We study real numbers $\beta$ with the curious property that the $\beta$-expansion of all sufficiently small positive rational numbers is purely periodic. It is known that such real numbers have to be Pisot numbers which are units of the…

Let ${\cal M}_{I\!\! P^3}(c_1,c_2)$ be the moduli space of stable rank-$2$ vector bundles on $I\!\! P^3$ with Chern classes $c_1$, $ c_2$. We prove the following results. 1) Let $0 \le \beta < \gamma $ be two integers, ($\gamma \ge 2)$,…

Let $H\xrightarrow{s} G$ denote that any $s$-coloring of $E(H)$ contains a monochromatic $G$. The degree Ramsey number of a graph $G$, denoted by $R_\Delta(G, s)$, is $\min \{\Delta(H): H \xrightarrow{s} G \}$. We consider degree Ramsey…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and $f(x)$ be a polynomial with nonnegative integer coefficients. We prove that ${\rm lcm}_{\lceil n/2\rceil \le i\le n} \{f(i)\}\ge 2^n$ except that $f(x)=x$ and $n=1, 2, 3, 4, 6$ and that $f(x)=x^s$ with…

We investigate bounds for the multiplicities $m(\beta+i\gamma)$, where $\beta+i\gamma\,$ ($\beta\ge \1/2, \gamma>0)$ denotes complex zeros of $\zeta(s)$. It is seen that the problem can be reduced to the estimation of the integrals of the…

The conjecture of Kalai, Kleinschmidt, and Lee on the number of empty simplices of a simplicial polytope is established by relating it to the first graded Betti numbers of the polytope. The proof allows us to derive explicit optimal bounds…

Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be a local (Noetherian) ring of dimension $d$ and $M$ a finite length $R$-module with free resolution $G_\bullet$. De Stefani, Huneke, and N\'{u}\~{n}ez-Betancourt explored two questions about the properties of…

We obtain an asymptotic upper bound for the smallest number of generators for a finite direct sum of matrix algebras with entries in a finite field. This produces an upper bound for a similar quantity for integer matrix rings. We also…

The o-minimal structure generated by the restricted Pfaffian functions, known as restricted sub-Pfaffian sets, admits a natural measure of complexity in terms of a format $\mathcal{F}$, recording information like the number of variables and…

In this paper we present a way of computing a lower bound for genus of any smooth representative of a homology class of positive self-intersection in a smooth four-manifold $X$ with second positive Betti number $b_2^+(X)=1$. We study the…

We give a sufficient condition for a monomial ideal to have a nonzero Betti number in each multidegree. In the case of facet ideals of simplicial forests, this condition becomes a necessary one and it allows us to characterize Betti…

We generalize the geometric sequence $\{a^p, a^{p-1}b, a^{p-2}b^2,...,b^p\}$ to allow the $p$ copies of $a$ (resp. $b$) to all be different. We call the sequence $\{a_1a_2a_3\cdots a_p, b_1a_2a_3\cdots a_p, b_1b_2a_3\cdots a_p,\ldots,…

It is proved that if any Z-graded weak module for vertex operator algebra V is completely reducible, then V is rational and C_2-cofinite. That is, V is regular. This gives a natural characterization of regular vertex operator algebras.

Using basic properties of perverse sheaves, we give new upper bounds for compactly supported Betti numbers for arbitrary affine varieties in $\mathbb{A}^n$ defined by $r$ polynomial equations of degrees at most $d$. As arithmetic…

Let B be the Lie algebra with basis {L_{i,j},C|i,j\in Z} and relations [L_{i,j},L_{k,l}]=((j+1)k-i(l+1))L_{i+k,j+l}+i\delta_{i,-k}\delta_{j+l,-2}C, [C,L_{i,j}]=0. It is proved that an irreducible highest weight B-module is quasifinite if…

Let $A$ and $B$ be standard graded polynomial rings over a field $k$ and $I$ and $J$ be non-zero, proper homogeneous ideals contained in $A$ and $B$, respectively. Denote by $P$ the sum of $I$ and $J$ in $R=A\otimes_k B$. Under reasonable…

We study $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded identities of Lie superalgebras of the type $b(t), t\ge 2$, over a field of characteristic zero. Our main result is that the $n$-th codimension is strictly less than $(\dim b(t))^n$ asymptotically. As a…

A conjecture of De Concini Kac and Procesi provides a bound on the minimal possible dimension of an irreducible module for quantized enveloping algebras at an odd root of unity. We pose the problem of the existence of modules whose…
