This paper looks at how ancient mathematicians (and especially the Pythagorean school) were faced by problems/paradoxes associated with the infinite which led them to juggle two systems of numbers: the discrete whole/rationals which were…
The purpose of this note is to give an exposition of some interesting combinatorics and convex geometry concepts that appear in algebraic geometry in relation to counting the number of solutions of a system of polynomial equations in…
Zaremba's Conjecture concerns the formation of continued fractions with partial quotients restricted to a given alphabet. In order to answer the numerous questions that arrive from this conjecture, it is best to consider a semi-group, often…
The author surveys the problem of piecing together integral or rational solutions to Diophantine equations (global structure) from solutions modulo congruences and real solutions (local structure).
We study orbits of semigroups of $\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$, and demonstrate reciprocity obstructions: we show that certain such orbits avoid squares, but not as a consequence of obstructions inherited from an algebraic set, and not as a…
We present recent developments concerning Lorentzian geometry in algebras of generalized functions. These have, in particular, raised a new interest in refined regularity theory for the wave equation on singular space-times.
We prove new unconditional results of sparsity of integral points on orbits under many maps and correspondences in arbitrary dimensions, generalizing theorems of Yasufuku(2015) and others. The main ingredients are new diophantine…
We review the finite element approximation of the classical obstacle problem in energy and max-norms and derive error estimates for both the solution and the free boundary. On the basis of recent regularity results we present an optimal…
We develop the affine sieve in the context of orbits of congruence subgroups of semi-simple groups acting linearly on affine space. In particular we give effective bounds for the saturation numbers for points on such orbits at which the…
This note is a short survey of two topics: Archimedean zeta functions and Archimedean oscillatory integrals. We have tried to portray some of the history of the subject and some of its connections with similar devices in mathematics. We…
Apollonian gaskets are formed by repeatedly filling the gaps between three mutually tangent circles with further tangent circles. In this paper we give explicit formulas for the the limiting pair correlation and the limiting nearest…
These are intended to be review notes on emergent symmetries, i.e., symmetries which manifest themselves in specific sectors of energy in many systems. The emphasis is on the physical aspects rather than computation methods. We include some…
About global and local algebraic integrability of ovals. A contribution to clarify Newton results and relative comments on his work done by Arnol'd and Pourciau. A possibile application to air damper sections computation is offered, as…
Apollonian gaskets are formed by repeatedly filling the interstices between four mutually tangent circles with further tangent circles. We experimentally study the pair correlation, electrostatic energy, and nearest neighbor spacing of…
The main problem is to understand and to find periodic symmetric orbits in the $n$-body problem, in the sense of finding methods to prove or compute their existence, and more importantly to describe their qualitative and quantitative…
The small angle approximation often fails to explain experimental data, does not even predict if a plane pendulum's period increases or decreases with increasing amplitude. We make a perturbation ansatz for the Conserved Energy Surfaces of…
Analytic methods to investigate periodic orbits in galactic potentials. To evaluate the quality of the approximation of periodic orbits in the logarithmic potential constructed using perturbation theory based on Hamiltonian normal forms.…
It has been known for some time that the usual inference drawn from the observed near-flatness of the large-scale Universe - namely the existence of a cosmological "flatness problem", which is then taken as a partial, but key motivation for…
We survey some new results regarding a priori regularity estimates for the Boltzmann and Landau equations conditional to the boundedness of the associated macroscopic quantities. We also discuss some open problems in the area. In…
In this paper, we examine the physical consequences of a recently introduced black hole solution in bumblebee gravity [1]. The geometry is first presented and then reformulated through suitable coordinate adjustments, which make its global…
