Let $\Omega_n$ denote the class of $n \times n$ doubly stochastic matrices (each such matrix is entrywise nonnegative and every row and column sum is 1). We study the diagonals of matrices in $\Omega_n$. The main question is: which $A \in…

Let F : P^n --> P^n be a morphism of degree d > 1 defined over C. The dynamical Mordell--Lang conjecture says that the intersection of an orbit O_F(P) and a subvariety X of P^n is usually finite. We consider the number of linear…

We prove that if $n$ closed disks $D_1, D_2, ..., D_n$, of the Riemann sphere are spectral sets for a bounded linear operator $A$ on a Hilbert space, then their intersection $D_1\cap D_2...\cap D_n$ is a complete $K$-spectral set for $A$,…

We examine bound orbits of particles around singly rotating black rings. We show that there exist stable bound orbits in toroidal spiral shape near the axis of the ring, and also exist stable circular orbits on the axis as special cases.…

We study the orbits of a polynomial f in C[X], namely the sets {e,f(e),f(f(e)),...} with e in C. We prove that if nonlinear complex polynomials f and g have orbits with infinite intersection, then f and g have a common iterate. More…

In this note we complete the calculation of the number of $GL(\mathbb R^n)$-orbits on $\Lambda^k(\mathbb R^n)^*$, by treating the cases $(n,k)= (7,4)$ and $(8,5)$ not covered in the literature. We also calculate the number of of…

We study an action of ${\rm Aut}(F_n)$ on $\mathbb{R}^{2^n-1}$ by trace maps, defined using the traces of $n$-tuples of matrices in $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ having real traces. We determine the finite orbits for this action. These orbits…

Let \Gamma be a lattice in G=SL(n,R) and X=G/S a homogeneous space of G, where S is a closed subgroup of G which contains a real algebraic subgroup H such that G/H is compact. We establish uniform distribution of orbits of \Gamma in X…

Let $S$ be the multiplicative semigroup of $q\times q$ matrices with positive entries such that every row and every column contains a strictly positive element. Denote by $(X_n)_{n\geq1}$ a sequence of independent identically distributed…

Circle geometries are incidence structures that capture the geometry of circles on spheres, cones and hyperboloids in 3-dimensional space. In a previous paper, the author characterised the largest intersecting families in finite ovoidal…

We prove that certain sequences of periodic orbits of the diagonal group in the space of lattices equidistribute. As an application we obtain new information regarding the sequence of best approximations to certain vectors with algebraic…

We introduce conjectures relating the Chow ring of a smooth Artin stack $\mathcal{X}$ to the Chow groups of its possibly singular good moduli space $X$. In particular, we conjecture the existence of an intersection product on a subgroup of…

In recent work (\cite{KW1},\cite{KW2}), Kostant and Wallach construct an action of a simply connected Lie group $A\simeq \mathbb{C}^{{n\choose 2}}$ on $gl(n)$ using a completely integrable system derived from the Poisson analogue of the…

Oks proposes the existence of a new class of stable planetary orbits around binary stars, in the shape of a helix on a conical surface whose axis of symmetry coincides with the interstellar axis. We show that this claim relies on the…

By a classical result of Roitman, a complete intersection $X$ of sufficiently small degree admits a rational decomposition of the diagonal. This means that some multiple of the diagonal by a positive integer $N$, when viewed as a cycle in…

Let X be a finite set of complex numbers and let A be a normal operator with spectrum X that acts on a separable Hilbert space H. Relative to a fixed orthonormal basis e_1,e_2, ... for H, A gives rise to a matrix whose diagonal is a…

The main aim of the present note is to consider bounded orthomorphisms between locally solid vector lattices. We establish a version of the remarkable Zannen theorem regarding equivalence between orthomomorphisms and the underlying vector…

Let $T$ be the subgroup of diagonal matrices in the group SL(n). The aim of this paper is to find all finite-dimensional simple rational SL(n)-modules $V$ with the following property: for each point $v\in V$ the closure $\bar{Tv}$ of its…

Let $S_{n}$ denote the set of permutations of $[n]=\{1,2,\dots, n\}$. For a positive integer $k$, define $S_{n,k}$ to be the set of all permutations of $[n]$ with exactly $k$ disjoint cycles, i.e., \[ S_{n,k} = \{\pi \in S_{n}: \pi =…

We show that the poset of $SL(n)$-orbit closures in the product of two partial flag varieties is a lattice if the action of $SL(n)$ is spherical.
