The Waring Problem over polynomial rings asks for how to decompose an homogeneous polynomial of degree $d$ as a finite sum of $d^{th}$ powers of linear forms. First, we give a constructive method to obtain a real Waring decomposition of any…
In this paper we classify certain values of p that satisfy the Erdos-Straus conjecture, concerning the decomposition of fractions of the form 4/n as sum of three fractions with numerator identically equal to 1, not according to their…
The space of weak expectations for a given representation of a (unital) separable C*-algebra is a compact convex set of (unital) completely positive maps in the BW topology, when it is non-empty. An application of the classical Choquet…
Duistermaat introduced the concept of ``real locus'' of a Hamiltonian manifold. In that and in others' subsequent works, it has been shown that many of the techniques developed in the symplectic category can be used to study real loci, so…
We solve Chui's conjecture on the simplest fractions (i.e., sums of Cauchy kernels with unit coefficients) in weighted (Hilbert) Bergman spaces. Namely, for a wide class of weights, we prove that for every $N$, the simplest fractions with…
We explicitly compute the least degree of generators of all symbolic powers of the defining ideal of Fermat-like configuration of lines in $\mathbb{P}^3_\mathbb{C}$, except for the second symbolic powers, where we provide bounds for them.…
We consider the expected value of $\mbox{Tr}(\Theta_C^n)$ where $C$ runs over a thin family of $r$-cyclic covers of $\mathbb{P}^1_{\mathbb{F}_q}$ for any $r$. We obtain many lower order terms dependent on the divisors of $r$. We use these…
We study the collection of first-order logical schemata all of whose instances are theorems of a given theory $T$; we call these the validities of $T$ ($\mathsf{V}(T)$). It is easy to see that if $T$ is a decidable theory, then…
We determine the structure of the singular locus of generic codimension-$q$ logarithmic foliations and its relation with the unfoldings of said foliations. In the case where the ambient variety is the projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ we…
We give an explicit construction of a large subset of F^n, where F is a finite field, that has small intersection with any affine variety of fixed dimension and bounded degree. Our construction generalizes a recent result of Dvir and Lovett…
The bounded orbit conjecture says that every homeomorphism on the plane with each of its orbits being bounded must have a fixed point. Brouwer's translation theorem asserts that the conjecture is true for orientation preserving…
Using multiple Bernoulli series, we give a formula in the spirit of Euler MacLaurin formula. We also give a wall crossing formula and a decomposition formula. The study of these series is motivated by formulae of E.Witten for volumes of…
Suppose that $C$ is a bounded, convex subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$, and that $P_1, \dots, P_k$ are planks which cover $C$ in respective directions $v_1, \dots, v_k$ and with widths $w_1, \dots, w_k$. In 1951, Bang conjectured that the sum of…
Let P be a polygon with rational vertices in the plane. We show that for any finite odd-sized collection of translates of P, the area of the set of points lying in an odd number of these translates is bounded away from 0 by a constant…
We introduce layer systems for proving generalizations of the modularity of confluence for first-order rewrite systems. Layer systems specify how terms can be divided into layers. We establish structural conditions on those systems that…
An MBM locus on a hyperkahler manifold is the union of all deformations of a minimal rational curve with negative self-intersection. MBM loci can be equivalently defined as centers of bimeromorphic contractions. It was shown that the MBM…
We propose conjectural semiorthogonal decompositions for Fano schemes of linear subspaces on intersections of two quadrics, in terms of symmetric powers of the associated hyperelliptic (resp. stacky) curve. When the intersection is…
The classifying space for the framed Haefliger structures of codimension $q$ and class $C^r$ is $(2q-1)$-connected, for $1\le r\le\infty$. The corollaries deal with the existence of foliations, with the homology and the perfectness of the…
The aim of this paper is to describe the irregular locus of the commuting variety of a reductive symmetric Lie algebra. More precisely, we want to enlighten a remark of Popov. In [Po], the irregular locus of the commuting variety of any…
We formulate a classification conjecture for conformally invariant families of measures on simple loops that builds on a conjecture of Kontsevich and Suhov. The main example in this class of objects was constructed by Werner as boundaries…
