We compute the number of points over finite fields of some algebraic varieties related to cluster algebras of finite type. More precisely, these varieties are the fibers of the projection map from the cluster variety to the affine space of…
We consider multiple and set-indexed sums of random vectors taking values in Euclidean space of growing dimension. It is shown that, when viewed as finite metric spaces, the sets of values of such sums converge in probability. The limit is…
In this talk I will introduces two spaces: the first space is the usual n-dimensional vector space with the unusual feature that n is non-integer, the second space is composed by the linear matrices acting on the previous space (physicists…
We give an explicit construction of a large subset of F^n, where F is a finite field, that has small intersection with any affine variety of fixed dimension and bounded degree. Our construction generalizes a recent result of Dvir and Lovett…
Let $G_1, \dots, G_k$ be finite-dimensional vector spaces over a prime field $\mathbb{F}_p$. Let $V$ be a variety inside $G_1 \times \cdots \times G_k$ defined by a multilinear map. We show that if $|V| \geq c |G_1| \cdots |G_k|$, then $V$…
The set of matrix tuples with invariant subspaces whose dimensions sum up to the dimension of the space, but which do not span the whole space form an algebraic hypersurface. We found the equation of this hypersurface. This generalizes…
Given $n$ integer, let $X$ be either the set of hermitian or real $n\times n$ matrices of rank at least $n-1$. If $n$ is even, we give a sharp estimate on the maximal dimension of a real vector subspace of $X\cup\{0\}$. The rusults are…
The purpose of the paper is to give a complete characterization of the continuity of lower envelopes in the infinite dimensional spaces in terms of the notion of c-regularity. As an application we introduce a variational unconstrained…
On the one hand the algebras of linear operators here act on finite-dimensional vector spaces, and on the other hand the point of view is generally an analysts'. Also, one might think of algebras as being used to add more data to basic…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a family of inner products in a finite-dimensional vector space $V$ over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{K}$ to have an orthogonal basis relative to all the inner products. Some applications to…
We provide upper bounds for the cardinality of the value set of a polynomial map in several variables over a finite field. These bounds generalize earlier bounds for univariate polynomials.
A vector space A of matrices is called rank-critical if any vector space that properly contains A has a strictly higher generic rank. I present a sufficient condition for A to be rank-critical, and apply this condition to prove that certain…
We find tight estimates for the minimum number of proper subspaces needed to cover all lattice points in an n-dimensional convex body symmetric about the origin. We also find the order of magnitude of the number of (n-1)-dimensional…
An arc is a set of vectors of the $k$-dimensional vector space over the finite field with $q$ elements ${\mathbb F}_q$, in which every subset of size $k$ is a basis of the space, i.e. every $k$-subset is a set of linearly independent…
We consider vector and set optimization problems with respect to variable domination structures given by set-valued mappings acting between the preimage space and the image space of the objective mapping, as well as by set-valued mappings…
In this paper, we introduce a graph structure, called non-zero component graph on finite dimensional vector spaces. We show that the graph is connected and find its domination number and independence number. We also study the…
We classify, up to a natural equivalence relation, vector fields of the plane which belong to the kernel of a 1--form. This form can be closed, in which case the vector fields are integrable, or not, in which case the differential of the…
A topological space $X$ is called resolvable if it contains a dense subset with dense complement. Using only basic principles, we show that whenever the space $X$ has a resolving subset that can be written as an at most countably infinite…
The simple cubic lattice defines a set of points at regular distances. The volume of the Voronoi cells around each point may serve as a weight for integration over the entire space. We add interstitial points to this grid according to the…
We enumerate the number of $T$-splitting subspaces of dimension $m$ for an arbitrary operator $T$ on a $2m$-dimensional vector space over a finite field. When $T$ is regular split semisimple, comparison with an alternate method of…
