SLMath Talks by Lim Jeck

February 3rd, 2025

March 19th, 2025 (09:30 am to 10:30 am)
Abstract:
Given a real number λ and a finite set A of real numbers, how small can the size of the sum of dilate A + λ.A be in terms of |A|? If λ is transcendental, then |A + λ.A| grows superlinearly in |A|, whereas if λ is algebraic, then |A + λ.A| only grows linearly in |A|. There have been several works in recent years to prove optimal linear bounds in the algebraic case, but tight bounds were only known when λ is an algebraic integer or of the form (p/q)^{1/d}.

In this talk, we prove tight bounds for sums of arbitrarily many algebraic dilates |A + λ1.A + ... + λk.A|. We will discuss the main tools used in the proof, which include a Frieman-type structure theorem for sets with small sums of dilates, and a high-dimensional notion of density which we call "lattice density". Joint work with David Conlon.

Postdoc


PhD: expected to be completed in Jun 2025

A postdoc (or "post-doc," "postdoctoral," or "postdoctoral research") fellowship is a training-focused position available to people who have earned a doctorate. Postdoc positions usually act as a stepping-stone between the student experience and the full-time professional experience.

Postdoc: expected to begin in Sep/Oct 2025
University of Oxford, UK, 2025 to 2026, Prof Mentor: Peter Keevash
University of Bonn, Germany, 2026 to 2028, Prof Mentor: Lisa Sauermann
