Let F be a homogeneous real polynomial of even degree in any number of variables. We consider the problem of giving explicit conditions on the coefficients so that F is positive definite or positive semi-definite. In this note we produce a…

We classify one-element extensions of a hyperplane arrangement by the induced adjoint arrangement. Based on the classification, several kinds of combinatorial invariants including Whitney polynomials, characteristic polynomials, Whitney…

We obtain quantitative bounds in the polynomial Szemer\'edi theorem of Bergelson and Leibman, provided the polynomials are homogeneous and of the same degree. Such configurations include arithmetic progressions with common difference equal…

We give some bounds on the anticanonical degrees of Fano varieties with Picard number 1 and mild singularities, extending results of Koll\'ar et al. from the early 90's and improving them even in the smooth case. The proof is based on a…

In this article we study F-pure thresholds (and, more generally, F-thresholds) of homogeneous polynomials in two variables over a field of characteristic p>0. Passing to a field extension, we factor such a polynomial into a product of…

We compute the limits of a class of periodic continued radicals and we establish a connection between them and the fixed points of the Chebycheff polynomials.

Let $X$ be a complex smooth Fano variety of dimension $n$. In this paper, we give a classification of such $X$ when the pseudoindex is equal to $\dfrac{\dim X+1}{2}$ and the Picard number greater than one.

In this paper we are concerned with the Bohnenblust--Hille type inequalities for certain polynomials of bounded degree but of very large number of variables. As the polynomials will be defined on groups, one can think about the problem as…

When $k<n$, we study the coherent systems that come from a BGN extension in which the quotient bundle is strictly semistable. In this case we describe a stratification of the moduli space of coherent systems. We also describe the strata as…

We generalize the recent work of S. Fomin and G. Mikhalkin on polynomial formulas for Severi degrees. The degree of the Severi variety of plane curves of degree d and delta nodes is given by a polynomial in d, provided delta is fixed and d…

Motivated by the observation that the counting function of a certain base-3 colored partition contains the even perfect numbers as a subsequence, we begin by defining a sequence of polynomials in four variables and discuss their properties…

We study matrix three term relations for orthogonal polynomials in two variables constructed from orthogonal polynomials in one variable. Using the three term recurrence relation for the involved univariate orthogonal polynomials, the…

We compute the local coefficient attached to a pair $(\pi_1,\pi_2)$ of supercuspidal (complex) representations of the general linear group using the theory of types and covers \`{a} la Bushnell-Kutzko. In the process, we obtain another…

We evaluate the number of monic polynomials (of arbitrary degree $N$) the zeros of which equal their coefficients when these are allowed to take arbitrary complex values. In the following, we call polynomials with this property {\em…

We provide a direct computation of the $F$-pure threshold of degree four homogeneous polynomial in two variables and, more generally, of certain homogeneous polynomials with four distinct roots. The computation depends on whether the cross…

In this paper we propose and prove an explicit formula for computing the degree of Fano schemes of linear subspaces on general hypersurfaces. The method used here is based on the localization theorem and Bott's residue formula in…

We prove that all smooth Fano threefolds with Picard rank 2 and degree 28 are K-polystable, except for some explicit cases which we describe. We also give a classification of the normal bundle of a rational normal quartic curve in a smooth…

We study here a sequence of secondary measures, so called because the set of secondary polynomials on a given term become orthogonal for the next measure. The main result is a formula making explicit the density of any term of the sequence,…

We study function-valued solutions of a class of stochastic partial differential equations, involving operators with polynomially bounded coefficients. We consider semilinear equations under suitable parabolicity hypotheses. We provide…

The Sidon constant for the index set of nonzero m-homogeneous polynomials P in n complex variables is the supremum of the ratio between the l^1 norm of the coefficients of P and the supremum norm of P in D^n. We present an estimate which…
