We prove minimal entropy rigidity for complete, finite volume manifolds locally isometric to a product of rank one symmetric spaces of dimension at least 3: the locally symmetric metric uniquely minimizes (normalized) entropy among all…
We extend non-emtpyness and irreducibility of Hassett divisors to the moduli spaces of $M$-polarizable cubic fourfolds for higher rank lattices $M$, which in turn provides a systematic approach for describing the irreducible components of…
It is shown that the numbers $c_i$ of chains of length $i$ in the proper part $L\setminus\{0,1\}$ of a distributive lattice $L$ of length $\ell +2$ satisfy the inequalities $$c_0<...<c_{\lfloor{\ell /2}\rfloor} \quad{and}\quad c_{\lfloor{3…
We consider a model that arises in integer programming, and show that all irredundant inequalities are obtained from maximal lattice-free convex sets in an affine subspace. We also show that these sets are polyhedra. The latter result…
Optimal geometrical arrangements, such as the stacking of atoms, are of relevance in diverse disciplines. A classic problem is the determination of the optimal arrangement of spheres in three dimensions in order to achieve the highest…
In this paper, we explain a simple and uniform construction of a smooth integral model associated to a quadratic, (anti)-hermitian, and (anti)-quaternionic hermitian lattice defined over an arbitrary local field. As one major application,…
In this paper we introduce a notion of dimension and codimension for every element of a distributive bounded lattice $L$. These notions prove to have a good behavior when $L$ is a co-Heyting algebra. In this case the codimension gives rise…
We give a variant of Weyl's inequality for systems of forms together with applications. First we use this to give a different formulation of a theorem of B. J. Birch on forms in many variables. More precisely, we show that the dimension of…
Answering a long-standing question in the theory of torsion modules, we show that weakly productively bounded domains are necessarily productively bounded. Moreover, we prove a twin result for the ideal lattice L of a domain equating weak…
Let $ R \subset \R $ be a GCD-domain. In this paper, Weinberg's conjecture on the $ n \times n $ matrix algebra $ M_{n}(R) \ (n \geq 2) $ is proved. Moreover, all the lattice orders (up to isomorphisms) on a full $ 2 \times 2 $ matrix…
It is shown that, given any $k$-dimensional lattice $\Lambda$, there is a lattice sequence $\Lambda_w$, $w\in \mathbb Z$, with sub-orthogonal lattice $\Lambda_o \subset \Lambda$, converging to $\Lambda$ (unless equivalence), also we discuss…
Complex bases, along with direct-sums defined by rings of imaginary quadratic integers, induce algebraic lattices. In this work, we study such lattices and their reduction algorithms. Firstly, when the lattice is spanned over a two…
We study periodic tessellations of the Euclidean space with unequal cells arising from the minimization of perimeter functionals. Existence results and qualitative properties of minimizers are discussed for different classes of problems,…
We study the multiplication operation of square matrices over lattices. If the underlying lattice is distributive, then matrices form a semigroup; we investigate idempotent and nilpotent elements and the maximal subgroups of this matrix…
Suppose L and M are full-rank lattices in Euclidean space, such that vol(L) < vol(M). Answering a question of Han and Wang from 2001, we show how to construct a bounded measurable set F (we can even take F to be a finite union of polytopes)…
Let $\Gamma$ denote a lattice in $SU(1,p)$, with $p$ greater than 1. We show that there exists no Zariski dense maximal representation with target $SU(m,n)$ if $n>m>1$. The proof is geometric and is based on the study of the rigidity…
We show that uniform lattices of isometries of products of real hyperbolic spaces act properly discontinuously and cocompactly on a median space. For lattices in products of at least two factors, this is the strongest degree of…
We introduce a parameter space for periodic point sets, given as unions of $m$ translates of point lattices. In it we investigate the behavior of the sphere packing density function and derive sufficient conditions for local optimality.…
We investigate connections between Hardy's inequality in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^n$ and embedding inequalities for Sobolev-Lorentz spaces. In particular, we complete previous results due to [A. Alvino, Sulla diseguaglianza di Sobolev in…
Supersymmetry, like Poincare symmetry, is softly broken at finite lattice spacing provided the gaugino mass term is strongly suppressed. Domain wall fermions provide the mechanism for suppressing this term by approximately imposing chiral…
