In this paper, we give a new constructive proof of the semi-orthogonal decomposition of the derived category of (quasi)-coherent sheaves of root stacks, through an explicit resolution of the diagonal.
Let $\mathscr{Q}(m,q)$ and $\mathscr{S}(m,q)$ be the sets of quadratic forms and symmetric bilinear forms on an $m$-dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{F}_q$, respectively. The orbits of $\mathscr{Q}(m,q)$ and $\mathscr{S}(m,q)$ under a…
We extend the Gallot-Tanno Theorem to closed pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. It is done by showing that if the cone over a manifold admits a parallel symmetric $(0,2)-$tensor then it is Riemannian. Applications of this result to the existence…
A $t$-fold blocking set of the finite Desarguesian plane $\mathrm{PG}(2,p^n)$, $p$ prime, is a set of points meeting each line of the plane in at least $t$ points. The minimum size of such sets is of interest for numerous reasons; however,…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of order $q$. Iosevich and Rudnev (2005) proved that for any set $A\subset \mathbb{F}_q^d$, if $|A|\gg q^{\frac{d+1}{2}}$, then the distance set $\Delta(A)$ contains a positive proportion of all…
This paper deals with the behavior of the periodic Gagliardo seminorm under two types of rearrangements, namely under a periodic, and respectively a cylindrical, symmetric decreasing rearrangement. Our two main results are P\'olya-Szeg\H{o}…
Bivariate generating functions for various subsets of the class of permutations containing no descending sequence of length three or more are determined. The notion of absolute indecomposability of a permutation is introduced, and used in…
A $t$-semiarc is a pointset ${\cal S}_t$ with the property that the number of tangent lines to ${\cal S}_t$ at each of its points is $t$. We show that if a small $t$-semiarc ${\cal S}_t$ in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q)$ has a large collinear subset…
We show that plane bipolar posets (i.e., plane bipolar orientations with no transitive edge) and transversal structures can be set in correspondence to certain (weighted) models of quadrant walks, via suitable specializations of a bijection…
We obtain a polynomial upper bound in the finite-field version of the multidimensional polynomial Szemer\'{e}di theorem for distinct-degree polynomials. That is, if $P_1, ..., P_t$ are nonconstant integer polynomials of distinct degrees and…
In this paper, a semigroup algebra consisting of polynomial expressions with coefficients in a field $F$ and exponents in an additive submonoid $M$ of $\mathbb{Q}_{\ge 0}$ is called a Puiseux algebra and denoted by $F[M]$. Here we study the…
Consider the Laguerre polynomials and deform them by the introduction in the measure of an exponential singularity at zero. In [Chen Y., Its A., J. Approx. Theory 162 (2010), 270-297, arXiv:0808.3590] the authors proved that this…
The aim of this survey is to outline the state of the art in research on a class of linearized polynomials with coefficients over finite fields, known as scattered polynomials. These have been studied in several contexts, such as in [A.…
In this paper, we give a partial solution to a new isomorphism problem about $2$-$(v,k,k-1)$ designs from disjoint difference families in finite fields and Galois rings. Our results are obtained by carefully calculating and bounding some…
We prove that, under certain conditions on the function pair $\varphi_1$ and $\varphi_2$, bilinear average $p^{-1}\sum_{y\in \mathbb{F}_p}f_1(x+\varphi_1(y)) f_2(x+\varphi_2(y))$ along curve $(\varphi_1, \varphi_2)$ satisfies certain decay…
In the problem of semialgebraic range searching, we are to preprocess a set of points in $\mathbb{R}^D$ such that the subset of points inside a semialgebraic region described by $O(1)$ polynomial inequalities of degree $\Delta$ can be found…

In this paper, we establish the existence of O'Nan configurations in all nonclassical ovoidal Buekenhout-Metz unitals in $\text{PG}(2,q^2)$.
We characterise contractivity, boundedness and polynomial boundedness for a C_0-semigroup on a Banach space in terms of its cogenerator V (or the Cayley transform of the generator) or its resolvent. In particular, we extend results of…
B. Poonen recently produced smooth threefolds over a number field which do not have a rational point but have no Brauer-Manin obstruction even after descent to a finite 'etale cover. In this note I show that the varieties he produces have…
