This paper applies the multiplicity polar theorem to the study of hypersurfaces with non-isolated singularities. The multiplicity polar theorem controls the multiplicity of a pair of modules in a family by relating the multiplicity at the…

Given an elliptic curve defined over a number field $F$, we study the algebraic structure and prove a control theorem for Wuthrich's fine Mordell--Weil groups over a $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of $F$, generalizing results of Lee on the usual…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0 and let G be a symplectic or general linear group over k. We consider induced modules for G under the assumption that p is bigger than the greatest hook length in the partitions…

We introduce a spectrum for arbitrary varieties. This generalizes the definition by Steenbrink for hypersurfaces. In the isolated complete intersection singularity case, it coincides with the one given by Ebeling and Steenbrink except for…

A family of optimal control problems for a single and two coupled spinning particles in the Euler-Lagrange formalism is discussed. A characteristic of such problems is that the equations controlling the system are implicit and a reduction…

We introduce the intersection cohomology module of a matroid and prove that it satisfies Poincar\'e duality, the hard Lefschetz theorem, and the Hodge-Riemann relations. As applications, we obtain proofs of Dowling and Wilson's Top-Heavy…

We study the rank of complex sparse matrices in which the supports of different columns have small intersections. The rank of these matrices, called design matrices, was the focus of a recent work by Barak et. al. (BDWY11) in which they…

Let $S=k[x_1,..., x_n]$ be a polynomial ring over a field $k$ with $n$ variables $x_1$, ..., $x_n$, $\mmmm$ the irrelevant maximal ideal of $S$, $I$ a monomial ideal in $S$ and $I'$ the polarization of $I$ in the polynomial ring $S'$ with…

This paper studies the complexity of matrix Putinar's Positivstellens{\"a}tz on the semialgebraic set that is given by the polynomial matrix inequality. \rev{When the quadratic module generated by the constrained polynomial matrix is…

We consider some combinatorial problems on matrix polynomials over finite fields. Using results from control theory we give a proof of a result of Helmke, Jordan and Lieb on the number of linear unimodular matrix polynomials over a finite…

We extend the Ax-Katz theorem for a single polynomial from finite fields to the rings Z_m with m composite. This extension not only yields the analogous result, but gives significantly higher divisibility bounds. We conjecture what computer…

In this paper, we study some new examples of ideals on $\omega$ with maximal Tukey type (that is, maximal among partial orders of size continuum). This discussion segues into an examination of a refinement of the Tukey order -- known as the…

Answering a long-standing question in the theory of torsion modules, we show that weakly productively bounded domains are necessarily productively bounded. Moreover, we prove a twin result for the ideal lattice L of a domain equating weak…

We show that, in the character variety of surface group representations into the Lie group $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R}) \times \mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$, the compactification of the maximal component introduced by the second author is a…

We study a class of convex-concave min-max problems in which the coupled component of the objective is linear in at least one of the two decision vectors. We identify such problem structure as interpolating between the bilinearly and…

We demonstrate the synthesis of sparse sampling and machine learning to characterize and model complex, nonlinear dynamical systems over a range of bifurcation parameters. First, we construct modal libraries using the classical proper…

We consider the poset of weighted partitions $\Pi_n^w$, introduced by Dotsenko and Khoroshkin in their study of a certain pair of dual operads. The maximal intervals of $\Pi_n^w$ provide a generalization of the lattice $\Pi_n$ of…

Let $\Bbbk$ be a field and let $I$ be a monomial ideal in the polynomial ring $Q=\Bbbk[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$. In her thesis, Taylor introduced a complex which provides a finite free resolution for $Q/I$ as a $Q$-module. Later, Gemeda constructed…

We consider ideals in a polynomial ring generated by collections of power sum polynomials, and obtain conditions under which these define complete intersection rings, normal domains, and unique factorization domains. We also settle a key…

We show that certain superpotential and Kahler potential couplings of N=1 supersymmetric compactifications with branes or bundles can be computed from Hodge theory and mirror symmetry. This applies to F-theory on a Calabi-Yau four-fold and…
