We find explicit maximal rank Coxeter quotients for the knot groups of 595,515 out of the 1,701,936 knots through 16 crossings. We thus calculate the bridge numbers and verify Cappell and Shaneson's Meridional Rank Conjecture for these…
We investigate the question of how to compute the cotensor product, and more generally the derived cotensor (i.e., Cotor) groups, of a tensor product of comodules. In particular, we determine the conditions under which there is a…
Recently N. Levin (Comp. Math. 127 (2001), 1--21) proved the Tate conjecture for ordinary cubic fourfolds over finite fields. In this paper we prove the Tate conjecture for self-products of ordinary cubic fourfolds. Our proof is based on…
The generic monic polynomial of sixth degree features 6 a priori arbitrary coefficients. We show that if these 6 coefficients are appropriately defined in two different ways|in terms of 5 arbitrary parameters, then the 6 roots of the…
A classical theorem by K. Ribet asserts that an abelian variety defined over the maximal cyclotomic extension $K$ of a number field has only finitely many torsion points. We show that this statement can be viewed as a particular case of a…
The classical Kepler-Coulomb system in 3 dimensions is well known to be 2nd order superintegrable, with a symmetry algebra that closes polynomially under Poisson brackets. This polynomial closure is typical for 2nd order superintegrable…
We study the quadratic integral points-that is, (S-)integral points defined over any extension of degree two of the base field-on a curve defined in P_3 by a system of two Pell equations. Such points belong to three families explicitly…
Introduced by Solomon in his 1976 paper, the descent algebra of a finite Coxeter group received significant attention over the past decades. As proved by Gessel, in the case of the symmetric group its structure constants give the…
We obtain a complete and minimal set of 170 generators for the algebra of $SL(2,\C)^{\times 4}$-covariants of a binary quadrilinear form. Interpreted in terms of a four qubit system, this describes in particular the algebraic varieties…
We prove the conjecture by Gyenge, N\'emethi and Szendr\H{o}i in arXiv:1512.06844, arXiv:1512.06848 giving a formula of the generating function of Euler numbers of Hilbert schemes of points $\operatorname{Hilb}^n(\mathbb C^2/\Gamma)$ on a…
Consider the Cohomological Hall Algebra as defined by Kontsevich and Soibelman, associated with a Dynkin quiver. We reinterpret the geometry behind the multiplication map in the COHA, and give an iterated residue formula for it. We show…
We give an explicit weak solution to the Schottky problem, in the spirit of Riemann and Schottky. For any genus $g$, we write down a collection of polynomials in genus $g$ theta constants, such that their common zero locus contains the…
We study some explicit Siegel modular forms from Weil representations. For the classical theta group $\Gamma_m(1,2)$ with $m > 1$, there are some eighth roots of unity associated with these modular forms, as noted in the works of Andrianov,…
Borisov and Libgober recently proved a conjecture of Dijkgraaf, Moore, Verlinde, and Verlinde on the elliptic genus of a Hilbert scheme of points on a surface. We show how their result can be used together with our work on complex genera of…
The Weyl algebra over a field $k$ of characteristic $0$ is a simple ring of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension 2, which has a grading by the group of integers. We classify all $\mathbb{Z}$-graded simple rings of GK-dimension 2 and show that they…
The present article is concerned with global subelliptic estimates for Kramers-Fokker-Planck operators with polynomials of degree less than or equal to two. The constants appearing in those estimates are accurately formulated in terms of…
We provide a differential cocycle model for elliptic cohomology with complex coefficients and use analytic methods to construct a cocycle representative for the Witten class in this language. Our motivation stems from the conjectural…
We show that the theta representations on certain covers of general linear groups support certain types of unique functionals. The proof involves two types of Fourier coefficients. The first are semi-Whittaker coefficients, which generalize…
We construct a maximal discrete extension of the paramodular group with a full level-2 structure. The corresponding Siegel variety parametrizes (birationally) the space of Kummer surfaces associated to (1,p)-polarized abelian surfaces with…
This paper investigates defining equations for secant varieties of the variety of reducible polynomials, which geometrically encode the notions of strength and slice rank of homogeneous polynomials. We present three main results. First, we…
