We prove that integer programming with three quantifier alternations is $NP$-complete, even for a fixed number of variables. This complements earlier results by Lenstra and Kannan, which together say that integer programming with at most…
For a finite point set $P \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, denote by $\text{diam}(P)$ the ratio of the largest to the smallest distances between pairs of points in $P$. Let $c_{d, \alpha}(n)$ be the largest integer $c$ such that any $n$-point set $P…
We present a self-contained proof of a strong version of van der Waerden's Theorem. By using translation invariant filters that are maximal with respect to inclusion, a simple inductive argument shows the existence of "piecewise…
A classical theorem of Siegel asserts that the set of S-integral points of an algebraic curve C over a number field is finite unless C has genus 0 and at most two points at infinity. In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions…
Wigner's celebrated theorem, which is particularly important in the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics, states that every bijective transformation on the set of all rank-one projections of a complex Hilbert space which preserves…
Let $PW_S^1$ be the space of integrable functions on $\mathbb{R}$ whose Fourier transform vanishes outside $S$, where $S = [-\sigma,-\rho]\cup[\rho,\sigma]$, $0<\rho<\sigma$. In the case $\rho>\sigma/2$, we present a complete description of…
For a prime $p$, we show that uniqueness of factorization into irreducible $\Sigma_{p^2}$-invariant representations of $\mathbb{Z}/p \wr \mathbb{Z}/p$ holds if and only if $p=2$. We also show nonuniqueness of factorization for…
An orthogonal involution $\sigma$ on a central simple algebra $A$, after scalar extension to the function field $\mathcal{F}(A)$ of the Severi--Brauer variety of $A$, is adjoint to a quadratic form $q_\sigma$ over $\mathcal{F}(A)$, which is…
We show that any semi-direct sum $L$ of Lie algebras with Levi factor $S$ must be perfect if the representation associated with it does not possess a copy of the trivial representation. As a consequence, all invariant functions of $L$ must…
The authors have presented in \cite{IN2} a technique to generate transformations $\cal T$ of the set ${\Bbb P}_n$ of $n$th degree polynomials to itself such that if $p\in{\Bbb P}_n$ has all its zeros in $(c,d)$ then ${\cal T}\{p\}$ has all…
In this paper we present a new semilocal convergence theorem from data at one point for the Weierstrass iterative method for the simultaneous computation of polynomial zeros. The main result generalizes and improves all previous ones in…
We prove that integral points can be effectively determined on all but finitely many modular curves, and on all but one modular curve of prime power level.
In a previous paper, we showed how to use the Ehrhart function $L_P(s)$, defined by $L_P(s) = \#(sP \cap \mathbb Z^d)$, to reconstruct a polytope $P$. More specifically, we showed that, for rational polytopes $P$ and $Q$, if $L_{P + w}(s) =…
We provide a basis transformation that inverts the coordinate Bethe Ansatz. It is widely believed that the Bethe Ansatz is complete, based on numerical evidence and combinatorial arguments. We present a constructive and comprehensive…

Let $\Gamma$ be a plane curve of degree $d$ with $\delta$ ordinary nodes and no other singularities. If $P$ is a smooth point on $\Gamma$ then the Weierstrass gap sequence at $P$ is considered as that at the corresponding point on the…
In this work, we derive a discrete analog of the Wigner transform over the space $(\mathbb{C}^p)^{\otimes N}$ for any prime $p$ and any positive integer $N$. We show that the Wigner transform over this space can be constructed as the…
The Riesz transform of $u$ : $\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^n) \rightarrow \mathcal{S'}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ is defined as a convolution by a singular kernel, and can be conveniently expressed using the Fourier Transform and a simple multiplier. We…
The multiplicity of an algebraic curve $C$ in the complex plane at a point $p$ on that curve is defined as the number of points that occur at the intersection of $C$ with a general complex line that passes close to the point $p$. It is…
