Let $A$ be an associative algebra with a superinvolution $*$ over a field of characteristic zero, and let $c_n^*(A)$, $n = 1, 2, \ldots$, denote its sequence of $*$-codimensions. It is well known that this sequence is either polynomially…
This is to suggest a new approach to the old and open problem of counting the number f_n of Z-singular n x n matrices with entries from {-1,+1}: Comparison of two measures, none of them the uniform measure, one of them closely related to…
General properties of eigenvalues of $A+\tau uv^*$ as functions of $\tau\in\Comp$ or $\tau\in\Real$ or $\tau=\e^{\ii\theta}$ on the unit circle are considered. In particular, the problem of existence of global analytic formulas for…
A singular polynomial is one which is annihilated by all Dunkl operators for a certain parameter value. These polynomials were first studied by Dunkl, de Jeu and Opdam, (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 346 (1994), 237-256). This paper constructs a…
Polynomial identity testing and arithmetic circuit lower bounds are two central questions in algebraic complexity theory. It is an intriguing fact that these questions are actually related. One of the authors of the present paper has…
Generalised matrix elements of the irreducible representations of the quantum $SU(2)$ group are defined using certain orthonormal bases of the representation space. The generalised matrix elements are relatively infinitesimal invariant with…
We study quadratic algebras over a field $\textbf{k}$. We show that an $n$-generated PBW algebra $A$ has finite global dimension and polynomial growth \emph{iff} its Hilbert series is $H_A(z)= 1 /(1-z)^n$. Surprising amount can be said when…
The singleton and doubleton minors of a polymatroid $\rho$ encode a surprising amount of information about the structural complexity of $\rho$. Given any polymatroid $\rho$, we can subtract from it a maximally-separated polymatroid,…
The classical Gauss--Lucas theorem describes the location of the critical points of a polynomial. There is also a hyperbolic version, due to Walsh, in which the role of polynomials is played by finite Blaschke products on the unit disk. We…
Gowers and Hatami initiated the inverse theory for the uniformity norms $U^k$ of matrix-valued functions on non-abelian groups by proving a $1\%$-inverse theorem for the $U^2$-norm and relating it to stability questions for almost…
Given a random $n \times n$ symmetric matrix $\boldsymbol W$ drawn from the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE), we consider the problem of certifying an upper bound on the maximum value of the quadratic form $\boldsymbol x^\top \boldsymbol…
In 1982, Tamaki Yano proposed a conjecture predicting how is the set of $b$-exponents of an irreducible plane curve singularity germ which is generic in its equisingularity class. In 1986, Pi.~Cassou-Nogu\`es proved the conjecture for the…
We study two-dimensional cyclic quotient singularities defined by $k$-Wahl chains, a class of Hirzebruch--Jung continued fractions obtained inductively starting from $[k+2]$. This class includes the classical Wahl singularities in the case…
We consider the analytic properties of Feynman integrals from the perspective of general A-discriminants and A-hypergeometric functions introduced by Gelfand,Kapranov and Zelevinsky (GKZ). This enables us, to give a clear and mathematically…
We study regular inclusions of finite-dimensional von Neumann algebras from a matrix-theoretic perspective. To this end, we introduce a new combinatorial invariant of an inclusion, called the normalizer matrix, which encodes the structure…
A collection of orthonormal bases for a complex dXd Hilbert space is called mutually unbiased (MUB) if for any two vectors v and w from different bases the square of the inner product equals 1/d: |<v,w>| ^{2}=1/d. The MUB problem is to…
We prove that for an irreducible representation $\tau:GL(n)\to GL(W)$, the associated homogeneous ${\bf P}_k^n$-vector bundle $W_{\tau}$ is strongly semistable when restricted to any smooth quadric or to any smooth cubic in ${\bf P}_k^n$,…
Two-particle scattering amplitudes for integrable relativistic quantum field theory in 1+1 dimensions can normally have at most singularities of poles and zeros along the imaginary axis in the complex rapidity plane. It has been supposed…
We prove that hypersurfaces defined by irreducible square-free polynomials have rational singularities. As an easy consequence, we deduce that certain (possibly non-square-free) polynomials associated to pairs of square-free polynomials…
We analyze causality and unitarity constraints in graviton scattering amplitudes, aiming to establish new bounds on theories with $U(1)$-gravitational anomalies, such as axion models or strongly-coupled gauge theories. For this purpose, we…
