We prove that the number of "hole elements" $H(K)$ in the infrastructure of a hyperelliptic function field $K$ of genus $g$ with finite constant field $\F_q$ with $n + 1$ places at infinity, of whom $n' + 1$ are of degree one, satisfies…
In [1], K\"otter and Kschischang presented a new model for error correcting codes in network coding. The alphabet in this model is the subspace lattice of a given vector space, a code is a subset of this lattice and the used metric on this…
We use the Taylor-Wiles-Kisin patching method to investigate the multiplicities with which Galois representations occur in the mod $\ell$ cohomology of Shimura curves over totally real number fields. Our method relies on explicit…
If $\rho$ denotes a finite dimensional complex representation of $\textbf{SL}_2(\textbf{Z})$, then it is known that the module $M(\rho)$ of vector valued modular forms for $\rho$ is free and of finite rank over the ring $M$ of scalar…
Alon and F\"uredi (European J. Combin. 1993) gave a tight bound for the following hyperplane covering problem: find the minimum number of hyperplanes required to cover all points of the n-dimensional hypercube {0,1}^n except the origin.…
Lebesgue's universal covering problem is re-examined using computational methods. This leads to conjectures about the nature of the solution which if correct could provide a blueprint for a complete solution. Empirical lower bounds for the…
We apply minimal weakly generating sets to study the existence of Add$(U_R)$-covers for a uniserial module $U_R$. If $U_R$ is a uniserial right module over a ring $R$, then $S:=$End$ (U_R)$ has at most two maximal (right, left, two-sided)…
Let $G$ be a connected reductive group scheme acting on a spherical scheme $X$. In the case where $G$ is of type $A_n$, Aizenbud and Avni proved the existence of a number $C$ such that the multiplicity $\dim\hom(\rho,\mathbb{C}[X(F)])$ is…
We consider some coloring issues related to the famous Erd\H {o}s Discrepancy Problem. A set of the form $A_{s,k}=\{s,2s,\dots,ks\}$, with $s,k\in \mathbb{N}$, is called a \emph{homogeneous arithmetic progression}. We prove that for every…
Efficient global optimization is a widely used method for optimizing expensive black-box functions such as tuning hyperparameter, and designing new material, etc. Despite its popularity, less attention has been paid to analyzing the…
It is a well-known result of Etingof, Nikshych and Ostrik that there are finitely many inequivalent integral modular categories of any fixed rank $n$. This follows from a double-exponential bound on the maximal denominator in an Egyptian…
The length function $\ell_q(r,R)$ is the smallest length of a $ q $-ary linear code of codimension $r$ and covering radius $R$. In this work we obtain new constructive upper bounds on $\ell_q(r,R)$ for all $R\ge4$, $r=tR$, $t\ge2$, and also…
We prove a quantitative distortion theorem for iterated function systems that generate sets of continued fractions. As a consequence, we obtain upper and lower bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of any set of real or complex continued…
In this paper, we consider singular systems of linear forms over global function fields of class number one and give an upper bound for the Hausdorff dimension of the set of singular systems of linear forms by constructing an appropriate…
Let $\F_q^n$ be a vector space of dimension $n$ over the finite field $\F_q$. A $q$-analog of a Steiner system (briefly, a $q$-Steiner system), denoted $S_q[t,k,n]$, is a set $S$ of $k$-dimensional subspaces of $\F_q^n$ such that each…
It is well known that Erd\H{o}s Matching Conjecture concerns the maximum number of hyperedges in an $r$-uniform hypergraph with bounded matching number. As a generalization, it is natural to ask for the maximum number of copies of…
The set of points where an entire function achieves its maximum modulus is known as the maximum modulus set. In 1951, Hayman studied the structure of this set near the origin. Following work of Blumenthal, he showed that, near zero, the…
We study the computational complexity of satisfiability problems for classes of simple finite height (ortho)complemented modular lattices $L$. For single finite $L$, these problems are shown tobe $\mc{NP}$-complete; for $L$ of height at…
Let $n \geq 1$ be an integer, let $V=(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})^{n}$ and let $X$ be a $V$-CW-complex. If $X$ is a finite $CW$-complexe, the equivariant modulo $2$ cohomology of the $V$-CW-complexe $X$, denoted by $H_{V}^{*}(X,…
Threshold graphs are a class of graphs that have many equivalent definitions and have applications in integer programming and set packing problems. A graph is said to have a threshold cover of size $k$ if its edges can be covered using $k$…
