A matrix convex set is a set of the form $\mathcal{S} = \cup_{n\geq 1}\mathcal{S}_n$ (where each $\mathcal{S}_n$ is a set of $d$-tuples of $n \times n$ matrices) that is invariant under UCP maps from $M_n$ to $M_k$ and under formation of…

A basic measure of the combinatorial complexity of a convexity space is its Radon number. In this paper we show a fractional Helly theorem for convexity spaces with a bounded Radon number, answering a question of Kalai. As a consequence we…

We prove that if a family of compact connected sets in the plane has the property that every three members of it are intersected by a line, then there are three lines intersecting all the sets in the family. This answers a question of…

Let $\mbox{$\cal F$}\subseteq 2^{[n]}$ be a fixed family of subsets. Let $D(\mbox{$\cal F$})$ stand for the following set of Hamming distances: $$ D(\mbox{$\cal F$}):=\{d_H(F,G):~ F, G\in \mbox{$\cal F$},\ F\neq G\}. $$ $\mbox{$\cal F$}$ is…

Bands of vector-valued functions $f:T\mapsto\mathbb{R}^d$ are defined by considering convex hulls generated by their values concatenated at $m$ different values of the argument. The obtained $m$-bands are families of functions, ranging from…

The concept of depth represents methods to measure how deep an arbitrary point is positioned in a dataset and can be seen as the opposite of outlyingness. It has proved very useful and a wide range of methods have been developed based on…

A family of sets has the $(p,q)$ property if among any $p$ members of the family some $q$ have a nonempty intersection. It is shown that for every $p\ge q\ge d+1$ there is a $c=c(p,q,d)<\infty$ such that for every family $\scr F$ of…

Why and when does depth improve generalization? We study this question in an implementation-agnostic state-transition model, where a depth-$k$ predictor is a readout class $H$ composed with the word ball $B(k,F)$ generated by hidden state…

In the present paper, we introduce a new concept of convexity which is generated by a family of endomorphisms of an Abelian group. In Abelian groups equipped with a translation invariant metric, we define the boundedness, the norm, the…

This paper studies how to generalize Tukey's depth to problems defined in a restricted space that may be curved or have boundaries, and to problems with a nondifferentiable objective. First, using a manifold approach, we propose a broad…

We define and study a variant of the \emph{Stanley depth} which we call \emph{total depth} for partially ordered sets (posets). This total depth is the most natural variant of Stanley depth from $\llbracket S_k\rrbracket$ -- the poset of…

Let $K\subseteq{\mathbb R}^n$ be a convex semialgebraic set. The semidefinite extension degree ${\mathrm{sxdeg}}(K)$ of $K$ is the smallest number $d$ such that $K$ is a linear image of an intersection of finitely many spectrahedra, each of…

A simplicial complex $X$ is said to be tight with respect to a field $\mathbb{F}$ if $X$ is connected and, for every induced subcomplex $Y$ of $X$, the linear map $H_\ast (Y; \mathbb{F}) \rightarrow H_\ast (X; \mathbb{F})$ (induced by the…

The depth of a subgroup $H$ of a finite group $G$ is a positive integer defined with respect to the inclusion of the corresponding complex group algebras $\mathbb{C}H \subseteq \mathbb{C}G$. This notion was originally introduced by Boltje,…

Let $C$ be a compact convex subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$, $f:C\to\mathbb{R}$ be a convex function, and $m\in\{1, 2, ..., \infty\}$. Assume that, along with $f$, we are given a family of polynomials satisfying Whitney's extension condition for…

In this article we show the following result: if $C$ is an $n$-dimensional convex and compact subset, $f:C\rightarrow[0,\infty)$ is concave, and $\phi:[0,\infty)\rightarrow[0,\infty)$ is a convex function with $\phi(0)=0$, we then…

Given a Borel measure $\mu$ on ${\mathbb R}^{n}$, we define a convex set by \[ M({\mu})=\bigcup_{\substack{0\le f\le1,\\ \int_{{\mathbb R}^{n}}f\,{\rm d}{\mu}=1 } }\left\{ \int_{{\mathbb R}^{n}}yf\left(y\right)\,{\rm…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field and $S=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over $\mathbb{K}$. Let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices. Assume that $I=I(G)$ is the edge ideal of $G$ and $J=J(G)$ is its cover ideal. We…

In this paper, we use type theory to construct a family of depth $\frac{1}{N}$ minimax supercuspidal representations of $\text{GL}(2N, F)$ which we call middle supercuspidal representations. These supercuspidals may be viewed as a natural…
