Using an application of Schmidt's Subspace Theorem, this paper gives new transcendence criteria for rapidly converging infinite products of algebraic numbers. The paper also improves existing criteria for irrationality of products and…
Recently, a method to compute the implicit equation of a parametrized hypersurface has been developed by the authors. We address here some questions related to this method. First, we prove that the degree estimate for the stabilization of…
Consider a finite Blaschke product $f$ with $f(0) = 0$ which is not a rotation and denote by $f^n$ its $n$-th iterate. Given a sequence $\{a_n\}$ of complex numbers, consider the series $F(z) = \sum_n a_n f^n(z).$ We show that for any $w…
For a compact and convex window, Mecke described a process of tessellations which arise from cell divisions in discrete time. At each time step, one of the existing cells is selected according to an equally-likely law. Independently, a line…
We prove the $l^2$ Decoupling Conjecture for compact hypersurfaces with positive definite second fundamental form and also for the cone. This has a wide range of important consequences. One of them is the validity of the Discrete…
For a simplicial complex $\Delta$ we study the effect of barycentric subdivision on ring theoretic invariants of its Stanley-Reisner ring. In particular, for Stanley-Reisner rings of barycentric subdivisions we verify a conjecture by Huneke…
A set-system $S\subseteq \{0,1\}^n$ is cube-ideal if its convex hull can be described by capacity and generalized set covering inequalities. In this paper, we use combinatorics, convex geometry, and polyhedral theory to give exponential…
The Borsuk conjecture and the V\'azsonyi problem are two attractive and famous questions in discrete and combinatorial geometry, both based on the notion of diameter of a bounded sets. In this paper, we present an equivalence between the…
We study the universal closest refinement problem on measurable bipartite relations over standard Borel spaces. Given prescribed side measures, the feasible class consists of finite refinement plans concentrated on the relation and carrying…
The descent method is one of the approaches to study the Brauer--Manin obstruction to the local--global principle and to weak approximation on varieties over number fields, by reducing the problem to ``descent varieties''. In recent lecture…
We prove the Categorified Wrapping Number Conjecture for large classes of annular links, including alternating annular links and tangle closures exhibiting plumbed link phenomena. We do so by characterizing when a resolution is sufficient…
We prove that the Hilbert geometry of a product of convex sets is bi-lipschitz equivalent the direct product of their respective Hilbert geometries. We also prove that the volume entropy is additive with respect to product and that…
In this paper we study convex subcomplexes of spherical buildings. We pay special attention to fixed point sets of type-preserving isometries of spherical buildings. This sets are also convex subcomplexes of the natural polyhedral structure…
The Frankl conjecture (called also union-closed sets conjecture) is one of the famous unsolved conjectures in combinatorics of finite sets. In this short note, we introduce and to some extent justify some variants of the Frankl conjecture.
We study inequalities that simultaneously relate the number of lattice points, the volume and the successive minima of a convex body to one another. One main ingredient in order to establish these relations is Blaschke's shaking procedure,…
Consider the classical $(2+1)$-dimensional Solid-On-Solid model above a hard wall on an $L\times L$ box of $\bbZ^2$. The model describes a crystal surface by assigning a non-negative integer height $\eta_x$ to each site $x$ in the box and 0…
M. Crouzeix formulated the following conjecture in (Integral Equations Operator Theory 48, 2004, 461--477): For every square matrix $A$ and every polynomial $p$, $$ \|p(A)\| \le 2 \max_{z\in W(A)}|p(z)|, $$ where $W(A)$ is the numerical…
In this expository paper we discuss the volume product P(K) of convex bodies K in $R^n$; this is the product of volumes of K and its polar K*. The Blaschke- Santalo inequalities state that always $ P(K) \le P(B_2)$ and $ P(B_1)\le P(K)$ .…
We perform a fundamental investigation of the complexity of conjunctive query evaluation from the perspective of parameterized complexity. We classify sets of boolean conjunctive queries according to the complexity of this problem. Previous…
We conjecture an exact formula for the Kontsevich integral of the unknot, and also conjecture a formula (also conjectured independently by Deligne) for the relation between the two natural products on the space of Chinese characters. The…
