We propose a new, conjectural recursion solution for Hurwitz numbers at all genera. This conjecture is based on recent progress in solving type B topological string theory on the mirrors of toric Calabi-Yau manifolds, which we briefly…
Translation from the Latin of "Annotationes in locum quendam Cartesii ad circuli quadraturam spectantem" (1763). The passage Euler is referring to is the "Excerpta" in part 6, p. 6 of Descartes' 1701 "Opuscula posthuma". Before reading this…
In this article we study a small random perturbation of a linear recurrence equation. If all the roots of its corresponding characteristic equation have modulus strictly less than one, the random linear recurrence goes exponentially fast to…
A Lagrange Theorem in dimension 2 is proved, for a particular two-dimensional algorithm, with a very natural geometrical definition. Dirichlet-type properties for the convergence of the algorithm are also proved. These properties procced…
Seymour's celebrated second neighborhood conjecture, now more than thirty years old, states that in every oriented digraph, there is a vertex $u$ such that the size of its second out-neighborhood $N^{++}(u)$ is at least as large as that of…
We present a unified approach to extensions of Bourgain's Double Recurrence Theorem and Bourgain's Return Times Theorem to integer parts of the Kronecker sequence, emphasizing stopping times and metric entropy. Specifically, we prove the…
For any $\gamma<1/3$, we construct a nontrivial weak solution $u$ to the two-dimensional, incompressible Euler equations, which has compact support in time and satisfies $u\in C^\gamma(\mathbb R_t \times \mathbb T^2_x)$. In particular, the…
Associated to a newform $f(z)$ is a Dirichlet series $L_f(s)$ with functional equation and Euler product. Hecke showed that if the Dirichlet series $F(s)$ has a functional equation of a particular form, then $F(s)=L_f(s)$ for some…
Using Atiyah-Bott localization on the space of stable maps to the stack quotient $[\mathbb{P}^1/\mathbb{Z}_2]$, we find recursions that determine all Hodge integrals with descendent insertions at one marked point on the hyperelliptic locus…
This paper concerns the reconstruction of possibly complex-valued coefficients in a second-order scalar elliptic equation posed on a bounded domain from knowledge of several solutions of that equation. We show that for a sufficiently large…
A subset $R$ of integers is a set of Bohr recurrence if every rotation on $\mathbb{T}^d$ returns arbitrarily close to zero under some non-zero multiple of $R$. We show that the set $\{k!\, 2^m3^n\colon k,m,n\in \mathbb{N}\}$ is a set of…
Given any smooth solenoidal vector field $v_0$ on $\mathbf T^3$, we show the existence of infinitely many H\"older-continuous steady Euler flows $v$ with the same topology as $v_0$, in certain weak sense. In particular, we show that $v$…
Recently the authors and J.M. Kress presented a special function recurrence relation method to prove quantum superintegrability of an integrable 2D system that included explicit constructions of higher order symmetries and the structure…
We show that for every ergodic and aperiodic probability preserving system $(X,\mathcal{B},m,T)$, there exists $f:X\to \mathbb{Z}^d$, whose corresponding cocycle satisfies the $d$-dimensional local central limit theorem. We use the…
In this paper we prove that solutions of the 2D Euler equations in vorticity formulation obtained via vanishing viscosity approximation are renormalized.
The goal of this short paper to advertise the method of gauge transformations (aka holographic reduction, reparametrization) that is well-known in statistical physics and computer science, but less known in combinatorics. As an application…
We establish a polynomial recursion formula for linear Hodge integrals. It is obtained as the Laplace transform of the cut-and-join equation for the simple Hurwitz numbers. We show that the recursion recovers the Witten-Kontsevich theorem…
We consider SU(N) gauge theories on a two dimensional torus with finite area, $A$. Let $T_\mu(A)$ denote the Polyakov loop operator in the $\mu$ direction. Starting from the lattice gauge theory on the torus, we derive a formula for the…
We obtain two results concerning the Feichtinger conjecture for systems of normalized reproducing kernels in the model subspace $K_\Theta = H^2\ominus \Theta H^2$ of the Hardy space $H^2$, where $\Theta$ is an inner function. First, we…
Let S be a compact, connected surface and H in C^2(T^* S) a Tonelli Hamiltonian. This note extends V. V. Kozlov's result on the Euler characteristic of S when H is real-analytically integrable, using a definition of topologically-tame…
