During the whole of 1874, Camille Jordan and Leopold Kronecker quar- relled vigorously over the organisation of the theory of bilinear forms. That theory promised a "general" and "homogeneous" treatment of numerous questions arising in…

In the planar setting the Rad\'o-Kneser-Choquet theorem states that a harmonic map from the unit disk onto a Jordan domain bounded by a convex curve is a diffeomorphism provided that the boundary mapping is a homeomorphism. We prove the…

''Positive geometries'' are a class of semi-algebraic domains which admit a unique ''canonical form'': a logarithmic form whose residues match the boundary structure of the domain. The study of such geometries is motivated by recent…

We prove analogues of the fundamental theorem of algebraic K-theory for the second and third homology of SL_2 over an infinite field k. The statements involve Milnor-Witt K-theory and scissors congruence groups. We use these results to…

We give a canonical form of m-by-2-by-2 spatial matrices for equivalence over any field.

We prove a triangulation theorem for semi-algebraic sets over a p-adically closed field, quite similar to its real counterpart. We derive from it several applications like the existence of flexible retractions and splitting for…

We give a canonical form of m-by-2-by-2 matrices for equivalence over any field of characteristic not two.

We show an analogue of Jordan's theorem for algebraic groups defined over a field $\mathbb k$ of arbitrary characteristic. As a consequence, a Jordan-type property holds for the automorphism group of any projective variety over $\mathbb k$.

We show that the Jacobian conjecture of the two dimensional case is true.

In this paper we prove a correspondence between a canonical degree six covariant of binary quartic forms $F$ and a cubic covariant of a pair of ternary quadratic forms $(f_A, f_B)$. In the process we obtain a canonical way to diagonalize a…

We prove Sklar's theorem in infinite dimensions via a topological argument and the notion of inverse systems.

We prove a criterion for continuity of bilinear maps on countable direct sums of topological vector spaces. As a first application, we get a new proof for the fact (due to Hirai et al. 2001) that the map taking a pair of test functions on…

The study of regular incidence structures such as projective planes and symmetric block designs is a well established topic in discrete mathematics. Work of Bruck, Ryser and Chowla in the mid-twentieth century applied the Hasse-Minkowski…

The fundamental identity of quadratic Jordan algebras $Q_{Q_a b} = Q_aQ_bQ_a$ is commonly proven as a consequence of MacDonalds theorem or using more analytic methods. In this short note we give a self-contained purely algebraic proof using…

Let $B$ be a bilinear form on pairs of points in the complex plane, of the form $B(p,q) = p^TMq$, for an invertible $2\times2$ complex matrix $M$. We prove that any finite set $S$ contained in an irreducible algebraic curve $C$ of degree…

We give completely combinatorial proofs of the main results of [3] using polygons. Namely, we prove that the mapping class group of a surface with boundary acts faithfully on a finitely-generated linear category. Along the way we prove some…

The moduli space of Gieseker vector bundles is a compactification of moduli of vector bundles on a nodal curve. This moduli space has only normal crossing singularity and it provides a flat degeneration. We prove a Torelli type theorem for…

For every algebraically closed field $\boldsymbol k$ of characteristic different from $2$, we prove the following: (1) Generic finite dimensional (not necessarily associative) $\boldsymbol k$-algebras of a fixed dimension, considered up to…
