We study the moduli stacks of real vector bundles of fixed rank and degree on a type I real algebraic curve and determine its mod 2 cohomology algebra in terms of characteristic classes.

The crystalline differential operators on a smooth variety X give rise to a non-split Azumaya algebra over the cotangent bundle of the Frobenius twist X'. In some cases, this Azumaya algebra splits when restricted to finite covers of X'. In…

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) formulate the solution of partial differential equations as residual minimization problems over neural network parameterizations. Although highly flexible, optimization of PINNs using modern variants…

We prove an inversion theorem for recursive formulas satisfied by certain families of converging power series in two variables. These power series are indexed by the Harder-Narasimhan types of principal $G$-bundles of degree $d \in \pi_1 G$…

Given a matrix $A$, a matrix nearness problem seeks an $X$ that most closely approximates $A$ in the sense of minimizing $\lVert A - X\rVert$ under a variety of constraints on $X$. A generalized matrix nearness problem seeks the same but…

We consider the numerical solution of partial differential equations with coefficients that are strongly heterogeneous in space. We provide an overview of higher-order localized orthogonal decomposition (LOD) methods for the elliptic…

In this note, we give short proofs of three theorems concerning extremal problems in the Johnson scheme, or, in other terminology, on $(n,k,L)$-systems. The main result is a proof of the Aljohani--Bamberg--Cameron conjecture which claims…

We show that any big line bundle on a smooth projective variety admits a special Fujita approximation: the volume and the first Riemann-Roch coefficient are both approximated by those of ample $\mathbb{Q}$-line bundles on higher models.…

A novel mixed spectral-Galerkin method based on generalized ball polynomials is proposed for solving the biharmonic equation on a unit ball. By introducing an auxiliary variable to decouple the biharmonic equation into a system of…

All reduced descendent Gromov-Witten invariants of $K3$ and abelian surfaces in primitive curve classes can be calculated by the methods of \cite{BOPY,MPT}. To handle the imprimitive curve classes, a multiple cover formula was conjectured…

Developing high-order numerical schemes for two-phase flow in porous media that preserve key physical properties remains a significant challenge in numerical analysis. In this article, we propose a general framework to construct fully…

Let $X$ be a proper smooth rigid analytic variety over a complete algebraically closed field $p$-adic field $\mathbf C$. Fix an continuation $\mathrm{Exp}$. Faltings (in the curve case) and Heuer showed that any lifting $\widetilde X$ of…

We extend the notion of mex, which is central in combinatorial number theory, to an arbitrary combinatorial structure, and we prove a general theorem to determine the generating function of the objects having fixed mex. We then study this…

We consider Subtraction Nim, where two players have exactly the same options, but which is partizan in the sense that at the game ending, a partizan rule is applied for the decision of the winner. We consider the following example: Let $S$…

We study a question of Harju from 2019 regarding the existence of infinite ternary square-free words whose subsequences modulo $p$ and $q$ are also square-free for relatively prime integers $p$ and $q$. Among such pairs $(p, q)$ with $p, q…

We introduce variants of the Maker-Breaker and Waiter-Client games, which we call \emph{stotting}, in which a player grants a slight advantage to the opponent. We prove that a winning strategy in either stotting variant yields winning…

Given $m \in \mathbb{N}$ and a $p$-random subset $A \subseteq \mathbb{N}$, we asymptotically determine $\log \Pr(|\mathbb{N} \setminus (A + A)| \ge m)$ for $p$ above the threshold for this property. The proof is based on a bespoke container…

Let $G_1$ denote the incidence graph of the complete graph $K_{q+1}$. We study limited augmented Zarankiewicz numbers in this family by combining exact 0--1 ILP computations for the smallest cases with a constructive search procedure…

We derive the local and central limit theorems for the Stirling numbers of the second kind by elementary means, obtaining as corollaries effective asymptotic estimates for the Bell numbers and for the moments of the distribution. We also…

In this paper, we study plane quintic curves whose automorphism groups have order greater than 10, as well as those with cyclic automorphism groups of order 8 and 10. The latter two cases are represented as one-parameter families, where…
