Let $F$ be a univariate polynomial or rational fraction of degree $d$ defined over a number field. We give bounds from above on the absolute logarithmic Weil height of $F$ in terms of the heights of its values at small integers: we review…

We provide a general scheme for proving $L^p$ estimates for certain bilinear Fourier restrictions outside the locally $L^2$ setting. As an application, we show how such estimates follow for the lacunary polygon. In contrast with prior…

By means of a Fourier optimization framework, we improve the current asymptotic bounds under GRH for two classical problems in number theory: the problem of estimating the least quadratic non-residue modulo a prime, and the problem of…

We improve the $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$ bounds on Stein's square function to the best-known range of the Fourier restriction problem when $n\geq4$. Applications including certain local smoothing estimates are also discussed.

This work studies limits of Pfaffian systems, a class of first-order PDEs appearing in the Feynman integral calculus. Such limits appear naturally in the context of scattering amplitudes when there is a separation of scale in a given set of…

Polynomial convergence bounds are considered for left, right, and split preconditioned GMRES. They include the cases of Weighted and Deflated GMRES for a linear system Ax = b. In particular, the case of positive definite A is considered.…

Let $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ be a union of line segments and $F \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ the set obtained from $E$ by extending each line segment in $E$ to a full line. Keleti's line segment extension conjecture posits that the Hausdorff…

The purpose of this article is to survey the developments on the Kakeya problem in recent years, concentrating on the period after the excellent 1999 survey of Wolff, and including some recent work by the authors. We will focus on the…

We prove an x-ray estimate in general dimension which is stronger than the Kakeya estimates of Wolff. This generalizes an x-ray estimate in three dimensions which is also due to Wolff.

We explore the extent to which the Fourier transform of an $L^p$ density supported on the sphere in $\mathbb{R}^n$ can have large mass on affine subspaces, placing particular emphasis on lines and hyperplanes. This involves establishing…

We generalize the Guth--Katz joints theorem from lines to varieties. A special case says that $N$ planes (2-flats) in 6 dimensions (over any field) have $O(N^{3/2})$ joints, where a joint is a point contained in a triple of these planes not…

We prove $L^p \rightarrow L^q$ Fourier restriction estimates for 3-dimensional quadratic surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^5$. Our results are sharp, up to endpoints, for a few classes of surfaces.

The direct or algorithmic approach for the Jacobian problem, consisting of the direct construction of the inverse polynomials is proposed. The so called principle and derived Jacobi conditions are proposed and discussed. The algorithmic…

We prove a maximal restriction inequality for the Fourier transform, providing an answer to a question left open by M\"uller, Ricci and Wright. Our methods are similar to the ones in their article, with the addition of a suitable trick to…

We prove uniform $L^p \to L^q$ bounds for Fourier restriction to polynomial curves in $\mathbb R^d$ with affine arclength measure, in the conjectured range.

We prove that recent breaking by Zahl of the $\frac32$ barrier in Wolff's estimate on the Kakeya maximal operator in $\mathbb R^4$ leads to improving the $\frac{14}{5}$ threshold for the restriction problem for the paraboloid in $\mathbb…

We study incidence problems involving points and curves in $R^3$. The current (and in fact only viable) approach to such problems, pioneered by Guth and Katz, requires a variety of tools from algebraic geometry, most notably (i) the…

We explore computational aspects of maximum likelihood estimation of the mixture proportions of a nonparametric finite mixture model -- a convex optimization problem with old roots in statistics and a key member of the modern data analysis…

We improve Kolyvagin's upper bound on the order of the $p$-primary part of the Shafarevich-Tate group of an elliptic curve of rank one over a quadratic imaginary field. In many cases, our bound is precisely the one predicted by the Birch…

We propose an algebraic geometry framework for the Kakeya problem. We conjecture that for any polynomials $f,g\in\F_{q_0}[x,y]$ and any $\F_q/\F_{q_0}$, the image of the map $\F_q^3\to\F_q^3$ given by $(s,x,y)\mapsto…
