An (n,d)-permutation code is a subset C of Sym(n) such that the Hamming distance d_H between any two distinct elements of C is at least equal to d. In this paper, we use the characterisation of the isometry group of the metric space…

A recent result on size functions is extended to higher homology modules: the persistent homology based on a multidimensional measuring function is reduced to a 1-dimensional one. This leads to a stable distance for multidimensional…

Let $H$ be a fixed graph on $v$ vertices. For an $n$-vertex graph $G$ with $n$ divisible by $v$, an $H$-{\em factor} of $G$ is a collection of $n/v$ copies of $H$ whose vertex sets partition $V(G)$. In this paper we consider the threshold…

We give asymptotic large deviations estimates for the volume inside a domain U of the zero set of a random polynomial of degree N, or more generally, of a holomorphic section of the N-th power of a positive line bundle on a compact Kaehler…

We study homological properties of random quadratic monomial ideals in a polynomial ring $R = {\mathbb K}[x_1, \dots x_n]$, utilizing methods from the Erd\"{o}s-R\'{e}nyi model of random graphs. Here for a graph $G \sim G(n, p)$ we consider…

The interplay of minimum degree conditions and structural properties of large graphs with forbidden subgraphs is a central topic in extremal graph theory. For a given graph $F$ we define the homomorphism threshold as the infimum over all…

Comparing vanishing of local cohomology in zero and positive characteristic, we give an example of a D-module on a Grassmann variety in positive characteristic with non-vanishing first cohomology group. This is a counterexample to…

The face numbers of simplicial complexes without missing faces of dimension larger than $i$ are studied. It is shown that among all such $(d-1)$-dimensional complexes with non-vanishing top homology, a certain polytopal sphere has the…

The homology groups of a manifold are important topological invariants that provide an algebraic summary of the manifold. These groups contain rich topological information, for instance, about the connected components, holes, tunnels and…

Suppose that $P$ is a property that may be satisfied by a random code $C \subset \Sigma^n$. For example, for some $p \in (0,1)$, ${P}$ might be the property that there exist three elements of $C$ that lie in some Hamming ball of radius…

For any integers $n\geq 2$ and $1\leq r\leq n-1$ satisfying $3r\geq 2n-1$, we show that the expected volume fraction of a random degree $d$ complex submanifold of $\C\mathbb{P}^n$ of codimension $r$ where the bisectional holomorphic…

We prove a new upper bound for the minimum $d$-degree threshold for perfect matchings in $k$-uniform hypergraphs when $d<k/2$. As a consequence, this determines exact values of the threshold when $0.42k \le d < k/2$ or when $(k,d)=(12,5)$…

How small can a set of vertices in the $n$-dimensional hypercube $Q_n$ be if it meets every copy of $Q_d$? The asymptotic density of such a set (for $d$ fixed and $n$ large) is denoted by $\gamma_d$. It is easy to see that $\gamma_d \leq…

Consider the extreme value of a Bernoulli random walk on the one-dimensional integer lattice, with reflection at 0, over a finite discrete time interval. Only the asymmetric (biased) case is discussed. Asymptotic mean/variance results are…

According to the black hole membrane paradigm, the black hole event horizon behaves like a 2+1 dimensional fluid. The fluid has nonzero momentum density but zero velocity. As a result, it does not respond to tidal forces in the usual way.…

The upper estimate of the percolation threshold of the Bernoulli random field on the hexagonal lattice is found. It is done on the basis of the cluster decomposition. Each term of the decomposition is estimated using the number estimate of…

Barbieri and Hall have argued that threshold effects at the scale of grand-unification wipe out predictions on the SUSY scale, M_S. Using triviality arguments we give upper bounds on ultraheavy particles, while proton stability gives lower…

Multiple-choice load balancing has been a topic of intense study since the seminal paper of Azar, Broder, Karlin, and Upfal. Questions in this area can be phrased in terms of orientations of a graph, or more generally a k-uniform random…

The work deals with the threshold probablity for r-colorability in the binomial model H(n,k,p) of a random k-uniform hypergraph. We prove a lower bound for this threshold which improves the previously known results in the wide range of the…

We study torsion in homology of the random $d$-complex $Y \sim Y_d(n,p)$ experimentally. Our experiments suggest that there is almost always a moment in the process where there is an enormous burst of torsion in homology $H_{d-1}(Y)$. This…
