We consider Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov system of linear differential equations. The coefficients of this system are rational functions. We prove that under some conditions the solution of KZ system is rational too. This assertion confirms…

The zeta-function of a complex variety is a power series whose nth coefficient is the nth symmetric power of the variety, viewed as an element in the Grothendieck ring of complex varieties. We prove that the zeta-function of a surface is…

The Betke-Henk-Wills conjecture proposes a sharp upper bound for the lattice point enumerator $G(K, \Lambda)$ of a convex body in terms of its successive minima. While the conjecture remains open for general convex bodies in dimensions $d…

Let $K_0(\mathcal{V}_{K})$ be the Grothendieck ring of varieties over a field $K$ of characteristic zero, and let $\mathbb{L} = [\mathbb{A}^1_{K}]$ denote the Lefschetz class. We prove that if a $K$-variety has $\mathbb{L}$-rational…

Suppose that $m,n\in \mathbb{N}$ and that $A:\mathbb{R}^m\to \mathbb{R}^n$ is a linear operator. It is shown here that if $k,r\in \mathbb{N}$ satisfy $k<r\le \mathrm{\bf rank(A)}$ then there exists a subset $\sigma\subseteq \{1,\ldots,m\}$…

Meshalkin's theorem states that a class of ordered p-partitions of an n-set has at most $\max \binom{n}{a_1,...,a_p}$ members if for each k the k'th parts form an antichain. We give a new proof of this and the corresponding LYM inequality…

We give a general lower bound on the rank of matrices of the form $\rho(h) - I$ with $\rho : G \rightarrow GL({\mathbb F}^n)$ an irreducible representation of a finite group $G$. The main tool in the proof is a (strengthening) of a…

We study vectors chosen at random from a compact convex polytope in $\mathbb{R}^n$ given by a finite number of linear constraints. We determine which projections of these random vectors are asymptotically normal as $n\to\infty$. Marginal…

Here we answer a conjecture by Ron Graham about getting finer upper bounds for van der Waerden numbers in the affirmative, but without the application of double induction or combinatorics as applied to sets of integers that contain some van…

We study the index of nilpotency relative to certain Hecke operators in spaces of modular forms with integer weight and level $N$ with integer coefficients modulo primes $p$ for $(p, N) \in \{(3, 1), (5, 1), (7, 1), (3, 4)\}$. In these…

Let $R$ be an excellent Henselian discrete valuation ring with algebraically closed residue field $k$ of any characteristic. Fix integers $r,d$ with $r\ge 2$. Let $X_R$ be a regular fibred surface over Spec($R$) with special fibre denoted…

In this paper, we study bounds for the number of rational points on twists C' of a fixed curve C over a number field K, under the condition that the group of K-rational points on the Jacobian J' of C' has rank smaller than the genus of C'.…

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we obtain an upper bound for the 2k-th moment of the derivative of the Riemann zeta-function averaged over the non-trivial zeros of $\zeta(s)$ for every positive integer k. Our bounds are nearly as sharp as…

An integer point in a polyhedron is called irreducible iff it is not the midpoint of two other integer points in the polyhedron. We prove that the number of irreducible integer points in $n$-dimensional polytope with radius $k$ given by a…

Let $\overline{k}$ be a fixed algebraic closure of $k$. When the finite place $v$ is of degree one, we show that all $\overline{k}$-linear relations among $v$-adic Carlitz multiple polylogarithms at algebraic points arise from $k$-linear…

Let $[\, \cdot\,]$ be the floor function and $\|x\|$ denotes the distance from $x$ to the nearest integer. In this paper we show that whenever $\alpha$ is irrational and $\beta$ is real then for any fixed $1<c<12/11$ there exist infinitely…

The knowledge on irrationality of p-adic zeta values has recently progressed. The irrationality of zeta_2(2), \zeta_2(3) and of a few other p-adic series of Dirichlet was obtained by F. Calegari. F. Beukers gave a more elementary proof of…

Given a closed subvariety X in a projective space, the rank with respect to X of a point p in this projective space is the least integer r such that p lies in the linear span of some r points of X. Let W_k be the closure of the set of…
