We introduce and study a generalized concept of boundedness of a subset of a normed vector space with respect to a cone, which is defined as lower boundedness of the images of the underlying set through all the positive functionals of the…

We consider positive solutions, possibly unbounded, to the semilinear equation $-\Delta u=f(u)$ on continuous epigraphs bounded from below. Under the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition, we prove new monotonicity results for $u$, when…

Let $X$ be an abelian variety defined over an algebraically closed field $k$. We consider theta groups associated to \emph{simple semi-homogenous vector bundles of separable type} on $X$. We determine the structure and representation theory…

Recently, much progress has been made to construct minimal linear codes due to their preference in secret sharing schemes and secure two-party computation. In this paper, we put forward a new method to construct minimal linear codes by…

Riemann surface carries a natural line bundle, the determinant bundle. The space of sections of this line bundle (or its multiples) constitutes a natural non-abelian generalization of the spaces of theta functions on the Jacobian. There has…

In this paper we generalize the well-known notions of affine arclength and affine hypersurface measure to submanifolds of any dimension $d$ in $\mathbb R^n$ , $1 \leq d \leq n-1$. We show that a canonical affine invariant measure exists and…

In 2007, Carlet and Ding introduced two parameters, denoted by $Nb_F$ and $NB_F$, quantifying respectively the balancedness of general functions $F$ between finite Abelian groups and the (global) balancedness of their derivatives $D_a…

Semilinear maps are a generalization of linear maps between vector spaces where we allow the scalar action to be twisted by a ring homomorphism such as complex conjugation. In particular, this generalization unifies the concepts of linear…

A Boolean function $f$ on $n$ variables is said to be a bent function if the absolute value of all its Walsh coefficients is $2^{n/2}$. Our main result is a new asymptotic lower bound on the number of Boolean bent functions. It is based on…

We introduce a method based on Bezout's theorem on intersection points of two projective plane curves, for determining the nonlinearity of some classes of quadratic functions on $\mathbb{F}_{2^{2m}}$. Among those are the functions of…

In this article, we define and explore the weak normalization of an affine semigroup. In particular, for a fixed prime integer, we provide a geometric description of the weak normalization of an affine semigroup with respect to that prime,…

Lower estimates are obtained for the macroscopic scale of affine approximability of vector-valued Lipschitz functions on finite dimensional normed spaces, completing the work of Bates, Johnson, Lindenstrass, Preiss and Schechtman. This…

In this paper, we consider bounded width circuits and nondeterministic circuits in three somewhat new directions. In the first part of this paper, we mainly consider bounded width circuits. The main purpose of this part is to prove that…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over the function field $K$ of a curve over a finite field. We describe several mild geometric conditions ensuring that the group $A(K^{\rm perf})$ is finitely generated and that the $p$-primary torsion…

Given an ample line bundle $L$ over a projective $\mathbb{K}$-variety $X$, with $\mathbb{K}$ a non-Archimedean field, we study limits of non-Archimedean metrics on $L$ associated to submultiplicative sequences of norms on the graded pieces…

In this article we introduce a solution method for a special class of nonlinear initial-value problems using set-based propagation techniques. The novelty of the approach is that we employ a particular embedding (Carleman linearization) to…

To a symmetric, relatively ample line bundle on an abelian scheme one can associate a linear combination of the determinant bundle and the relative canonical bundle, which is a torsion element in the Picard group of the base. We improve the…

Tusn\'ady's problem asks to bound the discrepancy of points and axis-parallel boxes in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Algorithmic bounds on Tusn\'ady's problem use a canonical decomposition of Matou\v{s}ek for the system of points and axis-parallel boxes,…
