Let $I$ be an $\m$-primary ideal of a Noetherian local ring $(R, \m)$ of positive dimension. The coefficient $e_1(\mathcal I)$ of the Hilbert polynomial of an $I$-admissible filtration $\mathcal I$ is called the Chern number of $\mathcal…

The induced Ramsey number $R_{\mathrm{ind}}(H; r)$ of a graph $H$ is the minimum number $N$ such that there exists a graph with $N$ vertices for which all $r$-colourings of its edges contain a monochromatic induced copy of $H$. Our main…

The adjoint of an ideal I in a regular local ring R is the R-ideal adj(I):=H^0(Y, I\omega_Y), where f:Y -> Spec(R) is a proper birational map with Y nonsingular and IO_Y invertible, and \omega_f is a canonical relative dualizing sheaf.…

Consider an algebraic number field, $K$, and its ring of integers, $\mathcal{O}_K$. There exists a smallest $B_K>1$ such that for any $x>1$ we can find a prime ideal, $\mathfrak{p}$, in $\mathcal{O}_K$ with norm $N(\mathfrak{p})$ in the…

We propose a definition for a Tau function and a spinor kernel (closely related to Baker-Akhiezer functions), where times parametrize slow (of order 1/N) deformations of an algebraic plane curve. This definition consists of a formal…

The Carath\'eodory number k(K) of a pointed closed convex cone K is the minimum among all the k for which every element of K can be written as a nonnegative linear combination of at most k elements belonging to extreme rays.…

Let $v(k)$ be the smallest integer larger than $1$ that does not occur among the denominators in any identity of the form $$ 1=\frac1{n_1}+\cdots+\frac1{n_k}, $$ where $1 \le n_1<\cdots<n_k$ are pairwise distinct integers. In their 1980…

Given a colored point set in the plane, a perfect rainbow polygon is a simple polygon that contains exactly one point of each color, either in its interior or on its boundary. Let $\operatorname{rb-index}(S)$ denote the smallest size of a…

Let $n,r,k,s$ be positive integers with $n,k\ge 2$. The generalized Ramsey number $R(n,r;k,s)$ is the smallest positive integer $p$ such that for every graph $G$ of order $p$, either $G$ contains a subgraph induced by $n$ vertices with at…

Let $R$ be a Cohen--Macaulay local $K$-algebra or a standard graded $K$-algebra over a field $K$ with a canonical module $\omega_R$. The trace of $\omega_R$ is the ideal $tr(\omega_R)$ of $R$ which is the sum of those ideals…

Given an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic zero, we study the incidence relation between points and irreducible projective curves, or more precisely the poset of irreducible proper subvarieties of $\mathbb P^2(K)$. Answering…

We use the technique developed by Becchi and Imbimbo to construct a well-defined BRST-invariant path integral formulation of pure spinor amplitudes. The space of pure spinors can be viewed from the algebraic geometry point of view as a…

Let $\mathcal A$ be a simple, $\sigma$-unital, non-unital, non-elementary C*-algebra and let $I_{min}$ be the intersection of all the ideals of $\mathcal M(\mathcal A)$ that properly contain $\mathcal A$. $I_{min}$ coincides with the ideal…

The motion of classical spinning test particles in the equatorial plane of a Kerr black hole is considered for the case where the particle spin is perpendicular to the equatorial plane. We review some results of our recent research of the…

This article is concerned with the representation of curves by means of integral invariants. In contrast to the classical differential invariants they have the advantage of being less sensitive with respect to noise. The integral invariant…

An exact $r$-coloring of a set $S$ is a surjective function $c:S\to [r]$. The rainbow number of a set $S$ for equation $eq$ is the smallest integer $r$ such that every exact $r$-coloring of $S$ contains a rainbow solution to $eq$. In this…

If $\a$ is an irrational number, we let $\{p_n/q_n\}_{n\geq 0}$, be the approximants given by its continued fraction expansion. The Bruno series $B(\a)$ is defined as $$B(\a)=\sum_{n\geq 0} \frac{\log q_{n+1}}{q_n}.$$ The quadratic…

In 2001, Robertson and Schaal found the 2-color off-diagonal generalized Schur numbers: for two positive integers $k$ and $l$, they determined the smallest positive integer $S = S(k, l)$ such that for any coloring of the integers from 1 to…
