We study the connection between topological strings and contact homology recently proposed in the context of knot invariants. In particular, we establish the proposed relation between the Gromov-Witten disk amplitudes of a Lagrangian…

If A is a graded connected algebra then we define a new invariant, polydepth A, which is finite if $Ext_A^*(M,A) \neq 0$ for some A-module M of at most polynomial growth. Theorem 1: If f : X \to Y is a continuous map of finite category, and…

Let $q$ be a prime power. This paper provides a new class of linear codes that arises from the action of the alternating group on $\mathbb F_q[x_1,\dots,x_m]$ combined with the ideas in (M. Datta and T. Johnsen, 2022). Compared with…

Using a relation due to Katz linking up additive and multiplicative convolutions, we make explicit the behaviour of some Hodge invariants by middle multiplicative convolution, following [DS13] and [Mar18a] in the additive case. Moreover,…

An exact Lagrangian submanifold $L$ in the symplectization of standard contact $(2n-1)$-space with Legendrian boundary $\Sigma$ can be glued to itself along $\Sigma$. This gives a Legendrian embedding $\Lambda(L,L)$ of the double of $L$…

For a Lie algebra ${\mathcal L}$ with basis $\{x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_n\}$, its associated characteristic polynomial $Q_{{\mathcal L}}(z)$ is the determinant of the linear pencil $z_0I+z_1\text{ad} x_1+\cdots +z_n\text{ad} x_n.$ This paper shows…

We start with a (q,t)-generalization of a binomial coefficient. It can be viewed as a polynomial in t that depends upon an integer q, with combinatorial interpretations when q is a positive integer, and algebraic interpretations when q is…

Let $F_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements and $F_q[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ the ring of polynomials in $n$ variables over $F_q$. In this paper we consider permutation polynomials and local permutation polynomials over $F_q[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$,…

Theory is developed for linear-quadratic at infinity generating families for Legendrian knots in R^3. It is shown that the unknot with maximal Thurston--Bennequin invariant of -1 has a unique linear-quadratic at infinity generating family,…

We study the integral, rational, and modular Alexander invariants, as well as the cohomology jump loci of groups arising as extensions with trivial algebraic monodromy. Our focus is on extensions of the form $1\to K\to G\to Q\to 1$, where…

We prove that a customary Sturm-Liouville form of second-order $q$-difference equation for the continuous $q$-ultraspherical polynomials $C_n(x;\beta| q)$ of Rogers can be written in a factorized form in terms of some explicitly defined…

In this paper, we obtain some estimations of the saddle order which is the sole topological invariant of the non-integrable resonant saddles of planar polynomial vector fields of arbitrary degree $n$. Firstly, we prove that, for any given…

In this paper, we show that for any projective klt pair $(X,\Delta)$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(0\) and any big $\mathbb{Q}$-Cartier $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor $L$ on $X$, the invariants $\alpha(X,\Delta,L)$ and…

We use tools of additive combinatorics for the study of subvarieties defined by {\it high rank} families of polynomials in high dimensional $\mathbb{F} _q$-vector spaces. In the first, analytic part of the paper we prove a number properties…

Let $q\in(1,2)$; it is known that each $x\in[0,1/(q-1)]$ has an expansion of the form $x=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_nq^{-n}$ with $a_n\in\{0,1\}$. It was shown in \cite{EJK} that if $q<(\sqrt5+1)/2$, then each $x\in(0,1/(q-1))$ has a continuum of…

We give an upper bound in O(d ^((n+1)/2)) for the number of critical points of a normal random polynomial with degree d and at most n variables. Using the large deviation principle for the spectral value of large random matrices we obtain…

From Koornwinder's interpretation of big $q$-Legendre polynomials as spherical elements on the quantum $SU(2)$ group an addition formula is derived for the big $q$-Legendre polynomial. The formula involves Al-Salam--Carlitz polynomials,…

The work proves that, for three-dimensional upper triangular groups over a field of odd characteristic with an abelian unipotent subgroup, the ring of invariants is polynomial if and only if the unipotent subgroup is generated by…

Consider the interval of integers $I_{m,n} = \{m, m+1, m+2,\ldots, m+n-1 \}$. For fixed integers $h,k,m$, and $c$, let $\Phi_{h,k,m}^{(c)}(n)$ denote the number of solutions of the equation $(a_1+\cdots + a_h)- (a_{h+1} + \cdots +…
