Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a complex semisimple Lie algebra with associated Yangian $Y_\hbar\mathfrak{g}$. In the mid-1990s, Khoroshkin and Tolstoy formulated a conjecture which asserts that the algebra $\mathrm{D}Y_\hbar\mathfrak{g}$ obtained…

The general formula for the universal R-matrix for quantized nontwisted affine algebras by Khoroshkin and Tolstoy is applied for zero central charge highest weight modules of the quantized affine algebras. It is shown how the universal…

We discuss a consequence of Green and Tao's factorisation theorem for polynomial orbits on nilmanifolds, adjusted to the requirements of certain arithmetic applications. More precisely, we prove a generalisation of Theorem 16.4, Acta Arith.…

Building on the Pusey-Barrett-Rudolph theorem, we derive a no-go theorem for a vast class of deterministic hidden-variables theories, including those consistent on their targeted domain. The strength of this result throws doubt on seemingly…

We give proofs of QR factorization, Cholesky's factorization, and LDU factorization using the inverse function theorem. As a consequence, we obtain analytic dependence of these matrix factorizations which does not follow immediately using…

The Grassmann convexity conjecture gives a conjectural formula for the maximal total number of real zeros of the consecutive Wronskians of an arbitrary fundamental solution to a disconjugate linear ordinary differential equation with real…

Studying the algebraic structure of the double ${\cal D}Y(g)$ of the yangian $Y(g)$ we present the triangular decomposition of ${\cal D}Y(g)$ and a factorization for the canonical pairing of the yangian with its dual inside ${\cal D}Y(g)$.…

We give an explicit construction of the factorizing twists for the Yangian Y(sl_2) in evaluation representations (not necessarily finite-dimensional). The result is a universal expression for the factorizing twist that holds in all these…

Kruskal's theorem states that a sum of product tensors constitutes a unique tensor rank decomposition if the so-called k-ranks of the product tensors are large. In this work, we propose a conjecture in which the k-rank condition of…

Let $(R,\fm,k)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring with dualizing complex $\dua R$, normalized by $\Ext^{\depth(R)}_R(k,\dua R)\cong k$. Partly motivated by a long standing conjecture of Tachikawa on (not necessarily commutative)…

The goal of the paper is to give a complete description of the images of noncommutative polynomials with zero constant term on upper triangular matrix algebras over an algebraically closed field. This is a variation of the old and famous…

Using techniques of algebraic and analytic number theory, we resolve a question on monoid rings posed by Kulosman, et. al., under the assumption of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH). Specifically, we show that under an appropriate…

We prove a generalization of Orlov's theorem for matrix factorizations with $n$ steps. Let $X$ be a regular scheme, $W\colon X\to \mathbb{A}^1$ a flat morphism and $D:=W^{-1}(0)$ its central fiber. We construct an appropriate triangulated…

We prove the conjectural correspondence between logarithmic Gromov-Witten theory and logarithmic Donaldson/Pandharipande-Thomas theory for pairs $(Y|\partial Y)$ consisting of a toric threefold $Y$ and any torus invariant divisor $\partial…

For a function $W\in \mathbb{C}[X]$ on a smooth algebraic variety $X$ with Morse-Bott critical locus $Y\subset X$, Kapustin, Rozansky and Saulina suggest that the associated matrix factorisation category $\mathrm{MF}(X;W)$ should be…

Building on the work of the fourth author in math.AG/9904074, we prove the weak factorization conjecture for birational maps in characteristic zero: a birational map between complete nonsingular varieties over an algebraically closed field…

We study the conjecture due to V.\,V. Shokurov on characterization of toric varieties. We also consider one generalization of this conjecture. It is shown that none of the characterizations holds true in dimension $\ge 3$. Some weaker…

We prove that every positive semidefinite matrix over the natural numbers that is eventually 0 in each row and column can be factored as the product of an upper triangular matrix times a lower triangular matrix. We also extend some known…

The Nekrasov conjecture predicts a relation between the partition function for N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and the Seiberg-Witten prepotential. For instantons on R^4, the conjecture was proved, independently and using different…

This paper proves some results concerning the polar factorisation of an integrable vector-valued function u into the composition of the gradient of a convex function with a measure-preserving mapping. Not every integrable function has a…
