Consider the ring of holomorphic function germs in $C^n$ and denote by $M$ the maximal ideal of this ring. For any a holomorphic function germ $f$ with an isolated critical point, the finite determinacy theorem (Mather-Tougeron) asserts…

We generalize a recent result by J.F. Carlson to finite tensor categories having finitely generated cohomology. Specifically, we show that if the Krull dimension of the cohomology ring is sufficiently large, then there exist infinitely many…

Algorithms for min-max optimization and variational inequalities are often studied under monotonicity assumptions. Motivated by non-monotone machine learning applications, we follow the line of works [Diakonikolas et al., 2021, Lee and Kim,…

We prove minimax theorems for lower semicontinuous functions defined on a Hilbert space. The main tool is the theory of $\Phi$-convex functions and sufficient and necessary conditions for the minimax equality to hold for $\Phi$-convex…

We consider a filtration on the cohomology of the structure sheaf indexed by (not necessarily reduced) divisors ``at infinity''. We show that the filtered pieces have transfers morphisms, fpqc descent, and are so called cube invariant. In…

We prove conditions for equality between the extreme eigenvalues of a matrix and its quotient. In particular, we give a lower bound on the largest singular value of a matrix and generalize a result of Finck and Grohmann about the largest…

In this paper we obtain some extensions of the classical Krylov-Safonov Harnack inequality. The novelty is that we consider functions that do not necessarily satisfy an infinitesimal equation but rather exhibit a two-scale behavior. We…

We investigate essential dimension of finite groups over arbitrary fields and give a systematic treatment of multihomogenization, introduced by H.Kraft, G.Schwarz and the author. We generalize the central extension theorem of Buhler and…

We prove that the number of critical points of a Li-Tam Green's function on a complete open Riemannian surface of finite type admits a topological upper bound, given by the first Betti number of the surface. In higher dimensions, we show…

In this paper, we study the symmetry properties of nondegenerate critical points of shape functionals using the implicit function theorem. We show that, if a shape functional is invariant with respect to some continuous group of rotations,…

We show that the linear map defined by multiplication with a general bi-homogeneous form between two bi-graduated pieces of the first cohomology of a nonsingular quadric in the projective space is of maximal rank. This is the first non…

The primary goal of the paper is to establish characteristic properties of (extended) real-valued functions defined on normed vector spaces that admit the representation as the lower envelope of their minimal (with respect to pointwise…

Over an algebraically closed field we classify all minimal representation-infinite algebras where the lattice of two-sided ideals is not distributive. As a consequence there are only finitely many isomorphism classes of minimal…

This paper establishes three minimax theorems for possibly nonconvex functions on Euclidean spaces or on infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. The theorems also guarantee the existence of saddle points. As a by-product, a complete solution…

We discuss some surprising phenomena from basic calculus related to oscillating functions and to the theorem on the differentiability of inverse functions. Among other things, we see that a continuously differentiable function with a strict…

We prove that a function definable with parameters in an o-minimal structure is bounded away from infinity as its argument goes to infinity by a function definable without parameters, and that this new function can be chosen independently…

We consider the eigenvalues of the biharmonic operator subject to several homogeneous boundary conditions (Dirichlet, Neumann, Navier, Steklov). We show that simple eigenvalues and elementary symmetric functions of multiple eigenvalues are…

It is shown that an arbitrary function from $D\subset \R^n$ to $\R^m$ will become $C^{0,\alpha}$-continuous in almost every $x\in D$ after restriction to a certain subset with limit point $x$. For $n\geq m$ differentiability can be…

The interplay of minimum degree conditions and structural properties of large graphs with forbidden subgraphs is a central topic in extremal graph theory. For a given graph $F$ we define the homomorphism threshold as the infimum over all…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $\fa$ be an ideal of $R$ and $M$ be an $R$-module. It is shown that if $\Ext^i_R(R/\fa,M)$ is minimax for all $i\leq \dim M$, then the $R$-module $\Ext^i_R(N,M)$ is minimax for all $i\geq 0$ and for…
