We resolve a basic problem on subspace distances that often arises in applications: How can the usual Grassmann distance between equidimensional subspaces be extended to subspaces of different dimensions? We show that a natural solution is…

Given a multi-variable polynomial, there is an associated divided symmetrization (in particular turning it into a symmetric function). Postinkov has found the volume of a permutohedron as a divided symmetrization (DS) of the power of a…

We make progress towards characterizing the algebraic matroid of the determinantal variety defined by the minors of fixed size of a matrix of variables. Our main result is a novel family of base sets of the matroid, which characterizes the…

Using a result of Dranishnikov and Smith we prove that, under some conditions, the asymptotic power dimension of a proper metric space coincides with the dimension of its subpower corona.

The Grassmannian of affine subspaces is a natural generalization of both the Euclidean space, points being zero-dimensional affine subspaces, and the usual Grassmannian, linear subspaces being special cases of affine subspaces. We show…

The Grassmann angle improves upon similar angles between subspaces that measure volume contraction in orthogonal projections. It works in real or complex spaces, with important differences, and is asymmetric, what makes it more efficient…

We lay some mathematically rigorous foundations for the resolution of differential equations with respect to semi-classical bases and topologies, namely Freud-Sobolev polynomials and spaces. In this quest, we uncover an elegant theory…

In this paper we propose a new supersymmetric extension of conformal mechanics. The Grassmannian variables that we introduce are the basis of the forms and of the vector-fields built over the symplectic space of the original system. Our…

The properties of matrix valued polynomials generated by the scalar-type Rodrigues' formulas are analyzed. A general representation of these polynomials is found in terms of products of simple differential operators. The recurrence…

In this paper we study dual bases functions in subspaces. These are bases which are dual to functionals on larger linear space. Our goal is construct and derive properties of certain bases obtained from the construction, with primary focus…

We study a graded vector space of polynomials associated to a square matrix, defined by a finite difference condition along the rows. We show this space coincides with one defined by directional derivatives, and prove it is…

We introduce a new type of reduction of inversive difference polynomials that is associated with a partition of the basic set of automorphisms $\sigma$ and uses a generalization of the concept of effective order of a difference polynomial.…

A conformally invariant generalization of the Willmore energy for compact immersed submanifolds of even dimension in a Riemannian manifold is derived and studied. The energy arises as the coefficient of the log term in the renormalized area…

We give formulas for the number of polynomials over a finite field with given root multiplicities, in particular in cases when the formula is surprisingly simple (a power of q). Besides this concrete interpretation, we also prove an…
