We prove that the set of complex irrationals whose partial quotients in their Hurwitz continued fraction expansion are naturally regarded as subsets of $\mathbb Z^2$ and contain infinitely many homothetic copies of any finite subset of…

We present a general method for obtaining strong bounds for discrete optimization problems that is based on a concept of branching duality. It can be applied when no useful integer programming model is available, and we illustrate this with…

This article provides new lower bounds for both Schur and weak Schur numbers by exploiting a "template"-based approach. The concept of "template" is also generalized to weak Schur numbers. Finding new templates leads to explicit partitions…

Motivated by the realizability problem for principal tropical divisors with a fixed ramification profile, we explore the tropical geometry of the double ramification locus in $\mathcal{M}_{g,n}$.There are two ways to define a tropical…

In the paper, we study the asymptotic distribution of real algebraic integers of fixed degree as their naive height tends to infinity. Let $I \subset \mathbb{R}$ be an arbitrary bounded interval, and $Q$ be a sufficiently large number. We…

In the Hurwitz space of rational functions on CP^1 with poles of given orders, we study the loci of multisingularities, that is, the loci of functions with a given ramification profile over 0. We prove a recursion relation on the Poincare…

We prove a lower bound on the canonical height associated to polynomials over number fields evaluated at points with infinite forward orbit. The lower bound depends only on the degree of the polynomial, the degree of the number field, and…

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we introduce a family of generalized Markov-Hurwitz equations, extending classical Markov-Hurwitz equations with additional degree n-1 interaction terms, Gyoda and Matsushita's generalized Markov…

In computable analysis testing a real number for being zero is a fundamental example of a non-computable task. This causes problems for division: We cannot ensure that the number we want to divide by is not zero. In many cases, any real…

In this paper, we consider the so-called "Furstenberg set problem" in high dimensions. First, following Wolff's work on the two dimensional real case, we provide "reasonable" upper bounds for the problem for $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{F}_p$.…

In the paper, we study the asymptotic distribution of real algebraic integers of fixed degree as their na\"{\i}ve height tends to infinity. For an arbitrary interval $I \subset \mathbb{R}$ and sufficiently large $Q>0$, we obtain an…

We prove a conjecture by Diaz-Lopez et al. that bounds the roots of descent polynomials. To do so, we prove an algebraic inequality, which we refer to as the "Slice and Push Inequality." This inequality compares expressions that come from…

We establish the first effective improvements on the Liouville inequality for approximation to complex non-real algebraic numbers by complex algebraic numbers of degree at most 4.

A branch-and-bound (BB) tree certifies a dual bound on the value of an integer program. In this work, we introduce the tree compression problem (TCP): Given a BB tree T that certifies a dual bound, can we obtain a smaller tree with the same…

Hurwitz numbers are the Laurent coefficients of an elliptic function $\wp(u)$ of cyclotomic type, and they are natural generalization of the Bernoulli numbers. This paper gives new generalization of Bernoulli and Hurwitz numbers for higher…

We derive a closed-form expression for all genus 1 Hurwitz numbers, and give a simple new graph-theoretic interpretation of Hurwitz numbers in genus 0 and 1. (Hurwitz numbers essentially count irreducible genus g covers of the sphere, with…

In an earlier work, the first author and Petsche solved an energy minimization problem for local fields and used the result to obtain lower bounds on the height of algebraic numbers all whose conjugates lie in various local fields, such as…

In a recent paper, the first author provided some lower bounds to solutions of the equations of Fermat and Catalan, based on local power series developments at the ramified prime of a prime cyclotomic extension. Although both equations have…

We construct a class of finite rank multiplicative subgroups of the complex numbers such that the expansion of the real field by such a group is model-theoretically well-behaved. As an application we show that a classification of expansions…

In this paper, we study the real and the complex Waring rank of reducible cubic forms. In particular, we compute the complex rank of all reducible cubic forms. In the real case, for all reducible cubics, we either compute or bound the real…
