Generalizing work from the 1970s on the determinants of distance hypermatrices of trees, we consider the hyperdeterminants of order-$k$ Steiner distance hypermatrices of trees on $n$ vertices. We show that they can be nearly diagonalized as…

We fix three natural numbers $k, n, N$, such that $n+k+1=N$, and introduce the notion of two dual arrangements of hyperplanes. One of the arrangements is an arrangement of $N$ hyperplanes in a $k$-dimensional affine space, the other is an…

We establish a determinant formula for the bilinear form associated with the elliptic hypergeometric integrals of type $BC_n$ by studying the structure of $q$-difference equations to be satisfied by them. The determinant formula is proved…

The Borcherds lift for indefinite unitary groups, previously constructed by the author, is examined here in greater detail for the special case of the group U(1,1). The inputs for the lifting in this case are weakly holomorphic modular…

We formulate the conditional Kolmogorov complexity of x given y at precision r, where x and y are points in Euclidean spaces and r is a natural number. We demonstrate the utility of this notion in two ways. 1. We prove a point-to-set…

A recurring task in particle physics and statistics is to compute the complex critical points of a product of powers of affine-linear functions. The logarithmic discriminant characterizes exponents for which such a function has a degenerate…

In this paper, we present an algorithm to compute a basis of the space of algebraic modular forms on the maximal order of the definite quaternion algebra of discriminant $2$, and provide a database of such bases. One of our motivations is…

Aleksandrov, and then Zeeman, showed that the causal relations among the set of points in a Minkowski space of dimension greater than 2 determine the Minkowski space structure of the set up to a global conformal factor. We show that in any…

We compute two parametric determinants in which rows and columns are indexed by compositions, where in one determinant the entries are products of binomial coefficients, while in the other the entries are products of powers. These results…

An arrangement of hyperplanes is a finite collection of hyperplanes in a real Euclidean space. To such a collection one associates the characteristic polynomial that encodes the combinatorics of intersections of the hyperplanes. Finding the…

Let $\D$ be a set of $n$ pairwise disjoint unit balls in $\R^d$ and $P$ the set of their center points. A hyperplane $\Hy$ is an \emph{$m$-separator} for $\D$ if each closed halfspace bounded by $\Hy$ contains at least $m$ points from $P$.…

In 1988 K. Falconer introduced a formula which predicts the value of the Hausdorff dimension of the attractor of an affine iterated function system. The value given by this formula -- sometimes referred to as the affinity dimension -- is…

We consider the problem of construction of determinant formulas for the partition function of the six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions. In pioneering works of Korepin and Izergin a determinant formula was proposed and…

In this article we prove in the main theorem that, there is a bijection between the isomorphism classes of a certain type of real hyperplane arrangements on the one hand, and the antipodal pairs of convex cones of an associated…

The characteristic polynomial plays an important role in study of hyperplane arrangements. There are several refinements of the characteristic polynomial. One of them is the coboundary polynomial defined by Crapo. Another refinement is the…

Let $p_n(x)$, $n=0,1,\dots$, be the orthogonal polynomials with respect to a given density $d\mu(x)$. Furthermore, let $d\nu(x)$ be a density which arises from $d\mu(x)$ by multiplication by a rational function in $x$. We prove a formula…

This paper considers an idempotent and symmetrical algebraic structure as well as some closely related concept. A special notion of determinant is introduced and a Cramer formula is derived for a class of limit systems derived from the…

Given two distributions $\mathcal{P}$ and $\mathcal{Q}$ over a high-dimensional domain $\{0,1\}^n$, and a parameter $\varepsilon$, the goal of distance estimation is to determine the statistical distance between $\mathcal{P}$ and…

We propose a formulation of the QCD partition function which leads to a series expansion of the quark determinant in any given baryonic sector. The r-th term gives the gauge-invariant contribution of the valence quarks plus r…

Recently the partial wave cutoff method was developed as a new calculational scheme for a functional determinant of quantum field theory in radial backgrounds. For the contribution given by an infinite sum of large partial waves, we derive…
