We extend some of the results of Agler, Knese, and McCarthy [1] to $n$-tuples of commuting isometries for $n>2$. Let $\mathbb{V}=(V_1,\dots,V_n)$ be an $n$-tuple of a commuting isometries on a Hilbert space and let Ann$(\mathbb{V})$ denote…
A {\em pointed partition} of $n$ is a pair $(\lambda, v)$ where $\lambda\vdash n$ and $v$ is a cell in its Ferrers diagram. We construct an involution on pointed partitions of $n$ exchanging "hook length" and "part length". This gives a…
A permutation is square-free if it does not contain two consecutive factors of length two or more that are order-isomorphic. A square-free permutation of length $n$ is $P$-crucial, where $P$ is a subset of $\{0,1,\ldots,n\}$, if any of its…
We prove that every automorphism of an infinite-dimensional vector space over a field is the product of four involutions, a result that is optimal in the general case. We also characterize the automorphisms that are the product of three…
Eleven different types of "maximally superintegrable" Hamiltonian systems on the real hyperboloid $(s^0)^2-(s^1)^2+(s^2)^2-(s^3)^2=1$ are obtained. All of them correspond to a free Hamiltonian system on the homogeneous space…
We give a classification of the matrices in the unitary group U(1,1;H),where H is the division ring of the real quaternions. To this end, we consider the complex representation phi(P) for P in U(1,1;H). Next, we compute the characteristic…
For a nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems $H=h(p)+\epsilon P(p,q)$ with $(p,q)\in\mathbb{R}^3\times\mathbb{T}^3$, large normally hyperbolic invariant cylinders exist along the whole resonant path, except for the…
We study the modular invariance of $N=2$ superconformal $SU(1,1)$ models. By decomposing the characters of Kazama-Suzuki model $SU(3)/(SU(2)\times U(1))$ into an infinite sum of the characters of $(SU(1,1)/U(1))\times U(1)$ we construct…
In this paper, we explicitly construct large classes of incommensurable hyperbolic knot complements with the same volume and the same initial (complex) length spectrum. Furthermore, we show that these knot complements are the only knot…
We begin an exploration of parametric Backlund transformations for hyperbolic Monge-Ampere systems. We compute invariants for such transformations and explore the behavior of four examples regarding their invariants, symmetries, and…
Commutative complex numbers of the form u=x+\alpha y+\beta z+\gamma t in 4 dimensions are studied, the variables x, y, z and t being real numbers. Four distinct types of multiplication rules for the complex bases \alpha, \beta and \gamma…
Let $S$ be a torus with a hyperbolic metric admitting one puncture or cone singularity. We describe which infinitesimal deformations of $S$ lengthen (or shrink) all closed geodesics. We also study how the answer degenerates when $S$ becomes…
In this paper, we obtain a complete description of the class of n-tuples (n >= 2) of doubly commuting isometries. In particular, we present a several variables analogue of the Wold decomposition for isometries on Hilbert spaces. Our main…
It is shown that the maximum number of patterns that can occur in a permutation of length $n$ is asymptotically $2^n$. This significantly improves a previous result of Coleman.
Our basic result, an isoperimetric inequality for Hamming cube $Q_n$, can be written: \[ \int h_A^\beta d\mu \ge 2 \mu(A)(1-\mu(A)). \] Here $\mu$ is uniform measure on $V=\{0,1\}^n$ ($=V(Q_n)$); $\beta=\log_2(3/2)$; and, for $S\subseteq V$…
Let $P_{n,k}$ be the number of permutations $\pi$ on [n]={1, 2,..., n} such that the length of the longest increasing subsequences of $\pi$ equals k, and let $M_{2n, k}$ be the number of matchings on [2n] with crossing number k. Define…
Functions of hyperbolic type encode representations on real or complex hyperbolic spaces, usually infinite-dimensional. These notes set up the complex case. As applications, we prove the existence of a non-trivial deformation family of…
To an orthogonal or unitary involution on a central simple algebra of degree 4, or to a symplectic involution on a central simple algebra of degree 8, we associate a Pfister form that characterises the decomposability of the algebra with…
If a closed, orientable hyperbolic 3--manifold M has volume at most 1.22 then H_1(M;Z_p) has dimension at most 2 for every prime p not 2 or 7, and H_1(M;Z_2) and H_1(M;Z_7) have dimension at most 3. The proof combines several deep results…
The Upsilon invariant of a knot is a concordance invariant derived from knot Floer homology theory. It is a piecewise linear continuous function defined on the interval $[0,2]$. Borodzik and Hedden gave a question asking for which knots the…
