We describe a family of polynomials discovered via a particular recursion relation, which have connections to Chebyshev polynomials of the first and the second kind, and the polynomial version of Pell's equation. Many of their properties…
In this note we introduce the concept of reflective projective varieties. These are stratified projective varieties with certain dimension constraints on their dual varieties. We prove that for such varieties, the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson…
We consider certain parametrised families of piecewise expanding maps on the interval, and estimate and sometimes calculate the Hausdorff dimension of the set of parameters for which the orbit of a fixed point has a certain shrinking target…
The Restricted Invertibility problem is the problem of selecting the largest subset of columns of a given matrix $X$, while keeping the smallest singular value of the extracted submatrix above a certain threshold. In this paper, we address…
Using the ring space of sheared Witt vectors, we define certain ring stacks. We suggest several models for the ring stacks. Motivation: there is a conjectural description of the stack of n-truncated Barsotti-Tate groups and its Shimurian…
For the $p$-dimensional filiform Lie algebra ${\mathfrak m}_2(p)$ over a field ${\mathbb F}$ of prime characteristic $p\ge 5$ with nonzero Lie brackets $[e_1,e_i] = e_{i+1}$ for $1<i<p$ and $[e_2,e_i]=e_{i+2}$ for $2<i<p-1$, we show that…
Polynomials in this paper are defined starting from a compact semisimple Lie group. A known classification of maximal, semisimple subgroups of simple Lie groups is used to select the cases to be considered here. A general method is…
The existence of a rigged Hilbert space whose extreme spaces are, respectively, the projective and the inductive limit of a directed contractive family of Hilbert spaces is investigated. It is proved that, when it exists, this rigged…
We construct a number of topologically trivial but smoothly non-trivial families of embeddings of 3-manifolds in 4-manifolds. These include embeddings of homology spheres in $S^4$ that are not isotopic but have diffeomorphic complements,…
The authors give a complete classification of projective threefolds admitting a holomorphic normal projective connection. Moreover, they prove a general structure theorem on complex projective manifolds admitting a holomorphic normal…
We partition in classes the set of matroids of fixed dimension on a fixed vertex set. In each class we identify two special matroids, respectively with minimal and maximal h-vector in that class. Such extremal matroids also satisfy a…
An algebraic interpretation of matrix-valued orthogonal polynomials (MVOPs) is provided. The construction is based on representations of a ($q$-deformed) Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ into the algebra $\operatorname{End}_{M_n(\mathbb{C})}(M)$…
We investigate for families of smooth projective varieties over a localized polynomial ring Z[x_1,...,x_r][D^{-1}] the conjugate filtration on De Rham cohomology tensored with Z/NZ. As N tends to infinity this leads to the concept of the…
In recent years there has been much interest -and progress- in understanding projections of many concrete fractals sets and measures. The general goal is to be able to go beyond general results such as Marstrand's Theorem, and quantify the…
We prove special cases of a general conjecture: If an invertible field theory admits a projectively topological boundary theory, then it has finite order in the abelian group of invertible field theories. One can substitute `gapped' for…
In this paper we study families of projective manifolds with good minimal models. After constructing a suitable moduli functor for polarized varieties with canonical singularities, we show that, if not birationally isotrivial, the base…
Fix integers $1<k<n$. For $V\in G(k,n)$, let $P_V: \mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow V$ be the orthogonal projection. For $V\in G(k,n)$, define the map \[ \pi_V: A(1,n)\rightarrow A(1,V)\bigsqcup V. \] \[ \ell\mapsto P_V(\ell). \] For any…
In this contribution, discrete semiclassical orthogonal polynomials of class $s\leq2$ are studied. By considering all possible solutions of the Pearson equation, we obtain the canonical families in each class. We also consider limit…
Regularity and irregularity of the Bergman projection on $L^p$ spaces is established on a natural family of bounded, pseudoconvex domains. The family is parameterized by a real variable $\gamma$. A surprising consequence of the analysis is…
We prove that a matrix from the split orthogonal group over a polynomial ring with coefficients in a small-dimensional ring can be reduced to a smaller matrix by a bounded number of elementary orthogonal transformations. The bound is given…
