These notes are the written version of my lectures at the Banach Center mini-school "Schubert Varieties" in Warsaw, May 18-22, 2003. Their aim is to give a self-contained exposition of some geometric aspects of Schubert calculus.
In the paper are proved theorems, which amplify the results of my paper "On the difference equation of Poincare type (Part 3)", Max-Plank-Institut fuer Mathematik, Bonn, Preprint Series, 2004, 09, 1-34.
This short note describes the tentative form of a finite-dimensional optimization problem that may be of use in a second-generation proof of the Kepler conjecture. In the original 1998 proof of the Kepler conjecture, the form of the…
This is the written version of my five lectures at the Banach Center mini-school on "Schubert Varieties", in Warsaw, May 18-22, 2003.
After a historical discussion of classical uniformisation results for Riemann surfaces, of problems appearing in higher dimensions, and of uniformisation results for projective manifolds with trivial or ample canonical bundle, we introduce…
This is a collection of variants of Schanuel's conjecture and the known dependencies between them. It was originally written in 2007, and made available for a time on my webpage. I have been asked by a few people to make it available again…
We prove a numerical characterization of $\mathbb{P}^n$ for varieties with at worst isolated local complete intersection quotient singularities. In dimension three, we prove such a numerical characterization of $\mathbb{P}^3$ for normal…
We present variations on theorems of Mertens as special cases of Density Hypothesis. Moreover, we study a Serre's estimate concerning Lang-Weil estimate.
This article explores solutions to a generalised form of the Seiberg--Witten equations in higher dimensions, first introduced by Fine and the author. Starting with an oriented $n$ dimensional Riemannian manifold with a…
Binet formulae for three versions of third-order Pell polynomials are derived.
In this paper we define a small variation of the Taylor method and a formula for the global error of this new numerical method that allows us to keep track of the round-off error and does not require previous knowledge of the exact…
English translation of John von Neumann's 1927 trilogy on the foundations of quantum mechanics with an introduction and detailed commentary.
The main result of [HL] (Annals of Math. 102 (1975), 223--290) gives a characterization of the boundaries of complex subvarieties in C^n. An application of this result concerning pseudoconvexity, namely Theorem 10.4 in [HL], is amplified.
We provide a method for gluing (small) resolutions of singularities of Schubert varieties \(X_w\). An explicit isomorphism of \(X_w\) with an (iterated) bundle is constructed when \(w\) has an (iterated) BP decomposition. Combined with the…
This paper investigates the Erd\H{o}s distinct subset sums problem in $\mathbb{Z}^k$. Beyond the classical variance method, using alternative statistical quantities like $\mathbb{E}[\|X\|_1]$ and $\mathbb{E}[\|X\|_3^3]$ can yield better…
The present status of the problems in my book "Cardinal Invariants on Boolean algebras" (Birkhauser 1996) is described, with a description of solutions or partial solutions, and references.
We present an English translation of a third 1918 paper by Felix Klein which follows up on his earlier work.
In the article it was shown the convergence of special integral of two dimensional Terry's problem. Main tools of the article are an investigation of real algebraic varieties and estimations of areas of algebraic surfaces.
This article extends the known restricted isometric projection of sparse datasets in Euclidean spaces $\mathbb{R}^N$ down into low-dimensional subspaces $\mathbb{R}^k, k \ll N,$ to the case of low-dimensional varieties $\mathcal{M} \subset…
This is an English translation of Ludwig Bieberbach's paper ``Remarks on Hilbert's Thirteenth Problem" originally written in German and originally published in Journal f\"ur die Reine und Angewandte Mathematik - 165 (89-92) 1931, along with…
