Consider the algebraic function $\Phi_{g,n}$ that assigns to a general $g$-dimensional abelian variety an $n$-torsion point. A question first posed by Kronecker and Klein asks: What is the minimal $d$ such that, after a rational change of…

The compression of a matrix $A\in\mathbb C^{n\times n}$ onto a subspace $V\subset\mathbb C^n$ is the matrix $Q^*AQ$ where the columns of $Q$ form an orthonormal basis for $V$. This is an important object in both operator theory and…

We prove that, for any Hausdorff continuum X, if dim X > 1 then the hyperspace C(X) of subcontinua of X is not a C-space; if dim X = 1 and X is hereditarily indecomposable then dim C(X) = 2 or C(X) is not a C-space. This generalizes results…

Let $R$ be an o-minimal expansion of the real field. We show that the Hausdorff dimension of an $R$-definable metric space is an $R$-definable function of the parameters defining the metric space. We also show that the Hausdorff dimension…

We prove that the maximal dimension of a subspace $V$ of the generic tensor product of $m$ symbol algebras of prime degree $p$ with $\operatorname{Tr}(v^{p-1})=0$ for all $v\in V$ is $\frac{p^{2m}-1}{p-1}$. The same upper bound is thus…

We obtain minimal dimension matrix representations for each indecomposable five-dimensional Lie algebra over $\R$ and justify in each case that they are minimal. In each case a matrix Lie group is given whose matrix Lie algebra provides the…

We extend some of the results of Agler, Knese, and McCarthy [1] to $n$-tuples of commuting isometries for $n>2$. Let $\mathbb{V}=(V_1,\dots,V_n)$ be an $n$-tuple of a commuting isometries on a Hilbert space and let Ann$(\mathbb{V})$ denote…

The lattice dimension of a graph G is the minimal dimension of a cubic lattice in which G can be isometrically embedded. We prove that the lattice dimension of a tree with n leaves is $\lceil n/2 \rceil$.

For a given measure space $(X,{\mathscr B},\mu)$ we construct all measure spaces $(Y,{\mathscr C},\lambda)$ in which $(X,{\mathscr B},\mu)$ is embeddable. The construction is modeled on the ultrafilter construction of the Stone--\v{C}ech…
