This work develops new foundations for the theory of linear codes over local Artinian commutative rings. We use algebraic invariants such as the socle, type, length, and minimal number of generators to measure the size of codes. We prove a…
The 3-domatic number problem asks whether a given graph can be partitioned intothree dominating sets. We prove that this problem can be solved by a deterministic algorithm in time 2.695^n (up to polynomial factors). This result improves the…
In this paper, we consider upper bounds on the size of transitive subtournaments in a digraph. In particular, we give an analogy of Hoffman's bound for the size of cocliques in a regular graph. Furthermore, we partially improve the Hoffman…
We show that real semi-simple Lie groups of higher rank contain (infinitely generated) discrete subgroups with full limit sets in the corresponding Furstenberg boundaries. Additionally, we provide criteria under which discrete subgroups of…
In this note we draw a connection between noncommutative algebra and geometric group theory. Specifically, we ask whether it is possible to bound the sequence of codimensions for an associative PI-algebra using techniques from geometric…
Let $G$ be a finite abelian group and $A$ be a subset of $G \times G$ which is corner--free, meaning that there are no $x, y \in G$ and $d \in G \setminus \{0\}$ such that $(x, y)$, $(x+d, y)$, $(x, y+d) \in A$. We prove that \[|A| \le…
The minimal degree of a permutation group $G$ is the minimum number of points not fixed by non-identity elements of $G$. Lower bounds on the minimal degree have strong structural consequences on $G$. In 2014 Babai proved that the…
We introduce the polynomial coefficient matrix and identify maximum rank of this matrix under variable substitution as a complexity measure for multivariate polynomials. We use our techniques to prove super-polynomial lower bounds against…
Let G be a finite group with a generating set A. By the (symmetric) diameter of G with respect to A we mean the maximum over g in G of the length of the shortest word in (A union A inverse)A expressing g.By the (symmetric) diameter of G we…
We consider questions that arise from the intersection between the areas of polynomial-time approximation algorithms, subexponential-time algorithms, and fixed-parameter tractable algorithms. The questions, which have been asked several…
Gaussian universality results assert that the properties of many estimators remain unchanged when the input data are replaced by Gaussians. Such results have gained popularity in high-dimensional statistics and machine learning, as…
In this work we prove general bounds for the diameter of random graphs generated by a preferential attachment model whose parameter is a function $f:\mathbb{N}\to[0,1]$ that drives the asymptotic proportion between the numbers of vertices…
We prove a new lower bound for the dilatation of an arbitrary pseudo-Anosov map on a surface of genus g with n punctures. Our bound improves the former super-exponential dependence on the genus by a polynomial dependence.
Let C be an arbitrary simple-root cyclic code and let G be the subgroup of Aut(C) (the automorphism group of C) generated by the multiplier, the cyclic shift and the scalar multiplications. To the best of our knowledge, the subgroup G is…
We investigate the constant-depth circuit complexity of the Isomorphism Problem, Minimum Generating Set Problem (MGS), and Sub(quasi)group Membership Problem (Membership) for groups and quasigroups (=Latin squares), given as input in terms…
Erdos, Herzog and Piranian asked whether, for $n$ points in the plane with fixed diameter (maximum distance between points), an arrangement of a regular $n$-gon maximizes their product of all pairs of distances. Recently, it was discovered…
A subset $A$ of a group $G$ is called product-free if there is no solution to $a=bc$ with $a,b,c$ all in $A$. It is easy to see that the largest product-free subset of the symmetric group $S_n$ is obtained by taking the set of all odd…
$f,g_1,...,g_m$ be elements of the polynomial ring $\mathbb{R}[x_1,...,x_n]$. The paper deals with the general problem of computing a lower bound for $f$ on the subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ defined by the inequalities $g_i\ge 0$, $i=1,...,m$.…
In this paper, we prove the following non-linear generalization of the classical Sylvester-Gallai theorem. Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$, and $\mathcal{F}=\{F_1,\cdots,F_m\} \subset…
The problem of finding a nontrivial factor of a polynomial f(x) over a finite field F_q has many known efficient, but randomized, algorithms. The deterministic complexity of this problem is a famous open question even assuming the…
