In this paper, various Homological Conjectures are studied for local rings which are locally finitely generated over a discrete valuation ring $V$ of mixed characteristic. Typically, we can only conclude that a particular Conjecture holds…
Let S be a smooth projective surface, and consider the following two subvarieties of the Hilbert scheme parameterizing closed subschemes of S of length n: A = {subschemes with support in a fixed point of S} B = {subschemes with support in…
Let G be a Frobenius group with the Frobenius kernel N. Applying character theory, G. Frobenius proved that N was a normal subgroup of G in the year 1901. This is a celebrated application of the character theory of finite groups. In this…
A local ring R is said to be a Roberts ring if tau_R([R]) = [Spec R]_dim R, where tau_R is the Riemann-Roch map for Spec R. Such rings satisfy a vanishing theorem for the Serre intersection multiplicity, as was established by Paul Roberts…
In 2013, Adams introduced the $n$-crossing number of a knot $K$, denoted by $c_n(K)$. Inequalities between the $2$-, $3$-, $4$-, and $5$-crossing numbers have been previously established. We prove $c_9(K)\leq c_3(K)-2$ for all knots $K$…
The Erd\H{o}s--Ko--Rado theorem is extended to designs in semilattices with certain conditions. As an application, we show the intersection theorems for the Hamming schemes, the Johnson schemes, bilinear forms schemes, Grassmann schemes,…
The celebrated theorem of Ahlswede and Khachatrian determines the maximum size of a family of $k$-element subsets of an $n$-element set where the intersection of any two subsets has at least $r$ elements. This survey first gives a…
In 1969, Roberts introduced proper and unit interval graphs and proved that these classes are equal. Natural generalizations of unit interval graphs called $k$-length interval graphs were considered in which the number of different lengths…
On a smooth variety, Serre's intersection formula computes intersection multiplicities via an alternating sum of the lengths of Tor groups. When the variety is singular, the corresponding sum can be a divergent series. But there are…
Given subvarieties $X, Y$ of a complex algebraic variety $S$ of complementary dimension, must they intersect? When $S$ is projective space, this is a consequence of the classical B\'ezout theorem, and an analogue for simple abelian…
In his preprint ``Differential-Geometric Characterizations of Complete Intersections'' (alg-geom/9407002), J.M.Landsberg introduces an elementary characterization of complete intersections. The proof of this criterion uses the method of…
We isolate conditions on the relative size of sets of natural numbers $A,B$ that guarantee a nonempty intersection $\Delta(A)\cap\Delta(B)\ne\emptyset$ of the corresponding sets of distances. Such conditions apply to a large class of zero…
We give a succinct proof of a duality theorem obtained by R\'ev\'esz in 1991 which concerns extremal quantities related to trigonomertic polynomials. The key tool of our new proof is an intersection formula on dual cones in real Banach…
A brief review of the development of Chern-Simons gauge theory since its relation to knot theory was discovered in 1988 is presented. The presentation is done guided by a dictionary which relates knot theory concepts to quantum field theory…
Two main approaches in simultaneous inference are intersection-union tests and union-intersection tests. For intersection-union hypotheses, the classical IUT based on marginal p-values and the all-in-alternative UIT are compared. Depending…
We offer a short proof of Connes' Hochschild class of the Chern character formula for non-unital semifinite spectral triples. The proof is simple due to its reliance on the authors' extensive work on a refined version of the local index…
It has been folklore for several years in the knot theory community that certain integrals on configuration space, originally motivated by perturbation theory for the Chern-Simons field theory, converge and yield knot invariants. This was…
We explain intersection multiplicity defined by J. P. Serre, in terms of the Poincare product in Hodge theory by a modification of the chern character map. We also discuss a formulation of the Euler characteristic via the action of…
In the late 1980s Witten used the Chern-Simons form of a connection to construct new invariants of 3-manifolds and knots, recovering in particular the Jones invariants. Since then the associated topological quantum field theory (TQFT) has…
A subset $Y$ of the general linear group $\operatorname{GL}(n,q)$ is called $t$-intersecting if $\operatorname{rk}(x-y)\le n-t$ for all $x,y\in Y$, or equivalently $x$ and $y$ agree pointwise on a $t$-dimensional subspace of…
