We initiate the study of average intersection theory in real Grassmannians. We define the expected degree $\textrm{edeg} G(k,n)$ of the real Grassmannian $G(k,n)$ as the average number of real $k$-planes meeting nontrivially $k(n-k)$ random…
We study the probabilistic properties of the Greatest Increase Grid (GIG) digraph. We compute the probability of a particular sequence of directed edges connecting two random vertices. We compute the joint probability that a set of vertices…
A grid poset -- or grid for short -- is a product of chains. We ask, what does a random linear extension of a grid look like? In particular, we show that the average "jump number," i.e., the number of times that two consecutive elements in…
We use Stein's method to obtain bounds on the rate of convergence for a class of statistics in geometric probability obtained as a sum of contributions from Poisson points which are exponentially stabilizing, i.e. locally determined in a…
Given a rational elliptic surface X over an algebraically closed field, we investigate whether a given natural number k can be the intersection number of two sections of X. If not, we say that k a gap number. We try to answer when gap…
Integer sequences where each element is determined by a previous randomly chosen element are investigated analytically. In particular, the random geometric series x_n=2x_p with 0<=p<=n-1 is studied. At large n, the moments grow…
We study some basic algorithmic problems concerning the intersection of tropical hypersurfaces in general dimension: deciding whether this intersection is nonempty, whether it is a tropical variety, and whether it is connected, as well as…
The goal of this paper is to study a $p$-adic analog of the joint of the conjectures of Andr\'e--Oort and Andr\'e--Pink. More precisely, on a product of ordinary Siegel formal moduli schemes, we study the distribution of points whose…
The numerical range of a matrix is studied geometrically via the cone of positive semidefinite matrices (or semidefinite cone for short). In particular it is shown that the feasible set of a two-dimensional linear matrix inequality (LMI),…

This work proposes a proof of the simplest cubic primes counting problem. It shows that the subset of primes {p = n^3 + 2 is prime : n => 1} is an infinite subset of primes. Further, the expected order of magnitude of the cubic primes…
In recent work of T. Cassidy and the author, a notion of complete intersection was defined for (non-commutative) regular skew polynomial rings, defining it using both algebraic and geometric tools, where the commutative definition is a…
Inter-relations between random matrix ensembles with different symmetry types provide inter-relations between generating functions for the gap probabilites at the spectrum edge. Combining these in the scaled limit with the exact evaluation…
Consider the Hitting Set problem where, for a given universe $\mathcal{X} = \left\{ 1, ... , n \right\}$ and a collection of subsets $\mathcal{S}_1, ... , \mathcal{S}_m$, one seeks to identify the smallest subset of $\mathcal{X}$ which has…
We compute the uniform probability that finitely many polynomials over a finite field are pairwise coprime and compare the result with the formula one gets using the natural density as probability measure. It will turn out that the formulas…
This paper deals with properties of the algebraic variety defined as the set of zeros of a "typical" sequence of polynomials. We consider various types of "nice" varieties: set-theoretic and ideal-theoretic complete intersections,…
We consider artinian algebras $A=\mathbb{C}[x_0,\ldots,x_m]/I$, with $I$ generated by a regular sequence of homogeneous forms of the same degree $d\geq 2$. We show that the multiplication by a general linear form from $A_{d-1}$ to $A_d$ is…
We give a short determination of the distribution of the number of $\F_q$-rational points on a random trigonal curve over $\F_q$, in the limit as the genus of the curve goes to infinity. In particular, the expected number of points is…
We determine those maps between affine or projective spaces that are linear in the abstract sense of transforming collinear points into collinear points and whose restriction to any line is constant or injective. Our results are extensions…
We establish efficient approximate counting algorithms for several natural problems in local lemma regimes. In particular, we consider the probability of intersection of events and the dimension of intersection of subspaces. Our approach is…
