Small Gál sums and applications
No full textIn recent years, maximizing Gál sums regained interest due to a firm link with large values of (Formula presented.) -functions. In the present paper, we initiate an investigation of small sums of Gál type, with respect to the (Formula presented.) -norm. We also consider the intertwined question of minimizing weighted versions of the usual multiplicative energy. We apply our estimates to: (i) a logarithmic refinement of Burgess' bound on character sums, improving previous results of Kerr, Shparlinski and Yau; (ii) an improvement on earlier lower bounds by Louboutin and the second author for the number of nonvanishing theta functions associated to Dirichlet characters; and (iii) new lower bounds for low moments of character sums
The Real World of Power Sector Regulation
No full textMore than twenty countries are now
reforming their power sectors. For many politicians, this
reform means simply restructuring and privatizing
state-owned enterprises. But, what they forget or may not
know is that a government cannot regulate private power
companies the way it once regulated state enterprises. The
author argues that if a government is serious about
attracting private investors, it has no choice but to adopt
a new regulatory system that keeps promises and exercises
restraint-one that is independent and open to public scrutiny

Szymon Solarski, <i>Cancellation of a Donation</i>, Warsaw 2020, 278 p. - review
No full textThe subject of the review is S. Solarski’s book ‘Revocation of a donation’. The layout together with some theses presented by the author were analysed. Despite the shared view of the inadmissibility of donation’s revocation after the recipient’s death, a polemic was presented against the argument proposed by the author. It was agreed that the donation is not qualified as a causal act but the view that a donation should be considered a double effect agreement, as it allegedly leads to encumbrance of the ownership of the donated item with the right to revoke the donation due to gross ingratitude, was criticized. The review also disagrees with the opinion that requirement for the effectiveness of a donation is the existence of an animus donandi, that an unpaid pension is a donation, as well as de lege ferenda idea of introduction the ordinary written form as the principal form for the donor’s will, postulate to change art. 899 § 1 of the Civil Code, or the grant of a claim against the recipient for the provision of means enabling the implementation or supplementation of statutory maintenance obligations imposed on the donor also to persons entitled to maintenance by the donor
