Let $V$ denote an $r$-dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$, the finite field of $q^n$ elements. Then $V$ is also an $rn$-dimension vector space over $\mathbb{F}_q$. An $\mathbb{F}_q$-subspace $U$ of $V$ is $(h,k)_q$-evasive if…

Let p be an odd prime, n an odd positive integer and C the p-Sylow subgroup the class group of the p-cyclotomic extension of the rationals. When log(p) is bigger than n**(224n**4), we prove that the eigenspace on C attached to the (p-n)-th…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$ and let $v$ be a finite place of $K$. Write $K^{tv}$ the maximal extension of $K$ in which $v$ is totally split and $L$ the field generated over $K^{tv}$ by all torsion points of…

Matrices of rank at most k are defined by the vanishing of polynomials of degree k + 1 in their entries (namely, their (k + 1)-times-(k + 1)-subdeterminants), regardless of the size of the matrix. We prove a qualitative analogue of this…

We show that there exists $k \in \bbn$ and $0 < \e \in\bbr$ such that for every field $F$ of characteristic zero and for every $n \in \bbn$, there exists explicitly given linear transformations $T_1,..., T_k: F^n \to F^n$ satisfying the…

Let V be a bounded pseudoconvex Reinhardt domain in C^2 with many strictly pseudoconvex points and logarithmic image W. It was known that the maximal ideal in $H^{\infty}(V)$ consisting of all functions vanishing at (p,q) in V is generated…

Let $p$ be a prime, and let $\mathbb{Z}_p$ denote the field of integers modulo $p$. The \emph{Nathanson height} of a point $v \in \mathbb{Z}_p^n$ is the sum of the least nonnegative integer representatives of its coordinates. The Nathanson…

We extend the main result of Harrow, Kolla, and Schulman -- the existence of dimension-free $L^2$-bounds for the spherical maximal function in the hypercube -- to all $L^p, p > 1$. Our approach is motivated by the spectral technique…

Given $E \subset {\Bbb R}^d$, define the \emph{volume set} of $E$, ${\mathcal V}(E)= \{det(x^1, x^2, ... x^d): x^j \in E\}$. In $\R^3$, we prove that ${\mathcal V}(E)$ has positive Lebesgue measure if either the Hausdorff dimension of…

For every $n \in \mathbb{N}$ and every field $K$, let $N(n,K)$ be the set of the nilpotent $n \times n$ matrices over $K$ and let $D(n,K) $ be the set of the $n \times n$ matrices over $K$ which are diagonalizable over $K$. Moreover, let…

In this note we study the behavior of symplectic capacities of convex domains in the classical phase space with respect to symplectic $p$-products. As an application, by using a "tensor power trick", we show that it is enough to prove the…

The maximal degree over rational numbers that an n-dimensinonal Kloosterman sum defined over a finite field of characteristic p can achieve is known to be (p-1)/d where d=gcd(p-1,n+1). Wan has shown that this maximal degree is always…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $F$ a field, and $V$ a finite dimensional $FG$-module such that $G$ has no trivial composition factor on $V$. Then the arithmetic average dimension of the fixed point spaces of elements of $G$ on $V$ is at most…

Let K be a skew field, and K_0 be a subfield of the central subfield of K such that K has finite dimension q over K_0. Let V be a K_0-linear subspace of n by n nilpotent matrices with entries in K. We show that the dimension of V is bounded…

We show that the space of vector-valued Siegel automorphic forms in characteristic $p$ is zero when the weight is outside of an explicit locus. This result is a special case of a general conjecture about Hodge-type Shimura varieties…

Let T : Lp --> Lp be a contraction, with p strictly between 1 and infinity, and assume that T is analytic, that is, there exists a constant K such that n\norm{T^n-T^{n-1}} < K for any positive integer n. Under the assumption that T is…

We study the finite dimensional spaces $V$ which are invariant under the action of the finite differences operator $\Delta_h^m$. Concretely, we prove that if $V$ is such an space, there exists a finite dimensional translation invariant…

A symmetric tensor category $\mathcal D$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ is incompressible if every tensor functor out of $\mathcal D$ is an embedding. E.g., the categories $Vec$ and $sVec$ of (super)vector spaces are incompressible.…

We propose a constructive algorithm that decomposes an arbitrary real tensor into a finite sum of orthonormal rank-1 outer products. The algorithm, named TTr1SVD, works by converting the tensor into a tensor-train rank-1 (TTr1) series via…

Let g be a finite dimensional complex semisimple Lie algebra, and let V be a finite dimensional represenation of g. We give a closed formula for the mth Frobenius-Schur indicator, m>1, of V in representation-theoretic terms. We deduce that…
