We prove that non-pretentious multiplicative functions are orthogonal to polynomials over $\mF_q[x]$ (up to characteristic conditions).

We introduce a new method for showing that the roots of the characteristic polynomial of certain finite lattices are all nonnegative integers. This method is based on the notion of a quotient of a poset which will be developed to explain…

In this article, using generalized derivations, we obtain a simple idea to prove the non-commutative Newton binomial formula in unital algebras and then, we extend that formula to non-unital algebras. Additionally, we establish the…

We give the Thom polynomials for the singularities I_2,2 and A_3 associated with maps (C^n,0) -> (C^{n+k},0) with parameter k>=0. We give the Schur function expansions of these Thom polynomials. Moreover, for the singularities A_i (with any…

We introduce a notion of Hecke-monicity for functions on certain moduli spaces associated to torsors of finite groups over elliptic curves, and show that it implies strong invariance properties under linear fractional transformations.…

The second-order cone is a class of simple convex cones and optimizing over them can be done more efficiently than with semidefinite programming. It is interesting both in theory and in practice to investigate which convex cones admit a…
