We prove that for a large class of multiplicative functions, referred to as generalized divisor functions, it is possible to find a lower bound for the corresponding variance in arithmetic progressions. As a main corollary, we deduce such a…

We prove the precise inversion of adjunction formula for quotient singularities and klt Cartier divisors. As an application, we prove the semi-continuity of minimal log discrepancies for klt hyperquotient singularities.

We prove that the existence of log minimal models in dimension $d$ essentially implies the LMMP with scaling in dimension $d$. As a consequence we prove that a weak nonvanishing conjecture in dimension $d$ implies the minimal model…

We survey results concerning behavior of positivity of line bundles and possible vanishing theorems in positive characteristic. We also try to describe variation of positivity in mixed characteristic. These problems are very much related to…

In the paper we study the subject of positivity of systems with sequential fractional difference. We give formulas for the unique solutions of systems in linear and semi-linear cases. The positivity of systems is considered.

We study the equivalence of approaching zero for two invariants of a singularity: the minimal log discrepancy and the log canonical threshold of the general hyperplane section.

Let $x$ and $n$ be positive integers. We prove a non-trivial lower bound for $x$, dependant only on $\omega_n$, the number of distinct prime factors of $x^n-1$. By considering the divisibility of $\varphi \mid x^n-1$ for $\varphi \mid n$,…

Let $(X,\Delta)$ be a projective log canonical pair such that $\Delta \geq A$ where $A \geq 0$ is an ample $\mathbb{R}$-divisor. We prove that either $(X,\Delta)$ has a good minimal model or a Mori fibre space. Moreover, if $X$ is…

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce and study the behavior of minimum {\phi}-divergence estimators as an alternative to the maximum likelihood estimator in latent class models for binary items. As it will become clear below,…

M-type smoothing splines are a broad class of spline estimators that include the popular least-squares smoothing spline but also spline estimators that are less susceptible to outlying observations and model-misspecification. However,…

We introduce a class of singular log schemes in three dimensions and conjecture that log schemes in this class admit log crepant log resolutions. We provide examples as evidence and relate this conjecture to the conjecture made in [4] and…

We define higher pro-Albanese functors for every effective log motive over a field $k$ of characteristic zero, and we compute them for every smooth log smooth scheme $X=(\underline{X}, \partial X)$. The result involves an inverse system of…

This paper addresses the qualitative theory of mixed-order positive linear coupled systems with bounded or unbounded delays. First, we introduce a general result on the existence and uniqueness of solutions to mixed-order linear coupled…

We show that the existence of arithmetic progressions with few primes, with a quantitative bound on "few", implies the existence of larger gaps between primes less than x than is currently known unconditionally. In particular, we derive…

We prove that the log canonical threshold of the base ideal of a complete linear system on a complex abelian variety is $\ge 1$, and equality holds if and only if the base locus has divisorial components. Consequently the same assertions…

Discriminative linear models are a popular tool in machine learning. These can be generally divided into two types: The first is linear classifiers, such as support vector machines, which are well studied and provide state-of-the-art…

Numerical solutions of differential equations are usually not smooth functions. However, they should resemble the smoothness of the corresponding real solutions in one way or another. In two of our recent papers, a kind of spacial…

We present a new relation between an invariant of singularities in characteristic zero (the log canonical threshold) and an invariant of singularities defined via the Frobenius morphism in positive characteristic (the F-pure threshold). We…

Over the past decades, the concept "partial smoothness" has been playing as a powerful tool in several fields involving nonsmooth analysis, such as nonsmooth optimization, inverse problems and operation research, etc. The essence of partial…

We give a new proof of the Mordell-Lang conjecture in positive characteristic for finitely generated subgroups. We also make some progress towards the full Mordell-Lang conjecture in positive characteristic.
