We study the problem of constructing explicit families of matrices which cannot be expressed as a product of a few sparse matrices. In addition to being a natural mathematical question on its own, this problem appears in various…

A perfect matching in an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ is a set of vertex disjoint edges from $E$ that include all vertices in $V$. The perfect matching problem is to decide if $G$ has such a matching. Recently Rothvo{\ss} proved the striking…

In this note, we give two applications of \cite[Theorem 3.1]{Hwang}. We first study the free family $\mathcal{K}$ of hyperplane sections of the smooth hypersurface $X\subset\mathbb{P}^{n+1}$ of degree $d\ge 3$. We prove that $X$ is…

Let $E_1,\ldots,E_k$ be a collection of linear series on an algebraic variety $X$ over $\mathbb{C}$. That is, $E_i\subset H^0(X, \mathcal{L}_i)$ is a finite dimensional subspace of the space of regular sections of line bundles $…

Linear hypersurfaces over a field $k$ have been playing a central role in the study of some of the challenging problems on affine spaces. Breakthroughs on such problems have occurred by examining two difficult questions on linear…

Consider a system F of n polynomials in n variables, with a total of n+k distinct exponent vectors, over any local field L. We discuss conjecturally tight bounds on the maximal number of non-degenerate roots F can have over L, with all…

Let $k$ be a field and $V$ an $k$-vector space. For a family $\bar P=\{ P_i\}_{1\leq i\leq c}, $ of polynomials on $V$, we denote by $\mathbb X _{\bar P}\subset V$ the subscheme defined by the ideal generated by $ \bar P$. We show the…

This paper investigates a refinement of Marstrand's projection theorem; more specifically, let $\Pi_t, t\in[0,1]$ be a family of $m$ dimensional subspaces of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ and let $P_t:\mathbb{R}^4\mapsto \Pi_t$ be the…

We introduce and explore a new concept of evasive subspace with respect to a collection of subspaces sharing a common dimension, most notably partial spreads. We show that this concept generalises known notions of subspace scatteredness and…

In this paper we study constrained subspace approximation problem. Given a set of $n$ points $\{a_1,\ldots,a_n\}$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, the goal of the {\em subspace approximation} problem is to find a $k$ dimensional subspace that best…

We construct a $15$-dimensional affine variety $\Pi_{\mathbb{A}}^{15}$ with a ${\rm GL}_{2}$- and $(\mathbb{C}^{*})^{4}$-actions. We denote by $\Pi_{\mathbb{A}}^{14}$ the affine variety obtained from $\Pi_{\mathbb{A}}^{15}$ by setting one…

Following the example of Shor's algorithm for period-finding in the integers, we explore the hidden subgroup problem (HSP) for discrete infinite groups. On the hardness side, we show that HSP is NP-hard for the additive group of rational…
