For a closed Riemannian manifold $M$ with a compact Lie group $G$ acting by isometries, we show that there are infinitely many $G$-invariant minimal hypersurfaces. Under the assumption that $M$ contains at most a finite number of minimal…

Let $G$ be an affine algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic zero. In this paper, we consider finite $G$-equivariant morphisms $F:X\to Y$ of irreducible affine $G$-varieties. First we determine under which…

We investigate torsion elements in the kernel of the map on divisor class groups of excellent local normal domains A and A/I, for an ideal I of finite projective dimension. The motivation for this work is a result of Griffith-Weston which…

We study various combinatorial properties, and the implications between them, for filters generated by infinite-dimensional subspaces of a countable vector space. These properties are analogous to selectivity for ultrafilters on the natural…

For a coarse space $(X, \mathcal{E})$, $X^\sharp$ denotes the set of all unbounded ultrafilters on $X$ endowed with the parallelity relation: $p||q$ if there exists $E \in \mathcal{E} $ such that $ E[P]\in q $ for each $P\in p$. If $(X,…

We introduce the notion of a $\mathbb{G}$-operator space $(X, \alpha)$, which consists of an action $\alpha: X \curvearrowleft \mathbb{G}$ of a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ on an operator space $X$, and we make a study of the…

Let G = S^d, d = 0, 1 or 3, act freely on a finitistic connected space X. This paper gives the cohomology classification of X if a mod 2 or rational cohomology of the orbit space X/G is isomorphic to the product of a projective space and…

A map between connected $2$-manifolds has a geometric kernel if it sends a non-contractible simple loop to a null-homotopic loop. While every non-$\pi_1$-injective map between compact surfaces admits a geometric kernel, this generally fails…

Invariance (defined in a general sense) has been one of the most effective priors for representation learning. Direct factorization of parametric models is feasible only for a small range of invariances, while regularization approaches,…

We construct a class of positive linear maps on matrix algebras. We find conditions when these maps are atomic, decomposable and completely positive. We obtain a large class of atomic positive linear maps. As applications in quantum…

We give a new proof of the result that if f and g are transcendental entire functions, then the composite function f(g) has infinitely many fixed points. The method yields a number of generalization of this result. In particular, it extends…

We show that for any metric space $M$ satisfying certain natural conditions, there is a finitely generated group $G$, an ultrafilter $\omega $, and an isometric embedding $\iota $ of $M$ to the asymptotic cone ${\rm Cone}_\omega (G)$ such…

We study multivariate normal models that are described by linear constraints on the inverse of the covariance matrix. Maximum likelihood estimation for such models leads to the problem of maximizing the determinant function over a…

Generalized derivatives and infinitesimal spaces generalize the idea of derivatives to mappings which need not be differentiable. It is particularly powerful in the context of quasiregular mappings, where normal family arguments imply…

In this note, we discuss some fixed point theorems for contractive self mappings defined on a $G$-metric spaces. More precisely, we give fised point theorems for mappings with a contractive iterate at a point.

We study the maximal rank in affine subspaces of symmetric or alternating matrices, in terms of the matching numbers of certain associated graphs. Applications include simple proofs of upper bounds on the dimension of such subspaces in…

Let $K$ be a function field of a curve in characteristic zero or a number field over which the $abc$-conjecture holds, fix $\alpha\in K$, and let $f_{d,c}(x)=x^d+c$ for some $d\geq2$ and some $c\in K$. Then for many $c$ and $d$, we prove…

Positive semidefinite Hermitian matrices that are not fully specified can be completed provided their underlying graph is chordal. If the matrix is positive definite the completion can be uniquely characterized as the matrix that maximizes…

We present a systematic development of inductive limits in the categories of ordered *-vector spaces, Archimedean order unit spaces, matrix ordered spaces, operator systems and operator C*-systems. We show that the inductive limit…

In this paper we are discussing various aspects of wavelet filters. While there are earlier studies of these filters as matrix valued functions in wavelets, in signal processing, and in systems, we here expand the framework. Motivated by…
