It is well known that every complex contact $3$-manifold, when regarded as a real manifold, gives rise to a fat $(4,6)$-distribution that admits two Reeb directions. Nonetheless, it was an open question whether the converse was true. This…
The Cartan $(2,3,5)$-distribution is a tangent distribution of rank~$2$ on a $5$-dimensional manifold satisfying certain generic conditions. The necessary and sufficient condition for a manifold to admit such a structure is established in…
This paper completes the foundations of neatly integrable normal distribution theory on manifolds with boundary. Normal distributions are those which contain vectors transverse to the boundary along its entirety. The theory is observed to…
We prove the conjecture of Falikman--Friedland--Loewy on the parity of the degrees of projective varieties of $n\times n$ complex symmetric matrices of rank at most $k$. We also characterize the parity of the degrees of projective varieties…
The number of singularities, counted with multiplicity, of a generic codimension one holomorphic distribution on a compact toric orbifold is determined. As a consequence, we give the classification of regular distributions on rational…
We characterize the generating function of bipartite planar maps counted according to the degree distribution of their black and white vertices. This result is applied to the solution of the hard particle and Ising models on random planar…
In this paper we investigate the relation between Abelian and non-Abelian groups of parity. The Abelian groups of parity are formed as kernels of homomorphisms of parity in group $\mmathbb{Z}^{n}$ and the non-Abelian groups of parity are…
In 1910 E. Cartan constructed a canonical frame and found the most symmetric case for maximally nonholonomic rank 2 distributions in $\mathbb R^5$. We solve the analogous problem for germs of generic rank 2 distributions in ${\mathbb R}^n$…
Given a family $(q_k)_k$ of polynomials, we call an open set $U$ root-sparse if the number of zeros of $q_k$ is locally uniformly bounded on $U$. We study the interplay between the individual zeros of the polynomials $q_k$ and those of the…
Let E be a one-parameter family of elliptic curves over a number field. It is natural to expect the average root number of the curves in the family to be zero. All known counterexamples to this folk conjecture occur for families obeying a…
Given two smooth manifolds with tangent subbundle distributions, an embedding is Pfaffian if its differential sends the distribution on the source into the distribution on the target. In this paper, we consider the question of existence of…
In the 1960's, Birch proved that the traces of Frobenius for elliptic curves taken at random over a large finite field is modeled by the semicircular distribution (i.e. the usual Sato-Tate for non-CM elliptic curves). In analogy with…
A singular foliation is called a singular Riemannian foliation (SRF) if every geodesic that is perpendicular to one leaf is perpendicular to every leaf it meets. A typical example is the partition of a complete Riemannian manifold into…
The recursive and hierarchical structure of full rooted trees is applicable to represent statistical models in various areas, such as data compression, image processing, and machine learning. In most of these cases, the full rooted tree is…
We answer a question posed by Love asking about a correspondence between isogenies from a supersingular elliptic curve to its Frobenius base-change and rank-2 sublattices of its Gross lattice. We recast the question as one about the…
We study the behavior under twisting of the Selmer rank parities of a self-dual prime-degree isogeny on a principally polarized abelian variety defined over a number field, subject to compatibility relations between the twists and the…
This paper is devoted to the study of codimension two holomorphic foliations and distributions. We prove the stability of complete intersection of codimension two distributions and foliations in the local case. Converserly we show the…
In this paper, we study compound bi-free Poisson distributions for {\sl two-faced families of random variables}. We prove a Poisson limit theorem for compound bi-free Poisson distributions. Furthermore, a bi-free infinitely divisible…
Several polytopes arise from finite graphs. For edge and symmetric edge polytopes, in particular, exhaustive computation of the Ehrhart polynomials not merely supports the conjecture of Beck {\it et al.}\ that all roots $\alpha$ of Ehrhart…
Given a smooth totally nonholonomic distribution on a smooth manifold, we construct a singular distribution capturing essential abnormal lifts which is locally generated by vector fields with controlled divergence. Then, as an application,…
