Let $\lambda(m)$ be the $m$th coefficient of a modular form $f(z)=\sum_{m\geq 1} \lambda(m)q^m$ of weight $k\geq 4$, let $p^n$ be a prime power, and let $\varepsilon>0$ be a small number. An approximate of the Atkin-Serre conjecture on the…

We review some known inclusion results for the roots of a polynomial, and adapt them to a conjecture recently presented by S. A. Vavasis. In particular, we provide strict upper and lower bounds to the distance of the closest root of a…

The Torsion Anomalous Conjecture states that an irreducible variety $V$ embedded in a semi-abelian variety contains only finitely many maximal $V$-torsion anomalous varieties. In this paper we consider an irreducible variety embedded in a…

Given a projective variety X defined over a finite field, the zeta function of divisors attempts to count all irreducible, codimension one subvarieties of X, each measured by their projective degree. When the dimension of X is greater than…

This paper considers an extremal version of the Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem. For a point set $P \subset \mathbb R^d$, let $\Delta(P)$ denote the set of all Euclidean distances determined by $P$. Our main result is the following: if…

In this article, we investigate the conjecture posed by Nadirashvili in 1997. It states that if a harmonic function has bounded nodal volume in the unit ball, then the supermum over the half-ball can be bounded by a finite sum of…

Let $f(z)={}_nF_{n-1}(\mathbf{\alpha},\mathbf{\beta})$ be the hypergeometric series with parameters $\mathbf{\alpha} = (\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_n)$ and $\mathbf{\beta} = (\beta_1,\ldots,\beta_{n-1},1)$ in $(\mathbb{Q}\cap(0,1])^n$, let…

We prove a conjecture of Lacey and Li in the case that the vector field depends only on one variable. Specifically: let v be a vector field defined on the unit square such that v(x,y) = (1,u(x)) for some measurable u from [0,1] to [0,1].…

We study the essential minimum of the (stable) Faltings height on the moduli space of elliptic curves. We prove that, in contrast to the Weil height on a projective space and the N{\'e}ron-Tate height of an abelian variety, Faltings' height…

We study the conformal bootstrap constraints for 3D conformal field theories with a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ or parity symmetry, assuming a single relevant scalar operator $\epsilon$ that is invariant under the symmetry. When there is additionally a…

A set N is called a "weak epsilon-net" (with respect to convex sets) for a finite set X in R^d if N intersects every convex set that contains at least epsilon*|X| points of X. For every fixed d>=2 and every r>=1 we construct sets X in R^d…

Consider the class of zero-mean functions with fixed $L^{\infty}$ and $L^1$ norms and exactly $N\in \mathbb{N}$ nodal points. Which functions $f$ minimize $W_p(f_+,f_-)$, the Wasserstein distance between the measures whose densities are the…

In the subspace approximation problem, we seek a k-dimensional subspace F of R^d that minimizes the sum of p-th powers of Euclidean distances to a given set of n points a_1, ..., a_n in R^d, for p >= 1. More generally than minimizing sum_i…

We consider finite element approximations to the optimal constant for the Hardy inequality with exponent $p=2$ in bounded domains of dimension $n=1$ or $n \geq 3$. For finite element spaces of piecewise linear and continuous functions on a…

We study the $p$-adic absolute value of the roots of the $L$-functions associated to certain twisted character sums, and additive character sums associated to polynomials $P(x^d)$, when $P$ varies among the space of polynomial of fixed…

We count algebraic points of bounded height and degree on the graphs of certain functions analytic on the unit disk, obtaining a bound which is polynomial in the degree and in the logarithm of the multiplicative height. We combine this work…

Cohomology spaces of the Poisson superalgebra realized on smooth Grassmann-valued functions with compact support on $R^{2n}$ ($C^{2n}) are investigated under suitable continuity restrictions on cochains. The first and second cohomology…

In this note we prove a sharp lower bound on the necessary number of nestings of nested absolute-value functions of generalized hinging hyperplanes (GHH) to represent arbitrary CPWL functions. Previous upper bound states that $n+1$ nestings…
