In the standard model of computing multi-output functions in logspace ($\mathsf{FL}$), we are given a read-only tape holding $x$ and a logarithmic length worktape, and must print $f(x)$ to a dedicated write-only tape. However, there has…

We consider the complexity of counting homomorphisms from an $r$-uniform hypergraph $G$ to a symmetric $r$-ary relation $H$. We give a dichotomy theorem for $r>2$, showing for which $H$ this problem is in FP and for which $H$ it is…

We give an efficient algorithm to strongly refute \emph{semi-random} instances of all Boolean constraint satisfaction problems. The number of constraints required by our algorithm matches (up to polylogarithmic factors) the best-known…

This paper presents a new refutation procedure for multimodular systems of integer constraints that commonly arise when verifying cryptographic protocols. These systems, involving polynomial equalities and disequalities modulo different…

Starting from Borel's description of the mod-2 cohomology of real flag manifolds, we give a minimal presentation of the cohomology ring for semi complete flag manifolds $F_{k,m}:=F(1,\ldots,1,m)$ where $1$ is repeated $k$ times. The…

Let $f$ be a polynomial with integer coefficients whose degree is at least 2. We consider the problem of covering the orbit $\operatorname{Orb}_f(t)=\{t,f(t),f(f(t)),\cdots\}$, where $t$ is an integer, using arithmetic progressions each of…

Let $\mathbf{K}$ be a field and $\phi$, $\mathbf{f} = (f_1, \ldots, f_s)$ in $\mathbf{K}[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ be multivariate polynomials (with $s < n$) invariant under the action of $\mathcal{S}_n$, the group of permutations of $\{1, \dots,…

A monotone CNF formula is a Boolean formula in conjunctive normal form where each variable appears positively. We design a deterministic fully polynomial-time approximation scheme (FPTAS) for counting the number of satisfying assignments…

In this paper, we study the explicit geometry of threefolds, in particular, Fano varieties. We find an explicitly computable positive integer $N$, such that all but a bounded family of Fano threefolds have $N$-complements. This result has…

Let $\mathrm{ex}(n,H,\mathcal{F})$ be the maximum number of copies of $H$ in an $n$-vertex graph which contains no copy of a graph from $\mathcal{F}$. Thinking of $H$ and $\mathcal{F}$ as fixed, we study the asymptotics of…
