Let k be an infinite perfect field. We provide a general criterion for a spectrum in the stable homotopy category over k to be effective, i.e. to be in the localizing subcategory generated by the suspension spectra of smooth schemes. As a…
Recent works have explored the use of counting queries coupled with Description Logic ontologies. The answer to such a query in a model of a knowledge base is either an integer or $\infty$, and its spectrum is the set of its answers over…
In this paper we present an algebraic study concerning the general second order linear differential equation with polynomial coefficients. By means of Kovacic's algorithm and asymptotic iteration method we find a degree independent…
We apply the method of correlation functions to the coefficient problem in stochastic geometry. In particular, we give a proof for some universal patterns conjectured by M. Zinsmeister for the second moments of the Taylor coefficients for…
In a previous work we introduced an elementary method to analyze the periodicity of a generating function defined by a single equation y=G(x,y). This was based on deriving a single set-equation Y = Gammma(Y) defining the spectrum of the…
This monograph is the core of my book "Elliptic PDEs, Measures and Capacities: From the Poisson equation to Nonlinear Thomas-Fermi Problems" which has received the 2014 EMS Monograph Award and is available in the series EMS Tracts in…
We continue the study of random matrix universality in two-dimensional conformal field theories. This is facilitated by expanding the spectral form factor in a basis of modular invariant eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on the fundamental…
This paper defines a class of variational problems on Lie groups that admit involutive automorphisms. The maximum Principle of optimal control then identifies the appropriate left invariant Hamiltonians on the Lie algebra of the group. The…
Building off of recent results on Keisler's order, we show that consistently, $\leq_{SP}$ has infinitely many classes. In particular, we define the property of $\leq k$-type amalgamation for simple theories, for each $2 \leq k < \omega$. If…
Metric spaces satisfying properties stronger than completeness and weaker than compactness have been studied by many authors over the years. One such significant family is that of cofinally complete metric spaces. We discuss the…
We study the existence of optimal and p-optimal proof systems for classes in the Boolean hierarchy over $\mathrm{NP}$. Our main results concern $\mathrm{DP}$, i.e., the second level of this hierarchy: If all sets in $\mathrm{DP}$ have…
We use Andrew Baker's analysis of the cofiber of the endomorphism of the $p$-adic elliptic spectrum ($p>3$) defined by multiplication by the `Hasse invariant' $E_{p-1}$ to present its completion away from the locus of ordinary elliptic…
This book is an account of certain topics in general and algebraic topology. Instead of laying out a synopsis of each chapter, here is a sample of some of what is taken up: 1) Nilpotency and its role in homotopy theory. 2) Bousfield's…
This is a survey about spectral sets, to appear in the second edition of Handbook of Linear Algebra (L. Hogben, ed.). Spectral sets and K-spectral sets, introduced by John von Neumann, offer a possibility to estimate the norm of functions…
In the degree-diameter problem for Abelian Cayley and circulant graphs of diameter 2 and arbitrary degree d there is a wide gap between the best lower and upper bounds valid for all d, being quadratic functions with leading coefficient 1/4…
These notes have been prepared for a series of lectures given at the Sarajevo Stochastic Analysis Winter School, from January 28 to February 1, 2019. There already exist several excellent lecture notes and reviews on the subject, such as…
The aim of this work is to present results about existence of solutions for a class of biharmonic elliptic problems with homogeneous Navier conditions. The problem is symmetric and has linear behavior on -\infty and superlinear on +\infty.…
These notes form an extended version of a minicourse delivered in Universite de Montreal (June 2002) within the framework of a NATO workshop ``Normal Forms, Bifurcations and Finiteness Problems in Differential Equations''. The focus is on…
These notes are based on a seminar which took place in the autumn of 2022 at the Mathematical Institute of the University of Leiden. Its goal was to understand the recent work of J. Evans and Y. Lekili on the symplectic cohomology of the…
This is a set of notes which reviews and addresses issues in the SL(2,R) conformal field theory, while working primarily in a basis of vertex operators of definite weight under the affine algebra. Following a review of the H3 coset model…
