We classify an algebraic phenomenon on certain families of wreath products that can be seen as coming from a family of puzzles about switches on the corners of a spinning table. Such puzzles have been written about and generalized since…
Two contributions to the discussion of Fearnhead P. and D. Prangle (2012). Constructing summary statistics for approximate Bayesian computation: Semi-automatic approx- imate Bayesian computation, J. Roy. Statist. Soc. B, 74 (3).
This article is an expanded version of the talk given by the first author at the conference "Exponential sums over finite fields and applications" (ETH, Z\"urich, November, 2010). We state some conjectures on archimedian and $p$-adic…
The purpose of this article is threefold. First, it provides the reader with a few useful and efficient tools which should enable her/him to evaluate nontrivial determinants for the case such a determinant should appear in her/his research.…
This paper intends to solve the Transversal achievement on an n times n grid problem proposed by Dr. Martin Erickson. We approach the problem using mathematical induction and case analysis and prove the hypothesis that for all n greater…
This is a correction to the afore-mentioned paper in Duke Math. J. vol. 75 (1994), 99-119 by S. Keel, K. Matsuki, and J. McKernan. We completely rewrite Chapter 6 according to the original manuscript of the second author, in order to fix…
In this paper we introduce the notion of twisted symplectic reflection algebras and describe the category of representations of such an algebra associated to a non-faithful G-action in terms of those for faithful actions of G.
This is an expanded version of my Shaw Prize Lecture delivered at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
This is a supplement to the article "Markov Chain Monte Carlo Based on Deterministic Transformations" available at http://arxiv.org/abs/1106.5850
In this paper, we discuss twisted Alexander polynomials of a knot for group extensions of a finite group in two directions. Firstly, we provide a mod $p$ formula for the twisted Alexander polynomial of a knot in the $3$-sphere associated…
In his July 1974 Scientific American column, Martin Gardner mentioned the Handbook of Integer Sequences, which then contained 2372 sequences. Today the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (the OEIS) contains 140000 sequences. This…
This is a sequel to the paper [K. Fujii : SIGMA {\bf 7} (2011), 022, 12 pages]. In this paper we treat a non-Gaussian integral based on a quartic polynomial and make a mathematical experiment by use of MATHEMATICA whether the integral is…
This paper is inspired by a seqfan post by Jeremy Gardiner. The post listed nine sequences with similar parities. In this paper I prove that the similarities are not a coincidence but a mathematical fact.
We provide some corrections and clarifications to the paper [Gr3] of the title. In particular, we clarify the "left/right" conventions on complex reflection groups and their braid groups. Most importantly, we fill in a gap related to the…
This survey article on Hilbert's first and second problems is adapted from a one-hour colloquium lecture given at the University of Auckland in May, 2000, just three months before the 100th anniversary of Hilbert's lecture. It includes an…
We introduce a family of pairwise stochastic gradient estimators for gradients of expectations, which are related to the log-derivative trick, but involve pairwise interactions between samples. The simplest example of our new estimator,…
This is an expository article to accompany my two lectures at the CDM conference. I have used this an excuse to make public two sets of notes I had lying around, and also to put together a short reader's guide to some recent joint work with…
This is an extended abstract of my talk at the Oberwolfach Workshop "Representation Theory of Quivers and Finite-Dimensional Algebras" (February 12 - February 18, 2023 ). It is based on a joint work with R. Bennett-Tennenhaus…
Recently, Bagno, Garber and Mansour studied a kind of excedance number on the complex reflection groups and computed its multidistribution with the number of fixed points on the set of involutions in these groups. In this note, we consider…
This short note is an extended abstract for my talk at the Nottingham Online Algebraic Geometry Seminar on October 1, 2020. It is based on the joint works with Alexander Kuznetsov arXiv:1802.08097 and arXiv:2001.04148.
