A Kakeya set $S subset (mathbb{Z}/Nmathbb{Z})^n$ is a set containing a line in each direction. We show that, when $N$ is any square-free integer, the size of the smallest Kakeya set in $(mathbb{Z}/Nmathbb{Z})^n$ is at least $C_{n,epsilon} N^{n - epsilon}$ for any $epsilon$ -- resolving a special case of a conjecture of Hickman and Wright. Previously, such bounds were only known for the case of prime $N$. We also show that the case of general $N$ can be reduced to lower bounding the $mathbb{F}_p$ rank of the incidence matrix of points and hyperplanes over $(mathbb{Z}/p^kmathbb{Z})^n$.
A Nikodym set $mathcal{N}subseteq(mathbb{Z}/(Nmathbb{Z}))^n$ is a set containing $Lsetminus{x}$ for every $xin(mathbb{Z}/(Nmathbb{Z}))^n$, where $L$ is a line passing through $x$. We prove that if $N$ is square-free, then the size of every Nikodym se
The commuting graph of a group G, denoted by Gamma(G), is the simple undirected graph whose vertices are the non-central elements of G and two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if they commute. Let Z_m be the commutative ring of equivalence
An integral coefficient matrix determines an integral arrangement of hyperplanes in R^m. After modulo q reduction, the same matrix determines an arrangement A_q of hyperplanes in Z^m. In the special case of central arrangements, Kamiya, Takemura and
We study central hyperplane arrangements with integral coefficients modulo positive integers $q$. We prove that the cardinality of the complement of the hyperplanes is a quasi-polynomial in two ways, first via the theory of elementary divisors and th
A typical decomposition question asks whether the edges of some graph $G$ can be partitioned into disjoint copies of another graph $H$. One of the oldest and best known conjectures in this area, posed by Ringel in 1963, concerns the decomposition of
