A basic combinatorial invariant of a convex polytope $P$ is its $f$-vector $f(P)=(f_0,f_1,\dots,f_{\dim P-1})$, where $f_i$ is the number of $i$-dimensional faces of $P$. Steinitz characterized all possible $f$-vectors of $3$-polytopes and…

Let $N,d > 1$ be fixed integers, let $(T_1, ..., T_N)$ be random d-by-d matrices with nonnegative entries and $Q$ a random d-vector with nonnegative entries. This induces a mapping (the multivariate smoothing transform) on probability laws…

We prove two results about Wigner distributions. Firstly, that the Wigner transform is the only sesquilinear map ${\mathcal S}(\mathbb{R}^n) \times {\mathcal S}(\mathbb{R}^n) \to {\mathcal S}(\mathbb{R}^{2n})$ which is bounded and covariant…

We prove that the principal pivot transform (also known as the partial inverse, sweep operator, or exchange operator in various contexts) maps matrices with positive imaginary part to matrices with positive imaginary part. We show that the…

Let $G$ be one of the lamplighter groups $({\mathbb{Z}/p\bz})^n\wr\mathbb{Z}$ and $\Sub(G)$ the space of all subgroups of $G$. We determine the perfect kernel and Cantor-Bendixson rank of $\Sub(G)$. The space of all conjugation-invariant…

For an imaginary quadratic field $k$ of class number $>1$, we prove that there are only finitely many isomorphism classes of rational indefinite quaternion division algebras $B$ such that the associated Shimura curve $M^B$ has $k$-rational…

Let $\mathcal{P} \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ be an integral convex polytope of dimension $d$ and write $k \mathcal{P}$, where $k = 1, 2, \ldots$, for dilations of $\mathcal{P}$. We say that $\mathcal{P}$ possesses the integer decomposition…

We investigate certain classes of normal completely positive (CP) maps on the hyperfinite $II_1$ factor $\mathcal A$. Using the representation theory of a suitable irrational rotation algebra, we propose some computable invariants for such…

In this work, we construct an explicit, theoretically rigorous deconvolution method that relies entirely on iterative forward convolutions, thus can be numerically implemented. We first prove that convolution with an even Schwartz kernel…

The Fourier transform of the indicator function of arbitrary polygons and polyhedra is computed for complex wavevectors. Using the divergence theorem and Stokes' theorem, closed expressions are obtained. Apparent singularities, all…

In this paper, we study the norm-controlled inversion problem in two classes of algebras of integrable functions. In contrast of the classical case of $L^{1}(G)$, we prove that this problem has a positive solution in our setting without any…

These are notes of a talk based on the work arXiv:1212.3630 joint with A. Aizenbud. Let V be a finite-dimensional vector space over a local field F of characteristic 0. Let f be a function on V of the form $f(x)= \psi (P(x))$, where P is a…

We provide an algorithm for computing the number of integral points lying in certain triangles that do not have integral vertices. We use techniques from Algebraic Geometry such as the Riemann-Roch formula for weighted projective planes and…

Pick's astonishing theorem explains how to obtain the area of any integer polygon by counting lattice points. It is a notoriously difficult challenge to translate the geometric statement and intuitive reasoning into a formal statement and…

Linear optics (LO) prohibits certain transformations. In this paper, we study the conditions for a computation to be possible in LO. We find that there are finitely many polynomials such that each of these polynomials evaluates to the same…

For a ring R, denote by Spec^R_kappa(Gamma) the kappa-spectrum of the Gamma-invariant of strongly uniform right R-modules. Recent realization techniques of Goodearl and Wehrung show that Spec^R_{aleph_1}(Gamma) is full for suitable von…

In this article, we describe an efficient method for computing Teitelbaum's $p$-adic $\mathcal{L}$-invariant. These invariants are realized as the eigenvalues of the $\mathcal{L}$-operator acting on a space of harmonic cocycles on the…

The non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function and the prime numbers can be plotted by a modified von Mangoldt function. The series of non-trivial zeta zeros and prime numbers can be given explicitly by superposition of harmonic waves.…

We analyze when integral points on the complement of a finite union of curves in $\mathbb{P}^2$ are potentially dense. We divide the analysis of these affine surfaces based on their logarithmic Kodaira dimension $\bar{\kappa}$. When…

For polynomials in independent Wigner matrices, we prove convergence of the largest singular value to the operator norm of the corresponding polynomial in free semicircular variables, under fourth moment hypotheses. We actually prove a more…
