We prove an elementary formula about the average expansion of certain products of 2 by 2 matrices. This permits us to quickly re-obtain an inequality by M. Herman and a theorem by Dedieu and Shub, both concerning Lyapunov exponents. Indeed,…

We present a new method for obtaining norm bounds for random matrices, where each entry is a low-degree polynomial in an underlying set of independent real-valued random variables. Such matrices arise in a variety of settings in the…

This paper considers random (non-Hermitian) circulant matrices, and proves several results analogous to recent theorems on non-Hermitian random matrices with independent entries. In particular, the limiting spectral distribution of a random…

This note contains a short proof of a classical result: any rational symplectic matrix can be put in diagonal form after right and left multiplication by integral symplectic matrices.

First, we prove a \emph{local almost sure central limit theorem} for lattice random walks in the plane. The corresponding version for random walks in the line was considered by the author in \cite{5}. This gives us a quantitative version of…

The boundary of a numerical range of a finite matrix is always a nice curve (algebraic, closed and simple), but the equation it satisfies is often very complicated. We will show that, furthermore, there is no hope of describing these curves…

For $n \in \mathbb{N}$, let $h(n)$ denote the number of simplicial complexes on $n$ vertices up to homotopy equivalence. Here we prove that $h(n) \geq 2^{2^{0.02n}}$ when $n$ is large enough. Together with the trivial upper bound of…

We present experimental evidence to support the widely held belief that one half of all elliptic curves have infinitely many rational points. The method used to gather this evidence is a refinement of an algorithm due to the author which is…

The theory of products of random matrices and Lyapunov exponents have been widely studied and applied in the fields of biology, dynamical systems, economics, engineering and statistical physics. We consider the product of an i.i.d. sequence…

We prove regularity estimates for weak solutions to the Dirichlet problem for a divergence form elliptic operator. We give $L^p$ estimates for the second derivative for $p<2$. Our work generalizes results due to Miranda [28].

Experiments suggest that typical finite sets of square matrices admit spectrum maximizing products (SMPs): that is, products that attain the joint spectral radius (JSR). Furthermore, those SMPs are often combinatorially "simple." In this…

Using an elementary argument, we prove new fixed point theorems for classical elliptic complexes. We obtain new results for conformal relations and coisotropic intersections. We obtain theorems for the average intersections of families of…

Given a subgroup $\Gamma$ of rational points on an elliptic curve $E$ defined over ${\mathbf Q}$ of rank $r \ge 1$ and any sufficiently large $x \ge 2$, assuming that the rank of $\Gamma$ is less than $r$, we give upper and lower bounds on…

We provide a generalization of an algebraic linear combination for the trace of certain elliptic modular forms, and through specializing the expression at a suitable pair consisting of an elliptic curve over algebraic number fields and its…

We present a proof of a multidimensional version of Peres-Schlag's theorem on Diophantine approximations with lacunary sequences.

We prove a uniformization theorem in complex algebraic geometry.

We identify subsets of the joint numerical range of an operator tuple in terms of its joint spectrum. This result helps us to transfer weak convergence of operator orbits into certain approximation and interpolation properties for powers in…

We introduce and motivate a conjecture about the existence of complete, 1-dimensional families of covers of an elliptic curve. If the conjecture holds, then it would imply a uniform lower bound of 5 for slope of the moduli space of curves.…

For a complex nilpotent finite dimensional Lie algebra of matrices,and a Jordan-H\"older basis of it, we prove a spectral radius formula which extends a well-known result for commuting matrices.

We give a new characterisation of elliptic curves of Shimura type in terms commuting families of Frobenius lifts and also strengthen an old principal ideal theorem for ray class fields. These two results combined yield the existence of…
