The purpose of this article is to establish new lower bounds for the sums of powers of eigenvalues of the Dirichlet fractional Laplacian operator $(-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}|_{\Omega}$ restricted to a bounded domain $\Omega\subset{\mathbb R}^d$…

Let $w$ be a permutation of $\{1,2,\ldots,n \}$, and let $D(w)$ be the Rothe diagram of $w$. The Schubert polynomial $\mathfrak{S}_w(x)$ can be realized as the dual character of the flagged Weyl module associated to $D(w)$. This implies a…

In SODA'99, Chan introduced a simple type of planar straight-line upward order-preserving drawings of binary trees, known as LR drawings: such a drawing is obtained by picking a root-to-leaf path, drawing the path as a straight line, and…

The Waldschmidt constant $\alphahat(I)$ of a radical ideal $I$ in the coordinate ring of $\PP^N$ measures (asymptotically) the degree of a hypersurface passing through the set defined by $I$ in $\PP^N$. Nagata's approach to the 14th Hilbert…

Let $A(n,d)$ (respectively $A(n,d,w)$) be the maximum possible number of codewords in a binary code (respectively binary constant-weight $w$ code) of length $n$ and minimum Hamming distance at least $d$. By adding new linear constraints to…

We give an improvement of sharp Berezin type bounds on the Riesz means $\sum_k(\Lambda-\lambda_k)_+^\sigma$ of the eigenvalues $\lambda_k$ of the Dirichlet Laplacian in a domain if $\sigma\geq 3/2$. It contains a correction term of the…

In this paper we consider the fractional parts of a general sequence, for example the sequence $\alpha \sqrt{n}$ or $\alpha n^2$. We give a general method, which allows one to show that long-range correlations (correlations where the…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group and $D(G)$ denote the Davenport constant of $G$. We derive new upper bound for the Davenport constant for all groups of rank three. Our main result is that: $$D(C_{n_1}\oplus C_{n_2}\oplus C_{n_3})\le…

Consider a closed curve of length $2\pi$ with curvature $\kappa(s)$ and the Schr\"odinger operator $H$ with $\kappa^2$ as the potential term. Let $\lambda_\Gamma$ be the lowest eigenvalue of $H$. The Ovals Conjecture proposed by Benguria…

Let $D$ be a set of positive integers. A $D$-diffsequence of length $k$ is a sequence of positive integers $a_1 < \cdots < a_k$ such that $a_{i+1}-a_i\in D$ for $i=1,\ldots,k-1$. For $D=\{2^i\mid i\in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0}\}$, it is known that…

We improve the lower bound on worst case trace reconstruction from $\Omega\left(\frac{n^{5/4}}{\sqrt{\log n}}\right)$ to $\Omega\left(\frac{n^{3/2}}{\log^{7} n}\right)$. As a consequence, we improve the lower bound on average case trace…

For $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, a convex and bounded domain, we study the spectrum of $-\Delta_\Omega$ the Dirichlet Laplacian on $\Omega$. For $\Lambda\geq0$ and $\gamma \geq 0$ let $\Omega_{\Lambda, \gamma}(\mathcal{A})$ denote any…

Given a lower envelope in the form of an arbitrary sequence $u$, let $LSP(u, d)$ denote the maximum length of any subsequence of $u$ that can be realized as the lower envelope of a set of polynomials of degree at most $d$. Let $sp(m, d)$…

Kayal, Saha and Tavenas [Theory of Computing, 2018] showed that for all large enough integers $n$ and $d$ such that $d\geq \omega(\log{n})$, any syntactic depth four circuit of bounded individual degree $\delta = o(d)$ that computes the…

DeepLLL algorithm (Schnorr, 1994) is a famous variant of LLL lattice basis reduction algorithm, and PotLLL algorithm (Fontein et al., 2014) and $S^2$LLL algorithm (Yasuda and Yamaguchi, 2019) are recent polynomial-time variants of DeepLLL…

We give a new lower bound for the first gap $\lambda_2 - \lambda_1$ of the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Schr{\"o}dinger operator on a bounded convex domain $\Omega$ in R$^n$ or S$^n$ and greatly sharpens the previous estimates. The new…

We improve the upper bound for diagonal Ramsey numbers to \[R(k+1,k+1)\le\exp(-c(\log k)^2)\binom{2k}{k}\] for $k\ge 3$. To do so, we build on a quasirandomness and induction framework for Ramsey numbers introduced by Thomason and extended…

We prove that the flow-cut gap for $n$-node directed graphs is at most $n^{1/3 + o(1)}$. This is the first improvement since a previous upper bound of $\widetilde{O}(n^{11/23})$ by Agarwal, Alon, and Charikar (STOC '07), and it narrows the…

Erd\H{o}s and Purdy, and later Agarwal and Sharir, conjectured that any set of $n$ points in $\mathbb R^{d}$ determine at most $Cn^{d/2}$ congruent $k$-simplices for even $d$. We obtain the first significant progress towards this…
