We calculate the p-the moment of the sum of n independent random variables with respect to symmetric norm in R^n. The order of growth for upper bound p/ln p obtained in ths estimate is optimal. The result extends to generalized Lorentz…
We discuss a practical algorithm to compute parabolic Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials. As an application we compute Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials which are needed to evaluate a character formula for reductive groups due to Lusztig. Some…
We give a variant of Weyl's inequality for systems of forms together with applications. First we use this to give a different formulation of a theorem of B. J. Birch on forms in many variables. More precisely, we show that the dimension of…
Let $A = \{0 = a_0 < a_1 < \cdots < a_{\ell + 1} = b\}$ be a finite set of non-negative integers. We prove that the sumset $NA$ has a certain easily-described structure, provided that $N \geqslant b-\ell$, as recently conjectured by Shakan…
Consider a trigonometric polynomial f of degree N, and associate to it the polynomial F in which each coefficient of f is replaced by its absolute value. F is called the majorant of f. We show that the L^3 norm of f can be larger than that…
We prove fixed point theorems in a space with a distance function that takes values in a partially ordered monoid. On the one hand, such an approach allows one to generalize some fixed point theorems in a broad class of spaces, including…
This paper is motivated by two problems in the theory of Diophantine approximation, namely, Davenport's problem regarding badly approximable points on submanifolds of a Euclidean space and Schmidt's problem regarding the intersections of…
A Littlewood polynomial is a single-variable polynomial all of whose coefficients lie in $\{ \pm 1\}$. We establish the leading term asymptotics of the number of reciprocal or skew-reciprocal Littlewood polynomials with square discriminant.…
We prove sharp homogeneous improvements to $L^1$ weighted Hardy inequalities involving distance from the boundary. In the case of a smooth domain, we obtain lower and upper estimates for the best constant of the remainder term. These…
A general method to express in terms of Gauss sums the number of rational points of subschemes of projective schemes over finite fields is applied to the image of the triple embedding $\mathbb{P}^1\hookrightarrow\mathbb{P}^3$. As a…
The paper deals with the solution of Shevrin ans Sapir problem. Infinite finitely presented nilsemigroup is constructed. The construction is based on aperiodic tilings, Goodman-Strauss type theorems on uniformly elliptic space. Space is…
We study combinatorial inequalities for various classes of set systems: matroids, polymatroids, poset antimatroids, and interval greedoids. We prove log-concavity inequalities for counting certain weighted feasible words, which generalize…
We show convergence of small eigenvalues for geometrically finite hyperbolic $n$-manifolds under strong limits. For a class of convergent convex sets in a strongly convergent sequence of Kleinian groups, we use the spectral gap of the limit…
The lambda-dilate of a set A is lambda*A={lambda a : a \in A}. We give an asymptotically sharp lower bound on the size of sumsets of the form lambda_1*A+...+lambda_k*A for arbitrary integers lambda_1,...,lambda_k and integer sets A. We also…
Consider multiple sums $S_n$ on the $d$-dimensional integer grid,which are generated by i.i.d.\ random variables with a positive expectation. We prove the strong law of large numbers, the law of the iterated logarithm and the distributional…
We obtain a priori $L^\infty$ estimate for a general class of $(n-1)-$form fully nonlinear partial differential equations on compact Hermitian manifolds. Our method relies on the local version of comparison with auxiliary Monge-Amp\`ere…
A sharp estimation of the $L^p$-norms of some matrix coefficients of the square integrable representations is conjectured. The conjecture can be proved for integer values of $p$ using a result of J. Burbea.
An algebraic criterion that is sufficient to establish the existence of certain a priori estimates for the solution of first-order homogeneous linear characteristic problems is derived. Estimates of such kind ensure the stability of the…
In this paper we study quadratic forms which are universal when restricted to almost prime inputs, establishing finiteness theorems akin to the Conway--Schneeberger 15 theorem.
