It has been conjectured by W. Chen that the distribution of the length of the longest increasing subsequence in a uniformly random permutation is log-concave. We propose a stronger version of this conjecture which involves the Kronecker…

In 1918, Hardy and Ramanujan made a breakthrough by developing the circle method to deduce an asymptotic formula for the partition function $p(n)$, which was later refined by Rademacher in 1937 to produce an absolutely convergent series…

After Zagier proved that the traces of singular moduli $j(z)$ are Fourier coefficients of a weakly holomorphic modular form, various properties of the traces of the singular values of modular functions mostly on the full modular group…

A classical result of Kahn and Saks states that given any partially ordered set with two distinguished elements, the number of linear extensions in which the ranks of the distinguished elements differ by $k$ is log-concave as a function of…

We disprove a recent conjecture regarding discrete distributions and their generating polynomials stating that strong log-concavity implies log-submodularity.

We find a natural $L_{\omega_1,\omega}$-axiomatisation $\Sigma$ of a structure on the upper half-plane $\mathbb{H}$ as the covering space of modular curves. The main theorem states that $\Sigma$ has a unique model in every uncountable…

A triangle $\{a(n,k)\}_{0\le k\le n}$ of nonnegative numbers is LC-positive if for each $r$, the sequence of polynomials $\sum_{k=r}^{n}a(n,k)q^k$ is $q$-log-concave. It is double LC-positive if both triangles $\{a(n,k)\}$ and…

In this work, we prove that many Ap\'ery-like sequences arising from modular forms satisfy the Lucas congruences modulo any prime. As an implication, we completely affirm four conjectural Lucas congruences that were recently posed by S.…

We relate analytically defined deformations of modular curves and modular forms from the literature to motivic periods via cohomological descriptions of deformation theory. Leveraging cohomological vanishing results, we prove the existence…

We address two linked problems at the interface of quantum topology and number theory: deriving asymptotic expansions of the Witten--Reshetikhin--Turaev invariants for 3-manifolds and establishing quantum modularity of false theta…

Let $M$ be a $G$-manifold and $\om$ a $G$-invariant exact $m$-form on $M$. We indicate when these data allow us to constract a cocycle on a group $G$ with values in the trivial $G$-module $\mathbb R$ and when this cocycle is nontrivial.

Okounkov [Oko03] conjectured the log-concavity about the structure constants for many interesting basis from representation theory. For the cluster algebra, Gross, Hacking, Keel, Kontsevich [GHKK18] introduced the atomic theta basis. We…

In this paper, the functional Quermassintegrals of log-concave functions in $\mathbb R^n$ are discussed, we obtain the integral expression of the $i$-th functional mixed Quermassintegrals, which are similar to the integral expression of the…

We provide a functional Rogers-Shephard type inequality for log-concave functions on $\mathbb R^n$ and any $1$-reducible $s$-cover of $[n]$. As a consequence, we derive a sharp local Liakopoulos-Meyer type inequality for $n$-dimensional…

We enumerate smooth rational curves on very general Weierstrass fibrations over hypersurfaces in projective space. The generating functions for these numbers lie in the ring of classical modular forms. The method of proof uses topological…

We give an explanation of the $\mathrm{d}\log$-form of the coefficient matrix of canonical differential equations using the projection of ($n$+1)-$\mathrm{d}\log$ forms onto $n$-$\mathrm{d}\log$ forms. This projection is done using the…

Let $(M,\omega)$ be a closed $2n$-dimensional symplectic manifold equipped with a Hamiltonian $T^{n-1}$-action. Then Atiyah-Guillemin-Sternberg convexity theorem implies that the image of the moment map is an $(n-1)$-dimensional convex…

We propose a formulation of the Equivariant Tamagawa Number Conjecture for modular motives with coefficients in universal deformation rings and Hecke algebras; something which seems to have been heretofore missing because the complexes of…

Let $P(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $m$, with nonnegative and non-decreasing coefficients. We settle the conjecture that for any positive real number $d$, the coefficients of $P(x+d)$ form a unimodal sequence, of which the special case $d$…

Simon's congruence, denoted \sim_n, relates words having the same subwords of length up to n. We show that, over a k-letter alphabet, the number of words modulo \sim_n is in 2^{\Theta(n^{k-1} log n)}.
