Let $P$ be a set $n$ points in a $d$-dimensional space. Tverberg's theorem says that, if $n$ is at least $(k-1)(d+1)+1$, then $P$ can be partitioned into $k$ sets whose convex hulls intersect. Partitions with this property are called {\em…

Vasiu proved that the level torsion $\ell_{\mathcal{M}}$ of an $F$-crystal $\mathcal{M}$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ is a non-negative integer that is an effectively computable upper bound of the isomorphism…

On a M\"obius surface, as defined by D. Calderbank, we study a variant of the Einstein-Weyl (EW) equation which we call scalar-flat M\"obius EW (sf-MEW). This is a conformally invariant, finite type, overdetermined system of semi-linear…

Let $S$ be a finite set of primes. The $S$-part $[m]_S$ of a non-zero integer $m$ is the largest positive divisor of $m$ that is composed of primes from $S$. In 2013, Gross and Vincent proved that if $f(X)$ is a polynomial with integer…

Let $P$ be a finitely generated commutative semiring. It was shown recently that if $P$ is a parasemifield (i.e. the multiplicative reduct of $P$ is a group) then $P$ cannot contain the positive rationals $\mathbb{Q}^+$ as its subsemiring.…

We study the global topological structure and smoothness of the boundaries of $\varepsilon$-neighbourhoods $E_\varepsilon = \{x \in \mathbb{R}^2 \, : \, \textrm{dist}(x, E) \leq \varepsilon \}$ of planar sets $E \subset \mathbb{R}^2$. We…

Let $M$ be a finitely generated module over a Noetherian ring $R$ and $N$ a submodule. The index of reducibility ir$_M(N)$ is the number of irreducible submodules that appear in an irredundant irreducible decomposition of $N$ (this number…

Given a factorable function f, we propose a procedure that constructs a concave underestimator of f that is tight at a given point. These underestimators can be used to generate intersection cuts. A peculiarity of these underestimators is…

We describe here a framework for a certain class of multiscale likelihood factorizations wherein, in analogy to a wavelet decomposition of an L^2 function, a given likelihood function has an alternative representation as a product of…

Motivated by a desire to understand the distribution of roots of cubic congruences, we re-derive a parametrization of roots $\nu \pmod m$ of $X^3 \equiv 2 \pmod m$ found by Hooley. Although this parametrization does not lead us here to…

Let $\varepsilon\in(0,1)$ and $X\subset\mathbb R^d$ be arbitrary with $|X|$ having size $n>1$. The Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma states there exists $f:X\rightarrow\mathbb R^m$ with $m = O(\varepsilon^{-2}\log n)$ such that $$ \forall x\in X\…

It is a consequence of the Jacobi Inversion Theorem that a line bundle over a Riemann surface M of genus g has a meromorphic section having at most g poles, or equivalently, the divisor class of a divisor D over M contains a divisor having…

We provide formulae for the $\varepsilon$-subdifferential of the integral function $ I_f(x):=\int_T f(t,x) d\mu(t), $ where the integrand $f:T\times X \to [-\infty,+\infty]$ is measurable in $(t,x)$ and convex in $x$. The state variable…

In this note we show the characteristic function of every indecomposable set $F$ in the plane is $BV$ equivalent to the characteristic function a closed set $\mathbb{F}$, i.e.…

Suppose $M$ is a countable ab-initio (uncollapsed) generic structure which is obtained from a pre-dimension function with rational coefficients. We show that if $H$ is a subgroup of $\mbox{Aut}\left(M\right)$ with…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a class of measurable functions $f:S\mapsto [0,1]$ defined on a probability space $(S,\mathcal{A},P)$. Given a sample (X_1,...,X_n) of i.i.d. random variables taking values in S with common distribution P, let P_n…

Let $X=\mathcal{M}(A)$ be an affinoid space and let $f,g \in A$. We study the sets of connected components of the spaces defined by an inequality of the form $|f|\le r|g|$, with $r\ge 0$. We prove that there exists a finite partition of…

Supersymmetric partition function of $\mathcal N=1$ superconformal theories on $S^1_{\beta} \times S^3$ is related to the superconformal index receiving contributions from short representations. The leading coefficients in the small $\beta$…

For a $t$-nomial $f(x) = \sum_{i = 1}^t c_i x^{a_i} \in \mathbb{F}_q[x]$, we show that the number of distinct, nonzero roots of $f$ is bounded above by $2 (q-1)^{1-\varepsilon} C^\varepsilon$, where $\varepsilon = 1/(t-1)$ and $C$ is the…

Upper bounds for the probabilities $\mathbb{P}(F\geq \mathbb{E} F + r)$ and $\mathbb{P}(F\leq \mathbb{E} F - r)$ are proved, where $F$ is a certain component count associated with a random geometric graph built over a Poisson point process…
