An integer partition \lambda of n corresponds, via its Ferrers diagram, to an artinian monomial ideal I of colength n in the polynomial ring on two variables. If the partition \lambda corresponds to an integrally closed ideal we call…

It has been shown by Batyrev and Borisov that nef partitions of reflexive polyhedra can be used to construct mirror pairs of complete intersection Calabi--Yau manifolds in toric ambient spaces. We construct a number of such spaces and…

Let $Q_n$ denote the $n$-dimensional hypercube with the vertex set $V_n=\{0,1}^n$. A 0/1-polytope of $Q_n$ is a convex hull of a subset of $V_n$. This paper is concerned with the enumeration of equivalence classes of full-dimensional…

In this paper we prove the generalized Kaplansky conjecture for the Jordan algebras of the type $J_n$ in particular for self adjoint $2\times 2$ matrices over $\R$, over $\C$, $\HH$ and $\Oct$. In fact, we prove that the image of…

We generalize the notion of Monk's schema in such a way to integrate finite dimensions. This allows us to lift a plathora of deep results proved for finite dimensions to the infinite dimensional case, like the solution to problem 2.12 in…

We address a metric version of Zariski's multiplicity conjecture at infinity that says that two complex algebraic affine sets which are bi-Lipschitz homeomorphic at infinity must have the same degree. More specifically, we prove that the…

The paper characterizes the convex hull of the closure of the cone-volume set $C_\cv(U)$, consisting of all cone-volume vectors of polygons with outer unit normals vectors contained in $U$, for any finite set $U \subseteq \R^2, \pos(U) =…

We consider the long-standing question of whether every regular LB-space is complete. This problem has been open since the 1950s and originates in Grothendieck's early work in functional analysis. Rather than seeking a direct proof or…

This paper establishes a sharp Schwarz-Pick type inequality for real-valued invariant harmonic functions defined on the complex unit ball $\mathbb B^n$. The proof of this main result simultaneously provides a solution to a natural extension…

We characterize homogeneous hypersurfaces in complex space forms which arise as critical points of a higher order energy functional. As a consequence, we obtain existence and non-existence results for $\mathbb{CP}^n$ and $\mathbb{CH}^n$,…

An inifinite-dimensional representation of the double affine Hecke algebra of rank 1 and type $(C_1^{\vee},C_1)$ in which all generators are tridiagonal is presented. This representation naturally leads to two systems of polynomials that…

Two classes of infinite series involving harmonic numbers and the binomial coefficient $C(3n,n)$ are evaluated in closed form using integrals. Several remarkable integral values and difficult series identities are stated as special cases of…

As a first step towards a general set-theoretic counterpart of the remarkable Bernstein-Walsh-Siciak Theorem concerning the rapidity of polynomial approximation of a holomorphic function on polynomially convex compact sets in…

In this article we give a general approach to the following analogue of Shafarevich's conjecture for some polarized algebraic varieties; suppose that we fix a type of an algebraic variety and look at families of such type of varieties over…

We prove several exact quantitative versions of Helly's and Tverberg's theorems, which guarantee that a finite family of convex sets in $R^d$ has a large intersection. Our results characterize conditions that are sufficient for the…

We prove that two closed subsets of complex space $\C^n$ with corresponding complex homothetic sections (projections) are complex homothetic. The proof uses a new Helly-type theorem for cosets of closed subgroups of $\S ^1$.

We study a generalization of the classical problem of the illumination of polygons. Instead of modeling a light source we model a wireless device whose radio signal can penetrate a given number $k$ of walls. We call these objects $k$-modems…

A $k$-reflection of the $n$-dimensional complex hyperbolic space ${\rm H}_{\C}^n$ is an element in ${\rm U}(n,1)$ with negative type eigenvalue $\lambda$, $|\lambda|=1$, of multiplicity $k+1$ and positive type eigenvalue $1$ of multiplicity…

For arbitrary $n$ complex numbers $a_{\nu-1}$, $\nu=1,\dots,n$, where $n$ is sufficiently large, we get the representation in the form of power sums: $a_{\nu-1}=\lambda_1^\nu+\dots+\lambda_{2n+1}^\nu$, where $\lambda_k$ are distinct points,…

How often is a quintic polynomial solvable by radicals? We establish that the number of such polynomials, monic and irreducible with integer coefficients in $[-H,H]$, is $O(H^{3.91})$. More generally, we show that if $n \ge 3$ and $n \notin…
