This paper gives new bounds on the first Hilbert coefficient of an ideal of finite colength in a Cohen-Macaulay local ring. The bound given is quadratic in the multiplicity of the ideal. We compare our bound to previously known bounds, and…
We consider the edge-isoperimetric problem on the graph of the infinite grid $\mathbb{N}^{2}$ in the $\ell_{\infty}$ metric. We first show that the solutions are not nested, so that techniques other than compressions have to be used. We…
We obtain a new lower bound on the radius of the largest ball of separable unnormalized states around the identity matrix for a 3-qubit system. This also enables us to improve the corresponding lower bounds for multi-qubit systems. These…
The Hasse-Weil-Serre bound is improved for curves of low genera over finite fields with discriminant in {-3,-4,-7,-8,-11,-19} by studying optimal curves.
We show that a complete contractible 3-manifold with positive scalar curvature and bounded geometry must be $\mathbb R^3$. We also show that an open handlebody of genus larger than 1 does not admit complete metrics with positive scalar…
We consider the case in which mixed graphs (with both directed and undirected edges) are Cayley graphs of Abelian groups. In this case, some Moore bounds were derived for the maximum number of vertices that such graphs can attain. We first…
Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a complex Hilbert space and let $A$ be a positive operator on $\mathcal{H}$. We obtain new bounds for the $A$-numerical radius of operators in semi-Hilbertian space $\mathcal{B}_A(\mathcal{H})$ that generalize and…
We prove some boundary rigidity results for the hemisphere under a lower bound for Ricci curvature. The main result can be viewed as the Ricci version of a conjecture of Min-Oo.
We give an explicitly computable lower bound for the arithmetic self-intersection number of the dualizing sheaf on a large class of arithmetic surfaces. If some technical conditions are satisfied, then this lower bound is positive. In…
We prove lower bounds on the error incurred when approximating any oscillating function using piecewise polynomial spaces. The estimates are explicit in the polynomial degree and have optimal dependence on the meshwidth and frequency when…
For estimating a lower bounded location or mean parameter for a symmetric and logconcave density, we investigate the frequentist performance of the $100(1-\alpha)%$ Bayesian HPD credible set associated with priors which are truncations of…
The symmetries of surfaces which can be embedded into the symmetries of the 3-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^3$ are easier to feel by human's intuition. We give the maximum order of finite group actions on $(\mathbb{R}^3, \Sigma)$…
We obtain improved lower bounds for additive spanners, additive emulators, and diameter-reducing shortcut sets. Spanners and emulators are sparse graphs that approximately preserve the distances of a given graph. A shortcut set is a set of…
If $\lambda$ is a positive real number strictly less than $\log3$, there is a positive number $V_\lambda$ such that every orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold of volume greater than $V_\lambda$ admits $\lambda$ as a Margulis number. If…
In this article, we classify (non-compact) $3$-manifolds with uniformly positive scalar curvature. Precisely, we show that an oriented $3$-manifold has a complete metric with uniformly positive scalar curvature if and only if it is…
We apply recently developed convex programs to find the minimal-area Riemannian metric on $2n$-sided polygons ($n\geq 3$) with length conditions on curves joining opposite sides. We argue that the Riemannian extremal metric coincides with…
Bandpass filtering techniques are widely used in spectroscopy. However, conventional symmetric-padding filtering methods introduce boundary artifacts that distort the signal at the edges. We present a rubber band filter: a robust method for…
The best degree-based upper bound for the spectral radius is due to Liu and Weng. This paper begins by demonstrating that a (forgotten) upper bound for the spectral radius dating from 1983 is equivalent to their much more recent bound. This…
The Sum of Squares algorithm for bin packing was defined in [2] and studied in great detail in [1], where it was proved that its worst case performance ratio is at most 3. In this note, we improve the asymptotic worst case bound to…
The note shows an easy way to improve E.H. Smith's packing density bound in $\mathbb{R}^3$ from $0.53835...$ to $0.54755...$ .
