The well-known Bernstein-Kushnirenko theorem from the theory of Newton polyhedra relates algebraic geometry and the theory of mixed volumes. Recently the authors have found a far-reaching generalization of this theorem to generic systems of…

We study the generalization of shifted Jack polynomials to arbitrary multiplicity free spaces. In a previous paper (math.RT/0006004) we showed that these polynomials are eigenfunctions for commuting difference operators. Our central result…

We extend some part of the unpublished paper written by Mednykh and Rasskazov. Using the approach indicated in this paper we derive the Riley-Mednykh polynomial for some family of the $2$-bridge knot orbifolds. As a result we obtain…

Here we define a Caputo like discrete fractional difference and we compare it to the earlier defined Riemann-Liouville fractional discrete analog. Then we produce discrete fractional Taylor formulae for the first time, and we estimate their…

We show that quite universally the holonomicity of the complexity function of a big divisor on a projective variety does not predict the polyhedrality of the Newton-Okounkov body associated to every flag.

For $D$ a reduced alternating surface link diagram, we bound the twist number of $D$ in terms of the coefficients of a polynomial invariant. To this end, we introduce a generalization of the homological Kauffman bracket defined by Krushkal.…

Large deviation estimates are by now a standard tool inthe Asymptotic Convex Geometry, contrary to small deviationresults. In this note we present a novel application of a smalldeviations inequality to a problem related to the diameters of…

We use equivariant methods to establish basic properties of orbifold K-theory. We introduce the notion of twisted orbifold K-theory in the presence of discrete torsion, and show how it can be explicitly computed for global quotients.

This paper collects some important formulas on hyperbolic volume. To determine concrete values of volume function is a very hard question requiring the knowledge of various methods. Our goal to give a non-elementary integral on the volume…

The main result of this note is that the toric degenerations of flag varieties associated to string polytopes and certain Bott-Samelson resolutions of flag varieties fit into a commutative diagram which gives a resolution of singularities…

We compute the volumes of convex bodies that are given by inequalities of concave polynomials. These volumes are found to arbitrary precision thanks to the representation of periods by linear differential equations. Our approach rests on…

Let $K$ be a convex body in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. We denote the volume of $K$ by $Vol(K)$ and the diameter of $K$ by $Diam(K).$ In this paper we prove that there exists a linear bijection $T:\mathbb{R}^{3}\to \mathbb{R}^{3}$ such that…

In this article we explore the relationship between the systole and the diameter of closed hyperbolic orientable surfaces. We show that they satisfy a certain inequality, which can be used to deduce that their ratio has a (genus dependent)…

Let $\Omega$ represent a two$-$dimensional isotropic elastic body. We consider the problem of determining the body force $F$ whose form $\phi(t)(f_1(x),f_2(x))$ with $\phi$ be given inexactly. The problem is nonlinear and ill-posed. Using…

The problem of determining the volume of a tubular neighbourhood has a long and rich history. Bounds on the volume of neighbourhoods of algebraic sets have turned out to play an important role in the probabilistic analysis of condition…
