Computing mixed volume of convex polytopes is an important problem in computational algebraic geometry. This paper establishes sufficient conditions under which the mixed volume of several convex polytopes exactly equals the normalized…
Cantor sets of integers have a rich set of arithmetic combinatorial properties. We consider classical Cantor sets, with a base and a fixed set of allowed digits. For such sets, we (a) give examples of such sets that satisfy the intersective…
We show that any compact smooth real $n$-dimensional manifold $M$ with $n\leq 11$ can be smoothly embedded into $\mathbb{C}^{n+1}$ as a polynomially convex set. In general, there is no such embedding into $\mathbb{C}^n$. This solves a…
Starting out from a question posed by T. Erd\'elyi and J. Szabados, we consider Schur-type inequalities for the classes of complex algebraic polynomials having no zeroes within the unit disk D. The class of polynomials with no zeroes in D -…
We embed compact $C^\infty$ manifolds into $\mathbb C^n$ as totally real manifolds with prescribed polynomial hulls. As a consequence we show that any compact $C^\infty$ manifold of dimension $d$ admits a totally real embedding into…
We study some systems of polynomials whose support lies in the convex hull of a circuit, giving a sharp upper bound for their numbers of real solutions. This upper bound is non-trivial in that it is smaller than either the Kouchnirenko or…
We provide examples of ambient nuclear C*-algebras of non-nuclear C*-algebras with no proper intermediate C*-algebras. In particular this gives the first examples of minimal ambient nuclear C*-algebras of non-nuclear C*-algebras. For this…
For each $\omega\in (0, 1)^{\mathbb N}$, we may construct a Cantor set $E(\omega)\subset [0, 1]$ called a generalized Cantor set for $\omega$. We study the moduli space of $\omega$ denoted by $\mathcal M(\omega)\subset (0, 1)^{\mathbb N}$.…
It is shown that there exists a complete, atomless, sigma-centered Boolean algebra, which does not contain any regular countable subalgebra if and only if there exist a nowhere dense ultrafilter. Therefore the existence of such algebras is…
We prove in the theory "ZFC + there is no inner model with a Woodin cardinal" that there is a universal weasel. This shows in particular that one doesn't have to assume the existence of large cardinals in V to prove the existence of some…
This note is motivated by an old result of Kronecker on monic polynomials with integer coefficients having all their roots in the unit disc. We call such polynomials Kronecker polynomials for short. Let $k(n)$ denote the number of Kronecker…
We introduce constrained polynomial zonotopes, a novel non-convex set representation that is closed under linear map, Minkowski sum, Cartesian product, convex hull, intersection, union, and quadratic as well as higher-order maps. We show…
For an infinite set $X$, a closed under finite unions family $\mathcal{Z}$ with $[X]^{<\omega}\subseteq\mathcal{Z}\subseteq\mathcal{P}(X)$, and any $\mathcal{A}\subseteq\mathcal{P}(X)$, the topology…
Open, connected, saturated sets W without holonomy in codimension one foliations play key roles as fundamental building blocks. Here, for the case of foliated 3-manifolds, we produce a finite system of closed, convex, non-overlapping…
We study the harmonic mean of non-zero complex-valued random variables (complex harmonic mean) and establish several geometric estimates and bounds. In contrast to the classical positive-valued case, complex harmonic means may lie outside…
The paper characterizes the convex hull of the closure of the cone-volume set $C_\cv(U)$, consisting of all cone-volume vectors of polygons with outer unit normals vectors contained in $U$, for any finite set $U \subseteq \R^2, \pos(U) =…
The empty set of course contains no computable point. On the other hand, surprising results due to Zaslavskii, Tseitin, Kreisel, and Lacombe assert the existence of NON-empty co-r.e. closed sets devoid of computable points: sets which are…
The convex hull of N independent random points chosen on the boundary of a simple polytope in R^n is investigated. Asymptotic formulas for the expected number of vertices and facets, and for the expectation of the volume difference are…
We prove a canonical polynomial Van der Waerden's Theorem. More precisely, we show the following. Let $\{p_1(x),\ldots,p_k(x)\}$ be a set of polynomials such that $p_i(x)\in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ and $p_i(0)=0$, for every $i\in \{1,\ldots,k\}$.…
We prove that there exists a countable infinite sequence of non-empty special $\Pi^0_1$ classes $\{\mathcal{P}_i\}_{i\in\omega}$ such that no infinite union of elements of any $\mathcal{P}_i$ computes the halting set. We then give a…
