We introduce a conjecture that we call the {\it Two Hyperplane Conjecture}, saying that an isoperimetric surface that divides a convex body in half by volume is trapped between parallel hyperplanes. The conjecture is motivated by an…

We combine several mini miracles to achieve an elementary understanding of infinite loop spaces and very effective spectra in the algebro-geometric setting of motivic homotopy theory. Our approach combines $\Gamma$-spaces and framed…

Given $\mathbb P^4_k$, with $k$ algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, and $X\subset \mathbb P^4_k$ integral surface of degree $d$, let $Y=X\cap H$ be the general hyperplane section of $X$. We suppose that $h^0\mathscr…

It is shown that any finite-dimensional homomorphic image of an inverse limit of nilpotent not-necessarily-associative algebras over a field is nilpotent. More generally, this is true of algebras over a general commutative ring k, with…

We prove that if \Gamma is subgroup of Diff_{+}^{1+\epsilon}(I) and N is a natural number such that every non-identity element of \Gamma has at most N fixed points then \Gamma is solvable. If in addition \Gamma is a subgroup of…

The peak algebra is a unital subalgebra of the symmetric group algebra, linearly spanned by sums of permutations with a common set of peaks. By exploiting the combinatorics of sparse subsets of [n-1] (and of certain classes of compositions…

A planar point set of $n$ points is called {\em $\gamma$-dense} if the ratio of the largest and smallest distances among the points is at most $\gamma\sqrt{n}$. We construct a dense set of $n$ points in the plane with…

In high-contrast composites, the electric (or stress) field may exhibit significant amplification in the narrow region between inclusions. The behavior of the solution depends on the distance $\epsilon$ between the inclusions, which tends…

Let $L$ be a simply-connected simple connected algebraic group over a number field $F$, and $H$ be a semisimple absolutely maximal connected $F$-subgroup of $L$. Under a cohomological condition, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number…

We classify nontrivial, nonnegative, positively homogeneous solutions of the equation \begin{equation*} \Delta u=\gamma u^{\gamma-1} \end{equation*} in the plane. The problem is motivated by the analysis of the classical Alt-Phillips free…

We establish a general framework that guarantees the preservation of optimal control patterns as the time horizon $[0,T]$ increases and becomes unbounded. A concept of pattern-preserving family of optimal control problems is introduced and…

We study Hilbert functions of certain non-reduced schemes A supported at finite sets of points in projective space, in particular, fat point schemes. We give combinatorially defined upper and lower bounds for the Hilbert function of A using…

The (axis-parallel) stabbing number of a given set of line segments is the maximum number of segments that can be intersected by any one (axis-parallel) line. This paper deals with finding perfect matchings, spanning trees, or…

For any prime number p and any positive real number {\alpha}, we construct a finitely generated group {\Gamma} with p-gradient equal to {\alpha}. This construction is used to show that there exist uncountably many pairwise non-commensurable…

We give an overview of some properties of Lie algebras generated by at most 5 extremal elements. In particular, for any finite graph {\Gamma} and any field K of characteristic not 2, we consider an algebraic variety X over K whose K-points…

Let $\Gamma =(V,E)$ be a point-symmetric reflexive relation and let $v\in V$ such that $|\Gamma (v)|$ is finite (and hence $|\Gamma (x)|$ is finite for all $x$, by the transitive action of the group of automorphisms). Let $j\in \N$ be an…

Let $q>r\ge1$ be coprime integers. Let ${\mathbb P}_c={\mathbb P}_c(q,r,{\cal H})$ be an increasing sequence of primes $p$ satisfying two conditions: (i) $p\equiv r$ (mod $q$) and (ii) $p$ starts a prime $k$-tuple with a given pattern…

The paper contains a description of the maximal ideal spaces (spectra) $\cM_A$ of bi-invariant function algebras $A$ on a compact group $G$. There are natural compatible structures in $\cM_A$: it is a compact topological semigroup with…

We study a class of overdetermined algebraic systems of equations. We prove that the number of distinct solutions equals to the maximal possible if and only if certain matrices are commuting and semisimple. This gives a characterization of…
