For $m,n>0$ and $mn<0$ we estimate the sums \begin{equation*} \sum_{c \leq x} \frac{S(m,n,c,\chi)}{c}, \end{equation*} where the $S(m,n,c,\chi)$ are Kloosterman sums attached to a multiplier $\chi$ of weight $1/2$ on the full modular group.…
We prove the results about mixed Buchsbaum--Rim multiplicities announced in (9.10)(ii) on p.224 of our recent paper [J.Alg.(1994)], including a general mixed-multiplicity formula. In addition, we identify these multiplicities as the…
We prove that for the intermediate logics with the disjunction property any basis of admissible rules can be reduced to a basis of admissible m-rules (multiple-conclusion rules), and every basis of admissible m-rules can be reduced to a…
In this paper we prove criteria for a nonnormal toric variety to be flexible, to be rigid and to be almost rigid. For rigid and almost rigid toric varieties we describe the automorphism group explicitly.
A map between manifolds induces stratifications of both the source and the target according to the occurring multisingularities. In this paper, we study universal expressions-called higher Thom polynomials-that describe the…
We associate to any holomorphic vertex algebra a collection of Teichm\"{u}ller modular forms, one in each genus. In genus one we obtain the character of the vertex algebra, and we thus reprove Zhu's modularity result. In higher genus, we…
We present a proof that there is no single finite package of identities which characterizes the class of congruence meet semidistributive varieties.
We investigate a scheme-theoretic variant of Whitney condition a. If X is a projec-tive variety over the field of complex numbers and Y $\subset$ X a subvariety, then X satisfies generically the scheme-theoretic Whitney condition a along Y…
A notion of a nearly toric variety is introduced. The examples of nearly toric varieties in the context of Schubert varieties are discussed. In particular, combinatorial characterizations of the smooth and singular nearly toric Schubert…
A proof of the continuous martingale convergence theorem is provided. It relies on a classical martingale inequality and the almost sure convergence of a uniformly bounded non-negative super-martingale, after a truncation argument.
Let M be a Q-divisor on a smooth surface over C. In this paper we give criteria for very ampleness of the adjoint of the round-up of M. (Similar results for global generation were given by Ein and Lazarsfeld and used in their proof of…
A generalization of Young's inequality for convolution with sharp constant is conjectured for scenarios where more than two functions are being convolved, and it is proven for certain parameter ranges. The conjecture would provide a unified…
Let $\mathbf{A}$ be a finite algebra generating a finitely decidable variety and having nontrivial strongly solvable radical $\tau$. We provide an improved bound on the number of variables in which a term can be sensitive to changes within…
In this note, we study a certain class of trigonometric series which is important in many problems. An unproved statement in Zygmund's book [5] will be proved and generalized. Further discussions based on this problem will also be made…
We develop a theory of \emph{sharp measure zero} sets that parallels Borel's \emph{strong measure zero}, and prove a theorem analogous to Galvin-Myscielski-Solovay Theorem, namely that a set of reals has sharp measure zero if and only if it…
Is string theory uniquely determined by self-consistency? Causality and unitarity seemingly permit a multitude of putative deformations, at least at the level of two-to-two scattering. Motivated by this question, we initiate a systematic…
We show that a variety $\mathcal V$ is congruence distributive if and only if there is some $h$ such that the inclusion (1) $\Theta \cap ( \sigma \circ \sigma ) \subseteq ( \Theta \cap \sigma ) \circ ( \Theta \cap \sigma ) \circ \dots $…
The Burton--Keane theorem for the almost-sure uniqueness of infinite clusters is a landmark of stochastic geometry. Let $\mu$ be a translation-invariant probability measure with the finite-energy property on the edge-set of a…
In this note we define a $C^1$ function $F:[0,M]^2\to [0,2]$ that satisfies that its set of critical values has positive measure. This function provides an example, easier than those that usually appear in the literature, of how the order…
Varieties without deformations are defined over a number field. Several old and new examples of this phenomenon are discussed such as Bely\u \i\ curves and Shimura varieties. Rigidity is related to maximal Higgs fields which come from…
