We provide conjectural necessary and (separately) sufficient conditions for the Hilbert scheme of points of a given length to have the maximum dimension tangent space at a point. The sufficient condition is claimed for 3D and reduces the…
Motivated by recent results on radial projections and applications to the celebrated Falconer distance problem, we study radial projections in the setting of finite fields. More precisely, we extend results due to Mattila and Orponen…
In this paper we count the number of isomorphism classes of geometrically indecomposable quasi-parabolic structures of a given type on a given vector bundle on the projective line over a finite field. We give a conjectural cohomological…
We provide formulas for projectors onto a polyhedral set, i.e. the intersection of a finite number of halfspaces. To this aim we formulate the problem of finding the projection as a convex optimization problem and we solve explicitly…
We consider a geometric property of the closest-points projection to a geodesic in Teichm\"uller space: the projection is called contracting if arbitrarily large balls away from the geodesic project to sets of bounded diameter. (This…
The concept of spherical $t$-design, which is a finite subset of the unit sphere, was introduced by Delsarte-Goethals-Seidel (1977). The concept of Euclidean $t$-design, which is a two step generalization of spherical design in the sense…
The merit of projecting data onto linear subspaces is well known from, e.g., dimension reduction. One key aspect of subspace projections, the maximum preservation of variance (principal component analysis), has been thoroughly researched…
We show explicitly that all 2nd order superintegrable systems in 2 dimensions are limiting cases of a single system: the generic 3-parameter potential on the 2-sphere, S9 in our listing. We extend the Wigner-In\"on\"u method of Lie algebra…
We investigate the relationships between several classical notions in arithmetic combinatorics and geometry including: the presence (or lack of) arithmetic progressions (or patches in dimensions $\geq 2$); the structure of tangent sets; and…
We explore a notion of pseudofinite dimension, introduced by Hrushovski and Wagner, on an infinite ultraproduct of finite structures. Certain conditions on pseudofinite dimension are identified that guarantee simplicity or supersimplicity…
Finite-dimensional Quantum Mechanics can be geometrically formulated as a proper classical-like Hamiltonian theory in a projective Hilbert space. The description of composite quantum systems within the geometric Hamiltonian framework is…
Let $q\geq 2$ be an integer, and $\Bbb F_q^d$, $d\geq 1$, be the vector space over the cyclic space $\Bbb F_q$. The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, we obtain sufficient conditions on $E \subset \Bbb F_q^d$ such that the inverse…
Wavelet frames for $L^2({\mathbb R})$ can be characterized by means of spectral techniques. This work uses spectral formulas to determine all the tight wavelet frames for $L^2({\mathbb R})$ with a fixed finite number of generators of…
We compute many dimensions of spaces of finite type invariants of virtual knots (of several kinds) and the dimensions of the corresponding spaces of "weight systems", finding everything to be in agreement with the conjecture that "every…
The long-standing problem of minimal projections is addressed from a computational point of view. Techniques to determine bounds on the projection constants of univariate polynomial spaces are presented. The upper bound, produced by a…
In this article we construct many examples of properly convex irreducible domains divided by Zariski dense relatively hyperbolic groups in every dimension at least 3. This answers a question of Benoist. Relative hyperbolicity and non-strict…
In this paper, we introduce the framework of a generalized design, which represents any linear operator as a finite sum of local linear maps attached to finitely many points, thereby abstracting the core of design theory without employing…
We study the properties of a set of vectors called tight frames that obtained as the orthogonal projection of some orthonormal basis of $\R^n$ onto $\R^k.$ We show that a set of vectors is a tight frame if and only if the set of all cross…
It is conjectured that the dual variety of every smooth nonlinear subvariety of dimension $> \frac{2N}{3}$ in projective $N$-space is a hypersurface, an expectation known as the duality defect conjecture. This would follow from the truth of…
We study geometric properties of coordinate projections. Among other results, we show that if a body K in R^n has an "almost extremal" volume ratio, then it has a projection of proportional dimension which is close to the cube. We compare…
