This paper studies and bounds the effects of approximating loss functions and credal sets on choice functions, under very weak assumptions. In particular, the credal set is assumed to be neither convex nor closed. The main result is that…

C. Bonnaf{\'e}, M. Geck, L. Iancu, and T. Lam have conjectured a description of one-sided cells in unequal parameter Hecke algebras of type $B$ which is based on domino tableaux of arbitrary rank. In the integer case, this generalizes the…

We associate certain curves over function fields to given algebraic power series and show that bounds on the rank of Kodaira-Spencer map of this curves imply bounds on the exponents of the power series, with more generic curves giving lower…

In this paper we develop the convergence theory of simultaneous, inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation on manifolds. A consequence of our main result is that if the manifold $M \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is of dimension strictly greater than…

This paper is motivated by two problems in the theory of Diophantine approximation, namely, Davenport's problem regarding badly approximable points on submanifolds of a Euclidean space and Schmidt's problem regarding the intersections of…

Recently, Yanyan Li and Xukai Yan showed the following interesting Hardy inequalities with anisotropic weights: Let $n\geq 2$, $p \geq 1$, $p\alpha > 1-n$, $p(\alpha + \beta)> -n$, then there exists $C > 0$ such that…

We prove a result on linear forms related to Peres-Schlag's theorem on badly approximable numbers with respect to lacunary sequences.

Let $\alpha$ be a fixed quadratic irrational. Consider the Diophantine equation \[ y^a\ =\ q_{N_1} + \cdots + q_{N_K},\quad N_1 \geq \cdots \geq N_{K} \geq 0,\quad a, y \geq 2 \] where $(q_N)_{N\,\geq\,0}$ is the sequence of convergent…

We prove that the approximation conjecture of Luck holds for all amenable groups in the complex group algebra case. This result was previously proved by Dodziuk, Linnell, Mathai, Schick and Yates under the assumption that the group is…

In recent years, the ergodic theory of group actions on homogeneous spaces has played a significant role in the metric theory of Diophantine approximation. We survey some recent developments with special emphasis on Diophantine properties…

We formulate a "correct" version of the Quillen conjecture on linear group homology for certain arithmetic rings and provide evidence for the new conjecture. In this way we predict that the linear group homology has a direct summand looking…

I present here the proofs of results, which are obtained in my papers "On the linear forms with algebraic coefficoients of logarithms of algebraic numbers", VINITI, 1996, 1617-B96, pp. 1 - 23 (in Russian), and "On the systems of linear…

We propose a conjecture, similar to Skolem's conjecture, on a Hasse-type principle for exponential diophantine equations. We prove that in a sense the principle is valid for "almost all" equations. Based upon this we propose a general…

We introduce deterministic perturbation schemes for the recently proposed random directions stochastic approximation (RDSA) [17], and propose new first-order and second-order algorithms. In the latter case, these are the first second-order…

Let $\Theta=(\alpha,\beta)$ be a point in $\bR^2$, with $1,\alpha,\beta$ linearly independent over $\bQ$. We attach to $\Theta$ a quadruple $\Omega(\Theta)$ of exponents which measure the quality of approximation to $\Theta$ both by…

Rough set theory is a new mathematical approach to imperfect knowledge. The notion of rough sets is generalized by using an arbitrary binary relation on attribute values in information systems, instead of the trivial equality relation. The…

We study metric Diophantine approximation in local fields of positive characteristic. Specifically, we study the problem of improving Dirichlet's theorem in Diophantine approximation and prove very general results in this context.

We explore an application of homological algebra to set theoretic objects by developing a cohomology theory for Hausdorff gaps. The cohomology theory is introduced with enough generality to be applicable to other questions in set theory.…

In this paper, in the line of Aytar\cite{Ay2} and \c{C}olak \cite{Co}, we introduce the notion of rough statistical convergence of order $\alpha$ in normed linear spaces and study some properties of the set of all rough statistical limit…

We initiate the study of quadratic discrepancy for finite point sets on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb H^n$ with respect to upper Ahlfors regular probability measures. For a natural family of test sets given by left translations and…
