We prove upper and lower bounds for the spectral condition number of rectangular Vandermonde matrices with nodes on the complex unit circle. The nodes are "off the grid", pairs of nodes nearly collide, and the studied condition number grows…

For any large prime $q$, $x \leq 1$ and any real $k\geq 2$, we prove a lower bound for the following $2k$-th moment \begin{equation*} \sum_{\substack{\chi \in X_q^*}} \Big| \sum_{n\leq x} \chi(n)\lambda(n)\Big|^{2k}, \end{equation*} where…

We prove the existence of primitive sets (sets of integers in which no element divides another) in which the gap between any two consecutive terms is substantially smaller than the best known upper bound for the gaps in the sequence of…

We answer the following long-standing question of Kolchin: given a system of algebraic-differential equations $\Sigma(x_1,\dots,x_n)=0$ in $m$ derivatives over a differential field of characteristic zero, is there a computable bound, that…

Given smooth, projective, geometrically integral algebraic curves $X$ and $Y$ defined over a number field $K$, assuming that there is a non-constant $K$-morphism $\varphi \colon X \to Y$, we give an upper bound on the minimum of the degrees…

We provide evidence for the existence of non-trivial unitary conformal boundary conditions for a three-dimensional free scalar field, which can be obtained via a coupling to the m'th unitary diagonal minimal model. For large m we can…

We state results from noncommutative deformation theory of modules over an associative $k$-algebra $A,$ $k$ a field, necessary for this work. We define a set of $A$-modules $\operatorname{aSpec}A$ containing the simple modules, whose…

Let G be a group. We say that G has spread r if for any set of distinct elements {x1,..., xr}\subset G there exists an element y\in G with the property that <xi, y>=G for every 0<i<r+1. Few bounds on the spread of finite simple groups are…

We show that if $X$ is a toric scheme over a regular commutative ring $k$ then the direct limit of the $K$-groups of $X$ taken over any infinite sequence of nontrivial dilations is homotopy invariant. This theorem was previously known for…

Denoting by Sigma(S) the set of subset sums of a subset S of a finite abelian group G, we prove that |Sigma(S)| >= |S|(|S|+2)/4-1 whenever S is symmetric, |G| is odd and Sigma(S) is aperiodic. Up to an additive constant of 2 this result is…

Conformally invariant boundary conditions for minimal models on a cylinder are classified by pairs of Lie algebras $(A,G)$ of ADE type. For each model, we consider the action of its (discrete) symmetry group on the boundary conditions. We…

Given a projective scheme $X$ over a field $k$, an automorphism $\sigma$ of $X$, and a $\sigma$-ample invertible sheaf $L$, one may form the twisted homogeneous coordinate ring $B = B(X, L, \sigma)$, one of the most fundamental…

Let S=K[x_1,...,x_n] be a polynomial ring and R=S/I be a graded K-algebra where I is a graded ideal in S. Herzog, Huneke and Srinivasan have conjectured that the multiplicity of R is bounded above by a function of the maximal shifts in the…

It is known that the variety parametrizing pairs of commuting nilpotent matrices is irreducible and that this provides a proof of the irreducibility of the punctual Hilbert scheme in the plane. We extend this link to the nilpotent commuting…

We consider the initial-boundary value problem for systems of quasilinear wave equations on domains of the form $[0,T] \times \Sigma$, where $\Sigma$ is a compact manifold with smooth boundaries $\partial\Sigma$. By using an appropriate…

For a topologically complete space $X$ and a family of closed covers $\mathcal A$ of $X$ satisfying a "local refinement condition" and a "completeness condition," we give a construction of an inverse system $\mathbf{ N}_{\mathcal A}$ of…

We present upper bounds on certain sums which are related to Artin's primitive root conjecture and are also used in counting ray class characters.

We obtain sharp lower and upper bounds for the number of maximal (under inclusion) independent sets in trees with fixed number of vertices and diameter. All extremal trees are described up to isomorphism.

Let $S$ be an upper cluster algebra, which is a subalgebra of $R$. Suppose that there is some cluster variable $x_e$ such that ${R}_{{x}_e} = S[{x}_e^{\pm 1}]$. We try to understand under which conditions ${R}$ is an upper cluster algebra,…

We show various upper bounds for the order of a digraph (or a mixed graph) whose Hermitian adjacency matrix has an eigenspace of prescribed codimension. In particular, this generalizes the so-called absolute bound for (simple) graphs first…
