The amoebas associated to algebraic varieties are certain concave regions in the Euclidean space whose shape reminds biological amoebas. This term was formally introduced to Mathematics in 1994 by Gelfand, Kapranov and Zelevinski. Some…
We prove a Baum--Bott type residual formula for one-dimensional holomorphic foliations, and logarithmic along free divisors. More precisely, this provides a Baum--Bott theorem for a foliated triple $(X, \mathcal{F}, D)$, where $\mathcal{F}$…
Additive deformations of bialgebras in the sense of J. Wirth, i.e. deformations of the multiplication map fulfilling a certain compatibility condition w.r.t. the coalgebra structure, can be generalized to braided bialgebras. The theorems…
This is a literal word-for-word translation from the German of the article by Paul Koebe which contains a proof of Weierstrass's famous theorem characterizing all analytic functions which possess an algebraic addition theorem.
The canonical basis for quantized universal enveloping algebras associated to the finite--dimensional simple Lie algebras, was introduced by Lusztig. The principal technique is the explicit construction (via the braid group action) of a…
We determine the decomposition numbers for the Brauer and walled Brauer algebra in characteristic zero in terms of certain polynomials associated to cap and curl diagrams (recovering a result of Martin in the Brauer case). We consider a…
Homotopy connectedness theorems for complex submanifolds of homogeneous spaces (sometimes referred to as theorems of Barth-Lefshetz type) have been established by a number of authors. Morse Theory on the space of paths lead to an elegant…
In this manuscript we present a brief life history of Ludwig Edward Boltzmann and his achivements. Particularly, we discuss his H-theorem, his work on entropy and statistical interpretation of second-law of thermodynamics. We point out his…
We show that the equivariant hypertoric convolution algebras introduced by Braden-Licata-Proudfoot-Webster are affine quasi hereditary in the sense of Kleshchev and compute the Ext groups between standard modules. Together with the main…
Let $E$ be the Fermat cubic curve over $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$. In 2002, Schoen proved that the group $CH^2(E^3)/\ell$ is infinite for all primes $\ell\equiv 1\pmod 3$. We show that $CH^2(E^3)/\ell$ is infinite for all prime numbers $\ell> 5$.…
A simple method of constructing a big stock of algebraic varieties with trivial Makar-Limanov invariant is described, the Derksen invariant of some varieties is computed, the generalizations of the Makar-Limanov and Derksen invariants are…
A simple convex lattice polytope $\Box$ defines a torus-equivariant line bundle $\LB$ over a toric variety $\XB.$ Atiyah and Bott's Lefschetz fixed-point theorem is applied to the torus action on the $d''$-complex of $\LB$ and information…
We give a bound on which singularities may appear on Koll\'ar--Shepherd-Barron--Alexeev stable surfaces for a wide range of topological invariants and use this result to describe all stable numerical quintic surfaces (KSBA-stable surfaces…
Let $W_X(\mathbb{F})$ be the Lie algebra of all derivations of the polynomial algebra $\mathbb{F}[X]$ in infinitely many variables. We describe all derivations of $W_X(\mathbb{F})$ over a field of characteristic zero and prove that all such…
Irving John ("Jack") Good (9 December 1916 - 5 April 2009) was one of my greatest heroes and influencers. On Oct. 25, 2009, I gave a twenty-three minute talk with the present title, and this article is an extended transcript of that talk.…

This paper proves a probabilistic Weyl-law for the spectrum of randomly perturbed Berezin-Toeplitz operators, generalizing a result proven by Martin Vogel in 2020. This is done following Vogel's strategy using an exotic symbol calculus…
We consider weighted Chebyshev polynomials on the unit circle corresponding to a weight of the form $(z-1)^s$ where $s>0$. For integer values of $s$ this corresponds to prescribing a zero of the polynomial on the boundary. As such, we…
In this expository note, I present some of the key features of the lattice of torsion classes of a finite-dimensional algebra, focussing in particular on its complete semidistributivity and consequences thereof. This is intended to serve as…
In this paper we analyze both the scientific activities of Cahit Arf, a Turkish mathematician, and the social context in which he worked. We also discuss his work and social environment leading to the discovery of Arf invariant, Arf rings,…
