This paper presents new probability inequalities for sums of independent, random, self-adjoint matrices. These results place simple and easily verifiable hypotheses on the summands, and they deliver strong conclusions about the…
Higher-order spacing ratios are investigated analytically using a Wigner-like surmise for Gaussian ensembles of random matrices. For $k$-th order spacing ratio $(r^{(k)}$, $k>1)$ the matrix of dimension $2k+1$ is considered. A universal…
Let (G, +) be an abelian group. A subset of G is sumfree if it contains no elements x, y, z such that x +y = z. We extend this concept by introducing the Schur degree of a subset of G, where Schur degree 1 corresponds to sumfree. The…
The present authors introduced a two-color partition series $S(q)$ and conjectured a Hecke-type formula for the even part of $(q^4;q^4)_\infty S(q)$. Banerjee and Bringmann proved the conjecture by using indefinite theta functions, modular…
Galois orders, introduced in 2010 by V. Futorny and S. Ovsienko, form a class of associative algebras that contain many important examples, such as the enveloping algebra of $\mathfrak{gl}_n$ (as well as its quantum deformation),…
Sumsets are central objects in additive combinatorics. In 2007, Granville asked whether one can efficiently recognize whether a given set $S$ is a sumset, i.e. whether there is a set $A$ such that $A+A=S$. Granville suggested an algorithm…
We introduce the notion of pure extending modules, a refinement of classical extending modules in which only pure submodules are required to be essential in direct summands. Fundamental properties and characterizations are established,…
We present a new method for constructing affine families of complex Hadamard matrices in every even dimension. This method has an intersection with the Di\c{t}\u{a} construction and it generalizes the Sz\"oll\H{o}si's method. We reproduce…
This paper is an enhanced version of a more than decade-older paper with a similar title. Many formulae involving both finite and infinite sums of digamma and polygamma functions up to quadratic order, few of which appear in standard…
The interest for uniformly distributed (u.d.) sequences of points, in particular for sequences with small discrepancy, arises from various applications. For instance, low-discrepancy sequences, which are sequences with a discrepancy of…
In a recent article J. Phys. Compl. 4 (2023) 035005, Kawamoto evoked statistical physics methods for the problem of counting graphs with a prescribed degree sequence. This treatment involved truncating a particular Taylor expansion at the…
Given a set of integers $A$ and an integer $k$, write $A+k\cdot A$ for the set $\{a+kb:a\in A,b\in A\}$. Hanson and Petridis showed that if $|A+A|\le K|A|$ then $|A+2\cdot A|\le K^{2.95}|A|$. At a presentation of this result, Petridis…
This article describes the use of symplectic cut-and-paste methods to compute Gromov-Witten invariants. Our focus is on recent advances extending these methods to Kahler surfaces with geometric genus p_g>0, for which the usual GW invariants…
We examine exponential sums of the form $\sum_{n \le X} w(n) e^{2\pi i\alpha n^k}$, for $k=1,2$, where $\alpha$ satisfies a generalized Diophantine approximation and where $w$ are different arithmetic functions that might be multiplicative,…
Recently [Karimipour and Memarzadeh, Phys. Rev. A 73, 012329 (2006)] studied the problem of finding a family of orthonormal bases in a bipartite space each of dimension $D$ with the following properties: (i) The family continuously…
In this paper, we study the alternating Euler $T$-sums and $\S$-sums, which are infinite series involving (alternating) odd harmonic numbers, and have similar forms and close relations to the Dirichlet beta functions. By using the method of…
We consider the distribution of quadratic Gauss paths, polygonal paths joining partial sums of quadratic Gauss sums to square-free fundamental discriminant moduli in a dyadic range [Q,2Q]. We prove that this striking ensemble converges in…
Let $n$ and $k$ be natural numbers such that $2^k < n$. We study the restriction to $\mathfrak{S}_{n-2^k}$ of odd-degree irreducible characters of the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$. This analysis completes the study begun in [Ayyer A.,…
Let $g$ be a random matrix distributed according to uniform probability measure on the finite general linear group $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$. We show that $\mathrm{Tr}(g^k)$ equidistributes on $\mathbb{F}_q$ as $n \to \infty$ as long as…
An order ideal is a finite poset X of (monic) monomials such that, whenever M is in X and N divides M, then N is in X. If all, say t, maximal monomials of X have the same degree, then X is pure (of type t). A pure O-sequence is the vector,…
