analytic formula, with explicit constants, for the number of distinct irreducible factors of a polynomial $f \in \mathbb {Z}[x]$ . We use an explicit version of Mertens’ theorem for number fields to estimate a related sum over rational primes. For a given $f \in \mathbb {Z}[x]$ , our result yields a finite list of primes that certifies the number of distinct irreducible factors of f.

Abstract In this paper we study the existence of higher dimensional arithmetic progressions in Meyer sets. We show that the case when the ratios are linearly dependent over ${\mathbb Z}$ is trivial and focus on arithmetic progressions for which the ratios are linearly independent. Given a Meyer set $\Lambda $ and a fully Euclidean model set with the property that finitely many translates of cover $\Lambda $ , we prove that we can find higher dimensional arithmetic progressions of arbitrary length with k linearly independent ratios in $\Lambda $ if and only if k is at most the rank of the ${\mathbb Z}$ -module generated by . We use this result to characterize the Meyer sets that are subsets of fully Euclidean model sets.

Abstract In this paper we study the small-scale equidistribution property of random waves whose coefficients are determined by an unfair coin. That is, the coefficients take value $+1$ with probability p and $-1$ with probability $1-p$ . Random waves whose coefficients are associated with a fair coin are known to equidistribute down to the wavelength scale. We obtain explicit requirements on the deviation from the fair ( $p=0.5$ ) coin to retain equidistribution.

Abstract Gabardo and Nashed [‘Nonuniform multiresolution analyses and spectral pairs’, J. Funct. Anal.158(1) (1998), 209–241] have introduced the concept of nonuniform multiresolution analysis (NUMRA), based on the theory of spectral pairs, in which the associated translated set $\Lambda =\{0,{r}/{N}\}+2\mathbb Z$ is not necessarily a discrete subgroup of $\mathbb{R}$ , and the translation factor is $2\textrm{N}$ . Here r is an odd integer with $1\leq r\leq 2N-1$ such that r and N are relatively prime. The nonuniform wavelets associated with NUMRA can be used in signal processing, sampling theory, speech recognition and various other areas, where instead of integer shifts nonuniform shifts are needed. In order to further generalize this useful NUMRA, we consider the set $\widetilde {\Lambda }=\{0,{r_1}/{N},{r_2}/{N},\ldots ,{r_q}/{N}\}+s\mathbb Z$ , where s is an even integer, $q\in \mathbb {N}$ , $r_i$ is an integer such that $1\leq r_i\leq sN-1,\,(r_i,N)=1$ for all i and $N\geq 2$ . In this paper, we prove that the concept of NUMRA with the translation set $\widetilde {\Lambda }$ is possible only if $\widetilde {\Lambda }$ is of the form $\{0,{r}/{N}\}+s\mathbb Z$ . Next we introduce $\Lambda _s$ -nonuniform multiresolution analysis ( $\Lambda _s$ -NUMRA) for which the translation set is $\Lambda _s=\{0,{r}/{N}\}+s\mathbb Z$ and the dilation factor is $sN$ , where s is an even integer. Also, we characterize the scaling functions associated with $\Lambda _s$ -NUMRA and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for wavelet filters associated with $\Lambda _s$ -NUMRA.

Abstract We show that, given a compact minimal system $(X,g)$ and an element h of the topological full group $\tau [g]$ of g, the infinite orbits of h admit a locally constant orientation with respect to the orbits of g. We use this to obtain a clopen partition of $(X,G)$ into minimal and periodic parts, where G is any virtually polycyclic subgroup of $\tau [g]$ . We also use the orientation of orbits to give a refinement of the index map and to describe the role in $\tau [g]$ of the submonoid generated by the induced transformations of g. Finally, we consider the problem, given a homeomorphism h of the Cantor space X, of determining whether or not there exists a minimal homeomorphism g of X such that $h \in \tau [g]$ .
