Given $d+1$ sets, or colours, $S_1, S_2,...,S_{d+1}$ of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, a {\em colourful} set is a set $S\subseteq\bigcup_i S_i$ such that $|S\cap S_i|\leq 1$ for $i=1,...,d+1$. The convex hull of a colourful set $S$ is called a…

This paper establishes a comparison theorem for the maximum eigenvalue of a sum of independent random symmetric matrices. The theorem states that the maximum eigenvalue of the matrix sum is dominated by the maximum eigenvalue of a Gaussian…

We introduce certain torus-equivariant classes on permutohedral varieties which we call "tautological classes of matroids" as a new geometric framework for studying matroids. Using this framework, we unify and extend many recent…

We introduce various quantities that can be defined for an arbitrary matroid, and show that certain conditions on these quantities imply that a matroid is not representable over $\mathbb{F}_q$ where $q$ is a prime power. Mostly, for a…

Let W be a finite reflection group acting orthogonally on R^n, P be the Chevalley polynomial mapping determined by an integrity basis of the algebra of W-invariant polynomials, and h be the highest degree of the coordinate polynomials in…

We consider a double phase Robin problem with a Carath\'{e}odory nonlinearity. When the reaction is superlinear but without satisfying the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition, we prove an existence theorem. When the reaction is resonant, we…

A weak version of Birkhoff's generalization of the Perron-Frobenius theorem states that every endomorphism of a finite-dimensional real vector that leaves invariant a non-degenerate closed convex cone has an eigenvector in that cone. Here,…

We study Frobenius extensions which are free-filtered by a totally ordered, finitely generated abelian group, and their free-graded counterparts. First we show that the Frobenius property passes up from a free-graded extension to a…

We consider a macroscopic quantum system such as a qubit, interacting with a bath of fermions as in the Fr\"ohlich polaron model. The interaction Hamiltonian is thus linear in the macroscopic system variable, and bilinear in the fermions.…

Ultrafilters are very useful and versatile objects with applications throughout mathematics: in topology, analysis, combinarotics, model theory, and even theory of social choice. Proofs based on ultrafilters tend to be shorter and more…

From the perspective of $\tau$-tilting theory, we study Frobenius--Perron dimensions of finite-dimensional algebras. First, we evaluate the Frobenius--Perron dimensions of $\tau$-tilting finite algebras by a combinatorial method in…

We introduce the \emph{Parry order} $\mathrm{Ord}_P(\beta)$, defined as the largest integer $n$ for which $\beta^n$ is a Parry number. This leads to a natural partition of the set of Perron numbers as follows: \[ \mathcal{P} = \left(…

Let $M_1,M_2,\ldots,M_k$ be a collection of matroids on the same ground set $E$. A coloring $c:E \rightarrow \{1,2,\ldots,k\}$ is called \emph{cooperative} if for every color $j$, the set of elements in color $j$ is independent in $M_j$. We…

We use the probabilistic method to obtain versions of the colorful Carath\'eodory theorem and Tverberg's theorem with tolerance. In particular, we give bounds for the smallest integer $N=N(t,d,r)$ such that for any $N$ points in $R^d$,…

The note is dedicated to provide a satisfying and complete answer to the long-standing Gaveau--Brockett open problem. More precisely, we determine the exact formula of the Carnot--Carath\'eodory distance on arbitrary step-two groups. The…

Recently, sum rules were derived for the inverse eigenvalues of the Dirac operator. They were obtained in two different ways: i) starting from the low-energy effective Lagrangian and ii) starting from a random matrix theory with the…

We prove two colorful Carath\'eodory theorems for strongly convex hulls, generalizing the colorful Carat\'eodory theorem for ordinary convexity by Imre B\'ar\'any, the non-colorful Carath\'eodory theorem for strongly convex hulls by the…

This note is a companion paper to arXiv:1608.01630 [math.CA]. Here we generalize some of the geometric results of arXiv:1608.01630 [math.CA] to the case of a $3\times 3$ matrix function $A(x)\approx \mathrm{diag}\{1,f(x_1), g(x_1)\}$. More…

We show that, consistently, every MAD family has cardinality strictly bigger than the dominating number, that is a > d, thus solving one of the oldest problems on cardinal invariants of the continuum. The method is a contribution to the…

We introduce complex cones and associated projective gauges, generalizing a real Birkhoff cone and its Hilbert metric to complex vector spaces. We deduce a variety of spectral gap theorems in complex Banach spaces. We prove a dominated…
