In this paper, we solve the long standing open problem on exact dimensionality of self-affine measures on the plane. We show that every self-affine measure on the plane is exact dimensional regardless of the choice of the defining iterated…

In this work, our aim is to obtain conditions to assure polynomial approximation in Hilbert spaces $L^{2}(\mu)$, with $\mu$ a compactly supported measure in the complex plane, in terms of properties of the associated moment matrix to the…

For an (indefinite) scalar product $[x,y]_B = x^HBy$ for $B= \pm B^H \in Gl_n(\mathbb{C})$ on $\mathbb{C}^n \times \mathbb{C}^n$ we show that the set of diagonalizable matrices is dense in the set of all $B$-selfadjoint, $B$-skewadjoint,…

Let $R$ be a ring and let $n\ge 2$. We discuss the question of whether every element in the matrix ring $M_n(R)$ is a product of (additive) commutators $[x,y]=xy-yx$, for $x,y\in M_n(R)$. An example showing that this does not always hold,…

We consider the variational problem consisting of minimizing a polyconvex integrand for maps between manifolds. We offer a simple and direct proof of the existence of a minimizing map. The proof is based on Young measures.

We show that in order to decide whether a given probability measure is laminate it is enough to verify Jensen's inequality in the class of extremal non-negative rank-one convex integrands. We also identify a subclass of these extremal…

We organize the eight variables of the four-dimensional bosonic string ({\dot X}^{\mu}, X'^{\mu}) into a 2 x 2 x 2 hypermatrix a_{AA'A''} and show that in signature (2,2) the Nambu-Goto Lagrangian is given by \sqrt{Det a} where Det is…

The signature of closed oriented manifolds is well-known to be multiplicative under finite covers. This fails for Poincar\'e complexes as examples of C. T. C. Wall show. We establish the multiplicativity of the signature, and more…

Delaunay protection is a measure of how far a Delaunay triangulation is from being degenerate. In this short paper we study the protection properties and other quality measures of the Delaunay triangulations of a family of lattices that is…

\citet{Shmuel2016JMPS} discovered that all infinite band structures of waves at normal incidence in two-phase laminates are encapsulated in a compact universal manifold. We show that manifolds of higher dimensionality encapsulate the band…

Let $A$ be an $n\times n$ real Toeplitz matrix satisfying $A+A^{\top}=2\mathbb J_n$, where $\mathbb J_n$ is the all-ones matrix.If $A_r(i,j)$ denotes the $r\times r$ contiguous submatrix of $A$ consisting of rows $i,i+1,\dots,i+r-1$ and…

For any diagonal element $a$ with two eigenvalues, we construct a sequence of $a$-invariant probability measures on the space of unimodular lattices with high entropy but converging to the zero measure. This extends the result of Kadyrov…

A representation theorem is proved for De Morgan monoids that are (i) semilinear, i.e., subdirect products of totally ordered algebras, and (ii) negatively generated, i.e., generated by lower bounds of the neutral element. Using this…

All spaces are assumed to be separable and metrizable. Building on work of van Engelen, Harrington, Michalewski and Ostrovsky, we obtain the following results: (1) Every finite-dimensional analytic space is $\sigma$-homogeneous with…

A well-known result on Lie Theory states that every finite-dimensional complex solvable Lie algebra can be represented as a matrix Lie algebra, with upper-triangular square matrices as elements. However, this result does not specify which…

Let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in $\mathrm{SO}_0(n, 1)$. We prove that if the associated locally symmetric space contains infinitely many maximal totally geodesic subspaces of dimension at least $2$, then $\Gamma$ is arithmetic. This answers a…

Given a linear elliptic equation $\sum a_{ij} u_{ij} =0$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$, it is a classical problem to determine if its degree-one homogeneous solutions $u$ are linear. The answer is negative in general, by a construction of…
