We construct and classify, in the case of two complex dimensions, the possible tangent cones at points of limit spaces of non-collapsed sequences of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics with cone singularities.
Motivated by the Maximum Theorem for convex functions (in the setting of linear spaces) and for subadditive functions (in the setting of Abelian semigroups), we establish a Maximum Theorem for the class of generalized convex functions,…
Given an elliptic curve $E$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ we study the finite extensions $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ of $\mathbb{F}_q$ such that the number of $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$-rational points on $E$ attains the Hasse upper bound. We obtain an…
Let $M^{(u)}$, $H^{(u)}$ be the maximal operator and Hilbert transform along the parabola $(t, ut^2) $. For $U\subset(0,\infty)$ we consider $L^p$ estimates for the maximal functions $\sup_{u\in U}|M^{(u)} f|$ and $\sup_{u\in U}|H^{(u)}…
In this paper, we establish a new inequality tying together the effective length and the maximum correlation between the outputs of an arbitrary pair of Boolean functions which operate on two sequences of correlated random variables. We…
Using Weil descent, we give bounds for the number of rational points on two families of curves over finite fields with a large abelian group of automorphisms: Artin-Schreier curves of the form $y^q-y=f(x)$ with $f\in\Fqr[x]$, on which the…
The method for approximation of planar curve by circular arcs with length preservation, proposed by I.Kh. Sabitov and A.V. Slovesnov, is analyzed. We extend the applicability of the method, and consider some corollaries, not related to the…
We give necessary and sufficient topological conditions for a simple closed curve on a real rational surface to be approximable by smooth rational curves. We also study approximation by smooth rational curves with given complex…
We study a mixed-integer set $S:=\{(x,t) \in \{0,1\}^n \times \mathbb{R}: f(x) \ge t\}$ arising in the submodular maximization problem, where $f$ is a submodular function defined over $\{0,1\}^n$. We use intersection cuts to tighten a…
In this work, several sharp bounds for the \v{C}eby\v{s}ev functional involving various type of functions are proved. In particular, for the \v{C}eby\v{s}ev functional of two absolutely continuous functions whose first derivatives are both…
We study the vector spaces and integer lattices of cuts and flows associated with an arbitrary finite CW complex, and their relationships to group invariants including the critical group of a complex. Our results extend to higher dimension…
An expression of the multivariate sigma function associated with a (n,s)-curve is given in terms of algebraic integrals. As a corollary the first term of the series expansion around the origin of the sigma function is directly proved to be…
We consider mesh functions which are discrete convex in the sense that their central second order directional derivatives are positive. Analogous to the case of a uniformly bounded sequence of convex functions, we prove that the uniform…
We bound the number of fixed points of an automorphism of a real curve in terms of the genus and the number of connected components of the real part of the curve. Using this bound, we derive some consequences concerning the maximum order of…
We consider the approximation of a continuous function, defined on a compact set of the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space, by sums of two ridge functions. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for such a sum to be a best…
Based on earlier work by Carlen-Maas and the second- and third-named author, we introduce the notion of intertwining curvature lower bounds for graphs and quantum Markov semigroups. This curvature notion is stronger than both Bakry-\'Emery…
We use the Aubry-Perret bound for singular curves, a generalization of the Hasse-Weil bound, to prove the following curious result about rational functions over finite fields: Let $f(X),g(X)\in\Bbb F_q(X)\setminus\{0\}$ be such that $q$ is…
A contractive condition is addressed for extended 2-cyclic self-mappings on the union of a finite number of subsets of a metric space which are allowed to have a finite number of successive images in the same subsets of its domain. It is…
Potential theory on the complement of a subset of the real axis attracts a lot of attention both in function theory and applied sciences. The paper discusses one aspect of the theory - the logarithmic capacity of closed subsets of the real…
A theorem of Wiegerinck asserts that the Bergman space of an open subset of the complex numbers is either infinite-dimensional or trivial. Recently, this has been generalized to holomorphic vector bundles over the projective line by the…
