We provide a categorical interpretation of a well-known identity from linear algebra as an isomorphism of certain functors between triangulated categories arising from finite dimensional algebras. As a consequence, we deduce that the Serre…
We point out how some recent developments in the theory of constant scalar curvature K\"ahler metrics can be used to clarify the existence issue for such metrics in the special case of geometrically ruled complex surfaces.
We consider the generalized weighted zeta function for a finite digraph, and show that it has the Ihara expression, a determinant expression of graph zeta functions, with a certain specified definition for inverse arcs. A finite digraph in…
Booher, Cais, Kramer-Miller and Upton study a class of $\mathbf{Z}_p$-tower of curves in characteristic $p$ with ramification controlled by an integer $d$. In the special case that $d$ divides $p-1$, they prove a formula for the higher…
Using the hierarchical approximation, we discuss the cut-off dependence of the renormalized quantities of a scalar field theory. The naturalness problem and questions related to triviality bounds are briefly discussed. We discuss unphysical…
We define a triangular array closely related to Stern's diatomic array and show that for a fixed integer $r\geq 1$, the sum $u_r(n)$ of the $r$th powers of the entries in row $n$ satisfy a linear recurrence with constant coefficients. The…
The theory of resurgence uniquely associates a factorially divergent formal power series with a collection of exponentially small non-perturbative corrections paired with a set of complex numbers known as Stokes constants. When the Borel…
We discuss the possibility of constructing a function that validates the definition or not definition of the partial recursive functions of one variable. This is a topic in computability theory, which was first approached by Alan M. Turing…
From the viewpoint of quantum walks, the Ihara zeta function of a finite graph can be said to be closely related to its evolution matrix. In this note we introduce another kind of zeta function of a graph, which is closely related to, as to…
In the 1980's Serre asked how many points of bounded height can lie in a thin set. This has motivated significant research ever since, culminating in a series of recent breakthroughs. It is a good time to take stock of the central questions…
We consider a certain linear recursive relation with integer parameters and study some of its algebraic and geometric properties, with the purpose of estimating the number of chains of valences in the Farey series.
The higher Leray-Serre spectral sequence associated with a tower of fibrations represents a generalization of the classical Leray-Serre spectral sequence of a fibration. In this work, we present algorithms to compute higher Leray-Serre…
A theory of recursive definitions has been mechanized in Isabelle's Zermelo-Fraenkel (ZF) set theory. The objective is to support the formalization of particular recursive definitions for use in verification, semantics proofs and other…
After a short review of the Method of Recursive Counting we introduce a general algebraic description of recursive lattice building. This provides a rigorous framework for discussion of method's limitations.
These lecture notes were written for a mini-course that was designed to introduce students and researchers to {\it $q$-series,} which are also called {\it basic hypergeometric series} because of the parameter $q$ that is used as a base in…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of order $q$. Iosevich and Rudnev (2005) proved that for any set $A\subset \mathbb{F}_q^d$, if $|A|\gg q^{\frac{d+1}{2}}$, then the distance set $\Delta(A)$ contains a positive proportion of all…
Let $\ell$ be a rational prime. Previously, abelian $\ell$-towers of multigraphs were introduced which are analogous to $\Z_{\ell}$-extensions of number fields. It was shown that for towers of bouquets, the growth of the $\ell$-part of the…
The arithmetic regularity lemma due to Green [GAFA 2005] is an analogue of the famous Szemer{\'e}di regularity lemma in graph theory. It shows that for any abelian group $G$ and any bounded function $f:G \to [0,1]$, there exists a subgroup…
In this paper we study quantitative recurrence and the shrinking target problem for dynamical systems coming from overlapping iterated function systems. Such iterated function systems have the important property that a point often has…
We give effective bounds for the class number of any algebraic function field of genus $g$ defined over a finite field. These bounds depend on the possibly partial information on the number of places on each degree $\leq g$. Such bounds are…
