The classical Hermite-Biehler theorem describes possible zero sets of complex linear combinations of two real polynomials whose zeros strictly interlace. We provide the full characterization of zero sets for the case when this interlacing…

An intersecting family of sets is trivial if all of its members share a common element. Hilton and Milner proved a strong stability result for the celebrated Erd\H{o}s--Ko--Rado theorem: when $n> 2k$, every non-trivial intersecting family…

The two-dimensional dense O(n) loop model for $n=1$ is equivalent to the bond percolation and for $n=0$ to the dense polymers or spanning trees. We consider the boundary correlations on the half space and calculate the probability $P_b$…

This article is devoted to the study of Jack connection coefficients, a generalization of the connection coefficients of the classical commutative subalgebras of the group algebra of the symmetric group closely related to the theory of Jack…

Let p be an odd prime. Let K = Q(zeta) be the p-cyclotomic field. Let v be any primitive root mod p. Let sigma be a Q-isomorphism of K. Let P(sigma) = sigma^{p-2}v^{-(p-2)}+ ... + sigma v^{-1} +1 \in Z[G] where 1 \leq v^n \leq p-1 is a…

Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ be an open set, not necessarily connected, with an $n$-dimensional uniformly rectifiable boundary. We show that $\partial\Omega$ may be approximated in a "Big Pieces" sense by boundaries of chord-arc…

We prove the Gersten conjecture for $p$-adic \'etale Tate twists for a smooth scheme $X$ in mixed characteristic in the Nisnevich topology. Our main observation is that, while $p$-adic \'etale Tate twists are not $\mathbb A^1$-invariant,…

The Birkhoff graph $\mathcal{B}_n$ is the Cayley graph of the symmetric group $S_n$, where two permutations are adjacent if they differ by a single cycle. Our main result is a tighter upper bound on the independence number…

For any open hyperbolic Riemann surface $X$, the Bergman kernel $K$, the logarithmic capacity $c_{\beta}$, and the analytic capacity $c_{B}$ satisfy the inequality chain $\pi K \geq c^2_{\beta} \geq c^2_B$; moreover, equality holds at a…

For a $\beta$ ensemble on $\Sigma^{(N)}=\{(x_1,\ldots,x_N)\mathbb R^N|x_1\le\cdots\le x_N\}$ with real analytic potential and general $\beta>0$, under the assumption that its equilibrium measure is supported on $q$ intervals where $q>1$, we…

We extend the fixed point result for Path-Averaged Contractions (PA-contractions) from complete metric spaces to complete b-metric spaces. We prove that every PA-contraction on a complete b-metric space has a unique fixed point, provided…

We prove the $1$-dimensional flat chain conjecture in any complete and quasiconvex metric space, namely that metric $1$-currents can be approximated in mass by normal $1$-currents. The proof relies on a new Banach space isomorphism theorem,…

We consider certain subsets of the space of $n\times n$ matrices of the form $K = \cup_{i=1}^m SO(n)A_i$, and we prove that for $p>1, q \geq 1$ and for connected $\Omega'\subset\subset\Omega\subset \R^n$, there exists positive constant…

If $S$ is a given regular $n$-simplex, $n \ge 2$, of edge length $a$, then the distances $a_1$, $\cdots$, $a_{n+1}$ of an arbitrary point in its affine hull to its vertices are related by the fairly known elegant relation $\phi_{n+1}…

The notion of regular pair $(A,B)$ for two nonempty closed convex subsets $A$ and~$B$ of a Hilbert space $\H$ was introduced by Borwein and Bauschke in 1993 to ensure convergence (in norm) of the alternating projection method to some point…

In this work we investigate several important aspects of the structure theory of the recently introduced quasi-Hopf superalgebras (QHSAs), which play a fundamental role in knot theory and integrable systems. In particular we introduce the…

In two-dimensional Lipschitz domains, we analyze a Brinkman--Darcy--Forchheimer problem on the weighted spaces $\mathbf{H}_0^1(\omega,\Omega) \times L^2(\omega,\Omega)/\mathbb{R}$, where $\omega$ belongs to the Muckenhoupt class $A_2$.…

Let $(A, I)$ be a bounded prism, and $X$ be a smooth $p$-adic formal scheme over $\Spf(A/I)$. We consider the notion of crystals on Bhatt--Scholze's prismatic site $(X/A)_{\prism}$ of $X$ relative to $A$. We prove that if $X$ is proper over…

In an earlier paper, we proved that Montgomery's Pair Correlation Conjecture (PCC) for zeros of the Riemann zeta-function can be used to prove without the assumption of the Riemann Hypothesis (RH) that asymptotically 100% of the zeros are…

We generalize some properties related to Hilbert series and Lefschetz properties of Milnor algebras of projective hypersurfaces with isolated singularities to the more general case of an almost complete intersection ideal $J$ of dimension…
