Periodic and quasi-periodic orbits of the $n$-body problem are critical points of the action functional constrained to the Sobolev space of symmetric loops. Variational methods yield collisionless orbits provided the group of symmetries…
Given an n by n matrix A over the complex numbers and an invariant subspace L, this paper gives a straightforward formula to construct an n by n matrix N that commutes with A and has L equal to the kernel of N. For Q a matrix putting A into…
The orbital evolution of more than 22000 Jupiter-crossing objects under the gravitational influence of planets was investigated. We found that the mean collision probabilities of Jupiter-crossing objects (from initial orbits close to the…
We introduce a notion called `maximal commuting piece' for tuples of Hilbert space operators. Given a commuting tuple of operators forming a row contraction there are two commonly used dilations in multivariable operator theory. Firstly…
The set of n by n upper-triangular nilpotent matrices with entries in a finite field F_q has Jordan canonical forms indexed by partitions lambda of n. We present a combinatorial formula for computing the number F_\lambda(q) of matrices of…
The main result of this paper is, that for convex billiards in higher dimensions, in contrast with 2D case, for every point on the boundary and for every $n$ there always exist billiard trajectories developing conjugate points at the $n$-th…
We consider the following problem: given $d \times d$ rational matrices $A_1, \ldots, A_k$ and a polyhedral cone $\mathcal{C} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, decide whether there exists a non-zero vector whose orbit under multiplication by $A_1,…
Most of the known transiting exoplanets are in short-period orbits, largely due to the bias inherent in detecting planets through the transit technique. However, the eccentricity distribution of the known radial velocity planets results in…
Parallel transport around closed circular orbits in the equatorial plane of the Taub-NUT spacetime is analyzed to reveal the effect of the gravitomagnetic monopole parameter on circular holonomy transformations. Investigating the…
In this paper we study higher-order difference equations which can be written as follows: $$ \mathbf{J} (y_0,y_1,...)^T = \lambda^N (y_0,y_1,...)^T, $$ where $\mathbf{J}$ is a $(2N+1)$-diagonal bounded banded matrix…
The left-invariant sub-Riemannian problem on the Engel group is considered. This problem is very important as nilpotent approximation of nonholonomic systems in four-dimensional space with two-dimensional control, for instance of a system…
We review a known method of compounding two magic square matrices of order m and n with the all-ones matrix to form two magic square matrices of order mn. We show that these compounded matrices commute. Simple formulas are derived for their…
We give the number of nilpotent orbits in the Lie algebras of orthogonal groups under the adjoint action of the groups over $\tF_{2^n}$. Let $G$ be an adjoint algebraic group of type $B,C$ or $D$ defined over an algebraically closed field…
We prove some results on the nilpotent orbit theorem for complex variation of Hodge structures.
This paper explores the problem of analytically approximating the orbital state for a subset of orbits in a rotating potential with oblateness and ellipticity perturbations. This is done by isolating approximate differential equations for…
We develop an algorithm for computing the closure of a given nilpotent $G_0$-orbit in $\g_1$, where $\g_1$ and $G_0$ are coming from a $\Z$ or a $\Z/m\Z$-grading $\g= \bigoplus \g_i$ of a simple complex Lie algebra $\g$.

We study central extensions of nilpotent loops by elementary abelian $p$-groups using normalized cocycles. By introducing an affine automorphism group acting on the full cocycle space, we obtain a direct correspondence between affine orbits…
A question going back to Halmos asks when two approximately commuting matrices of a certain kind are close to exactly commuting matrices of the same kind. It has long been known that there is a winding number obstruction for approximately…
A nonzero pattern is a matrix with entries in {0,*}. A pattern is potentially nilpotent if there is some nilpotent real matrix with nonzero entries in precisely the entries indicated by the pattern. We develop ways to construct some…
