In this note we draw a connection between noncommutative algebra and geometric group theory. Specifically, we ask whether it is possible to bound the sequence of codimensions for an associative PI-algebra using techniques from geometric…
A celebrated theorem of Pimsner states that a covariant representation $T$ of a $C^*$-correspondence $E$ extends to a $C^*$-representation of the Toeplitz algebra of $E$ if and only if $T$ is isometric. This paper is mainly concerned with…
A 1993 result of Alon and F\"uredi gives a sharp upper bound on the number of zeros of a multivariate polynomial over an integral domain in a finite grid, in terms of the degree of the polynomial. This result was recently generalized to…
Let $X \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ be an algebraic variety, and let $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ be a discrete subgroup whose real and complex spans agree. We describe the topological closure of the image of $X$ in $\mathbb{C}^n / \Lambda$,…
We prove that for some universal $c$, a non-collinear set of $N>\frac{1}{c}$ points in the Euclidean plane determines at least $c \frac{N}{\log N}$ distinct areas of triangles with one vertex at the origin, as well as at least $c…
In the area of symbolic-numerical computation within computer algebra, an interesting question is how "close" a random input is to the "critical" ones, like the singular matrices in linear algebra or the polynomials with multiple roots for…
We prove several analogs of Gromov's macroscopic dimension conjecture with extra curvature assumptions. More explicitly, we show that for an open Riemannian $n$-manifold $(M,g)$ of nonnegative Ricci (resp. sectional) curvature, if it has…
We give an overview of recent progress around a problem introduced by Elekes and R\'onyai. The prototype problem is to show that a polynomial $f\in \mathbb{R}[x,y]$ has a large image on a Cartesian product $A\times B\subset \mathbb{R}^2$,…
We prove that there exists essentially one {\it minimal} differential algebra of distributions $\A$, satisfying all the properties stated in the Schwartz impossibility result [L. Schwartz, Sur l'impossibilit\'e de la multiplication des…
We prove the first inverse theorem for point--sphere incidence bounds over finite fields in dimensions $d \ge 3$, showing that near-extremality forces algebraic rigidity. While sharp upper bounds have been known for over a decade, the…
The existence of finite dimensional central division algebras with no maximal subfield that is Galois over the center (called noncrossed products), was for a time the biggest open problem in the theory of division algebras, before it was…
We prove that the category of $\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n$-manifolds has all finite products. Further, we show that a $\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n$-manifold (resp., a $\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n$-morphism) can be reconstructed from its algebra of global $\mathbb{Z}_2…
We show, under some natural conditions, that the set of abelian points on the non-anomalous subset of a closed irreducible subvariety $X$ intersected with the union of connected algebraic subgroups of codimension at least $\dim X$ in a…
In their paper proving the Hirsch bound for flag normal simplicial complexes (Math. Oper.~Res.~2014) Adiprasito and Benedetti define the notion of~\emph{combinatorial segment}. The study of the maximal length of these objects provides the…
Let A be an abelian variety defined over a number field K, the number of torsion points rational over a finite extension L is bounded polynomially in terms of the degree [L : K]. When A is isogenous to a product of simple abelian varieties…
Let $X\subset\A^{2r}$ be a real curve embedded into an even-dimensional affine space. In the main result of this paper, we characterise when the r-th secant variety to $X$ is an irreducible component of the algebraic boundary of the convex…
Any $(d+1)$-dimensional CFT with a $U(1)$ flavor symmetry, a BPS bound and an exactly marginal coupling admits a decoupling limit in which one zooms in on the spectrum close to the bound. This limit is an In\"on\"u-Wigner contraction of…
We show that a modular unit on two copies of the upper half-plane is a Borcherds product if and only if its boundary divisor is a special boundary divisor. Therefore, we define a subspace of the space of invariant vectors for the Weil…
For every $n \geq 1$, we present examples of algebras $A$ having dominant dimension $n$, such that the algebra $B=End_A(I_0 \oplus \Omega^{-n}(A))$ has dominant dimension different from $n$, where $I_0$ is the injective hull of $A$. This…
We extend to the case of a $d$-dimensional compact connected oriented Riemannian manifold $\mathcal M$ the theorem of A. Bondarenko, D. Radchenko and M. Viazovska on the existence of $L$-designs consisting of $N$ nodes, for any $N\ge…
