The illumination conjecture is a classical open problem in convex and discrete geometry, asserting that every compact convex body~$K$ in $\mathbb R^n$ can be illuminated by a set of no more than $2^n$ points. If $K$ has smooth boundary, it…

It is conjectured that the recursive teaching dimension of any finite concept class is upper-bounded by the VC-dimension of this class times a universal constant. In this paper, we confirm this conjecture for two rich families of concept…

A new result of G. Cz\'edli states that for an ordered set $P$ with at least two elements and a group $G$, there exists a bounded lattice $L$ such that the ordered set of principal congruences of $L$ is isomorphic to $P$ and the…

Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group and H be a reductive closed and connected subgroup of G both defined on an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We consider the set C of the couple (x,y) of the dominant weights…

We describe a non-perturbative procedure for solving from first principles the light-front Hamiltonian problem of SU(N) pure gauge theory in D spacetime dimensions (D>2), based on enforcing Lorentz covariance of observables. A transverse…

We prove Zimmer's conjecture for co-compact lattices in ${\rm SL}(n, \mathbb C)$: for any co-compact lattice in ${\rm SL}(n, \mathbb C)$, $n \geq 3$, any $\Gamma$-action on a compact manifold $M$ with dimension: (I) less than $2n-2$ if $n…

A generalised Legendrian rack is a rack equipped with a Legendrian structure, which is a pair of maps encoding the information of Legendrian Reidemeister moves together with up and down cusps in the front diagram of an oriented Legendrian…

In the restricted setting of product phase space lattices, we give an alternate proof of P. Linnell's theorem on the finite linear independence of lattice Gabor systems in $L^2(\mathbb R^d)$. Our proof is based on a simple argument from the…

We prove in a large number of cases, that a Zariski dense discrete subgroup of a simple real algebraic group $G$ which contains a higher rank lattice is a lattice in the group $G$. For example, we show that a Zariski dense subgroup of…

We continue our work on the model theory of free lattices, solving two of the main open problems from our first paper on the subject. Our main result is that the universal (existential) theory of infinite free lattices is decidable. Our…

We give $L^1$-norm estimates for exponential sums of a finite sets $A$ consisting of integers or lattice points. Under the assumption that $A$ possesses sufficient multidimensional structure, our estimates are stronger than those of…

We prove that the Littlewood conjecture is satisfied for a restricted class of pairs $(\alpha,\beta)$ of badly approximable numbers. We use the localization of the roots of a cubic equation with coefficients depending on the diophantine…

We study certain lattices constructed from finite abelian groups. We show that such a lattice is eutactic, thereby confirming a conjecture by B\"ottcher, Eisenbarth, Fukshansky, Garcia, Maharaj. Our methods also yield simpler proofs of two…

For a locally compact second countable group G and a lattice subgroup Gamma, we give an explicit quantitative solution of the lattice point counting problem in general domains in G, provided that i) G has finite upper local dimension, and…

We prove a conjecture of Colmez concerning the reduction modulo $p$ of invariant lattices in irreducible admissible unitary $p$-adic Banach space representations of $GL_2(Q_p)$ with $p\ge 5$. This enables us to restate nicely the $p$-adic…

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…

Let $G$ be $PGL(n,F)$, $n \geq 3$, $F$ a certain non-archimedean local field; or let $G$ be $PSL(2,\mathbb{R}) \times \cdots \times PSL(2,\mathbb{R})$. Let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in $G$, and let $( \Lambda_n )$ be a sequence of lattices in…

The structure of the coincidence symmetry group of an arbitrary $n$-dimensional lattice in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space is considered by describing a set of generators. Particular attention is given to the coincidence isometry…

We give a new geometric proof of a conjecture of Fulton on the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. This conjecture was firstly proved by Knutson, Tao and Woodward using the Honeycomb theory. A geometric proof was given by Belkale. Our proof…

The interaction of matter with gravity in two dimensional spacetimes can be supplemented with a geometrical force analogous to a Lorentz force produced on a surface by a constant perpendicular magnetic field. In the special case of constant…
