Considering $n\times n\times n$ stochastic tensors $(a_{ijk})$ (i.e., nonnegative hypermatrices in which every sum over one index $i$, $j$, or $k$, is 1), we study the polytope ($\Omega_{n}$) of all these tensors, the convex set ($L_n$) of…
We survey the definitions and some important properties of several asymptotic invariants of smooth manifolds, and discuss some open questions related to them. We prove that the (non-)vanishing of the minimal volume is a differentiable…
Three-dimensional random tensor models are a natural generalization of the celebrated matrix models. The associated tensor graphs, or 3D maps, can be classified with respect to a particular integer or half-integer, the degree of the…
Information on su(N) tensor product multiplicities is neatly encoded in Berenstein-Zelevinsky triangles. Here we study a generalisation of these triangles by allowing negative as well as non-negative integer entries. For a fixed triple…
We evaluate the asymptotic size of various sums of G\'al type, in particular $$S( \mathcal{M}):=\sum_{m,n\in\mathcal{M}} \sqrt{(m,n) \over [m,n]},$$ where $\mathcal{M}$ is a finite set of integers. Elaborating on methods recently developed…
The collection of all $n$-point metric spaces of diameter $\le 1$ constitutes a polytope $\mathcal{M}_n \subset \mathbb{R}^{\binom{n}{2}}$, called the \emph{Metric Polytope}. In this paper, we consider the best approximations of…
The geometry of the Birkhoff polytope, i.e., the compact convex set of all $n \times n$ doubly stochastic matrices, has been an active subject of research. While its faces, edges and facets as well as its volume have been intensely studied,…
Let $X,Y$ be two finite sets of points having $\#X = m$ and $\#Y = n$ points with $\mu = (1/m) \sum_{i=1}^{m} \delta_{x_i}$ and $\nu = (1/n) \sum_{j=1}^{n} \delta_{y_j}$ being the associated uniform probability measures. A result of…
This note is a comment to the paper by D.R.Heath-Brown and B.Z.Moroz (Math Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc. 125 (1999)). That paper concerns with the projective surface $S$ in $\mathbb{P}^{3}$ defined by the equation $x_{1}x_{2}x_{3}=x_{4}^{3}$. It…
I present an asymptotic formula for the Takeuchi numbers $T_n$. In particular, I give compelling numerical evidence and present a heuristic argument showing that $$T_n\sim C_T B_n\exp{1\over2}{W(n)}^2$$as $n$ tends to infinity, where $B_n$…
Given an integer homology class of a finitely presentable group, the systolic volume quantifies how tight could be a geometric realization of this class. In this paper, we study various aspects of this numerical invariant showing that it is…
The asyptotic number of nonequivalent binary n-codes is determined. This is also the asymptotic number of nonisomorphic binary n-matroids. The connection to a result of Lefmann, Roedl, Phelps is explored. The latter states that almost all…
We study a refined version of the Linnik problem on the asymptotic behavior of the number of representations of integer $m$ by an integral polynomial as $m$ tends to infinity. We assume that the polynomial arises from invariant theory, and…
Let $((0,1], T)$ be the doubling map in the unit interval and $\varphi$ be the Saint-Petersburg potential, defined by $\varphi(x)=2^n$ if $x\in (2^{-n-1}, 2^{-n}]$ for all $n\geq 0$. We consider the asymptotic properties of the Birkhoff sum…
The density matrix for the impenetrable Bose gas in Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions can be written in terms of $<\prod_{l=1}^n| \cos\phi_1-\cos\theta_l| |\cos\phi_2-\cos\theta_l|>$, where the average is with respect to the…
The polynomial coefficient $\binom {n,q}{k}$ is defined to be the coefficient of $x^{k}$ in the expansion of $(1+x+x^2+... +x^{q-1})^n$. In this note we give an asymptotic estimate for $\binom {n,q}{cn}$ as $n$ tends to infinity, where $c$…
We investigate the growth rate of the Birkhoff sums $S_{n,\alpha} f(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{n-1} f(x+k\alpha)$, where $f$ is a continuous function with zero mean defined on the unit circle $\mathbb T$ and $(\alpha,x)$ is a "typical" element of…
We study solutions of three-term recurrence relations whose $N$-step transfer matrices belong to the uniform Stolz class. In particular, we derive the first order of their uniform asymptotics. For orthonormal polynomials we show more.…
The beta polytope $P_{n,d}^\beta$ is the convex hull of $n$ i.i.d. random points distributed in the unit ball of $\mathbb{R}^d$ according to a density proportional to $(1-\lVert{x}\rVert^2)^{\beta}$ if $\beta>-1$ (in particular, $\beta=0$…
