In this short note we discuss the exceptional locus for the Lang-Vojta's conjecture in the case of the complement of two completely reducible hyperplane sections in a cubic surface. Using elementary methods, we show that generically the…

We find previously unknown families of sets which ensure Frankl's conjecture holds for all families that contain them using an algorithmic framework. The conjecture states that for any nonempty union-closed (UC) family there exists an…

Using the results of Dalla Piazza, Fiorentino and Salvati Manni, we determine an explicit modular form defining the locus of plane quartics with a hyperflex among all plane quartics. As a result, we provide a direct way to compute the…

The covering type of a space $X$ is defined as the minimal cardinality of a good cover of a space that is homotopy equivalent to $X$. We derive estimates for the covering type of $X$ in terms of other invariants of $X$, namely the ranks of…

Waring's classical problem deals with expressing every natural number as a sum of g(k) k-th powers. Recently there has been considerable interest in similar questions for nonabelian groups, and simple groups in particular. Here the k-th…

The Matrix Waring problem is if we can write every matrix as a sum of $k$-th powers. Here, we look at the same problem for triangular matrix algebra $T_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$ consisting of upper triangular matrices over a finite field. We prove…

Fici, Restivo, Silva, and Zamboni define a $k$-antipower to be a word composed of $k$ pairwise distinct, concatenated words of equal length. Berger and Defant conjecture that for any sufficiently well-behaved aperiodic morphic word $w$,…

In this article we obtain the classification of the congruences of lines with one-dimensional focal locus. It turns out that one can restrict to study the case of $\mathbb{P}^3$.

We generalize a recent result of Clausen: For a number field with integers O, we compute the K-theory of locally compact O-modules. For the rational integers this recovers Clausen's result as a special case. Our method of proof is quite…

Coincident root loci are subvarieties of $S^d(C^2)$--the space of binary forms of degree $d$--labelled by partitions of $d$. Given a partition $\lambda$, let $X_\lambda$ be the set of forms with root multiplicity corresponding to $\lambda$.…

Let $C$ be a smooth irreducible irreducible projective curve of genus $g \ge 2$. Let $\mathcal{M}_C(n, \delta)$ be the moduli space of semi-stable vector bundles on $C$ of rank $n$ and fixed determinant $\delta$ of degree $d$. Then the…

A fake wedge is a diagram of spaces K <- A -> C whose double mapping cylinder is contractible. The terminology stems from the special case A = K v C with maps given by the projections. In this paper, we study the homotopy type of the moduli…

We apply the method of multiple Dirichlet series to develop $L$-functions ratios conjecture with one shift in both the numerator and denominator in certain ranges for the family of quartic Hecke $L$-functions of prime moduli over the…

We develop Lie theory in the category $\text{Ver}_4^+$ over a field of characteristic 2, the simplest tensor category which is not Frobenius exact, as a continuation of arXiv:2406.10201. We provide a conceptual proof that an operadic Lie…

We study minimally Terracini finite sets of points in the projective plane and we prove that the sequence of the cardinalities of minimally Terracini sets can have any number of gaps for degree great enough.

A Sturmian word is a map W from the natural numbers into {0,1} for which the set of {0,1}-vectors F_n(W):={(W(i),W(i+1),...,W(i+n-1))^T : i \ge 0} has cardinality exactly n+1 for each positive integer n. Our main result is that the volume…

We prove a compactness result for gradient flow lines in a general set-up which comprises both the situation of Morse gradient flow lines as well as Floer cylinders converging to a critical submanifold respectively. For the compactness…

This paper provides insights into the role of symmetry in studying polynomial functions vanishing to high order on an algebraic variety. The varieties we study are singular loci of hyperplane arrangements in projective space, with emphasis…

In this paper, we classify the class of constant weighted curvature curves in the plane with a log-linear density, or in other words, classify all traveling curved fronts with a constant forcing term in $\Bbb R^2.$ The classification gives…

We consider four dimensional Lie groups with left-invariant Riemannian metrics. For such groups we classify left-invariant conformal foliations with minimal leaves of codimension two. These foliations produce local complex-valued harmonic…
