We prove that stably isomorphic vector bundles of rank d-1 on a smooth affine d-fold X over an algebraically closed field k are indeed isomorphic, provided d! is invertible in k. This answers an old conjecture of Suslin.
It is shown that Maeda's conjecture on eigenforms of level 1 implies that for every positive even d and every p in a density-one set of primes, the simple group PSL_2(F_{p^d}) occurs as the Galois group of a number field ramifying only at…
For integers $1 < k < d-1$ and $r \ge k+2$, we establish new lower bounds on the maximum number of points in $[n]^d$ such that no $r$ lie in a $k$-dimensional affine (or linear) subspace. These bounds improve on earlier results of…
We consider the problem of reconstructing the features of a weak anisotropic background potential by the trajectories of vortex dipoles in a nonlinear Gross-Pitaevskii equation. At leading order, the dynamics of vortex dipoles are given by…
We present a constructive proof of Alexandrov's theorem regarding the existence of a convex polytope with a given metric on the boundary. The polytope is obtained as a result of a certain deformation in the class of generalized convex…
By utilizing the recently developed hypergraph analogue of Godsil's identity by the second author, we prove that for all $n \geq k \geq 2$, one can reconstruct the matching polynomial of an $n$-vertex $k$-uniform hypergraph from the…
We consider the problem of characterising the generic rigidity of bar-joint frameworks in $\mathbb{R}^d$ in which each vertex is constrained to lie in a given affine subspace. The special case when $d=2$ was previously solved by I. Streinu…
In 1967, Gr\"unmbaum conjectured that any $d$-dimensional polytope with $d+s\leq 2d$ vertices has at least \[\phi_k(d+s,d) = {d+1 \choose k+1 }+{d \choose k+1 }-{d+1-s \choose k+1 } \] $k$-faces. This conjecture along with the…
Let $A$ be a polytope in $\mathbb{R}^d$ (not necessarily convex or connected). We say that $A$ is spectral if the space $L^2(A)$ has an orthogonal basis consisting of exponential functions. A result due to Kolountzakis and Papadimitrakis…
Let $\mathcal{K}$ be a finite pure simplicial $d$-complex, with oriented facets $\{F_i\}$, which is boundaryless in the sense that $\sum\partial F_i=0$. We call such a $\mathcal{K}$ an \textit{admissible $d$-complex}. Given an admissible…
Let $f_r(d,s_1,\ldots,s_r)$ denote the least integer $n$ such that every $n$-point set $P\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d$ admits a partition $P=P_1\cup\cdots\cup P_r$ with the property that for any choice of $s_i$-convex sets $C_i\supseteq P_i$…
Let $Z$ be a nondegenerate hypersurface in $d$-dimensional torus $(\mathbb{C}^*)^d$ defined by a Laurent polynomial $f$ with a $d$-dimensional Newton polytope $P$. The subset $F(P) \subset P$ consisting of all points in $P$ having integral…
We investigate the iterative methods proposed by Maz'ya and Kozlov (see [3], [4]) for solving ill-posed reconstruction problems modeled by PDE's. We consider linear time dependent problems of elliptic, hyperbolic and parabolic types. Each…
In 1989 Kalai stated the three conjectures A, B, C of increasing strength concerning face numbers of centrally symmetric convex polytopes. The weakest conjecture, A, became known as the ``$3^d$-conjecture''. It is well-known that the three…
For a $d$-dimensional hypersurface of class $C^3$ without boundary, we reformulate the surface Stokes equations as a nonsymmetric indefinite elliptic problem governed by two Laplacians. We then use this elliptic reformulation as a basis for…
We resolve a conjecture of Kalai relating approximation theory of convex bodies by simplicial polytopes to the face numbers and primitive Betti numbers of these polytopes and their toric varieties. The proof uses higher notions of…
The problem of calculating exact lower bounds for the number of $k$-faces of $d$-polytopes with $n$ vertices, for each value of $k$, and characterising the minimisers, has recently been solved for $n\le2d$. We establish the corresponding…
We investigate a novel setting for polytope rigidity, where a flex must preserve edge lengths and the planarity of faces, but is allowed to change the shapes of faces. For instance, the regular cube is flexible in this notion. We present…
We give a constructive proof of the Hodge conjecture for complex $K3$ surfaces that does not rely on Torelli-type results. Starting with an arbitrary rational $(1,1)$-class $\alpha\in H^{1,1}(X,\mathbb{Q})$, we algorithmically build a…
We study representations of groups by "affine" automorphisms of compact, convex spaces, with special focus on "irreducible" representations: equivalently "minimal" actions. When the group in question is PSL(2,R), we exhibit a one-one…
