For infinitely many $d$, Hassett showed that special cubic fourfolds of discriminant $d$ are related to polarized K3 surfaces of degree $d$ via their Hodge structures. For half of the $d$, each associated K3 surface $(S,L)$ canonically…

We lay the geometric foundations for the study of the characteristic polynomial of tensors. For symmetric tensors of order $d \geq 3$ and dimension $2$ and symmetric tensors of order $3$ and dimension $3$, we prove that only finitely many…

We give non-symmetric versions of the Cauchy kernel and Littlewood's kernels, corresponding to the types $A_n$, $B_n$, $C_n$ and $D_n$, of the classical groups. We show that these new kernels are diagonal in the basis of two families of key…

In this paper we prove that, if $\mathbb{k}$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from 2, almost all quadratic standard graded $\mathbb{k}$-algebras $R$ such that $\dim_{\mathbb{k}}R_2 = 3$ are Koszul. More…

In this article, the authors establish the wavelet characterization of Besov and Triebel--Lizorkin spaces on a given space $(X,d,\mu)$ of homogeneous type in the sense of Coifman and Weiss. Moreover, the authors introduce almost diagonal…

Pairwise disjoint 3-GDDs can be used to construct some optimal constant-weight codes. We study the existence of a pair of disjoint 3-GDDs of type $g^t u^1$ and establish that its necessary conditions are also sufficient.

Let $V$ denote a vector space with finite positive dimension, and let $(A,B)$ denote a Leonard pair on $V$. As is known, the linear transformations $A,B$ satisfy the Askey-Wilson relations A^2B -bABA +BA^2 -g(AB+BA) -rB = hA^2 +wA +eI, B^2A…

We establish homological stability for automorphisms of symmetric bilinear forms over a class of principal ideal domains that includes all fields, the integers, the Gaussian integers, and the Eisenstein integers. In conjunction with…

A new interpretation and applications of the ``Diophantine'' and factorisation properties of {\em finite} orthogonal polynomials in the Askey scheme are explored. The corresponding twelve polynomials are the ($q$-)Racah, (dual, $q$-)Hahn,…

We show that certain integral positive definite symmetric tridiagonal matrices of determinant $n$ are in one to one correspondence with elements of $(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)^*$. We study some properties of this correspondence. In a somewhat…

We present noncommutative nonlinear supersymmetric theories. The first example is a non-polynomial Akulov-Volkov-type lagrangian with noncommutative nonlinear global supersymmetry in arbitrary space-time dimensions. The second example is…

Let $V$ denote a vector space with finite positive dimension. We consider a pair of linear transformations $A : V \to V$ and $A^* : V \to V$ that satisfy (i) and (ii) below: (i) There exists a basis for $V$ with respect to which the matrix…

Let $(W,S)$ be an arbitrary Coxeter system. We introduce a family of polynomials, $\{ \tilde{\mathcal{R}}_{u,\underline{v}}(t)\}$, indexed by pairs $(u,\underline{v})$ formed by an element $u\in W$ and a (non-necessarily reduced) word…

Let K be a field of characteristic different from 2 and let V be a vector space of dimension n over K. Let M be a non-zero subspace of symmetric bilinear forms defined on V x V and let r=rank(M) denote the set of different positive integers…

We study the super analogue of the Molev-Ragoucy reflection algebras, which we call twisted super Yangians of type AIII, and classify their finite-dimensional irreducible representations under certain conditions. These superalgebras are…

Krawtchouk's polynomials occur classically as orthogonal polynomials with respect to the binomial distribution. They may be also expressed in the form of matrices, that emerge as arrays of the values that the polynomials take. The algebraic…

In this paper we prove the Gromov--Milman conjecture (the Dvoretzky type theorem) for homogeneous polynomials on $\mathbb R^n$, and improve bounds on the number $n(d,k)$ in the analogous conjecture for odd degrees $d$ (this case is known as…

A $(v,k,\lambda)$-covering is a pair $(V, \mathcal{B})$, where $V$ is a $v$-set of points and $\mathcal{B}$ is a collection of $k$-subsets of $V$ (called blocks), such that every unordered pair of points in $V$ is contained in at least…

A Formal Orthogonal Pair is a pair $(A,B)$ of symbolic rectangular matrices such that $AB^T=0$. It can be applied for the construction of Hadamard and Weighing matrices. In this paper we introduce a systematic way for constructing such…

We generalize Atsuyama's result on the geometry of symmetric spaces of type EVI to the case of arbitrary field of characteristic zero. We relate the possible mutual positions of two points with the classification of balanced symplectic…
