The Mayhew--Newman--Welsh--Whittle conjecture predicts that asymptotically almost all matroids are sparse paving. We study the gap between paving and sparse paving matroids at the logarithmic scale. Let \(p_n\) be the number of paving…

Given an open real interval \Delta\ and two selfadjoint operators A_1, A_2 in a \Pi_\kappa-space with n-dimensional resolvent difference we show that the difference of the total multiplicities of the eigenvalues of A_1 and A_2 in \Delta\ is…

Dimensionality reduction is a first step of many machine learning pipelines. Two popular approaches are principal component analysis, which projects onto a small number of well chosen but non-interpretable directions, and feature selection,…

Let $A$ and $B$ be sets of vertices in a graph $G$. Menger's theorem states that for every positive integer $k$, either there exists a collection of $k$ vertex-disjoint paths between $A$ and $B$, or $A$ can be separated from $B$ by a set of…

We discuss the combinatorics of decorated Dyck paths and decorated parallelogram polyominoes, extending to the decorated case the main results of both [Haglund 2004] and [Aval et al. 2014]. This settles in particular the cases…

In 2008, Halman proved a discrete Helly-type theorem for axis-parallel boxes in $\mathbb R^d$. Very recently, this result was extended to the $(p,q)$ setting with $p \geq q \geq d+1$ by Edwards and Sober\'on, and subsequently to the case $p…

We study the difference between the number of facets of the order polytope and the chain polytope of a poset. Hibi and Li classified posets where the gap is exactly zero. We describe the bounds on this gap using the new notion of crossing…

Let $\Delta =\{ \delta_1,\delta_2,...,\delta_m \} $ be a finite set of 2-connected patterns, i.e. graphs up to vertex relabelling. We study the generating function $D_{\Delta }(z,u_1,u_2,...,u_m),$ which counts polygon dissections and marks…

We announce two breakthrough results concerning important questions in the Theory of Computational Complexity. In this expository paper, a systematic and comprehensive geometric characterization of the Subset Sum Problem is presented. We…

In this work we prove that the set of the difference of primes is a $\Delta_r^*$-set. The work is based on the recent dramatic new developments in the study of bounded gaps between primes, reached by Zhang, Maynard and Tao.

The paper contains three results, the common feature of which is that they deal with the Schatten $p$ class. The first is a presentation of a new complemented subspace of $C_p$ in the reflexive range (and $p\not= 2$). This construction…

We study the problem of entrywise $\ell_1$ low rank approximation. We give the first polynomial time column subset selection-based $\ell_1$ low rank approximation algorithm sampling $\tilde{O}(k)$ columns and achieving an…

We study two popular ways to sketch the shortest path distances of an input graph. The first is distance preservers, which are sparse subgraphs that agree with the distances of the original graph on a given set of demand pairs. Prior work…

For any fixed simple graph $H=(V,E)$ and any fixed $u>0$, we establish the leading order of the exponential rate function for the probability that the number of copies of $H$ in the Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi graph $G(n,p)$ exceeds its expectation…

A generic uniformly distributed sequence $(x_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ in $[0,1)$ possesses Poissonian pair correlations (PPC). Vice versa, it has been proven that a sequence with PPC is uniformly distributed. Grepstad and Larcher gave an…

Let $\Delta$ be a root system with a subset of positive roots, $\Delta^+$. We consider edges of the Hasse diagrams of some posets associated with $\Delta^+$. For each edge one naturally defines its type, and we study the partition of the…

The Dyson rank of an integer partition is the difference between its largest part and the number of parts it contains. Using Fine-Dyson symmetry, we give formulas for the number of partitions of n with rank larger than n/2, and we prove…

Design matrices are sparse matrices in which the supports of different columns intersect in a few positions. Such matrices come up naturally when studying problems involving point sets with many collinear triples. In this work we consider…

Let A be a subset of $\F_p^n$, the $n$-dimensional linear space over the prime field $\F_p$ of size at least $\de N$ $(N=p^n)$, and let $S_v=P^{-1}(v)$ be the level set of a homogeneous polynomial map $P:\F_p^n\to\F_p^R$ of degree $d$, and…

We establish basic information about border rank algorithms for the matrix multiplication tensor and other tensors with symmetry. We prove that border rank algorithms for tensors with symmetry (such as matrix multiplication and the…
