In the setting of CAT(k) spaces, common fixed point iterations built from prox mappings (e.g. prox-prox, Krasnoselsky-Mann relaxations, nonlinear projected-gradients) converge locally linearly under the assumption of linear metric…

Let $K$ be the compact Lie group $USp(N/2)$ or $SO(N, R)$. Let $M^K_n$ be the moduli space of framed K-instantons over $S^4$ with the instanton number $n$. By Donaldson (1984), $M^K_n$ is endowed with a natural scheme structure. It is a…

We consider an $\alpha$-relaxed projection $P_A^\alpha:H\to H$ given by $P_A^\alpha(x)=\alpha P_A(x)+(1-\alpha)x$ where $\alpha\in[0,1]$ and $P_A$ is the projection onto a non-empty, convex and closed subset $A$ of the real Hilbert space…

An important result in real algebraic geometry is the projection theorem: every projection of a semialgebraic set is again semialgebraic. This theorem and some of its conclusions lie at the basis of many other results, for example the…

Let $\Delta_n$ and $Q_n$ denote the regular $n$-simplex of side length $\sqrt{2}$ embedded in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ and the volume one cube in $\mathbb{R}^n$, respectively. We derive a closed-form formula for the hyperplane volume projections…

We construct certain non-degenerate maps and sets, mainly in the complex-analytic category. For example, we show that for every countable subset S in an irreducible complex space X there exists a holomorphic map from the unit disk to X such…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$, and $V$ be a vector bundle over $X$. It is well known that if $X$ is a curve and $V$ is not strongly semistable, then some Frobenius pullback…

We show that noncongruence subgroups of SL_2(Z) projectively equivalent to congruence subgroups are ubiquitous. More precisely, they always exist if the congruence subgroup in question is a principal congruence subgroup Gamma(N) of level…

Let $n \geq 2$ be an integer such that an equiangular set of vectors $w_1, \ldots, w_d$ of the maximal possible cardinality (in relation to the the general Gerzon upper bound) exists in $\mathbb{K}^n$, where $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or…

The projector onto the Minkowski sum of closed convex sets is generally not equal to the sum of individual projectors. In this work, we provide a complete answer to the question of characterizing the instances where such an equality holds.…

Using the Gandy -- Harrington topology and other methods of effective descriptive set theory, we prove several theorems on compact and sigma-compact pointsets. In particular we show that any $\Sigma^1_1$ set $A$ of the Baire space $N^N$…

Given a finite set, $X$, of points in projective space for which the Hilbert function is known, a standard result says that there exists a subset of this finite set whose Hilbert function is ``as big as possible'' inside $X$. Given a finite…

Let $\Pi_q$ be an arbitrary finite projective plane of order $q$. A subset $S$ of its points is called saturating if any point outside $S$ is collinear with a pair of points from $S$. Applying probabilistic tools we improve the upper bound…

One of the earliest results in enumerative combinatorial geometry is the following theorem of de Bruijn and Erd\H{o}s: Every set of points $E$ in a projective plane determines at least $|E|$ lines, unless all the points are contained in a…

The Kirchberg Embedding Problem (KEP) asks if every C*-algebra embeds into an ultrapower of the Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_2$. In an effort to provide a negative solution to the KEP and motivated by the recent refutation of the Connes…

We consider the possible sizes of large sumfree sets contained in the discrete hypercube $\{1,...,n\}^k$, and we determine upper and lower bounds for the maximal size as $n$ becomes large. We also discuss a continuous analogue in which our…

Totally complex submanifolds of a quaternionic K\"{a}hler manifold are analogous to complex submanifolds of a K\"{a}hler manifold. In this paper, we construct an example of a non-compact totally complex submanifold of maximal dimension of a…

The simplest condition characterizing quasi-finite CW complexes $K$ is the implication $X\tau_h K\implies \beta(X)\tau K$ for all paracompact spaces $X$. Here are the main results of the paper: Theorem: If $\{K_s\}_{s\in S}$ is a family of…

We consider union-closed set systems with infinite breadth, focusing on three particular configurations ${\mathcal T}_{\rm max}(E)$, ${\mathcal T}_{\rm min}(E)$ and ${\mathcal T}_{\rm ort}(E)$. We show that these three configurations are…

In the Boolean lattice, Sperner's, Erd\H{o}s's, Kleitman's and Samotij's theorems state that families that do not contain many chains must have a very specific layered structure. We show that if instead of $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$ we work in…
