We study the space complexity of sketching cuts and Laplacian quadratic forms of graphs. We show that any data structure which approximately stores the sizes of all cuts in an undirected graph on $n$ vertices up to a $1+\epsilon$ error must…

The page number of a directed acyclic graph $G$ is the minimum $k$ for which there is a topological ordering of $G$ and a $k$-coloring of the edges such that no two edges of the same color cross, i.e., have alternating endpoints along the…

Let $A$ be an $n\times n$ matrix with mutually independent centered Gaussian entries. Define \begin{align*} \sigma^*:=\max\limits_{i,j\leq n}\sqrt{{\mathbb E}\,|A_{i,j}|^2}, \quad \sigma:=\max\bigg(\max\limits_{j\leq n}\sqrt{{\mathbb…

We obtain upper bounds on the number of finite sets $\mathcal S$ of primes below a given bound for which various $2$ variable $\mathcal S$-unit equations have a solution.

For a fixed finite solvable group $G$ and number field $K$, we prove an upper bound for the number of $G$-extensions $L/K$ with restricted local behavior (at infinitely many places) and ${\rm inv}(L/K)<X$ for a general invariant $"{\rm…

We revisit the main result of Carmosino et al \cite{CILM18} which shows that an $\Omega(n^{\omega/2+\epsilon})$ size noncommutative arithmetic circuit size lower bound (where $\omega$ is the matrix multiplication exponent) for a…

In an additive group (G,+), a three-dimensional corner is the four points g, g+d(1,0,0), g+d(0,1,0), g+d(0,0,1), where g is in G^3, and d is a non-zero element of G. The Ramsey number of interest is R_3(G) the maximal cardinality of a…

Let $(\Omega,g)$ be a piecewise-smooth, bounded convex domain in $\R^2$ and consider $L^2$-normalized Neumann eigenfunctions $\phi_{\lambda}$ with eigenvalue $\lambda^2$ and $u_{\lambda}:= \phi_{\lambda} |_{\partial \Omega}$ the associated…

Let $G$ be the alternating group of degree $n$. Let $\omega(G)$ be the maximal size of a subset $S$ of $G$ such that $\langle x,y \rangle = G$ whenever $x,y \in S$ and $x \neq y$ and let $\sigma(G)$ be the minimal size of a family of proper…

Let $B$ be a compact Riemann surface and $B_0\subset B$ a bordered hyperbolic subsurface obtained by removing finitely many disjoint closed disks. Fix a nontrivial loop $\alpha$ in $B_0$. For $s\ge 0$, let $L(\alpha,s)$ denote the supremum,…

The sum-product conjecture of Erd\H os and Szemer\'edi states that, given a finite set $A$ of positive numbers, one can find asymptotic lower bounds for $\max\{|A+A|,|A\cdot A|\}$ of the order of $|A|^{1+\delta}$ for every $\delta <1$. In…

We pose a natural generalization to the well-studied and difficult no-three-in-a-line problem: How many points can be chosen on an $n \times n$ grid such that no three of them form an angle of $\theta$? In this paper, we classify which…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$ be a bounded domain of class $C^{2+\alpha}$, $0<\alpha<1$. We show that if $n\geq 3$ and $u_\Omega$ is the maximal solution of equation $\Delta u = n(n-2)u^{(n+2)/(n-2)}$ in $\Omega$, then the hyperbolic…

We prove that in every metric space where no line contains all the points, there are at least $\Omega(n^{2/3})$ lines. This improves the previous $\Omega(\sqrt{n})$ lower bound on the number of lines in general metric space, and also…

We prove the first nontrivial worst-case lower bounds for two closely related problems. First, $\Omega(n^{3/2})$ degree-1 reductions, series-parallel reductions, and $\Delta$Y transformations are required in the worst case to reduce an…

This paper studies a problem of Erd\"{o}s concerning lattice cubes. Given an $N \times N \times N$ lattice cube, we want to find the maximum number of vertices one can select so that no eight corners of a rectangular box are chosen…

By definition, a rigid graph in $\mathbb{R}^d$ (or on a sphere) has a finite number of embeddings up to rigid motions for a given set of edge length constraints. These embeddings are related to the real solutions of an algebraic system.…

Levels and sublevels in arrangements -- and, dually, $k$-sets and $(\leq k)$-sets -- are fundamental notions in discrete and computational geometry and natural generalizations of convex polytopes, which correspond to the $0$-level. A…

Chung and Graham [J. London Math. Soc., 1983] claimed that there exists an $n$-vertex graph $G$ containing all $n$-vertex trees as subgraphs that has at most $\frac{5}{2}n \log_2 n + O(n)$ edges. We identify an error in their proof. This…

Let $K$ be a number field and ${\mathcal O}$ be the ring of $S$-integers in $K$. Morgan, Rapinchuck, and Sury have proved that if the group of units ${\mathcal O}^{\times}$ is infinite, then every matrix in ${\rm SL}_2({\mathcal O})$ is a…
