We present bijections for the planar cases of two counting formulas on maps that arise from the KP hierarchy (Goulden-Jackson and Carrell-Chapuy formulas), relying on a "cut-and-slide" operation. This is the first time a bijective proof is…
Three results in p-convex geometry are established. First is the analogue of the Levi problem in several complex variables, namely: local p-convexity implies global p-convexity. The second asserts that the support of a minimal p-dimensional…
We prove the following theorem. Let $\mu$ be a measure on $R^n$ with even continuous density, and let $K,L$ be origin-symmetric convex bodies in $R^n$ so that $\mu(K\cap H)\le \mu(L\cap H)$ for any central hyperplane H. Then $\mu(K)\le…
We present a new, very short proof of a conjecture by I. Ra\c{s}a, which is an inequality involving basic Bernstein polynomials and convex functions. It was affirmed positively very recently by J. Mrowiec, T. Rajba and S. W\k{a}sowicz…
In this paper, we prove a number of results providing either necessary or sufficient conditions guaranteeing that the number of real roots of real polynomials of a given degree is either less or greater than a given number. We also provide…
A planar point set is in convex position precisely when it has a convex polygonization, that is, a polygonization with maximum interior angle measure at most \pi. We can thus talk about the convexity of a set of points in terms of the…
We give an overview of the constrained Willmore problem and address some conjectures arising from partial results and numerical experiments. Ramifications of these conjectures would lead to a deeper understanding of the Willmore functional…
When studying the multilinear PageRank problem, a system of polynomial equations needs to be solved. In this paper, we develop convergence theory for a modified Newton method in a particular parameter regime. The sequence of vectors…
Suppose $d+1$ absolutely continuous probability measures $m_0, \ldots, m_d$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ are given. In this paper, we prove that there exists a point of $\mathbb{R}^d$ that belongs to the convex hull of $d+1$ points $v_0, \ldots, v_d$…
The main purpose of this paper is to provide a structure theorem for codimension one singular transversely projective foliationson projective manifolds. To reach our goal, we firstly extend Corlette-Simpson's classification of rank two…
We provide a simple proof of the radial symmetry of any nonnegative minimizer for a general class of quasi-linear minimization problems.
We prove that general unions of singularity schemes of multiplicity two in the projective plane have maximal rank.
We provide an alternative, simpler proof of the existence of thick triangulations for noncompact $\mathcal{C}^1$ manifolds. Moreover, this proof is simpler than the original one given in \cite{pe}, since it mainly uses tools of elementary…
We consider the problem of recovering low-rank matrices from random rank-one measurements, which spans numerous applications including covariance sketching, phase retrieval, quantum state tomography, and learning shallow polynomial neural…
In a very general quasilinear setting, we show that the regularizing effect of a first order term causes the existence of energy solutions for problems involving the Hardy potential and $L^1$ data. In the same setting we study sharp (local…
This work addresses the occupation measure relaxation of calculus of variations problems, which is an infinite-dimensional linear programming relaxation amenable to numerical approximation by a hierarchy of semidefinite optimization…
It is proved that every convex body in the plane has a point such that the union of the body and its image under reflection in the point is convex. If the body is not centrally symmetric, then it has, in fact, three affinely independent…
This paper concerns random bipartite planar maps which are defined by assigning weights to their faces. The paper presents a threefold contribution to the theory. Firstly, we prove the existence of the local limit for all choices of weights…
An approach is shown that proves various theorems of plane geometry in an algorithmic manner. The approach affords transparent proofs of a generalization of the Theorem of Morley and other well known results by casting them in terms of…
We settle three problems from the literature on stable and real zero polynomials and their connection to matroid theory. We disprove the weak real zero amalgamation conjecture by Schweighofer and the second author. We disprove a conjecture…
