We study analytically the constraints of the conformal bootstrap on the low-lying spectrum of operators in field theories with global conformal symmetry in one and two spacetime dimensions. We introduce a new class of linear functionals…

This paper provides several illustrations of the numerous remarkable properties of the lambda-extensions of the two-point correlation functions of the Ising model, sheding some light on the non-linear ODEs of the Painlev\'e type. We first…

Quantum states that remain separable (i.e., not entangled) under any global unitary transformation are known as absolutely separable and form a convex set. Despite extensive efforts, the complete characterization of this set remains largely…

An $(r, s)$-formation is a concatenation of $s$ permutations of $r$ letters. If $u$ is a sequence with $r$ distinct letters, then let $\mathit{Ex}(u, n)$ be the maximum length of any $r$-sparse sequence with $n$ distinct letters which has…

Consider the partially ordered set on $[t]^n:=\{0,\dots,t-1\}^n$ equipped with the natural coordinate-wise ordering. Let $A(t,n)$ denote the number of antichains of this poset. The quantity $A(t,n)$ has a number of combinatorial…

We provide a doubly exponential upper bound in $p$ on the size of forbidden pivot-minors for symmetric or skew-symmetric matrices over a fixed finite field $\mathbb{F}$ of linear rank-width at most $p$. As a corollary, we obtain a doubly…

An infinite set is orbit-finite if, up to permutations of the underlying structure of atoms, it has only finitely many elements. We study a generalisation of linear programming where constraints are expressed by an orbit-finite system of…

We study whether sufficiently large integers can be written in the form cp+T_x, where p is either zero or a prime congruent to r mod d, and T_x=x(x+1)/2 is a triangular number. We also investigate whether there are infinitely many positive…

Over many decades fully nonlinear PDEs, and the complex Monge-Amp\`ere equation in particular played a central role in the study of complex manifolds. Most previous works focused on problems that can be expressed through equations involving…

Given a density t in (0,1], and a prime p, let S be any subset of F_p having at least tp elements, and having the least number of three-term arithmetic progressions mod p among all subsets of F_p with at least tp elements. Define N(t,p) to…

In this paper higher-order tangent numbers and higher-order secant numbers, ${\mathscr{T}(n,k)}_{n,k =0}^{\infty}$ and ${\mathscr{S}(n,k)}_{n,k =0}^{\infty}$, have been studied in detail. Several known results regarding $\mathscr{T}(n,k)$…

Consider in a real Hilbert space $H$ the differential equation (inclusion) $(E)$: $p(t)u^{\prime \prime}(t)+q(t)u^{\prime}(t)\in Au(t)+f(t)$ for a.a. $t>0$, with the condition $(B)$: $u(0)=x \in \overline{D(A)}$, where $A\colon D(A)\subset…

In this work we obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of bounded solutions of a resonant multi-point second-order boundary value problem, with a fully differential equation. The noninvertibility of the linear part is overcome by a…

We explore new connections between complete non-ambiguous trees (CNATs) and permutations. We give a bijection between tree-like tableaux and a specific subset of CNATs. This map is used to establish and solve a recurrence relation for the…

Let $X$ be an infinite linearly ordered set and let $Y$ be a nonempty subset of $X$. We calculate the relative rank of the semigroup $OP(X,Y)$ of all orientation-preserving transformations on $X$ with restricted range $Y$ modulo the…

Recently, linear codes constructed from defining sets have been investigated extensively and they have many applications. In this paper, for an odd prime $p$, we propose a class of $p$-ary linear codes by choosing a proper defining set.…

Let $V$ be a vector space over the finite field ${\mathbb F}_q$. A $q$-Steiner system, or an $S(t,k,V)_q$, is a collection ${\mathcal B}$ of $k$-dimensional subspaces of $V$ such that every $t$-dimensional subspace of $V$ is contained in a…

In this paper we show that for every positive integer $n$ there exists a prime number in the interval $[n,9(n+3)/8]$. Based on this result, we prove that if $a$ is an integer greater than 1, then for every integer $n>14.4a$ there are at…

Let $1\leq p < \infty$ and $1\leq r \leq p^\ast$, where $p^\ast$ is the conjugate index of $p$. We prove an omnibus theorem, which provides numerous equivalences for a sequence $(x_n)$ in a Banach space $X$ to be a $(p,r)$-null sequence.…

For all $k \geq 1$, we show that deciding whether a graph is $k$-planar is NP-complete, extending the well-known fact that deciding 1-planarity is NP-complete. Furthermore, we show that the gap version of this decision problem is…
