The Erd\H{o}s--Ginzburg--Ziv Problem is a classical extremal problem in discrete geometry. Given $m$ and $n$, the problem asks about the smallest number $s$ such that among any $s$ points in the integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}^n$ one can find…
In difference algebra, summability arises as a basic problem upon which rests the effective solution of other more elaborate problems, such as creative telescoping problems and the computation of Galois groups of difference equations. In…
Analytic and computational methods developed within statistical physics have found applications in numerous disciplines. In this letter, we use such methods to solve a long-standing problem in statistical genetics. The problem, posed by…
Let M be a II_1 factor, A a masa in M and E the unique conditional expectation on A. Under some technical assumptions on the inclusion of A in M, which hold true for any semiregular masa of a separable factor, we show that for every…
We study the generalised Bunce-Deddens algebras and their Toeplitz extensions constructed by Kribs and Solel from a directed graph and a sequence $\omega$ of positive integers. We describe both of these $C^*$-algebras in terms of novel…
Borsuk asked in 1933 if every set of diameter 1 in $R^d$ can be covered by $d+1$ sets of smaller diameter. In 1993, a negative solution, based on a theorem by Frankl and Wilson, was given by Kahn and Kalai. In this paper I will present…
The spin-1/2 Aharonov-Bohm problem is examined in the Galilean limit for the case in which a Coulomb potential is included. It is found that the application of the self-adjoint extension method to this system yields singular solutions only…
We use recent results about linking the number of zeros on algebraic varieties over $\mathbb{C}$, defined by polynomials with integer coefficients, and on their reductions modulo sufficiently large primes to study congruences with products…
A famous result due to Grothendieck asserts that every continuous linear operator from $\ell_{1}$ to $\ell_{2}$ is absolutely $(1,1)$-summing. If $n\geq2,$ however, it is very simple to prove that every continuous $n$-linear operator from…
Inspired by the bad scientist who keeps repeating an experiment 20 times to get a single outcome with $p < 0.05$, we consider matrices $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ whose rows are normalized in $\ell^2$ and for which $2^{-n}\sum_{x \in…
The extended W-algebra of type sl_2 at positive rational level, denoted by M_{p_+,p_-}, is a vertex operator algebra that was originally proposed in [1]. This vertex operator algebra is an extension of the minimal model vertex operator…
A novel theoretical approach to the problem of the compositeness ($X$) of a resonance or bound state is developed on the basis of the expectation values of the number operators of the free particles in the continuum. This formalism is…
Let $P$ denote the $3$-dimensional paraboloid over a finite field of odd characteristic in which $-1$ is not a square. We show that the Fourier extension operator associated with $P$ maps $L^2$ to $L^{r}$ for $r > \frac{32}{9} \approx…
Let \(d_k(p)\) denote the natural density of positive integers whose \(k\)-th smallest prime divisor is \(p\). Erd\H{o}s asked whether, for each fixed \(k\), the sequence \(p\mapsto d_k(p)\) is unimodal as \(p\) ranges over the primes.…
The famous $T1$ theorem for classical Calder\'on-Zygmund operators is a characterisation for their boundedness in $L^{2}$. In the bi-parameter case, on the other hand, the current $T1$ theorem is merely a collection of sufficient…
For coprime nonzero integers $a$ and $b$, a positive integer $\ell$ is said to be {\em good} with respect to $a$ and $b$ if there exists a positive integer $k$ such that $\ell |(a^{k}+b^{k})$. Since the early 1990s, such classical good…
We consider a product of $2 \times 2$ random matrices which appears in the physics literature in the analysis of some 1D disordered models. These matrices depend on a parameter $\epsilon >0$ and on a positive random variable $Z$. Derrida…
For $d \geq 2, \ D \geq 1$, let $\mathscr{P}_{d,D}$ denote the set of all degree $d$ polynomials in $D$ dimensions with real coefficients without linear terms. We prove that for any Calder\'{o}n-Zygmund kernel, $K$, the maximally modulated…
Sequences of discrete random variables are studied whose probability generating functions are zero-free in a sector of the complex plane around the positive real axis. Sharp bounds on the cumulants of all orders are stated, leading to…
If the algebra of the Poincar\'e generators is enlarged by the spacetime position operator $X=(X_0,\dots, X_{D-1})$ then the spectra of the momentum $P$ and the mass $P^2$ are unbounded and continuous. In particular, the constraint $(P^2 -…
