For a given null-cobordant Riemannian $n$-manifold, how does the minimal geometric complexity of a null-cobordism depend on the geometric complexity of the manifold? In [Gro99], Gromov conjectured that this dependence should be linear. We…

We prove that for any norm |*| in the d-dimensional real vector space V and for any odd n>0 there is a non-negative polynomial p(x), x in V of degree 2n such that p^{1/2n}(x) < |x| < c(n,d) p^{1/2n}(x), where c(n,d)={n+d-1 choose n}^{1/2n}.…

We study polynomial approximation on a $d$-cube, where $d$ is large, and compare interpolation on sparse grids, aka Smolyak's algorithm (SA), with a simple least squares method based on randomly generated points (LS) using standard…

The Casas-Alvero conjecture states that if $f(X)$ is a monic univariate polynomial of degree $d$ over a characteristic $0$ field $\mathbb{K}$ such that $\gcd(f, f_{i})$ is non-trivial for each $i=1, \dots, d-1$, then $f(X)=(X-\alpha)^d$ for…

We give a new, systematic proof for a recent result of Larry Guth and thus also extend the result to a setting with several families of varieties: For any integer $D\geq 1$ and any collection of sets $\Gamma_1,\ldots,\Gamma_j$ of low-degree…

Let $k$ be a field, $V$ a $k$-vector space and $X$ be a subset of $V $. A function $f:X\to k$ is weakly polynomial of degree $\leq a$, if the restriction of $f$ on any affine subspace $L\subset X$ is a polynomial of degree $\leq a$. In this…

Assume that the Riemann hypothesis holds for Dedekind zeta functions. Under this assumption, we prove that a degree $d$ polynomial with random multiplicative $\pm1$ coefficients is irreducible in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ with probability…

We study the structure of the Fourier coefficients of low degree multivariate polynomials over finite fields. We consider three properties: (i) the number of nonzero Fourier coefficients; (ii) the sum of the absolute value of the Fourier…

Consider a system of $m$ polynomial equations $\{p_i(x) = b_i\}_{i \leq m}$ of degree $D\geq 2$ in $n$-dimensional variable $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$ such that each coefficient of every $p_i$ and $b_i$s are chosen at random and independently…

We introduce a new model for random simplicial complexes which with high probability generates a complex that has a simply-connected double cover. Hence we develop a model for random simplicial complexes with fundamental group…
