Let $f\in \mathbb{Z}\lbrack x\rbrack$ be a polynomial of degree $d\geq 3$ without roots of multiplicity $d$ or $(d-1)$. Erd\H{o}s conjectured that, if $f$ satisfies the necessary local conditions, then $f(p)$ is free of $(d-1)$th powers for…
The Topological Tverberg Theorem claims that any continuous map of a (q-1)(d+1)-simplex to \R^d identifies points from q disjoint faces. (This has been proved for affine maps, for d=1, and if q is a prime power, but not yet in general.) The…
We introduce a graph structure on Euclidean polytopes. The vertices of this graph are the $d$-dimensional polytopes contained in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and its edges connect any two polytopes that can be obtained from one another by either…
We show that if a group automorphism of a Cremona group of arbitrary rank is also a homeomorphism with respect to either the Zariski or the Euclidean topology, then it is inner up to a field automorphism of the base-field. Moreover, we show…
By studying periodic points for rational maps on $\bm{C}^d$ with $p$ invariants, we show that they form an invariant variety of dimension $p$ if the periodicity conditions are `fully correlated', and a set of isolated points if the…
In this series of papers we study subspaces of de Branges spaces of entire functions which are generated by majorization on subsets $D$ of the closed upper half-plane. The present, first, part is addressed to the question which subspaces of…
For a two dimensional vector $\bar v=(\alpha,\beta)$, where $\alpha>0, \beta>0$ are irrational numbers independent over $\mathbb{Q}$, we consider the set $D_n=\{(i\alpha\,{\rm mod}\,1,i\beta\,{\rm mod}\,1),i=1,\ldots,n\}$ in a two…
The results from the article [Strachan I.A.B., Szablikowski B.M., Stud. Appl. Math. 133 (2014), 84-117] are extended over consideration of central extensions allowing the introducing of additional independent variables. Algebraic conditions…
We establish expansion properties for suitably generic polynomials of degree $d$ in $d+1$ variables over finite fields. In particular, we show that if $P\in\mathbb{F}_q[x_1,\ldots,x_{d+1}]$ is a polynomial of degree $d$ coming from an…
Waring's problem, of expressing an integer as the sum of powers, has a very long history going back to the 17th century, and the problem has been studied in many different contexts. In this paper we introduce the notion of a Waring subspace…
We formulate several conjectures which shed light on the structure of Veronese syzygies of projective spaces. Our conjectures are based on experimental data that we derived by developing a numerical linear algebra and distributed…
The concept of an intrinsic system can be extended to the case of collective octupole degrees of freedom by exploiting the symmetry properties with respect to transformations of the octahedral group O_h. Explicit formulas for scalar…
A homogeneous polynomial of degree $d$ in $n+1$ variables is identifiable if it admits a unique additive decomposition in powers of linear forms. Identifiability is expected to be very rare. In this paper we conclude a work started more…
We investigate point arrangements $v_i\in\mathbb R^d,i\in \{1,...,n \}$ with certain prescribed symmetries. The arrangement space of $v$ is the column span of the matrix in which the $v_i$ are the rows. We characterize properties of $v$ in…
The deautonomisation of birational maps that have the singularity confinement property, i.e. the construction of nonautonomous versions of such maps that preserve the singularity properties of the original, has proven crucial in our…
There are several notions of duality between lines and points. In this note, it is shown that all these can be studied in a unified way. Most interesting properties are independent of specific choices. It is also shown that either dual…
We give a new proof Tverberg's famous theorem: For every set $X \subset \R^d$ with $|X|=(r-1)(d+1)+1$, there is a partition of $X$ into $r$ sets $X_1,\ldots,X_r$ such that $\bigcap_{p=1}^r \conv X_p\ne \emptyset$. The new proof uses linear…
We consider the interplay of point counts, singular cohomology, \'etale cohomology, eigenvalues of the Frobenius and the Grothendieck ring of varieties for two families of varieties: spaces of rational maps and moduli spaces of marked,…
A set of real $n$th roots that is pairwise linearly independent over the rationals must also be linearly independent. We show how this result may be extended to more general fields.
We solve three enumerative problems concerning families of planar maps. More precisely, we establish algebraic equations for the generating function of non-separable triangulations in which all vertices have degree at least d, for a certain…
