McCuaig (2001, Brace Generation, J. Graph Theory 38: 124-169) proved a generation theorem for braces, and used it as the principal induction tool to obtain a structural characterization of Pfaffian braces (2004, P{\'o}lya's Permanent…

In this work, we prove the criterion of Banach-Grunblum and the principle of selection of Bessaga-Pe\l{}czy\'nski for normed spaces. As applications of these results, we show the Principle of Selection of Bessaga-Pe\l{}czy\'nski for normed…

In his beautiful paper on the central set from 1981, Y. Yomdin makes use of a Lipschitz Inverse Function Theorem that seemingly has been unproved until now. After a brief discussion of a natural and straightforward Lipschitz counterpart of…

A sharp version of the Central Limit Theorem for linear combinations of iterates of an inner function is proved. The authors previously showed this result assuming a suboptimal condition on the coefficients of the linear combination. Here…

For a set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ that contains the origin we consider $I^m(E)$ -- the set of all $m^{\text{th}}$ degree Taylor approximations (at the origin) of $C^m$ functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ that vanish on $E$. This set is an ideal in…

We give short, closure-theoretic proofs for uniform bounds on the growth of symbolic powers of ideals in regular rings. The author recently proved these bounds in mixed characteristic using various versions of perfectoid/big Cohen-Macaulay…

We show how multiplier ideals can be used to obtain uniform multiplicative bounds for certain families of ideals on a smooth complex algebraic variety. In particular we prove a quick but rather surprising result about symbolic powers of…

Christol's theorem states that a power series with coefficients in a finite field is algebraic if and only if its coefficient sequence is automatic. A natural question is how the size of a polynomial describing such a sequence relates to…

We expand the notion of core to $cl$-core for Nakayama closures $cl$. In the characteristic $p>0$ setting, when $cl$ is the tight closure, denoted by *, we give some examples of ideals when the core and the *-core differ. We note that…

We give a new elementary proof of the following theorem: if all critical points of a rational function g belong to the real line then there exists a fractional linear transformation L such that L(g) is a real rational function. Then we…

When introduced in a 2018 article in the American Mathematical Monthly, the omega integral was shown to be an extension of the Riemann integral. Although results for continuous functions such as the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus follow…

The supremum of reduction numbers of ideals having principal reductions is expressed in terms of the integral degree, a new invariant of the ring, which is finite provided the ring has finite integral closure. As a consequence, one obtains…

This paper shows an elementary and direct proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, via Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem on Minima and the Binomial Formula, that avoids: any root extraction other than the one used to define the modulus…

The F-threshold $c^J(\a)$ of an ideal $\a$ with respect to the ideal $J$ is a positive characteristic invariant obtained by comparing the powers of $\a$ with the Frobenius powers of $J$. We show that under mild assumptions, we can detect…

A Berry--Ess\'{e}en theorem for linear combinations of iterates of an inner function is obtained. Our proof, which is based an elementary transfer argument and classical results in martingale theory, also leads to a simple proof of Nicolau…

For every $\tau\in\mathbb{R}$ and every integer $N$, let $\mathfrak{m}_N(\tau)$ be the minimum of the distance of $\tau$ from the sums $\sum_{n=1}^N s_n/n$, where $s_1, \ldots, s_n \in \{-1, +1\}$. We prove that $\mathfrak{m}_N(\tau) <…

Freiman's $3k-4$ Theorem states that if a subset $A$ of $k$ integers has a Minkowski sum $A+A$ of size at most $3k-4$, then it must be contained in a short arithmetic progression. We prove a function field analogue that is also a…

Anderson's theorem states that if the numerical range W(A) of an n-by-n matrix A is contained in the unit disk and intersects with the unit circle at more than n points, then it coincides with the (closed) unit dissk. An analogue of this…

We prove a long-standing conjecture of Chudnovsky for very general and generic points in $\mathbb{P}_k^N$, where $k$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and for any finite set of points lying on a quadric, without any…

Analogues of Eakin-Sathaye theorem for reductions of ideals are proved for ${\mathbb N}^s$-graded good filtrations. These analogues yield bounds on joint reduction vectors for a family of ideals and reduction numbers for $\mathbb N$-graded…
