This work shows that the smallest natural number $d_n$ that is not the determinant of some $n\times n$ binary matrix is at least $c\,2^n/n$ for $c=1/201$. That same quantity naturally lower bounds the number of distinct integers $D_n$ which…
A combinatorial rectangle may be viewed as a matrix whose entries are all +-1. The discrepancy of an m by n matrix is the maximum among the absolute values of its m row sums and n column sums. In this paper, we investigate combinatorial…
In this paper, by using a combinatorial approach, we establish a new upper bound for the F-threshold $c^\mm(\mm)$ of determinantal rings generated by maximal minors. We prove that $c^\mm(\mm)$ coincides with the $a$-invariant in the case of…

We consider the problem of bounding away from 0 the minimum value m taken by a polynomial P of Z[X_1,...,X_k] over the standard simplex, assuming that m>0. Recent algorithmic developments in real algebraic geometry enable us to obtain a…
Consider a random $n\times m$ matrix $A$ over the finite field of order $q$ where every column has precisely $k$ nonzero elements, and let $M[A]$ be the matroid represented by $A$. In the case that q=2, Cooper, Frieze and Pegden (RS\&A…
We study the optimization problem for decomposing $d$ dimensional fourth-order Tensors with $k$ non-orthogonal components. We derive \textit{deterministic} conditions under which such a problem does not have spurious local minima. In…

Let $f:(X,B)\to Z$ be a 3-fold extremal dlt flipping contraction defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>5$, such that the coefficients of $\{B\}$ are in the standard set $\{1-\frac 1n|n\in \mathbb N\}$, then the…
We give a lower bound for the degree of a finite apolar subscheme of a symmetric form F, in terms of the degrees of the generators of the annihilator ideal of F. In the special case, when F is a monomial x_0^d_0 x_2^d_2... x_n^d_n with…
We explore the distribution of class numbers $h(d)$ of indefinite binary quadratic forms, for discriminants $d$ such that the corresponding fundamental unit $\varepsilon_d$ is lower than $d^{1/2+\alpha}$, where $0<\alpha<1/2$. To do so we…
We show that absolutely minimizing functions relative to a convex Hamiltonian $H:\mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ are uniquely determined by their boundary values under minimal assumptions on $H.$ Along the way, we extend the known equivalences…

Blockwise determinantal ideals are those generated by the union of all the minors of specified sizes in certain blocks of a generic matrix, and they are the natural generalization of many existing determinantal ideals like the Schubert and…
Let $L$ be a separable quadratic extension of either $\mathbb{Q}$ or $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$. We propose efficient algorithms for finding isomorphisms between quaternion algebras over $L$. Our techniques are based on computing maximal one-sided…
