Even Artin groups generalize right-angled Artin groups by allowing the labels in the defining graph to be even. In this paper a complete characterization of quasi-projective even Artin groups is given in terms of their defining graphs.…

A result of Wright from 1937 shows that there are arbitrarily large natural numbers which cannot be represented as sums of $s$ $k$th powers of natural numbers which are constrained to lie within a narrow region. We show that the analogue of…

Lattice models with complex actions are important for the understanding of matter at finite densities, but not accessible by the standard Monte Carlo techniques due to the sign problem. Here we derive a new approach for avoiding the complex…

We explore systems of polynomial equations where we seek complex solutions with absolute value 1. Geometrically, this amounts to understanding intersections of algebraic varieties with tori -- Cartesian powers of the unit circle. We study…

It was conjectured by Tits that the only relations amongst the squares of the standard generators of an Artin group are the obvious ones, namely that a^2 and b^2 commute if ab=ba appears as one of the Artin relations. In this paper we prove…

A famous conjecture of Artin asserts that any integer $a$ that is neither $-1$ nor a square should be a primitive root (mod $p$) for a positive proportion of primes $p$. Moreover, using a heuristic argument, Artin guessed an explicit…

We introduce a double power series method for finding approximate analytical solutions for systems of differential equations commonly found in cosmological perturbation theory. The method was set out, in a non-cosmological context, by…

For every integer l bigger than one, we find elements x and y in the mapping class group of an appropriate orientable surface S, satisfying the Artin relation of length l. That is, xyx... = yxy..., where each side of the equality contains l…

K. Mahler introduced the concept of perfect systems in the general theory he developed for the simultaneous Hermite-Pade approximation of analytic functions. We prove that Nikishin systems are perfect providing, by far, the largest class of…

This paper is concerned with the approximation of solutions to a class of second order non linear abstract differential equations. The finite-dimensional approximate solutions of the given system are built with the aid of the projection…

Let R be an excellent local ring, m its maximal ideal and I an ideal. Then there exists a positive integer c such that for all integers n, the integral closure of (I + m^n) is contained in m^(n/c) + the integral closure of I. In the proof,…

We show that for a large class of Artin groups with Dynkin diagrams being a tree, the $K(\pi,1)$-conjecture holds. We also establish the $K(\pi,1)$-conjecture for another class of Artin groups whose Dynkin diagrams contain a cycle, which…

We prove the $K(\pi,1)$ conjecture for affine Artin groups: the complexified complement of an affine reflection arrangement is a classifying space. This is a long-standing problem, due to Arnol'd, Pham, and Thom. Our proof is based on…

Let W: R to (0,1] be continuous. Bernstein's approximation problem, posed in 1924, deals with approximation by polynomials in the weighted uniform norm ||fW|| Linfinity(R) . The qualitative form of this problem was solved by Achieser,…

Fix an integer $g \neq -1$ that is not a perfect square. In 1927, Artin conjectured that there are infinitely many primes for which $g$ is a primitive root. Forty years later, Hooley showed that Artin's conjecture follows from the…

Consider a non-increasing function $\Psi$ from the positive reals to the positive reals with decay $o(1/x)$ as $x$ tends to infinity. Jarnik proved in 1930 that there exist real numbers $\zeta_{1},...,\zeta_{k}$ together with $1$ linearly…

We introduce a method of finding large non-positively curved subcomplexes in certain spherical Deligne complexes, which is effective for studying fillings of certain 6-cycles in spherical Deligne complexes. As applications, we show the…

The celebrated Wedderburn-Artin theorem states that a simple left artinian ring is isomorphic to the ring of matrices over a division ring. We give a short and self-contained proof which avoids the use of modules.

In this paper we construct certain type of near-optimal approximations of a class of analytic functions in the unit disc by power series with two distinct coefficients. More precisely, we show that if all the coefficients of the power…

Feferman proved in 1962 that any arithmetical theorem is a consequence of a suitable transfinite iteration of full uniform reflection of $\mathsf{PA}$. This result is commonly known as Feferman's completeness theorem. The purpose of this…
