In 1910, \'{E}lie Cartan famously realized the split real form of the exceptional Lie group $G_2$ as the symmetry group of the maximally symmetric rank 2 distribution on a 5-dimensional manifold with the small growth vector (2,3,5). In this…

Maximum likelihood estimation is a fundamental optimization problem in statistics. We study this problem on manifolds of matrices with bounded rank. These represent mixtures of distributions of two independent discrete random variables. We…

By developing the Tanaka theory for rank 2 distributions, we completely classify classical Monge equations having maximal finite-dimensional symmetry algebras with fixed (albeit arbitrary) pair of its orders. Investigation of the…

The $k$-expansion of a graph $G$ is the $k$-uniform hypergraph obtained from $G$ by adding $k-2$ new vertices to every edge. We determine, for all $k > d \geq 1$, asymptotically optimal $d$-degree conditions that ensure the existence of all…

We construct canonical frames and find all maximally symmetric models for a natural generic class of corank 2 distributions on manifolds of odd dimension greater or equal to 7. This class of distributions is characterized by the following…

The multiplex network growth literature has been confined to homogeneous growth hitherto, where the number of links that each new incoming node establishes is the same across layers. This paper focuses on heterogeneous growth. We first…

We study growth of absolute and homological $k$-dimensional systoles of arithmetic $n$-manifolds along congruence coverings. Our main interest is in the growth of systoles of manifolds whose real rank $r > 1$. We observe, in particular,…

In 1964, Golod and Shafarevich found that, provided that the number of relations of each degree satisfy some bounds, there exist infinitely dimensional algebras satisfying the relations. These algebras are called Golod-Shafarevich algebras.…

Let D be a rank 2 bracket generating distribution on a 4 manifold, D is Engel if its growth vector is maximal. When this maximality fails the distribution is degenerate. We prove Sard's conjecture for the endpoint map in the case of…

The solutions to the Dirichlet problem for two degenerate elliptic fully nonlinear equations in $n+1$ dimensions, namely the real Monge-Amp\`ere equation and the Donaldson equation, are shown to have maximum rank in the space variables when…

In this paper, we derive a new form of maximum principle for smooth functions on a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold $M$ for which there exists a bounded vector field $X$ such that $\langle\nabla f,X\rangle\geq 0$ on $M$ and…

We study existence of maximizer for the Trudinger-Moser inequality with general nonlinearity of the critical growth on $R^2$, as well as on the disk. We derive a very sharp threshold nonlinearity between the existence and the non-existence…

In this paper we investigate partial spreads of $H(2n-1,q^2)$ through the related notion of partial spread sets of hermitian matrices, and the more general notion of constant rank-distance sets. We prove a tight upper bound on the maximum…

A variant of the Erd\H{o}s-S\'os conjecture, posed by Havet, Reed, Stein and Wood, states that every graph with minimum degree at least $\lfloor 2k/3 \rfloor$ and maximum degree at least $k$ contains a copy of every tree with $k$ edges.…

We study the growth of the rank of elliptic curves and, more generally, Abelian varieties upon extensions of number fields. First, we show that if $L/K$ is a finite Galois extension of number fields such that $\Gal(L/K)$ does not have an…

We consider distributions of ordered random vectors with given one-dimensional marginal distributions. We give an elementary necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of such a distribution with finite entropy. In this case, we…

We revisit the problem of the existence of the maximum likelihood estimate for multi-class logistic regression. We show that one method of ensuring its existence is by assigning positive probability to every class in the sample dataset. The…
