Using recent results of the second author which explicitly identify the "$(1,2,1,2)$-avoiding" $GL(p,\mathbb{C}) \times GL(q,\mathbb{C})$-orbit closures on the flag manifold $GL(p+q,\mathbb{C})/B$ as certain Richardson varieties, we give…

The first integrals of the Kepler problem are used to compute preliminary orbits starting from two short observed arcs of a celestial body, which may be obtained either by optical or radar observations. We write polynomial equations for…

We prove (and improve) the Muir-Suffridge conjecture for holomorphic convex maps. Namely, let $F:\mathbb B^n\to \mathbb C^n$ be a univalent map from the unit ball whose image $D$ is convex. Let $\mathcal S\subset \partial \mathbb B^n$ be…

In this paper we study the Grassmannian of submodules of a given dimension inside a finitely generated projective module $P$ for a finite dimensional algebra $\Lambda$ over an algebraically closed field. The orbit of such a submodule $C$…

The discrete unitary (reversible) analogues of the continuous (irreversible) tent maps are numerically investigated, in particular, the lengths probability distribution of their periodic orbits. It is found that its density can be well…

For a linear group $G$ acting on an absolutely irreducible variety $X$ over the rationals $\QQ$, we describe the orbits of $X(\QQ_p)$ under $G(\QQ_p)$ and of $X(\FF_p((t)))$ under $G(\FF_p((t)))$ for $p$ big enough. This allows us to show…

We prove that for a dominant rational self-map $f$ on a quasi-projective variety defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, there is a point whose $f$-orbit is well-defined and its arithmetic degree is arbitrarily close to the first dynamical…

Let $\G$ be a semisimple algebraic group defined over a number field $K$, $\te$ a maximal $K$-split torus of $\G$, $\mathcal{S}$ a finite set of valuations of $K$ containing the archimedean ones, $\OO$ the ring of $\mathcal{S}$-integers of…

Given a function field $K$ and $\phi \in K[x]$, we study two finiteness questions related to iteration of $\phi$: whether all but finitely many terms of an orbit of $\phi$ must possess a primitive prime divisor, and whether the Galois…

\begin{abstract} In this paper, we partly solve the generalized Khavinson conjecture in the setting of hyperbolic harmonic mappings in Hardy space. Assume that $u=\mathcal{P}_{\Omega}[\phi]$ and $\phi\in L^{p}(\partial\Omega, \mathbb{R})$,…

We give a class of examples of $A$-hypergeometric systems that display integrality of mirror maps. Specifically, these systems have solutions $F(\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_N) = 1$ and $\log\lambda^l + G(\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_N)$ (for certain…

We provide a number of new conjectures and questions concerning the syzygies of $\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1$. The conjectures are based on computing the graded Betti tables and related data for large number of different embeddings of…

Consider a piecewise affine Lipschitz map $\phi : \Omega \to \mathbb R$, where $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^d$ is an open set, and assume that $x \mapsto x + t \nabla \phi(x)$ is injective for almost every $t > 0$. In (J.-G. Liu, R.~L. Pego,…

For any integer $d \geq 1$, we verify the Jacobian Conjecture for a $d$-linear map in two variables. We prove that almost all the coefficients of the formal inverse are in the ideal specified by the Jacobian condition. We find expressions…

Let $G$ be a connected compact Lie group, and let $M$ be a connected Hamiltonian $G$-manifold with equivariant moment map $\phi$. We prove that if there is a simply connected orbit $G\cdot x$, then $\pi_1(M)\cong\pi_1(M/G)$; if additionally…

We provide a self-contained proof to so-called Martio's conjecture in the class of mappings of bounded length distortion. Unlike the earlier proofs, our proof is not based on the modulus of continuity estimate of Martio from 1970.

In this paper we provide extensions of the $\lambda$-Lemma (also known as Inclination Lemma) for piecewise smooth vector fields and maps. In order to achieve our main result, we investigate the regularity of time-T-maps of piecewise smooth…

We show that Lieb's concavity theorem holds more generally for any unitarily invariant matrix function $\phi:\mathbf{H}^n_+\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ that is monotone and concave. Concretely, we prove the joint concavity of the function $(A,B)…

We extend the results of Kottwitz on points of Shimura varieties over finite fields to cases of bad reduction. The "test function" whose twisted orbital integrals appear in the final expression is defined geometrically using deformation…

We establish Thom's jet transversality theorem for regular maps from an affine algebraic manifold to an algebraic manifold satisfying a suitable flexibility condition. It can be considered as the algebraic version of Forstneri\v{c}'s jet…
