Two themes associated with invariant measures on the matrix groups ${\rm SL}_N(\mathbb F)$, with $\mathbb F = \mathbb R, \mathbb C$ or $\mathbb H$, and their corresponding lattices parametrised by ${\rm SL}_N(\mathbb F)/{\rm SL}_N(\mathbb…
We prove a normalized version of the restricted invertibility principle obtained by Spielman-Srivastava. Applying this result, we get a new proof of the proportional Dvoretzky-Rogers factorization theorem recovering the best current…
A conjecture of Bombieri states that the coefficients of a normalized univalent function $f$ should satisfy $$ \liminf_{f\to K} \frac{n-{\rm Re\,}a_n}{m-{\rm Re\,}a_m} = \min_{t\in{\mathbb R}} \, \frac{n\sin t -\sin(nt)}{m\sin t -\sin(mt)},…
We develop a class of minimax estimators for a normal mean matrix under the Frobenius loss, which generalizes the James--Stein and Efron--Morris estimators. It shrinks the Schatten norm towards zero and works well for low-rank matrices. We…
We show that under minimal assumptions on a class of functions $\mathcal{H}$ defined on a probability space $(\mathcal{X},\mu)$, there is a threshold $\Delta_0$ satisfying the following: for every $\Delta\geq\Delta_0$, with probability at…
Litvak (2018) conjectured that, for any $p > 0$, the quantity $\mathbb{E}[\min_{i = 1}^n |g_i|^p]$ where $g \sim \mathcal{N}(0, \Sigma)$ is a centered Gaussian random vector is minimized among $n \times n$ correlation matrices $\Sigma$ by…
P. Erd\H{o}s conjectured in 1962 that on the ring $\mathbb{Z}$, every set of $n$ congruence classes in $\mathbb{Z}$ that covers the first $2^n$ positive integers also covers the ring $\mathbb{Z}$. This conjecture was first confirmed in 1970…
Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety defined on a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. On $X$ there is a special morphism $Fr_X$, which raises coordinates to exponent $q$: $t\mapsto t^q$. The two main results in this paper are: Result 1: If…
Let f be a polynomial with irrational leading coefficient. We obtain inequalities for the distance from the nearest integer of f(p) that hold for infinitely many primes p. These results improve work of Harman in 1981 and 1983 and Wong in…
In this work, we consider a finitely determined, quasihomogeneous, corank 1 map germ $f$ from $(\mathbb{C}^2,0)$ to $(\mathbb{C}^3,0)$. We introduce the concept of the $\mu_{\mathbf{m},\mathbf{k}}$-minimal transverse slice of $f$}. Since…
The k-monotone classes of densities defined on (0, \infty) have been known in the mathematical literature but were for the first time considered from a statistical point of view by Balabdaoui and Wellner (2007, 2010). In these works, the…
B.-Y. Chen famously conjectured that every submanifold of Euclidean space with harmonic mean curvature vector is minimal. In this note we establish a much more general statement for a large class of submanifolds satisfying a growth…
De Loera, O'Neill and Wilburne introduced a general model for random numerical semigroups in which each positive integer is chosen independently with some probability p to be a generator, and proved upper and lower bounds on the expected…
It is shown that Schr\"odinger maximal inequalities over fractals are equivalent to the $L^2$ decay rates of Fourier transforms of fractal measures over the paraboloid. A similar connection is shown between the wave equation and cone…
Tseng's forward-backward-forward algorithm is a valuable alternative for Korpelevich's extragradient method when solving variational inequalities over a convex and closed set governed by monotone and Lipschitz continuous operators, as it…
The celebrated Mason's conjecture states that the sequence of independent set numbers of any matroid is log-concave, and even ultra log-concave. The strong form of Mason's conjecture was independently solved by Anari, Liu, Oveis Gharan and…
This note presents a new proof of an important result due to Bourgain and Tzafriri that provides a partial solution to the Kadison--Singer problem. The result shows that every unit-norm matrix whose entries are relatively small in…
A standard bilinear $L^2$ Strichartz estimate for the wave equation, which underlies the theory of $X^{s,b}$ spaces of Bourgain and Klainerman-Machedon, asserts (roughly speaking) that if two finite-energy solutions to the wave equation are…
Drori and Teboulle [4] conjectured that the minimax optimal constant stepsize for N steps of gradient descent is given by the stepsize that balances performance on Huber and quadratic objective functions. This was numerically supported by…
In 1982, Lagarias showed that solving the approximate Shortest Vector Problem also solves the problem of finding good simultaneous Diophantine approximations. Here we provide a deterministic, dimension-preserving reduction in the reverse…
