The singular and regular type of a point on a real hypersurface $\mathcal H$ in $\mathbb C^n$ are shown to agree when the regular type is strictly less than 4. If $\mathcal H$ is pseudoconvex, we show they agree when the regular type is 4.…

We establish a sufficient condition for the ultimate positivity of P-recursive sequences of arbitrary order with a unique dominant root. By additionally verifying finitely many initial terms, the positivity can also be resolved. As an…

We show that the ordered rings naturally associated to compact convex polyhedra with interior satisfy a positivity property known as order unit cancellation, and obtain other general positivity results as well.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate order of contact on real hypersurfaces in ${\mathbb C}^n$ by using Newton polyhedra which are important notion in the study of singularity theory. To be more precise, an equivalence condition for…

We consider generalized quadratic forms over real quadratic number fields and prove, under a natural positive-definiteness condition, that a generalized quadratic form can only be universal if it contains a quadratic subform that is…

In this paper we classify the finite groups satisfying the following property $P_4$: their orders of representatives are set-wise relatively prime for any 4 distinct non-central conjugacy classes.

We give positivity conditions on the embedding of a smooth variety which guarantee the normality of the secant variety, generalizing earlier results of the author and others. We also give classes of secant varieties satisfying the Hodge…

We study a conjecture by Deaconescu on the solubility of finite groups with claims that if more than half of the elements in a finite group has the same order $k$, then the group is soluble. We show that the original conjecture fails by…

For a 4th order 3-dimensional symmetric tensor with its some entries $1$ or $-1$, we show the analytic sufficient and necessary conditions of its positive definiteness. By applying these conclusions, several strict inequalities is bulit for…

An integral quadratic form is called strictly $n$-regular if it primitively represents all quadratic forms in $n$ variables that are primitively represented by its genus. For any $n \geq 2$, it will be shown that there are only finitely…

Deciding the positivity of a sequence defined by a linear recurrence with polynomial coefficients and initial condition is difficult in general. Even in the case of recurrences with constant coefficients, it is known to be decidable only…

In the manuscript [v4], we prove the uniqueness of a generalized quadrangle of order (4,16).

Over any partially ordered abelian group whose positive cone is closed in an appropriate sense and has finitely many faces, modules that satisfy a weak finiteness condition admit finite primary decompositions. This conclusion rests on the…

A closed 4-manifold (or, more generally, a finite $PD_4$-space) has a finitely dominated infinite regular covering space if and only if either its universal covering space is finitely dominated or it is finitely covered by the mapping torus…

In this paper, by considering the common points of two conics instead of the roots of the binary quartic form, we propose a novel necessary and sufficient condition for the positivity of a binary quartic form using the theory of the pencil…

In this paper, it is proved that there is, up to isomorphism, a unique generalized quadrangle of order (4,16).

We introduce the notion of uniform exactness, or uniform amenability at infinity, for discrete groups and prove it for a wide class of groups containing free groups and their limit groups. This shows a novel strong convergence phenomenon…

For a 4th order 3-dimensional cyclic symmetric tensor, a sufficient and necessary condition is bulit for its positive semi-definiteness. A sufficient and necessary condition of positive definiteness is showed for a 4th order $n$-dimensional…

This work investigates preserving and reversing unimodality and convexity properties for sequences under transformations defined by sign-regular kernels. It is shown that these transformations only preserve these properties if the kernels…

We prove that if the associated fourth order tensor of a quadratic form has a linear elastic cubic symmetry then it is quasiconvex if and only if it is polyconvex, i.e. a sum of convex and null-Lagrangian quadratic forms. We prove that…
