We prove a pair of sharp reverse isoperimetric inequalities for domains in nonpositively curved surfaces: (1) metric disks centered at the vertex of a Euclidean cone of angle at least $2\pi$ have minimal area among all nonpositively curved…
Diagonalizing a matrix $A$, that is finding two matrices $P$ and $D$ such that $A = PDP^{-1}$ with $D$ being a diagonal matrix needs two steps: first find the eigenvalues and then find the corresponding eigenvectors. We show that we do not…
We consider the action on $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ by cyclic permutations ($\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$). Two elements $x, y\in \mathbb{F}_2^n$ are in the same orbit if they are cyclic shifts of each other. Cryptographic properties of rotation…
We show that a topologically minimal disk in a tetrahedron with index $n$ is either a normal triangle, a normal quadrilateral, or a normal helicoid with boundary length 4(n+1). This mirrors geometric results of Colding and Minicozzi.
Let $A_n$ be an $n\times n$ matrix with iid entries distributed as Bernoulli random variables with parameter $p = p_n$. Rudelson and Tikhomirov, in a beautiful and celebrated paper, show that the distribution of eigenvalues of $A_n \cdot…
We prove that there is a universal measure on the unit circle such that any probability measure on the unit disk is the limit distribution of some subsequence of the corresponding orthogonal polynomials. This follows from an extension of a…
Fix positive numbers $\alpha$ and $\beta$. For the family of doubly cyclic matrices of the form $diag(a_1, a_2, ... ,a_n) - diag(b_1, b_2, ... ,b_n) \Sigma_*$, where $\Sigma_*$ is a permutation matrix for the $n$-cycle $1 \to 2$, $2 \to 3$,…
Random matrices formed from i.i.d. standard real Gaussian entries have the feature that the expected number of real eigenvalues is non-zero. This property persists for products of such matrices, independently chosen, and moreover it is…
We study the properties of the eigenvalues of real random matrices and their products. It is known that when the matrix elements are Gaussian-distributed independent random variables, the fraction of real eigenvalues tends to unity as the…
We study the eigenvalue distribution of a large Jordan block subject to a small random Gaussian perturbation. A result by E.B. Davies and M. Hager shows that as the dimension of the matrix gets large, with probability close to $1$, most of…
In this paper, by introducing a class of relaxed filtered Krylov subspaces, we propose the relaxed filtered Krylov subspace method for computing the eigenvalues with the largest real parts and the corresponding eigenvectors of non-symmetric…
In this article, we propose a few sufficient conditions on polynomials having integer coefficients all of whose zeros lie outside a closed disc centered at the origin in the complex plane and deduce the irreducibility over the ring of…
The Faber-Krahn inequality in $\mathbb{R}^2$ states that among all open bounded sets of given area the disk minimizes the first Dirichlet Laplacian eigenvalue. There are numerical evidences that for all $N\ge 3$ the first Dirichlet…
Let G be a Lie group, $g = Lie(G)$ - its Lie algebra, $g*$ - the dual vector space and $\widehat G$ - the set of equivalence classes of unitary irreducible representations of $G$. The orbit method [1] establishes a correspondence between…
Logarithmic superfluid theory of physical vacuum suggests that gravity has a multiple-scale structure; where one can recognize sub-Newtonian, Newtonian, logarithmic, linear and quadratic (de Sitter) terms in the induced spacetime metric and…
For a singular probability measure $\mu$ on the circle, we show the existence of positive matrices on the unit disc which admit a boundary representation on the unit circle with respect to $\mu$. These positive matrices are constructed in…
Representations of nonnegative polynomials as sums of squares are central to real algebraic geometry and the subject of active research. The sum-of-squares representations of a given polynomial are parametrized by the convex body of…
There is apparently a widespread belief that the gravitational field (and subsequently the rotation curve) ``inside'' razor-thin, axially symmetric disks can not be determined accurately from elliptic integrals because of the singular…
In these notes, we consider the problem of finding the logarithm or the square root of a real matrix. It is known that for every real n x n matrix, A, if no real eigenvalue of A is negative or zero, then A has a real logarithm, that is,…
Eigenvectors of tensors, as studied recently in numerical multilinear algebra, correspond to fixed points of self-maps of a projective space. We determine the number of eigenvectors and eigenvalues of a generic tensor, and we show that the…
